Chapter 10

Luke's POV

"When I close my eyes and try to sleep

I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe

You're the reason, the only reason

Even though my dizzy head is numb,

I swear my heart is never giving up

You're the reason, the only reason

When I close my eyes and try to sleep

I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe

You're the reason, the only reason

Even though my dizzy head is numb,

I swear my heart is never giving up

You're the reason, the only reason."

After the song, they waited for me to finish my shift before we headed out to Ash's house to continue working on more songs.

"That went well," Cal said, referring to the audience responses after our performance.

"That went well," a voice mocked from behind us. Oh no, not them again.

"Tom, what are you even doing here?" Cal asked him. He attacked me yesterday, he usually gives me a break of a day or two.

"Well, we didn't get to finish our little activity yesterday. But luckily Scar isn't here to interrupt us again."

"Seriously? Let me guess, she yelled at you after you attacked Luke and forbids you from coming after him again," Mike said as the three of them laughed, taunting Tom.

"Excuse me? She is not the boss of me. I can do what I want."

"Oh really? What lie did you come up with?"

"I didn't have to lie."

"So what? You told her you had to leave to go beat up Luke? Please, like you actually dare. I mean, didn't you quit smoking and drinking because she told you to?"

"Me quitting has nothing to do with her."

"As if. You act like such a badass, though most of the time you hide behind those four. Do you really need all four of them to beat up Luke? Face it Tom, you are literally all bark and no bite. Even when you do hit Luke, you need the four of them to hold him down. As for Scar, your cellphone has been vibrating since you got here. You have been itching to pick it up because you don't want to make her mad since you just fought yesterday. Go on, answer it," Mike said as Tom's eyes widen.

Almost immediately, the four of the standing behind Tom went straight to Mike, ready to hit him.

"You clearly don't know who you're talking to."

"Seriously? Now you want to bring in the cliche "you have no idea who you're messing with" line. I really applaud you Tom," Mike teased even further. Tom seemed taken aback for a while before he quickly regained his composure and his infamous smirk resurface.

"Destroy them," he instructed.

The four of them pinned us as Tom just watched with a smug look on his face.

"You know, this just confirms everything. 'Destroy them'? Why? Can't do it yourself," Mike said spitting out blood.

Nathan flew his fist at me repeatedly before bring his knee to dig into my stomach.
