Caitlin's P.O.V

It was Wednesday, I asked Calum for a ride to school, I couldn't sleep...I was too busy worrying about Luke... I hope he's okay. Calum parked his car, and we got out. We headed to the rest of the boys, Luke was there but he had his hoodie up, he was also in crutches. What have I done....

"Lukey, are you okay?" I ran as I asked him that.

He ignored me.

"Luke, are you okay?" I asked him again, this time I started trembling.

I shortly arrived to where the boys were standing.

"What the hell is wrong with your boyfriend?" Ashton shouted.

"I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean for Luke to get hurt." I said whilst trembling even more.

"He nearly killed Luke yesterday. Do you not care about Luke? After all those times, he has been there for you... "Michael shouted.

"I'm sorry, I..." I started shaking; tears were flowing down my face. I couldn't look at Luke in the eyes. I ran off.

Luke's P.O.V

"Guys, it wasn't her fault." I murmured whilst in pain.

"It is her fault; her boyfriend could have killed you Luke." Ashton argued.

"It's not; I'm the one who kissed her." I replied.

"Well... James is the one who threatened to kill you, if you got in the way of his relationship with Caitlin." Calum said.

"I kissed her, it's all my fault. I should have just been happy for her; instead of trying to break up her relationship with James, even though he's a jerk." I contradicted.

"No! This isn't acceptable. He can't do this to you Luke." Ashton shouted.

"Guys just leave it. It's my mess, I'll sort it.

The school bell rang, signalling that it was the start of class. We had music. Today was the day in which we had to perform the song to the class that we wrote about a specific person. Mine was Caitlin...

"Right class, who wants to perform first?" Ms Bloomfield asked.

I raised my hand. "I will." I said.

"Are you sure you're okay to perform Luke?" Ms Bloomfield questioned me.

"Yes." I replied.

I got up with a little help from Calum and Ashton. I asked Michael to bring me a guitar, I rested the body of the guitar on my right leg, and even though it hurt I could handle the pain.

"This is dedicated to my best friend... " I said.

Caitlin automatically looked at me.

[Luke]

Six weeks since I've been away

And now you're sayin' everything has changed

And I'm afraid that I might be losing you

Now every night that I spend alone

Kills me thinking of you on your own

And I wish I was back home next to you

Oh every day

You feel a little bit further away

And I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time

talking on a broken line

Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

I won't give up

even though it hurts so much

Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces

Now it feels we're as close as strangers

Late night calls and another text

Is this as good as we're gonna get?

Another time zone taking me away from you

Livin' dreams and fluorescent lights

while you and I are running out of time

but you know that I'll always wait for you

Oh every day

You feel a little bit further away

and I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time

talking on a broken line

Telling you I

haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

I won't give up

even though it hurts so much

Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces

Now it feels we're as close as strangers

On the phone

I can tell that you wanna move on

through the tears

I can hear that I shouldn't have gone

every day, gets harder to stay away from you

So tell me are we wasting time

talking on a broken line

telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

Wasting time

talking on a broken line

telling you I haven't seen your face in ages

I feel like we're as close as strangers

I won't give up

Even though it hurts so much

every night; I'm losing you in a thousand faces

now it feels we're as close as strangers

6 months since I went away

and to know everything has changed

but tomorrow I'll be coming back to you.

"Wow that was amazing. Thank you Luke." Ms Bloomfield complimented.

Caitlin was in tears, she was crying uncontrollably. I don't know what we are anymore... a best friend wouldn't do this to their other half.
