"Alex, Luke! Thank God," mum says as she opens the door to us.

I roll my eyes, "I was just walking about. You didn't have to worry,"

Luke stands awkwardly in the porch as I step into the hall. Although he's been to my house a lot more now, he still feels uncormfortable. I move my hand, gesturing for him to follow me and he does.

"Is it okay if I stay for a bit?" Luke asks to my mum.

"Yes of course. Stay as long as you like," she smiles.

I think one of the main reasons she likes him so much is because he helps me out a lot. I can always rely on him to be there.

He smiles back and we head upstairs, passing Owen on the landing, who nods at me, smirking.

"What's so funny?" I spit.

Owen looks from me to Luke and back to me again. He doesn't say anything else, just goes downstairs.

I know what he was thinking.

We get into my bedroom and I flop down onto my bed while Luke stands opposite me. He looks around himself and smiles when he sees my posters. We've always liked the same kind of music.

He heads over to them and I quickly think of something to say, but nothing seems to be coming out of my mouth.

"How long have you had these now?" he asks, breaking the silence.

"Oh, God. I don't know. Ages," I laugh.

He laughs too, quietly. It's really awkward and it's never like this. I'm afraid it's already too late to save our friendship.

Suddenly, I hear a phone ringing and follow the sound to Luke's pocket. He looks at me apologetically and answers it.

"Yeah?" he says, into his phone.

He sighs as the person on the other end of the line is rambling on. I wonder who it could be.

"Look, Michael, can we talk about this later?"

Oh.

Luke sees me staring at him and turns around, uncomfortably.

"It doesn't matter right now. I will speak to you later," he says, frustrated.

Sighing again, he ends the call and puts his phone back.

"Sorry about that," he says, sitting next to me on my bed.

I smile, "It's fine,"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Luke eventually went back home and for once I was actually quite relieved about that. I know we kind of talked it over but I still feel uncomfortable around him and I can't change that.

It's 3am and right now, Luke is the only thing that's on my mind. I've tried watching films and reading books and playing games but I can't get him out of my head. Why did I lean in? I've gone and fucking ruined everything.

After shutting my laptop away, I get up and quietly head into the bathroom which is unfortunately at the other side of the landing. My feet step on the floorboards and instantly make creaking noises but hopefully nobody hears.

"What are you doing?"

I jump and turn around. Owen is standing at his door, rubbing his eyes.

"I need a pee," I tell him.

"Well don't make so much noise," he yawns.

I forget how much of a light sleeper he is.

"Sorry, just go back to bed," I say.

"I can't now. You bloody woke me up," he complains, going back to his room.

As I turn around and go into the bathroom, I hear him doing something. Trying to set up his computer I guess.

"Shit," he mumbles, loudly.

I laugh and shut the bathroom door behind me. Hopefully some warm water will make me more sleepy than this. It splashes onto my face and drips off my chin, making a puddle on the edge of the sink. I sigh and sit on the floor, not even bothering to dry my face.

"Are you coming out or what?" Owen whispers through the crack in the door.

I stand up and open it.

"What do you want?" I groan, just wanting to go to sleep.

"I can't sleep," he whines, "You have to stay up with me!"

"No way! I'm going back to bed," I say, pushing past him..

"Please can we just watch TV or something?"

"I thought you were going on your computer?"

"No one is gonna be online,"

I bite my lip, thinking.

"Fine," I say, "But if I fall asleep, don't you dare wake me up,"

He grins and heads downstairs while I grab myself a blanket and follow after him.
