A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed. ~Henrik Isben
Luke's POV
"I don't know what we're going to do about it." Barbie said to me as we approached the school. She had given me a ride today, but both of us were extremely shaky.
"Neither do I." I replied.
"Good thing I'm good at doing makeup in the car." Barbie said. It's true, around the bruises on my face she had put concealer so no one would really be able to tell.
"Luke," Barbie spoke. "What are you going to do?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Michael really likes you, why can't you just go be with him?"
"You know the answer to that, Barbie." I turned to the blonde who nodded. She did know. She knew that it was not that easy of a task. That I could not get up and leave because it was Kody. Kody was not one to mess with and one way or another, he always got his way. Especially when it came to me.
"I don't like Michael anyways." I said.
"Why not?" Barbie asked.
"It's dumb that he thinks he can just all pretty and then approach me one day and think I'm just going to leap into his arms." I rolled my eyes. "Plus, this whole thing is because he got a little too interested."
"I would be interested if I was him." Barbie shrugged. I turned my head to her with confusion crossing my features. "Luke, you're like..The ultimate mystery." Barbie gave a wink. "People love that."
"How many romance novels have you been reading?"
"I'm serious!" Barbie whined. "Try understanding it like this. You have this little treasure chest. And it needs a key. There's only one key and you have to find it. When you do find the key, you get all the secrets. The secrets you wanted for so long. Michael is trying to find the key to open your treasure chest. He can just tell that there's something else to you. He wants to get inside your mind."
"And when he does?" I raised an eyebrow. "He just ditches me. I would be better off with Kody."
"That's dumb." Barbie said. "And, no he wouldn't just ditch you. You learn something knew everyday. And everyday you can offer something for him to learn about you. He just wants to know how you tick."
"This isn't making me like him anymore." I rolled my eyes.
"There's nothing about him that makes you interested?" Barbie turned her head to me and I had to think about it for a second.
"There is..This one thing that I was wondering about." I mumbled. "But Barbie, why am I going to bother with it?"
"Let yourself get ruined then." Barbie replied coldly. "And you may not care Luke but there are people that do care.. I care!"
"I never said you didn't." I sighed.
"Then why can't you just go for it? What are you afraid of?" Barbie sighed.
"I just got the hell beaten out of me by the person in this world I thought cared about me, and that I cared the most about." I said. "You just don't turn around and give all of your time and energy and affection to another person after that! Why can't you get that through your head!?"
"I can't get it through my head because you won't try! Because even after everything you still want to crawl back to Kody like the pathetic boy that you are!" Barbie yelled, she hit her fist against my chest as she burst into tears, falling onto me. I sighed and wrapped my arms around her body. "I'm sorry.."
"It's okay." I said quietly. "It's alright." I paused. "Need a smoke?"
"No, no, I'm alright." Barbie sighed as she wiped under her eyes. I think this was the part of us that people missed. People saw us as the druggies. The pill-poppers and smokers. But we were more then that. We were humans too. We had feelings, we had emotions. We loved like anyone else. We hurt just as much too.
"Come on then." I said as I put my arm around Barbie's shoulders as we walked towards the entrance of the school.
"Hey." Skarlet said as she met us at the entrance. She was standing with Riley and Sammy. She looked at me with incredible caution.
"Where's Karla and Axel?" I asked.
"Coming." Skarlet said. "Take a seat pretty boy." I took a seat and played with my fingers. Everyone else engaged in conversation until I spoke up again.
"Where's Kody?" I raised my eyes to Skarlet and you could see the anger filling her eyes.
"Damned if I know." She replied with a calmness that betrayed the look on her face. I let out a sigh as I leaned back.
"Hey guys!" I heard Karla yell and turned to the sound of her voice with a complete and utter shock of whom she was walking with.
"No way." I shook my head slowly.
"You could say that again." Barbie said.
I turned to her. "No way."
"Shut up."
I turned my head back and saw Karla and Axel walking with Ashton, Calum and Michael. Three kids that absolutely despised us and our ways. But here they were, walking towards us. Skarlet looked slightly surprised too. But Sammy and Axel were nonchalant about the whole thing.
"Hi." Karla smiled as she kissed my cheek and I sat back slightly looking to Barbie with confusion. But we were both more concerned with the fact that Karla was kissing everyone's cheek. Although when she got to Skarlet..
"You lay your lips on me and I swear I will rip them off and use them to unclog my toilet." Skarlet snarled and Karla nodded before turning back to the three people next to us.
"Anyways, this is Ashton, Calum and Michael. Guys this is Sammy, Skarlet, Riley, Barbie and Luke." Karla smiled.
"Barbie?" Ashton raised an amused eyebrow.
"That would be me, and if you're gonna be a jerk about it. You can leave." Barbie replied, folding her arms.
"What are you guys even doing here?" I asked. "Don't you hate us?"
"Yeah. About that.." Calum mumbled as he exchanged a look with Ashton.
