Luke's P.O.V.
One Week Earlier
"You're dating Jackson?" I fell onto my bed, confused and afraid.
"Mhm! He apologized for what happened a few years back... And, well, clearly nobody else is going to love me. So, why not?" Asia tried to give me a reason, but I heard her voice shake.
But, I love you. I always have and always will until I die. Is what I wanted to blurt out to her.
"This is a horrible idea, Asia."
"Luke! You know how lonely I am. I need someone who will fulfill my sexual desires." Asia whispered.
"I will." I muttered back, praying she didn't hear it. "Look, I'm just saying that this is an incredibly dangerous idea."
"What was that you said?" Asia's voice cracked.
"Dangerous idea?"
"You think this is a joke? It's not a joke, Luke. I'm suffering through my own fears because I'm a desperate teenage girl, that no one will love in a romantic way. The fact that you just thought it'd be funny to say 'I will' is truly hurtful. I can't believe you. You know what? No. Fuck you, Hemmings."
The line went dead, and my cell phone slid from between my hands.
What just happened...? My mind was racing, and I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong to risk our relationship. It wasn't a joke, why can't she see that?

no comment tbh.
