JACK POV———
"Can you just drop me off at my house, please?" I ask him. I know I am ruining his reputation, a popular school footballer hanging out with a gay nerd? I'm not gonna be the reason he's "unpopular". I grab my bag and walk to his car, sitting in the passenger seat quickly. I see Luke from the window get up from his seat and go to the car, quickly sitting down. "What's wrong?" He asks me worried. "Just bring me home please." I fake a smile. He starts the car and puts his hand on my thigh before leaving the parking lot. God I hate this. I really, really love him but I can't be the reason his life turns into a living hell like mine.
He pulls up to my house,
"Luke?"
"What's up?"
"I think we should.. stop seeing eachother." Without waiting for a response or anything else, I quickly got out of the car and ran towards my front door, as I close it I see him staring at the steering wheel. I slip off my shoes and run into my room, i plopped down on my bed and started crying into a pillow. God. I hate myself. I get up and slip on pajamas. It was about 6:42 pm, but I couldn't get myself to do anything. I scroll on my phone until my eyes get heavy. My mind becomes filled with thoughts as I remember we have almost all classes together. God. God. God. dammit. I go onto Twitter to check my "for you" and scrolled for a few hours. My room begins to get filled with light, I check the time. School starts in 30 minutes. What the hell? I didn't get any sleep! I rush off my bed and almost trip on a pillow that I knocked off the bed. I grab a random turtleneck and again some jeans. I grab all my school stuff and put socks on. I rush downstairs and start the coffee machine, slipping on my black boots and my black jacket. I grab the coffee cup and put a lid on it before running out of my house. Class starts in 3 minutes and I live 8 minutes away. I've never been late to school. I run as fast as I can but still get into school late. I run to my locker and grab my stuff. I walk into class and the room goes quiet, everyone turns to look at me. Including Luke. He looks worried. I'm fine, I was just late once. I sit down with all my stuff and drink a bit of my coffee as the teacher continues with the lesson. I sit across the room from Luke but I can feel has eyes staring at me. I continue working on whatever we started. The bell rings and I start collecting my stuff, i feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around. It was luke, "can we talk?" I heard him say as I turn back around and head out the classroom. The whole day I ignore him, I seriously can't ruin his life just because of stupid sex. I hide out in the bathroom during lunch, eating my lunch in a stall. After school I head home, continuously checking my phone for a text. I never receive one. When I walk inside my dad runs up to me, "So? How was your date last night?" He smiles.
"It wasn't a date." I mumble as I unzip my boots. "Mhmh.. whatever you say... Anyways, mom wanted me to tell you we are having spaghetti for dinner." He begins to walk off. I walk upstairs and work on homework until my parents called me for dinner. I ate it and walked back upstairs and watched Netflix until it got dark outside. I go downstairs to get water and expect my parents down there, but they aren't. I check the garage and their car isn't even there. They just left me in the middle of the night? To go where?
I grab a cup of water and head back upstairs. I grab a few books to read before I slept. I grabbed a candle and lit it, turning off my lights. I grab a vinyl out of my collection and picked out my "Arctic Monkeys" album and the first song that played was "do I wanna know?" I play it as I sit down. I start reading my book until I heard a tap at my window.
