Alice couldnt know. Luke couldnt know.
But how would they ? they dint even bother to check upon me. none of them.
before me and luke had atleast grown to the talking stage. but now ? i wish that hadnt happened.
its been a month and half now.
alice has been keeping on missing literature and i get no calls from her.
whenever i try to call her , she just shuts me off saying shes busy and she will call later.
And school ? lets not just talk about it.
it was hard to ignore luke while passing by or whenever he used to stare at me i would just walk away.
it was recess now. i was to myself so i just bought lunch and sat at the table where me luke and alice used to sit.
i was eating in silence when suddenly luke came and sat down.
"whats wrong with you ?"
"were is alice ?"
" im not here to talk about alice. im asking you. whats wrong with you ?"
"why ? whats wrong with me ? "
"you have been ignoring me ever since me and al started dating"
dating. ouch.
"theres nothing like that".
"oh is that so ? so tell me why i never got a reply on my messages to you , why my calls are never picked up , why am i ignored and why do you run away when i try and talk to you ? whats the matter av? are you okay ? "
I was just about to leave when he caught my hand.
"tell me. comeon. im not leaving you until you do"
"luke. leave my hand"
"tell me"
"FINE. I JUST FEEL LEFT OUT OKAY ? SINCE YOU AND AV STARTED GOING OUT SHE HAS COMPLETELY THROWN ME OUT OF LIFE. SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW THAT IT HURTS. SHE HAS FRIENDS. I DONT. IT HURTS LUKE. IT HURTS TO BE LEFT BEHIND BY THE ONLY PERSON YOU LOOK UPON TO. AND AN- AND YOU.
YOU ARE THE REASON. YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THIS. IT HURTS WHEN IM AROUND YOU. AND THE BEST OPTION IS , WE MAINTAIN OUR DISTANCE . THIS WAY , NO ONE WILL GET HURT"
i realized some people were looking at us but they just minded thier own buisness again after 4 5 seconds.
i saved up my tears.
no no no. i couldnt cry. no one shall see me crying. im not crying here. im not letting them think im weak
"sorry. goodbye luke"
"WAIT . AVRIL!"
i did not turn . i could not bear to see his brown eyes one more time.
I stopped.
" What ? "
luke asked , "why does it hurt ? why does it hurt being around me ?"
i said , " that again , is something i wish youll know but i wish you never experience.".
"goodbye luke".
