~ALANA~

I wake up the next morning next to Michael. He looks so cute when he's sleeping. Considering Michael was still sleeping I decided to be a nice person and not wake him up.

I grab my laptop and messaged @catchinsanity, I messaged him last night too and he never seemed to answer. I'm getting worried.

I grab my phone from my wooden nightstand next to Michael and decide to call Luke, as crazy as it sounds. We need to work on our project.

"Hello?" His voice raspy.

"Did I wake you?" I question.

Why am I talking to Luke again? Oh yeah I'm stupid.

~LUKE~

My phone rings from beside me. Rachel stirs in her sleep.

Why did I sleep with Rachel? Oh yeah because I'm stupid.

"Hello?" I question into the phone. Who calls me at ten in the morning, that's too early.

"Did I wake you?" Her voice rings in my ear.

My heart stops, it's Alana.

I could lie, and be an ass.

No Luke you have to make an effort. This girl is too great to let go.

"Nah- no I'm great. I mean- no I'm not busy." Stupid stupid stupid.

"Well I was thinking we could. I mean I know we aren't on the best terms right now but we need to work on that project for school. I figure now is best since we are on a break from school."

How could I say no?

"Yeah- great, sure you can come to my place. I promise I'll drive you home this time." I lightly laugh.

"Great see you in five." She says.

Shit. Rachel's house is at least a good fifteen minute drive from my house.

I quickly get up and rush around to put my clothes on.

Rachel looks up at from the bed. "Where are you going Luke?"

"I'm leaving, no time for talking!" I yell running out of her room and to my car, leaving Rachel stunned.

Why am I such an ass?

I don't know, but you need to start changing.

I pull into my driveway to see Alana sitting on my porch with her writing journal and her guitar.

"Hey, Luke." She smiled to me.

I opened the door to my house and Alana and I walked straight to my room to start on the song.

~

"Al, can I ask you something?" I say setting my guitar down to look at her.

"Only if you stop calling me Al." She says, with a slight smile.

"Okay, Alana, did you and Michael...." I couldn't ask. My fist started to ball. "I know you and Michael slept together." I said bluntly.

She didn't seem taken back at all, Alana just smiled. "Why does it matter?"

"Because we, and I thought-"

"What? You thought because I was drunk enough to sleep with you that I wanted to be with you? It takes a lot more than one drunken mistake to win me over Hemmings." She snapped.

"I just thought that maybe- okay why does it have to take?" I whisper.

"I'll let you know when I figure out myself. for now let's work on this song."

~ALANA~

Why does Luke wanna get to know how to win me over all of a sudden?

He's an ass. Mikey helped me believe that.

But is he actually trying to make a change?

I guess we will give him a chance to get to know us then we will find out, won't we Alana?

Lets see how this goes.

~

"Okay I can't take it anymore. I need to be honest with you." Luke said staring intently at me.

Oh god this could be anything.

Okay keep it calm.

"Yeah, go ahead." I nervously smile to him.

He takes a shaky breath and takes my hand.

What is this feeling so sudden and new?

Calm down Alana, he's an ass...remember?

"Okay, um, I used to bully you, and I'm really sorry. I let everyone around me influence the way I acted towards you. Not anymore."

I can't believe what is happening here. Is The Luke Hemmings being.... Nice?

"I'm really sorry for everything I've out you through. I didn't realise how much pain I've put you through until I talked to you for real. For the first time. You didn't know it was me."

"Wait what are you talking about?" I say removing me hands from his and standing up.

He moves towards me and looks at me with those beautiful captivating blue eyes. "I'm catchinsanity, I'm Robert."

My heart stopped. How long has he known about me being flyaway?

He knows all of my secrets.

Is this why he kissed me? Is this why he is trying to be nice and make an effort?

I don't know whether to be angry or happy.

But either way my lips were brought to his and I kissed my Internet friend who saved me from loneliness.

He brought me company.

He pulled away smiling down at me. "I guess we don't have to meet up at Mel's Café anymore." He laughed.

His laugh was perfect. It's amazing how fast your perspective can change.

I look back up too Luke blushing. " I guess not."
