Chapter 10

Luke picked me up at 7:30 just after I got home from dropping 'Michael' off to wherever he was going. I was so curious about why he suddenly didn't decide to come after I mentioned Luke? It intrigued me. I suppose I would ask Luke about it when we were alone but for now, I kept it on the down low.

We arrived at Luke's house. Memories of me and Ashton came flooding back. The way he kissed my lips, the way his hands roamed every inch of my body. The way he made me feel. I started to get butterflies just thinking about him. We hadn't spoken in almost 3 weeks. I don't know why?
But I think Luke said he was coming today.

As we entered I could see sitting on the sofas was Ava, Calum, Ashton and this girl I'd never seen before in my life.
"Hey Lila." Ava smiled at me as did Calum.
"Oh hey Lila." Ashton said, not looking me in the eye.
I noticed Ashton had his arm around the girl next to him.
She was quite slim and had mid-length blonde hair. What?
"Lila this is.. Bryanna- Ashton's girlfriend." Luke said turning away from the new couple. I could feel my heart slowly break as I watched her looking at me intently.

I know me and Ashton never actually confirmed a relationship but he made me feel like I was special. He was the closest thing I'd ever had to a boyfriend.
He's the only boy if had sex with since I had my last bad experience with my last boyfriend. I trusted him.
Guess I meant nothing to Ash after all.

"H-hey" I replied.
"Hey." she said, obviously knowing about mine and Ashton's previous association.

Luke could tell what this done to me as he said "Why don't you come and get a drink Lila." placing his hand on the small of my back.
I turned away, heartbroken as Luke led me into the kitchen, breaking the tension in the room.

"You okay?" Luke asked, his eyes filled with concern.
"Yeah sure, why wouldn't I be?" I weakly smiled.
"It's just that, I know Ashton meant something to you. I'm sorry Lila. I should have told you he was bringing Bryanna." He looked me in the eyes, and I broke down.
"I'll be fine." I said with a wiping my eyes with the cuff of my sleeve.
I don't know why I feel this way. I mean me and Ashton only fucked? Big deal. But I guess it was the fact I thought Ashton cared about me. I was obviously wrong.

The tall, blonde boy came over and wrapped his arms around my waist, me sighing as I feel his warmth as I sink into the comfort. He placed his head on mine squeezing me tight.
"You'll be fine. Come on." I wiped my eyes as he grabbed my hand and he was pulling me into the lounge. I stopped him as I remembered to ask him about Michael. "Wait Luke. Do you know someone called Michael?"
"Michael Clifford?" He turned on his heel looking me at me intently.
"Yeah him, he came into the store yesterday and was quite rude. But today when he came in he was happy and winking at me and stuff. It was really cold so I gave him a ride ho-" I was cut off by a concerned Luke.
"Yeah, I know Michael. He's a fucking dickhead who broke my heart." the pain in Luke's voice told me he was serious. "What's happened Luke? I'm sorry." I looked at his glazed blue eyes.
"When I was 16. Me and Michael were best friends. Like we done everything together. I had a girlfriend called Zara. She was so beautiful. She was the centre of my world, and Michael, well he brought it crashing down.." His deep voice cracked with sadness.
"How? Tell me Luke."
"He- he had sex with her. She fell for him real bad. She left me behind and ran off with him. He moved to Australia again, and took Zara with him. I never knew he was back in England. I guess he broke her heart too."

The tears started running down his face as the memories of his past start replaying in his mind.
"I'm- I'm so sorry Luke. I had no idea." I said hugging his waist.
"It's okay Lila. You had no idea." He replied kissing my head.

"Maybe he's changed Luke. Maybe he's different now." I said, not looking at Luke as he stayed quiet.
"I mean today when I gave him a ride he seemed nice and all. Even though his mood swings are pretty bad."
"I don't know Lila. Maybe he has, but don't get involved with that dude. He'll hurt you and I don't want that." Luke weakly smiled. "Come on, let's get back to the movie." I smiled, my arm around his waist, his around mine as we walked back into the lounge.

"Where have you been?" Calum asked. "Just talking" I smiled, looking at Luke as we sat on the sofa, his arm around my shoulders. I truly care about Luke.
The next time I see that fucking dick, ill have something to say to him. Nobody hurts my best friends feelings.
