"Hop in, slut." Zayn said as I sat on the driver's seat.

He developed a habbit to call me slut since I told him that Like still likes me and that I kissed Harry even though we weren't in a relationship.

I groaned and shut the door. "Shut up, Malik. I'll deal with Luke later."

Truthfully, I was dreading to talk to Luke. I just wish he would ignore his feelings for me and move one to find someone. But, I had to tell Luke about Harry, whatever the hell we are.

"Sure you will. Do you need help with Luke?" He drove down the highway where we got stuck in traffic, as usual.

"Nope, I can handle it." Then my phone vibrated and I took it out, there was a message from Isabelle.

Bells: See you next month, I'm bringing Will again!

Why on earth is life punishing me?  Isabelle left home earlier today to head off to New York, Mom seemed to like Will. According to Isabelle, the dinner was fun and comfortable. Will probably put a disguise to fool them, jerk.

To Bells: okie, wish to meet him soon (:

Big bullshit.

Then the catchy song played on the radio.

Better than words

More than a feeling

Crazy in love

Dancing on the ceiling

I sat up straight and turned the volume up. "Zayn, it's One Erection! Oh myyy!"

Zayn was flabbergasted, he looked crimson. "Erection? Are you mocking them or what?"

"What? I'm not mocking them, this song is so catchy. Why are you mad?"

"They're One Direction, stupid. Next time you insult them, I will disown you." He threatened.

"I'm so sorry! This was the taxi driver's fault, he said they were One Erection. Forgive me, Zen." I slapped my forehead.

"Only this time, One Direction is my life. I'm a fanboy for God's sake." The traffic slowly dispersed and we smoothly made our way to school.

"Since when did you like them?" Getting out his truck and slinging my backpack on one shoulder.

He locked his car and walked by my side. "I talked to Fleur last week and turns out she likes them. She suggested some songs to me and they were awesome."

"Can you send some to me? Please."

"After you talk to Hemmings." He challenged me.

If I talk to him at all.

Physics went slow which led me to doze off in my seat, after that Lunch came and the group and I shared stories, Harry and I keeping whatever we are a secret. Only Zayn knew. Geo couldn't keep her eyes off Harry. Liam talked about his soon to be girlfriend, Cathy.

And now Math. Tapping my foot repeatedly while I wait for Luke to arrive, I slightly jump when my phone buzzed.

Harry was calling me, strange. I look back at him and he was on his phone. I accepted.

"This is stupid. What do you " As much as I like to talk to him, I need to focus on Luke first.

Silence. "Nothing, I like your voice."

I had to say, that one was sweet. "We can talk later after school."

"We can't, I've got football practice with Louis and the team."

"Then some time like tomorrow. It's just one day, we can do this." I whispered lowly, wary of my surroundings.

"Oh and I'm giving you the key card to the studio tomorrow."

My face lit up and I cupped my mouth to hide the big ass grin I had. "Okay. I still can't believe you're giving me access to your personal studio."

"Why not?"

"It looks like you're spoiling me."

"I am. You're mine, right?" His velvety voice spoke.

"I'm yours."

I could hear him smile over the phone. "Perfect. I'll talk to you tonight, bye."

"Bye." I muttered.

Finally, Luke had arrived and plopped down on his seat. I noticed he looked down and saw the bags under his eyes.

"Luke, are you okay?"

Obviously he wasn't. "Family stuff, believe me you don't want to hear it."

"You can tell me, maybe I can help."

I cared for his family, they've all been so appreciating and grateful to me and it was hard when we broke up. I haven't seen them for so long nor heard from them.

"Jack got in an accident. He fractured some limbs and he's got a concussion." Luke's blue eyes was blurry through the tears threathing to spill.

"Will he wake up?" I had to ask.

"T-they don't know." His voice was inaudible, he was on the verge of crying.

I soothed him, rubbing his back in comfort. "Don't lose hope."

"H-he broke his l-leg and the doctors said he couldn't walk with it again." Tears poured down.

I didn't even hesitate to wipe them away. His soft skin under my fingertips brought back memories.

"I'm so sorry, Luke. How is Liz with it?"

"Not so great, she and Dad has to work 24/7 to pay for the hospital bills." He stopped crying and now looked empty.

I couldn't even tell him that I like Harry anymore. This would just pile on him and he's gone through enough, it will just have to wait.

"In the end, everything will be fine." I was feeding him shit but I had to, he needs to be hopeful.

"Maybe." He said under his breath.

The teacher arrived soon and I couldn't listen,  Luke worried me. I would check on him once or twice every minute and I would see him staring out the window. Then an idea came to my head.

I poked his muscular arm. "Can we visit Jack?"

"Why do you want to see him?" His tone was hard.

"He was my friend, I want to see him." It was true, Jack and I spent some quality time whenever Luke was gone.

He folded his hands together. "Alright, we'll go later."

"Thank you for agreeing."

Then he smiled for the first time today. "No, thank you for caring about him."

"Happy to be here."

I just hope I'm not leading Luke on. All I want is to be his friend and only friend.

Thirty minutes of boredom and math equations then the school bell rung and everyone gathered in the hallways. I saw Harry on his way to the field carrying a strap bag. I couldn't wait to talk to him tonight.

Luke and I headed to his car and he drove towards the hospital. On the way there wasn't awkward at all, I had grown find of him and we had a few laughs here and there. He even if told me about Calum forgetting his lines on a gig and they had to make some up just to satisfy the crowd.

I was hysterical and so was Luke. But the mood wouldn't last forever, soon I would see Jack in a hospital bed. Nobody knows if he will ever wake up again.

Poor Jack.
