SAMANTHA's POV:

Once Luke left and went back to his house, I went back up to my room to be alone, just needing to think about what I was going to do next. I was still hung up on the fact that Luke had come right out and told me that he didn't really love Rachel. That was what confused me the most. I wasn't quite sure of what I would do next, because I always had a great time with Luke, no matter what we were doing. Sometimes when I would sneak over to his house, we didn't end up having sex, we would just sit down or lay down together and talk about things that were bothering us or just simply going on in our lives, and I loved that. I had always felt something between Luke and I, and I had always hoped that maybe, someday, a miracle would come along and we would end up together, but I never knew how he felt about me.

But now Rachel isn't in the picture anymore.

I could do nothing but lay on my bed and let all of these thoughts run through my mind right now, but I wasn't sure if that was such a good idea, because I was starting to think that maybe, just maybe, Luke and I could now be together in the way that I wanted to be with him. There was one problem with that fantasy though, and that was the fact that I was seventeen and he was twenty three, so our relationship would be illegal for about a year, and I didn't want that, I wanted a worry and hassle free relationship with the man who I had fallen head over heels for.

I wanted Luke, but I wasn't sure if he wanted me.

But if he didn't love Rachel, then who did he love? Did he love anyone actually? Probably not, I mean, he would need time to deal with the realization that his engagement was broken off because of me, so he probably hated me and is just not telling me. I felt terrible about this whole situation, but then again, I'm also having mixed feelings about it, because now that Luke and Rachel aren't together anymore, I could actually have a chance with him if he thought the same way about me that I've felt about him for awhile now. I just want him to be happy again though, that's what really matters to me, his happiness.

My phone was laying on my stomach, and it startled me a little bit when it vibrated, signaling that I had received a text. I picked it up and saw that Luke had texted me, but it was longer than what was shown on the screen, so I unlocked my phone to read it.

L: I need to see you tonight, I need you here with me.

S: Why?

L: Because you always make me forget the world.

S: I don't think it's a good idea tonight, Luke.

L: Why not?

S: Because you're just feeling sorry for yourself right now. You need time to heal from this.

L: Please, just come over, Sam. I need you.

S: I'll be over later.

L: You will?

S: I guess, yeah.

L: Thank you.

S: No problem.

I sighed and tossed my phone back down on the bed beside me, and then I ran my hands over my face while letting out a heavy breath, because I didn't like the fact that Luke was trying to use me as a distraction from what was really happening. He had to come to the realization that things always won't be perfect, but then again, if he said that he didn't really love Rachel, then that must mean that he wasn't happy when he was with her. Maybe he thinks that life is going to be better now since they're not together anymore, but I still couldn't wrap my head around that thought. Is he trying to say that he's happiest when he's with me, or is it only lust taking over?
