My first love, was my bully (5sos fanfic)

THIRTY-EIGHT (the end?)

Liana's POV

I didn't know what to say to him, I saw sadness and confusion in his eyes. I couldn't look at him any longer. It hurt too much. I turned around and shut my eyes trying so hard not to cry. I saw Mike on the couch and that's when I realized I knew why I was telling Luke that I couldn't hurt him. The weeks that I haven't been around Luke I was spending time with Mike. I now understood what he was saying before we came here. Luke's loss would be Mike's gain. I had realized that being with Luke meant that there could be a huge possibility that what happened between Mike and I would happen again. I didn't want that.

"Mike." I choked out.

He turned his head and saw the look on my face. Instantly he got up and rushed over to me.

"Ana? What's wrong? What happened? Luke..."

"No. It's not, he didn't do anything. Can we go now?"

"Yeah. Luke, we'll talk later?"

I didn't turn around but the sound of his voice told me that I didn't have to see his face to know what he was feeling.

"Y-yeah. Talk to you later."

His voice was choked and it sounded as if he was crying. I closed my eyes and tried not to let the tears fall. I opened my eyes and quickly headed for the door. I caught a small glimpse of Luke's face as I walked by. He was sad, crying actually. It broke me, as soon as I was in the car I was full on crying.

Mike was in the car soon after and didn't ask anything. I tried to stop crying but it didn't work. Nothing worked. I tried to calm my breathing that didn't work and me trying to think about something else didn't work either.

"Ana, are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"I really don't think you're okay Ana."

"Mike please."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine."

I noticed that we were close to my house. I didn't want to go home yet.

"Mike can we go somewhere else besides to my house? I don't want to go home right now."

"Yeah, of course. Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere but home."

"My place sound good? We can hang out in the backyard or something."

"Yeah, sure. I guess."

Mike's POV

I knew there was something Ana wasn't telling me. The look on her face said it all. She was crying when I got into the car which was also a dead give away. We pulled into my driveway and I got out of the car. Ana stayed in on the other hand. I walked to her door and opened it. She didn't move she just looked down at her hands. I saw a tear drop from her eye and I sighed.

"Come on Ana. Let's go outback."

She nodded but said nothing. Slowly she got out of the passenger seat and as she did she almost fell. I put my arms out and caught her. She again didn't move. She stayed just how I caught her. I put my hand on her cheek and looked at her. Her silent tears were running down her cheeks. I smiled sadly at her and pulled her close for a hug. Her silent crying became loud and her breathing was very shaky. I held her for a few minutes before I pulled away. I kept an arm around her shoulders and lead her into the backyard. Her cries became less as we sat on the hammock in the backyard.

She wouldn't leave my side. If I moved a little she would move a little with me. I went to go get some drinks and she was right beside me. She held onto my arm as if it was her lifeline. When we got back outside I asked her what was the matter.

"Ana, you're acting like I'm the only thing keeping you here. What's going on?"

"N-nothing. I just want t-to, it's nothing."

"Why have you been crying all afternoon Ana?"

"Because I realized something and I realized it only when I was standing in front of him."

"What did you realize?"

"I realized that as much as I love Luke, I can't hurt him again."

"Why do you think you'll hurt him again?"

"Because what we did to him would be likely to happen again."

"Why do you say that?"

I didn't understand what she meant. We didn't do anything to him. It was my fault that we got to where we are. Ana had nothing to do with it. It was me and my hormones that caused all this drama. I'm the reason that Luke and I aren't friends at the moment. I'm the reason Liana and Luke aren't together. What I did to Ana and Luke would never happen again.

"It would happen again Mike. I know it would."

"Are you trying to say that I would do this to you again?"

"No. I'm saying that it would be more likely to happen again because of what else I realized today."

"What else did you realize?"

"I realized that me spending so much time with you has made me think differently of you."

"Differently how?"

"Differently as in I think you are a very sweet person. You care about your friends as if they were family. You try to make things work."

"I thought you already knew half that stuff?"

"I did. Now I know though that spending time with you over these last few weeks has made me closer to you."

"Closer how?"

I looked at her. Her eyes were filled with such care and wonder. I didn't know what happened until I pulled myself away from her. She kissed me. Why did she kiss me? Is that what she was trying to say? That's how we got closer? Then everything she's said clicked. She likes me. She knows that if she was with Luke he would get hurt because she likes me. She would always have this liking towards me because Luke hasn't been here to show her otherwise. She fell for me while I was trying to get her and Luke to work things out.

I pulled myself out of my thoughts to see Ana looking at me. She seemed confused and also scared. She must have thought I would have been mad or freaked out on her. I smiled at her and pulled her into a side hug. I kissed the top of her head and felt her smile against my chest. This girl needs to know just what I think, but for now she just needs someone to lean on.

A/N:

So I think this is it. I might make this the last chapter. I might make a sequel to it. I will most likely make a sequel to carry on with Mike and Ana. I hope you liked this story. :)
