Just Friends || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 4 // Public Humiliation?

Luke -

I sat laughing with my 3 best friends at lunch, usual day. But I couldn't even keep my attention on the conversation, my mind was on Charlotte.
Just as I was thinking of her, she walked into the cafeteria with her lunch, she immediately looked over at our table and smiled, I smiled back. She was so beautiful, in her denim jeans and tank top.

"Hey guys." She smiled, taking a seat next to me.

"Hey Charlotte." They all said.

She pecked me on the cheek, and I tensed up.
Sure we had kissed, but not in public and in front of my friends.

"Ooo, are we missing something here?" Michael asked, smirking at me.

"What? No, it was just a friendly kiss." I quickly cover up. A bit too quick, and I see Charlotte, hurt in her eyes.

"Im uh, gonna go to the bathroom."

Charlotte stood up and walked started to walk away.

"Wait, Charlotte." I tried to stop her but she walked even faster.

I sat back into my seat and closed my eyes, as if it could stop the guilt.

{CHARLOTTES POV}

I looked into the bathroom mirror, there were tears forming in my eyes.
Was he embarrassed of me? Was he just using me for sex? No. I may have only known Luke for a few days but he is not the type of guy to hurt me like this, it just use me.

I turned and went into a stall and locked it, I put the toilet seat down and sat there, until the bell rung.

I walked out and saw the one thin. I didn't want to face right now. Luke.

He was waiting outside of the girls toilets, leaning on the wall opposite the bathroom door.

"Charlotte, Let me expl-" before he could get another word in I stopped him.

"It's fine, you don't had to. I get it you're embarrassed to be seen with me like that, and I am sorry for thinking that we had something."

"No, I'm not, I'm not embarrassed to be with you, it's just, I didn't think you wanted to be with me." He grabbed me arm to stop me from walking away.

"What do you think last night and the afternoon before that meant? Just a kiss? Or are you just trying to get into my pants?" I spat at him, I couldn't hear his voice again or I could crumble into a million pieces.

"Wai-" Luke started after me.

"No. Don't talk to me. Don't text me. Don't ever touch me again." My vision began to blur and my eyes welled with tears.
I ran, I don't even know where, I just ran. I came across another bathroom and went in quickly. Thank god the bell had rung or else people would've saw me. And I had public humiliation. One of my strongest hates.

I didn't even mean what I said, I wanted him to talk to me, text me and most of all touch me. I wanted to cuddle with him like last night.

I sobbed and wiped tears away, cried and wiped tears, over and over.

I walked out and noticed there was about 5 minutes of my class left and I decided not to go because they would notice I had been crying and there was no point.

I walked a little and heard sniffling sounds, I peeked around the corner, and saw Luke, leaning against the locker, eyes closed and his head tilted back.

"God, such an idiot!" He muttered, only loud enough for me to just hear.

"Luke," I came around the corner. His eyes shot open and he stumbled to stand up straight.

"I'm so sorry, I thought that you were embarrassed to be with me. Please tell me I'm wrong." I walk closer to him, noticing the dryer tear line down his cheek.

"Your so wrong! I lo- like you so much, I just wasn't expecting you to be that affectionate around the boys-" he rambled on and I shut him up by smashing my lips to his.

He was shocked at first then wrapped his arms to pull me closer.
His hands came up to my face and he tilted his head to deepen the kiss.
I thought of how he almost said 'love' and I adored how he respected me, cared about me and can always make me happy.

I loved Luke Hemmings.

After a minute we both pulled away, catching our breathe.

"Luke. I really lo-like you." I mocked him and smirked.

He laughed and went red. He looked back into my eyes and we stared for so long. Interrupted by the bell we both blinked and snapped out of our frozen gaze on each other.

"See you around, Hemmings." I winked and spun on my heels.

"Bye Charlotte." I could hear the smile in his voice.

God I loved him.
