Teenagers • Punk Luke Hemmings

Chapter 29

RECAP

"Aria what happened?" Calum said holding me tight in his arms. I couldn't talk I just cried even harder. Calum walked me out of the cafeteria and into the hallway.

"Aria?" He questioned while hugging me.

"L-Luke and-" I was cut off by a girl giggling. Calum and I looked to where it was coming from. I wish we hadn't. We saw Nichole and Luke walking out of the girls bathroom. Both of them with their hair messed up.

Calum looked at me and all I could see was pity. And I lost it again. I started sobbing and I couldn't control it. Luke looked at me as soon as he heard crying. His face fell. He looked shocked. He got caught.

He started to run over to me and Calum, but before he could reach me I took off. I ran out off the school and all the way home.

I was heartbroken. Luke Hemmings, my "best friend", had officially broken me.

My brother was still at work when I got home so I was happy about that.

I went straight to my room and cried. I fell onto my bed and buried my face into a pillow. This hurt a lot. Way worse than when I thought he cheated on me with McKenna.

When I thought he cheated on me with McKenna I didn't catch him in the act. But this time I did, and every time I think about it I could feel my heart physically hurt.

I kept playing the scene back in my head. Hearing Nichole moaning his name. Both of them coming out of a bathroom with sex hair. It all hurt so much.

I thought he missed me as much as I missed him. I chuckled at that thought. Obviously he had Nichole to take his mind off of me.

I kept crying and crying, and I didn't know when or if I would stop.

I must have cried myself to sleep because soon I was being woken up by someone shaking me and calling my name.

I opened my eyes, which was very hard to do considering they were puffy and swollen from crying. I saw Calum in front of me. He engulfed me in a hug and I rested my head in the crook of his neck.

I thought I didn't have energy to cry any more but I was wrong. Soon I had soaked Calum's shirt with my tears.

"It hurts so much Calum." I said hugging him tighter. He held on to me tighter and started to stroke my hair.

"I know, Ar. I'm so sorry. You don't deserve any of this." Calum said still hugging me. I pulled myself together and pulled away from Calum. I noticed he had a cut on his cheek bone. What the fuck? I grabbed his hands and saw his knuckles busted. I gasped.

"Calum?!" I exclaimed. "Did you beat him up?" I asked shocked.

"Well yeah, you're like my little sister and he hurt you. I wasn't going to let him get away with it." He shrugged. I laughed and shook my head.

"Thank you Cal, but he's your best friend." I told him.

"Yeah well when my best friend is being a asshole I'm gonna straighten him up." Calum said flexing his muscles and puffing out his chest. I laughed and led him to the bathroom to clean up his cuts.

Calum barley had any marks on him besides the small cut on his cheek bone, but his knuckles were pretty bad. It made me think of how bad Luke looked. I bet he has Nichole cleaning him up. I need to stop thinking of him.

After I cleaned Calum's cuts we decided to just watch a movie and eat popcorn.

I eventually feel asleep once again with one person on my mind.
