As soon as I got back to my flat, I chucked the keys into the bowl and laid onto my bed.

Stephanie Rose Holness, what have you got yourself into?

I didn't know what to do at this moment in time, I wasn't sure whether to call Luke, to have a shower and calm down, I couldn't do anything.

As I looked up to the ceiling, I saw out of the corner of my eye that my iPhone screen has lit up with a text from Luke. I rolled over to the side table and shuffled closer to the table, my fingertips pressing in my passcode and seeing the text come up.

Great.

Let the Luke rant text commence.

'Steph, please, I need to talk to you. I'm a fool, an idiot, and I know that. Hit me, slap me, punch me, do whatever you want to do to me! I just need to make you listen to me. I love you, and nothing can change that.

Please.

Love, Luke.'

I huffed a laugh to myself and chucked the phone back onto the table, a low and almost relieved sigh left my lips.

Shit.

What's wrong with me?!

I shouldn't be feeling this way. I should be with Luke, talking to him, holding him, leaning in close.... And letting fireworks explode in my head as his lips leant against mine.

I shouldn't be here, on my bed, like a complete loner.

And then, about ten minutes later, I heard the doorbell go off.

At this point in time, I wasn't really expecting or wanting any visitors right now.

If anything, I wanted to end it all.

But, I finally plucked up the courage, and pushed myself off the bed, huffing as the person was persistently knocking at the door. But as I got to the door, I noticed, not one. But two shadow figures standing outside of the door. My eyes widen slightly in either shock, or the fact that I was nearly shitting myself right now.

As I shuffle over to the door locks, I slowly undo them, one by one and finally let the door swing open, caused by the sudden gust of wind.

I look up to see the faces of the shadows, finally putting names to shadows.

Kerry. Luke.

Looking up to them, I see Kerry with a humongous frown on her forehead, I could've sworn she was about to burst a few veins, and a very apologetic looking Luke stood behind her, his face covered in those watery stains you get after alot of crying. In his hands were what I could make out to be some flowers and a mysterious looking box, with a perfectly wrapped bow, that showed he obviously put alot of time and effort into this.

While in the staring competition with them both, I finally found my voice.

"L-Luke... K-Kerry.... I-I need to be on my own, please...."

"No!" Luke and Kerry said in perfect unison before looking at each other, Kerry stepping forward and into my flat. "You need to listen to him. He's told me what's happened, and if you can, you should listen to him."

I step backwards and behind the door, my head peeking out the side and looking down, mumbling* "Fine... Come on in..." As soon as I say those words, I close my eyes as I look down to the floor, disappointed in my self and losing all concentration. But then, I felt a wave of guilt rush past me, I looked up at them both before shutting the door and leaning against it, looking up at the ceiling and taking a few deep breaths.

Let this Luke Rant Time (LRT for short) commence.
