Guitar Strings || L.H.

15.

I walked down the hall with Luke and his friend Ashton. We were at school and it was lunch.

''Hey are you okay?" Ashton asked me, noticing my depressed expression.

''Yeah, I'm fine.'' I flashed him a weak smile.

''No your not. Something is bothering you.'' He stated. ''You seem.....down.''

''Just some friend problems.'' I sighed.

''Oh.'' Is all he said.

''So uh Luke, there is gonna be this sick party tonight and everyone's going. Are you?" Ashton changed the subject.

''Uh, I don't know man. Parties aren't my thing anymore.'' Luke said. ''And plus, I want to stay with reyna. She needs someone with her and I don't want to leave her alone. She is kinda sick.''

''Aw c'mon man. It'll be fun.'' Ashton tried getting Luke to go.

''Yeah Luke, just go I'll be fine.'' I said. ''Just don't do anything stupid.'' I laughed.

''Are you sure? I want to take care of you.'' He said intwining our fingers.

''Yeah just go. Have fun.'' I smiled for the first time today. He smiled and nodded.

''Okay.'' He said. Then the bell rang and we went our seperate ways. I went to art.

I walked into my class and sat down in my usual spot. I saw Angelina walk in last and she looked around the room noticing the only empty spot was right next to me. I looked down and she sighed sitting down.

As the teacher taught about the color wheel I doodled on my hand with a pen.

On my wrist I wrote over my fading scars; strength with a small heart next to it. On the palm of my hand under my thumb I put a cross. I remember how angelina and i used to do that. But not anymore.

I looked over at her and she was drawing on her self too. I saw that on her palm she put; lies.

I wanted to explain the truth to her, and let her not believe lies.

''Uh Angelina, I know you don't believe me but--'' I was cut of by the bell and everyone rushed out of the room except me and Angelina. ''I uh--you know what never mind. Its pointless.'' I said and she walked out. ''You won't believe me anyways.'' I mumbled walking out of the room and to my last class.

''Hey calum.'' I said as he walked into my apartment. It was 11:00 pm and Luke left about 30 minutes ago so I invited calum over. He doesn't like parties so he didn't go.

''Hey reyna.'' He said. ''Here.'' He threw a bag of Takis™ at me.

''Hey, you killed my face.'' I said rubbing my cheek.

''Oops.'' He said quietly. He seemed sad.

''What wrong cal?" I asked as we sat down in my living room.

''Uh nothing..'' he mumbled.

Calums POV

''Uh nothing..'' I mumbled to her. I didn't want to tell her. Michael would kill me if he found out.

''Are ya sure? You seem a little....sad.'' reyna double checked.

''I said Im fine.'' I snapped accidentally. I felt bad. She looked hurt. ''I'm sorry reyna. I didn't mean to say it like that. Its just,I can't tell you...''

''What? Why not? I'm your best friend.'' She said.

''Yeah but if I tell you then you will be pissed and Michael will kill me.'' I sighed.

''What? Michael? Why, what did he do?" She asked.

''I can't tell.'' I said simply.

''Please cal, tell me.'' She pleaded.

I gave in. ''Okay fine, but don't freak out and don't tell Michael I told you.'' I said and she nodded. ''Michael was cheating on Angelina.''

''What?!" Reyna freaked out.

''Don't tell.'' I said.

''I'm going to kill him.'' She got angry.

''Don't, you can't let Angelina find out. It will break her. She loves him reyna, please.'' I said.

''But--okay.'' She sighed. ''I'm still going to kill him.''

Soon calum left and I was sound asleep.

I woke up around 3:00 am to knocking on my door. I lazily got up. I was kinda scared because it was three am and someone was knocking on my door.

I slowly opened the door to see a very drunk Luke standing in front of me.

''Hiiiiiiiii.'' He dragged out.

''Luke what are you doing here?" I asked.

''I'm so tired. I wanna take a nap.'' He said walking into my apartment. I shut the door and found him laying on my bedroom floor.

''Luke, c'mon, get up.'' I laughed. ''I'll take you to your apartment c'mon.''

''Nooooo. I wanna sleep here.'' He slurred.

''No Luke I'm sick.'' I said.

''Please, reyna. I wanna stay with you.'' Luke whined.

''But-- okay Luke but get on the bed.'' I said. ''I don't want you to sleep on the hard floor.''

He got up and took of his shirt and skinny jeans leaving him in his boxers. I watched as he lyed down. (A/n that's sounds creepy...)

''C'mon reyna. Come lay down with me.'' He groaned. I laughed and lyed down next to him. He pulled me into his chest and Nuzzled his face in my neck. ''Goodnight, reyna.''

''Goodnight Luke.'' I said back.

''I love you reyna.'' He said.

''I love you more Lucas.'' I smiled.

''Thats impossible.'' He kissed my cheek.
