You Can't Fix Everything

Luke

after running into Melanie i couldn't get Calum out of my mind no matter how hard i tried, i mean he has always been there but now it was worse and wherever i looked he was there. 

he was in my dreams as i slept, he was in the streets as i ran, he was in the park that we use to run into each other all the time in, he was in every face that i looked at.

but the worst part was that i never once tried to make it go away.

i miss him like crazy but obviously he doesn't feel the same so that's why i let Ashton and Louis set me up with one of their friends, i need to move on. so i'm currently trying on my fifth outfit cause i looked like a sac of potatoes in everything i tried on. i just decided to go with a pair of jeans and my trusty red flannel and quiffed my hair to its usual height and headed out to meet them at this restaurant. we were all going on a double date cause you know those are always so great.

as i headed into the restaurant after parking my car i spotted them at a table an walked up to them and this tall, broad shouldered brunette guy stood up and looked at me with a smile.

'hi i'm James.' he introduced as he shook my hand.

'Luke.' i replied taking a seat beside him.

'So James is an accountant.' Ashton said as he looked at me with a smile as if that was supposed to impress me.

'it's nothing too serious but what do you do?' he asked sipping his coke.

'i'm an art teacher at UA.' i said with a smile.

'art? that's interesting.' he said with a shrug and i just looked at him ready to say something when Ashton's leg kicked mine under the table as he shot me a glare.

after that little thing we ordered our food and started to eat. i had learned that James is an olny child, he loves his mother, and he doesn't like to chew with his mouth closed nor does he like anything art related.

'okay so like you really believe that art is a real profession?' he asked and i swear i was going to punch him in the face.

'yes i am, there were and are so many important artists, musicians, singers, poets, and writers who made huge strides and advances in the world that no one else could do so yes i do believe art and anything related is a 'real profession'.' i finished as i got up and walked to the bathroom to calm myself down before i killed him then and there,

'are you okay?' Louis asked as he walked into the bathroom.

' no, who does that guy even think he is trying to tell me that my job is any less than his.' i yelled but relaxed as someone walked in.

'i know and i'm sorry that i was the one who brought him.' he said sadly.

'it's okay i know that Ashton is just looking out for me but i think i should leave picking dates for myself.' i said with a chuckle and he agreed as we walked out.

'where's James?' i asked although i wished he'd leave and die somewhere.

'i told him to leave, it obviously wasn't working.' Ashton said and i sighed in relief taking a seat in front of the couple.

'that's a relief.' i said as i began to actually eat my food and not have to lose my appetite.

throughout the whole diner both Ashton and Luis looked so happy and looked like they wanted to say something but would stop themselves every time they did.

'okay, what's going on with you two?' i asked setting my fork down and looked up at the annoyingly happy couple.

'well we were gonna wait till we were certain but, we're adopting a baby!' they yelled with joy.

'oh my god! that's amazing congrats!' i screamed in joy as we all got up and hugged each other like crazy.

'nothing is finalized yet but we've been working on adopting for awhile now and it all seems to be going all as planned.' Ashton said with so much happiness and love in his voice.

'well, i am so excited for you guys. here's to new adventures.' i  said as we cheered and toasted our glasses.

it seems that everyone has everything they could imagine and they are all so happy and believe me when i say that i am happy for everyone but it just sucks cause i'm not, i'm all alone and have no one.

i only have myself.
