15. Frustration

Jasmine's P.O.V

"MICHAEL YOU BETTER TELL ME RIGHT NOW" I said on the phone. So basically, I found out that last night Luke told Michael what has been up with him lately. Michael said he would tell me but now he's refusing to.

"I can't, it's for the best, trust me" he said.

"Michael I'm going to slap you, tell me" I demanded.

"Jasmine, I seriously can't" He whined.

"How come" I asked.

"It will ruin everything for you especially if you do something about it" he said. I was so confused.

"What are you talking about" I asked.

"Nothing, just.. It's something you have to find out yourself, sorry Jasmine" he said and hung up. What are they hiding from me.

I decided to actually call Luke myself.
After like 8 rings, he finally answered.

"Hello.." He said softly.

"Luke can we talk" I asked nicely.

"I can't, I'm really tired" He said.

"Luke, you've had plenty of sleep, now get your butt off your bed and meet me at Starbucks"I hung up. He was making me so annoyed lately by not letting me ask him questions and by ignoring me.

I changed from my Pjs to a sweatshirt and skinny jeans. I put on my white converse and took my car keys and drove to Starbucks.

Once I got there I saw Luke in the corner on his phone wearing black skinny jeans and a black shirt. He was also wearing a... BEANIE?! The last time I saw him Wear that was 3 years ago. I walked in and I saw him immediately look up.

I walked to the table he was sitting at and sat on the chair across from him.

"Hey" I sighed.

"Hey" he half smiled.

"What's been up with you lately, you've been acting.. Odd.. Or like your hiding something" I asked.

"Why is everyone saying that, how am I acting odd" he asked.

"Well you're wearing a beanie, I haven't seen you wear that in 3 years" I told him.

"it doesn't matter what I wear" He complained.

"Luke, there is something wrong and I know it" I said crossing my arms and leaning back on my chair.

"There's nothing wrong I swear" he said smiling.

"Well, are you finished the song?" I asked and he stopped smiling.

"Erm.." He said.

"See there is something wrong, does it have something to do with the song that's making you act like that" I asked.

"No.. Well.. I don't know" He looked away.

"You've been so distracted and emotional lately and I'm getting really worried" I said.

"Distracted? How am I distracted" he asked.

"You aren't even finished the song, you're never looking straight at me when you talk to me" I said.

"Look at me Luke" I demanded and he did.

"I actually... Am finished the song" he sighed.

"How is that a bad thing Luke, it's a good thing" I smiled.

"Yeah.. I guess" he looked away again.

"Is there something I should know about that's making you all gloomy" I asked.

"Um no.." He said.

"Well you're still acting weird Luke" I said.

"There is nothing" he said for Like the millionth time.

"Luke just tell me" I snapped.

"Jasmine just please stop forcing me" he demanded.

"I've been your best friend way longer than the guys have and you tell them, and your not going to tell me" I asked.

"It's not like that, it's just cause, I'm going to regret it and it's going to ruin everything" he said looking down.

"Luke, look at me when you talk to me, I need to know how it will ruin everything" I snapped.

"Jasmine, please, stop" he snapped. There was a moment of silence.

"Fine if you don't want me to help you with whatever is going on, can I at least ask you these few questions I've been waiting to get an answer for" I asked, having the courage to ask him.

"Not right now.. I have to go.. Do something" he said getting up. Now I was getting really frustrated that I can never ask these questions.

Why is he acting like that though. I really needed to know. I decided to call Calum.

"Calum hey, what's been up with Luke lately" I asked.

"Can't say" he said.

"Why are you all hiding it from me" I snapped.

"You'll find out.. Trust me" he said and hung up. All of this was making me really mad. So I called Ashton.

"Sup Ashton, can you please tell me what's been up with Luke lately, no one is telling me" I whined.

"No can do jazzy boo" he said and hung up. did he just call me.. Jazzy boo? What? Whatever. I needed to know what's been up with him. I'm starting to get really frustrated. With everything.

Luke's P.O.V

I got home feeling frustrated, why couldn't I just straight up tell her. Who cares if it might ruin everything. She needs to know how I feel.

I walked upstairs not knowing how I was feeling. I closed the door and took my acoustic guitar. I started to play a song that represents my feelings well.

"When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I'm fighting hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason" I sang.

I closed my eyes and I saw her. It was the first time I saw her in 3 years, She was just standing there staring at me in the crowd. Then the image changed to when Liam threw her onto the couch in our dressing room. Then to when we were at the recording studio. Then at the pizza place. Then at the amusement park on the roller coaster, I remember holding her tight as she started to cry into my chest. All I wanted to do right now is hold her.

I opened my eyes. I was so frustrated. I was so stupid. Why did I leave her 3 years ago. Why can't I just tell her how I feel. I'm so stupid.

I started to yell in frustration.

"What's going on" Leila came rushing into my room.

"Why did I leave her" I started to cry.

"Why did I go to the stupid university, we could've been together" I cried.

"Luke.. She's still here.. You can still get her" Leila said walking up to me and hugging me.

"That's not the point, I have a girl friend that I don't want, and sooner or later Jasmine is going to move on and I'm just stuck with Rebecca who is so annoying I want to push her into Ashton's drums" I cried. Why was I crying.

"Look.. If you really feel this way, leave Rebecca, go with what your heart tells you Luke" Leila smiled.

"But how am I supposed to get Jasmine to be mine?" I asked.

"Sing her the song you wrote for her, bring her to the recording studio and sing it" Leila encouraged me. That was the perfect idea.

"That's perfect" I smiled.

"And I'll be right there to support you when you do it" Leila smiled and I smiled back.
