Hey L.A., We're Going To Set This World On Fire

He's Back

Jai POV

I told Michelle how last night Luke got out of there shared room and walked out the door without a goodbye.  I remembered it like it happened a few seconds ago.  I entered the shared room and plopped down on my bed. Luke just got down speaking to Michelle on Skype. He closed his laptop shut, something he never does. 

Luke got up from were he was sitting. Grabbed his phone and walked out the door. Mum wasn't home at the time so she couldn't yell at him to get back into the house.  Beau was gone too. He was over at Natasha's house. I immediately called Beau and asked him if he was noticing if Luke was acting strange lately.

"No. Not really. He didn't sleep all last night and the night before," Beau said.

"Luke got up after talking to Michelle and left out the door," I said.

"Speaking of Michelle. She is coming back tomorrow," Beau replied.

"Shit! Don't tell Natasha what happened to Luke!" I said.

"Who is that on the phone?" I heard Natasha say on the other side of the phone.

"Oh um just Jai. He wants to know if I can pick him up donuts later," Beau said.

"Donuts?" Natasha asked.

"He likes his midnight snacks," Beau told her.  

After that I hung up and said that I was gonna call 911. When I called they said that i can not file a missing person case because it has not been 24 hours.  They said that this usually happens with young teens when they have to blow off steam from a stressful day.   

By the time I was done explaining the story to Michelle she was sitting down with tears rolling down her cheeks. I hated seeing girls cry. Especially when it came to my best friend and to Hailey. Especially towards Hailey. I sort of forgot that she was there. She was silently crying in the corner of the table. She was sitting on the chair with her knee's folded up against her chest. I wanted to cuddle with her but I knew it wouldn't be appropriate with Michelle sitting there.

What feels like an hour passed and we were just sitting at the table waiting for the 24 hours to pass to call the cops again when all of a sudden Michelle stood up and ran out the door.   

Michelle POV

I stared out the window looking at nothing in particular.  I was so confused on my feelings towards Luke. He was so sweet to me and he could always make me laugh no matter what.  All of a sudden a figure comes out of no were in the window and is walking towards to Jai's house. I stood up recognizing that it was Luke.  I ran out the door angry and relieved. I ran to Luke stopping about a foot from him.  My anger burst out and I slapped him.  

"How come you left the day I was coming back!? I told Natasha to tell you guys that I'm coming! I CAME BACK FOR YOU!" I was in full on rage.

 That was when i felt his arm around my lower back, pulling me into him.  He planted a kiss on my lips and my stomach erupted in butterflies.  I slowly melted into Luke as I kissed him back. We finally pulled away from each other.

"I'm sorry," Luke whispered into my ear.

I walked Luke back into the house. We all sat down at the table. Luke told us about why he left.  He said that he was failing his summer school and needed extra time in the day to get all the work done. He told us about these pills he has been getting from someone to get more hours in the day. He put his new pill bottle on top of the dining room table.  

Hailey POV

When i saw the pill bottle that Luke put on top of the table  I got up, took the bottle, and took it to the bathroom.  I opened the pill bottle and dumped out all the pills into the toilet. I then flushed the toilet several times making sure all the pills went down. I then went back to the dining table and threw the pill bottle on top of the table and re-took the same position that I was in before.
