Best Friends Forever

Chapter 12- Forgive?

The way back to shore was a very fast paddling awkward few minutes, to be honest I felt like getting out and swimming back. I really don't know how these next two nights will even turn out. Luke hadn't spoke to me since he freaked out, told me to explain and "make it good." After my reasoning he didn't have anything to say, and surprisingly neither did I. All I wanted to do at this moment while I was now sitting on the beach was talk to Josh. I knew that if I did, it wouldn't only make things worse, but what did I have to loose? Am I right?

"Hey Josh." I said trying not to punch him.

"Ray!" He smiled at me.

"So what do you get out of this anyways?" I questioned, trying my best not to loose my shit.

"Hmm?" Josh gave me a weird look as if he had no idea what I was talking about.

"You know what I'm about to get too? What are you trying to prove? Like is ruining peoples friendship ur hobby? Is this what you do in your spare time?" I asked.

"Oh hun, we all know you have the biggest crush on me, its ok to deny it. Otherwise you wouldn't have kissed me while you were already in a relationship. That was kind of a dick move there, eh?" He replied in a cocky bad boy kind of voice.

"Thats bullshit, and you know it! So tell me anyways why?" i yelled, trying my best to hold back tears.

"I have no idea what your talking about right now. I'm trying to get a tan id appreciate it if you'd let me get to that, doll."

I'm seriously going to kill him. I couldn't handle it anymore. I made my way back to my beach bag shaking off my towel and throwing it over my shoulder. I grabbed my keys and threw them at Colby who was tanning.

"Im calling an uber, not feeling all that well you boys can drive my Jeep back to the hotel bye." I called out to Colby as I went to the parking lot to wait for an uber.

I got to my room and dropped everything to plop on the bed. The same Luke had done when he first arrived. I was still in my bikini. I didn't even bother putting any clothes on when I left the beach all I knew is I had to get out of there. To the right was my suitcase, my sketch book sticking out in the corner so I hauled it out and onto the bed. As I started doodling random things like flowers, people, and weird squiggles, I started to overthink what just happened. Tears started forming in my eyes, then one little drop dripped on my book, then another. Closing the book I lid on the bed crying more and more. I couldn't stop, it was just all coming at once. The fear of loosing Luke, Josh hurting me like that. How could he not believe me?

Then I heard a knock at the door. Quickly wiping the tears off my face and sobering up, I went over and opened the door to find Luke. We both had nothing to say to each other, so I just turned around and continued to the bed. Luke took me spun me around and hugged me, surprisingly i hugged him back for a long, long time.

"Im so sorry Ray, I didn't know what to think, I was so upset and angry that I thought there was only one side to the story. I should've listened to you in the first place. Im terribly sorry Ray, i cant loose you. Please forgive me? He practically begged.

"Luke your not going to loose me." I couldn't help but giggle a little. "And yes i forgive you. Have you been talking to Josh?"

Maybe that was an inappropriate question for right now.

"Yes and it doesn't matter because he wouldn't admit he's lying. I trust you and you only. Our friendship is probably over but I don't care he's the new kid in the neighbourhood that I became friends with recently. You're the gorgeous best friend and girlfriend that I have known for most of my life obviously you win!" He said, a huge smile covered his face.

My mood went from 0-100 real quick, this made me incredibly happy at the fact that he picked to believe me over Josh even though I was telling the truth all along anyways.

"Now get dressed, put on something nice and come on." He demanded.

"What? You don't like my bikini?" I said smirking evilly.

"Of course I love love love your bikini!" He winked. "But its not really the best choice for going out to dinner." Luke laughed.

I laughed too bringing my suitcase with my essentials to the bathroom with me. I grabbed a cute lack and white chevron printed crop top with a black skirt, and pink flip flops. Then applied mascara brushing my hair while brushing me teeth and heading out. When I got back into our room Luke was sitting on the bed playing his phone when he looked up at me and a smile spread across his face.

"Your freaking gorgeous." He complimented me.

"Thanks bro! Now hurry up loser, don't want to be late for dinner with the three musketeers now do we?" I said laughing at my own joke.

"Alright alright."

Luke came out of the bathroom five minutes later with khaki pants and a red blue and black flannel in his hand. His shirtless body was pretty hot, but why is he not wearing a shirt?

"You gonna finish getting dressed or?" I joked.

He realized he wasn't wearing a shirt and slipped his flannel on.

"Wow i really am that stressed out, i forgot to put a shirt on." I just laughed at how weird he was.

Later that night after we finished eating out at a really cool restaurant. It was Hawaiian themed. With really delicious food, we all came back to mine and Luke's suite, and just hung around for a few hours with alcoholic beverages that Trevor was able to hook us up with. Thank God, because i needed something to cheer me up after this long day.

"Bro I'm pretty tired, imma go to my room." Trevor announced to us.

"Yeah man, me too." Colby said, getting up from the couch. Josh followed them out as well without saying a word.

About five minutes after they left and I finished scrolling down my Twitter feed I decided to change into my pjs. So I did right there in front of Luke. No big deal.

"Woah, bro a warning next Time please!" Luke said as he sized me up.

I just laughed shaking my head at him.

"I'm going to sleep now. Big day tomorrow!" I hinted. He had no idea what crazy idea I had in store for tomorrow.

"I'm really am sorry Ray." He randomly burst out.

"I know, I know. I forgave you and we moved on already, it's over with." I reassured him.

"Yeah, I guess." He pretty much mumbled.

I lid down on my side of the bed making sure to turn over and give Luke. We just kind of stared into each others eyes for a few seconds. His eyes were a gorgeous popping green kind of colour, with a brown outline.

"Is this a staring contest?" Luke joked.

"No I was just enjoying my view." I laughed sarcastically.

He reached his hand over to the top of my head running his hand to the bottom of my hair. Then running playing with it. He was so cute, everything he did was adorable. I loved it when he played with my hair. I felt my almost eyes closing shut, I was falling asleep.

The last thing i felt was his toned body pushing towards mine and his arm wrap around my waist. Then I fell asleep.

Authors note: Omg don't you just love Luke and Rayna they cant stay mad at each other. Literal relationship goals. To cute! And cliche? I don't even care still cute. Lol I really hate Josh though. Seems like he toned his trouble causing down a little eh? Haha thanks for reading I really enjoyed writing this chapter. Also one last thing. There may be a few errors because I typed this chapter on the keyboard. I went over it making sure there weren't any errors, but if you found some while reading I apologize in advance.
