11.) What Is Going On?

Airica's P.O.V


Luke and I rushed out of the shower and got dressed, before we walked out of his room, but I stayed in the hallway and told him to go ahead and talk to her. I wanna hear it, but I don't want her to know I'm here. I'm sure that would effect what she wants to talk about.

"Okay. I'm ready to talk now, but answer this question first. How in the blue fuck did you get in my house?" Luke asked Candice as he walked into his living room.

"I climbed in through your bedroom window. That's how Airica and I used to get sneak in nd out f her house. But please come sit down. I really need to figure out what's going on here." Candice said.

I heard some shuffling so I guess Luke walked out and sat on the couch next to her, and Ididn't hear anything else for a little while.

"Okay, did Airica tell you about her feelings for me?" Candice asked.

"Yeah, she came to my house that night and cried her eyes out. You could have let her down a little easier instead of making it sound like your whole friendship was just a fraud." Luke said, sticking up for me.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you think it was? I can't get her out of my head now, and I can't talk to her about it. I doubt she would answer me, and Alex told me I can't see or talk to her anymore." Candice said.

"No she probably wouldn't answer you. You pretty much broke her heart Candice." Luke said.

"I know that Luke. I came here to tell you something about her that I knew I could trust you with. No one else but you and I can know. Got it?" Candice said, and didn't hear a response, other then Candice sigh so I'm gonna assume he just nodded.

"The only reason I acted like that is because I like her too. I think I love her just like she loves me, but I love Alex. I have no idea what to do. If I tell him he will kill me and her, and I already hurt her enough. I don't want anything to happen to her. I think I have done enough." Candice said. I felt my heart drop, and my eyes got really big.

"Well, I'm sorry to say this Candice but I think you are telling this to the wrong guy. I mean, yeah your secret is safe with me, but I don't have a clue how to help you. What you said to her really fucked her up. Her mom gave up on helping her through it, because she does nothing but cry." Luke said, and I heard Candice let out another sigh.

"I didn't think you would be able to help me, I just want you to keep an eye on her ya know? Make sure she is okay after what I did." Candice said, and I didn't wanna hear anymore of the conversation so I tiptoed back to Luke's room.

"I don't think she will ever be okay, until you tell her the truth, or she finds someone to make her forget about you." Luke said, and I think he was talking about himself.

Maybe Luke is really in this relationship for real. Maybe it isn't just the sex to him.

"Please Luke. Please keep her safe." Candice said as Luke walked her to te front door, and they passed by the room.

"I wouldn't dream of doing anything different." He said as he closed the door behind her. I heard him shuffle back towards the bedroom.

He walked in and gave me a sad look, closing the bedroom door before walking over and sitting silent on the bed. I just stared at him, waiting for him to say something.

But he didn't.

"Luke? Are you okay?" I asked him.

"Not really. She said she loved you. It's only a matter of time before you go to her and leave me. I know I said this was all about helping you find out your sexuality, but you just have a way of making me fall for you. Over, and over again. I'm scared she's gonna take you away from me." Luke said, and his voice was sad, and cracking like he was crying.

"Luke, she lost her chance. I'm with you now. All I was waiting for was those words to come out of your mouth." I said, and he turned to look at me tears in his eyes.

"What words? That I'm falling for you?" Luke asked me.

"Yes, because I think I have been falling for you since day one."
