Left Behind

Chapter 8

*Three days later*

*Ring*

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey Sam!" Michael screams into the phone.

"Uh hey M-michael." I say.

"Well what are you doing right now?"

"Um, I'm in my room. Like I've been the past f-four days."

"You haven't been out of your room?"

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Something happened and Miss. Kraine locked us all in our r-rooms and said she wouldn't let us out until everything was cleared up d-downstairs."

"That sucks, has she brought you any food?"

"No."

"That's terrible, but remember we're going to be there hopefully in a week or so. Just last till then, 'kay?"

"Yeah, thank you so much Michael. I don't think I could last in here until I'm 18."

"Well you don't have too."

"Yeah, well I should get going so I can clean my room before Miss. Bitchy comes back up."

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow?"

"Yeah, tell everyone I said h-hi."

"Will do, bye Sam."

"Bye."

*End of phone call*

Luke's P.O.V.

          "I don't know Scarlet," 

"Well you need to figure it out Luke!" She screams. 

"Look I'm sorry I'm just not in the best shape right now babe!" I begin to tear up.

 "Well tell me when you are! I just can't live with this Luke! We've been together for 2 years now! You should be able to talk to me!" By now she's crying. 

"I just can't! It's nothing!" 

"Bullshit Luke! Tell me when you're ready to talk until then we're just done!" 

"Scar stop!" She's running out of the room and I grab her arm.

 "Let go of me Luke Hemmings!" She pulls out of my grip then leaves.

 "Luke why did Scarlet run out of th-" Ashton just stops and sits next to me. "What happened?" He asks. "Sh-she just broke up with me." I whisper. "Why?" "I don't fucking know Ashton!" I yell and run to get into my car and Ashton runs out of the house as well as Skyler. "Where are you going Luke?!" Sky screams while running out to the car. "I don't know!" I slam my hands onto the steering wheel and put my head on it. She gets into the car and hugs me while I sob. "I th-thought she l-loved me," I whisper in between sobs. "It'll be okay Luke, I promise. Maybe she just wasn't the one." "I just thought she was, we made plans to be together forever, she promised me she wouldn't leave me Sky." "That's her problem Luke, you will find someone that won't break that promise. You're a very handsome and funny guy, you will find someone." "I just don't know what I did wrong," I whisper. "It'll be okay Luke, why don't you just come inside?" "Just give me a minute alone?" "Sure, come over to my place when you're ready."

          "Okay, thank you Sky." She nods and then walks up to her house since it's only a couple houses down. I can't believe that was just 2 years down the drain. I feel like I should just call her and tell her why I wouldn't talk to her. The past few days I have been avoiding her. Not because I don't want to be with her but because my father died and I haven't been in the best shape to tell anyone but Ash, Michael, Cal, and Sky. I feel like if I would've told her that we would still be together. Why am I so stupid?! Why didn't I just tell her? I guess I'll just call her. It goes straight to voicemail, of course.

So I'm leaving a message.

"Hey... I know you hate me but I thought I would just go ahead and tell you why I wouldn't talk to you. Last week my father died and I haven't been in the best of shape. I guess I was just too sad to talk about it with you. I'm sorry that it had to end up like this. I should have just told you, I know that now. I'm just really sorry, Scarlette. There is one more thing I have to say and it's that I love you. Hopefully you'll forgive me sometime for being a dick. Until then, I guess I'll see you around? So yeah, bye..."

Skyler's P.O.V.

I just looked at the clock and it said 2:30 p.m. our flight leaves at 4:00 p.m. "Shit." I state. "What?" Luke asks. I have been comforting him since the breakup earlier and he seems to be doing fine. "Michael and I need to pack. We only have an hour until we need to be at the airport," 

"Oh, do you want me to go get Michael?" 

"Please if you would?" 

"Yeah no problem." 

"Thank you, tell him I'm changing and I'll be down in a minute to help."

Michael's P.O.V.

"Guys make sure that the house is clean and everything." Skyler says to the boys. "Okay, just go so you don't miss your flight," "Okay, bye guys!" Skyler shouts. "Bye." I state as Sky and I walk to the car. "Bye! Have a safe trip!" All three boys yell waving to us as we head out of the driveway.
