The Soulmate Program *editing* // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 16 [unedited]

The pov is all over the place, pls bear with me

"That's why I called, I uh, well I thought, um." he started to play with the bracelets that lined up on his wrist.

"You thought what?" I asked.

He took a deep breath, "What if you come on tour?"

Kay's pov

"Wha- what?" I asked. What I hearing this right? He wants me to come on tour?

"Come on tour, Kay? What's going to happen to us if you don't?" he asked.

I don't know what to think, how to feel, what to do. I can't drop everything for him.

"I don't know. Just leave all my friends to go on your tour, for your band?"

"No Kay, don't think like that. You'd come on tour for well, us." he chewed on his lip ring nervously.

"I don't know Luke. Can I have time to think about it?" I asked.

"As much time as you need. Well u-under a month but yo- you get it." he stuttered.

"I'll call you later, tell the boys I said bye." I told him.

"Okay, bye." he slightly smiled and I hung up.

Chrys followed behind Sienna who burst through the door, "Kay if you don't go on tour with that boy I will strangle you."

"Sienna calm your shit." I rolled my eyes. I wasn't surprised. I knew that they'd be eavesdropping.

"You have to go. You heard him! What's going to happen to you guys if you don't?" Chrys said.

"Yeah yeah, but I can't just drop everything!" I pointed out.

"What? Being hated on at school? Classwork? Stupid fucking parties? You won't be missing anything." Chrys has a good point.

"I don't even know what my parent will say." I said.

"Why would they say no? Either way you're 18, you can do whatever you'd like." Sienna said. They both had good points.

"You'll see tons of cities." Chrys said.

"You'll see them preform!" Sienna cheered.

"And you'll be a flaw if you don't go." Chrys said. My heart skipped a beat when she said that, and not in a good way.

There was a long moment of silence. My brain was clouded with thoughts and I had a nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Maybe they're right. I won't miss anything, I am 18, I'm probably going to have fun, I'll be able to see them preform live! And I'll be able to see them in person, I'll be able to see Luke.

"Well, I hope my parents are willing to enroll me online again." I smiled.

Luke's pov

"You guys can stop leaning on the door and come in." I said and all three of them sheepishly walked in.

"She'll say yes dude, and she'll come on tour, you'll fall in love, and then you'll get married and have hundreds beautiful babies." Ashton said.

"Whatever Ashton." I ran a hand through my hair, "what if it's, what if it's a flaw and she's not my soulmate?"

Michael's eyes widened like he looked like he just did something wrong but at this moment I chose to ignore it.

"She is, Luke look at your wrist, there's a heart on that wrist and that means your in love." Calum said

"Yeah, but she's not." I got up and left the room.

Michael's pov

I didn't say anything while they were talking. Luke looked terribly sad, I felt horrible.

I watched Luke leave the room and everything was silent. Calum and Ashton went to do whatever they do with their free time, Calum probably stalks that dog page he follows on Instagram and Ashton probably collects stamps or something.

They left the room and went into their own and I was left with my thoughts.

What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this?

I feel weird and I feel like I'm betraying my best friend. I don't know why I feel like this. I don't even know what I feel. It's just... Not right. What I'm thinking is not right.

I don't even have a reason to think these. The thoughts just pop up in my head sometimes. Like a reflex.

It's like when someone says something to you, and you spit out a comeback without thinking. But comebacks don't really compare to what I think.

What I think is cruel. Cruel to Luke. He's in love with her. She'll fall in love with him. They're soulmates.

I hope it's a flaw.

That's what I thought. That's what I thought when Luke said, "What if it's a flaw," and I felt horrible.

I sat on the bed and took the pen and paper left on the night table where you can write notes for the staff. I used it to write my thoughts from the first one, to now.

I hope she doesn't fall in love with him.
I hope he falls out of love.
He doesn't deserve her.
I hope she doesn't come on tour.
I hope it's a flaw.

I was finished, but my thought were racing, writing this made more thoughts. It's like I couldn't stop. One after another thoughts were thrown on the page until I ended with the last thought that revealed why I was thinking this.

I think they aren't meant to be.
I think she's pretty.
I think she's funny.
I think she's amazing.
I think I like her.

"Michael." I heard Calum's voice directly behind me, sneaky little shit.

I clutched the paper to my chest in fear. My heart was racing and my head was pounding. That can't be true. I can't like her, I can't do that to Luke, he's my best friend.

"He- hey Cal. What, what's up?" I said, my voice was shaky.

"What the fuck is that?"
