Love Will Hurt//Luke

Alex

Joey POV

Today is the day Jack and i leave, hopefully permanently. I shoot out of my bed and slap on my skinny jeans and TØP shirt.

I shove all of my clothes in my suitcase and shoved on my all black vans. I ran out of the door and walked to the lobby where Luke is sitting.

Luke noticed me and immediately walked over to me. I hugged him so tightly I couldn't breathe.

"Today's the day. No more of this." Luke says while looking into my eyes. "Maybe." I say. He kisses my forehead and takes something out of his pocket.

"I got this for you." He says. It was my phone. "Oh thank god i was going fucking insane." I say. I unlock my phone and i see that i had 109 snap chats and 406 messages.

"Its time to go." Luke says. "Where's Jack." I ask. "He's staying here longer. His mom doesn't want him." Luke says. "Im not leaving without him. He's become more than my best friend he's basically the brother i never had." I say.

Luke sighs. "There's nothing we can do J. Im sorry. If you want you can say good bye? If that makes you feel better." He says. His crystal blue eyes now show sadness not happiness, like they usually do.

I swiftly walked away from Luke and made my way to Josh's dorm. I knocked on the door and there wasn't and answer.

I knocked again and still no answer. This time i opened the door and i saw a note.
To J,
Thank you for making the stay here better. Thank you for understanding me and understanding what its like to be completely alone. Im so sorry that I'm doing this but I cannot take it anymore. The life i live is horrible and I can't go on. My mother told me that she wished she never had me because im such a disappointment and im completely worthless. She also mentioned that she was sad when I didn't kill myself the first time. I've had this note for a while i just needed someone to address it to. By the time you read this im hovering above you, im heaven. Im sorry, by the way, to me, you were the sister i never had.

Josh.

No no no no nO NO!!! I rushed into the bathroom and i see Josh laying in the bathtub, in a formal outfit, hands crossed, and an open pill bottle on the edge of the tub.

"NO JOSH COME BACK SHIT HELP ME SOMEBODY COME HERE PLEASE" I shouted that as loud as i could and a few nurses come in and move me out of the way.

I see them examine Josh and the tears start pouring down my face. He's actually gone. The one person who understood me is fucking gone.

Luke comes in the room, wheeling his oxygen tank behind him. "Hey J. He's happy now. He's finally happy." Luke says while hugging me. 

"I want a formal funeral for Josh. In Sydney." I say, the tears are still draining out of my now, blood shot eyes.

"We'll do that. Let's go home okay. Your step-mum is outside and so is my mum. Let's go okay." He softly says. I look him directly in the eyes and i can tell that he notices how much I actually miss Josh.

He grabs my hand and pulls me to the entrance. This is the last place i will ever see Josh living, breathing, alive.

I slowly pry my eyes open and i see that im in my stepmoms Range Rover, Luke is next to me, and the moms are in the front.

I shut my eyes again and drift off asleep once more.

Luke POV

I can really tell how much Joey is struggling right now. Between her mind, body, and now the recent loss of her best friend.

I keep imagining that i would experience the same thing, but with Joey. The thought sickens me. I see Joey open her eyes and look around so I pretend to be asleep so i don't disturb her.

She closes her eyes once more and falls asleep. I need to come up with ideas for Josh's funeral.

Im thinking a huge arrangement of flowers, beautiful speeches from Joey, and maybe one or two of Josh's friends if he has any, and my band and i playing his favorite songs.

That sounds good. I type the thought into my iPhone reminders app and close my eyes.

We have about an hour to go till we're home so hopefully i can sleep it out.

Joey POV

Im awoken by my stepmom who's whispering for me to get up. The thought of Josh being dead haunts me but i snap out of those thoughts when I shoot up because i know that Alex is here.

I sprint out of the car and up to the front door. I shove the door open and see Luke, Mikey, Cal, and Ash all standing in a semi circle.

The drift apart and i see Alex's head and i sprint towards her.

"AHAHAAAAA ALEX OH MY GOD YOUR HERE WHAT???" I shout as we squeeze the life out of each other.

"OH MY GOD J BAE" Alex screamed. "WHAT THE FUCK IM JUST HAHAHDMXKWXW" I screamed.

Finally, once again we're re united.
