I remember years ago  

someone told me I should take  

Caution when it comes to love 

I did...

   The next day Luke came to see me at my room. It was Sunday and we didn't have any class to attend. My best friend Kayla was sitting on the floor with papers and books all over the place. So when I heard the knock on the door it was hard to cross the room to open. I tripped many times till I got to the door.  

   "Oh my god. Kayla you almost got me killed." I said and she laughed. I opened the door and I came face to face with Luke. I saw Kayla frown when she saw him so I got out of the room and closed the door behind me.

   "Hey." he said. "I'm sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have talked to you like that. It's just that..." he started but I cut him.

   "That you don't want to talk about it. I understand." I told him. I didn't want him to be mad at me or me to him but I had no intention to stop searching for what he wasn't telling me.

   "Really?" he said surprised. "Thanks." he said and leaned toward me and touched gently his lips to mine. It was a soft gentle kiss that unfortunately didn't last long. The butterflies danced inside my belly. I violently tried to make them leave. I didn't wanna feel like this about him when I was going to break up with him eventually. He moved away and I saw something in his eyes that I had never seen before but in seconds it was gone so I couldn't tell what was it or if I really saw it.  

   "Do you want to come again tonight at my room so we can continue watching that movie from yesterday?" he asked and I nodded yes. "Okay. I'll see you there at seven." He gave me one of his gorgeous genuine smiles that he lately started giving me and left.  

   When I stepped inside my room Kayla had cleaned the room from the mess she made with the books and was sitting on her bed. She turned to look at me when she heard the door. In her face was imprinted something I could not recognise.  

   "Angelica, come here." she said in a emotionless voice."I wanna talk to you." I was confused. had anything happened? What changed in some minutes? Or was it like this before but I hadn't noticed?

   "What is it?" I asked sitting next to her on the bed. She seemed like trying to find the words.

   "I wanted to ask you something. How long will you keep on doing that?" she asked.

   "Keep on doing what?" I asked still confused.

  "Keep on being in a relationship with Luke." she finally said and I finally understood. "You can't keep doing this." she continued. "You'll get yourself hurt. You must stop it now!" she said in a tone that made me think she wasn't just asking me to stop, she demanded me to stop. I didn't know why but that pissed me so much.

   "Is it really what this is all about? About me getting hurt? Or you're still in love with him and you don't want him or me be happy with each other?" I said with the anger running through my veins but I instantly regret it. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." I said trying to save it. Kayla stood up, looked at me with contempt and left through the door.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Many hours later Kayla hadn't returned. It was almost half past six. I couldn't wait for her anymore I had to go at Luke's. After some minutes I was right outside his door when I heard a voice that didn't belong to Luke. It was Ashton's. They talked about something that sound important.

   "How can I tell you if you have to tell her or not?" I heard Ashton say. "You didn't even tell me.I didn't even knew you had a specific reason for doing this." I heard Luke taking a deep breath.

   "Okay. I'll tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone." Luke said and he continued without waiting his answer or he might have nodded. "Everything started when I was six years old. I had an elder brother back then. He was many years older, twelve to be exact. We were very close and I loved him very much. Every girl he ever loved betrayed him but he never gave up on love. His last girlfriend was with him for over two years and they decided to get married, that was eight years ago, but she betrayed him as well and it was the worst of all. He found her having sex with his best friend and when he asked her why, she told him. She had a bet with his best friend that she would make him love her and before they got married she would break his heart. My brother couldn't take it , his own best friend and the girl he loved more than everything betrayed him. He came to our house, our parents were out, he searched for something in my fathers desk. I was there watching the scene. After some minutes he found what he was searching for, it was a gun. He pointed it at his head and told me 'I love you little brother. Listen my advise and take caution when it comes to love, don't let anyone get through your heart. Goodbye little brother.' Then he shoot him self in front of my eyes." he couldn't continue, his voice broke. After some minutes that no one could say anything he continued. "That's why I did all these things. I wanted to make them understand what they did to my brother. I wanted to save myself from having the same fate." After a minute of silence he said. "Angelica will be here soon. You should go."

   Ashton was probably shocked and didn't say anything. I was socked too . I hid because I didn't want Ashton to see me. They must not know I know everything. I should let Luke tell me when he wants to. I waited for Ashton to go. Tears were running down my face. Now I understood everything...
