"Luke just cut the bull shit and tell me what the hell happened."

"Well," he said hesitating. "You see this would be better explained over skype."

"Okay hold on a second," I said feeling my heart race thinking of what could of happened. He could of cheated. There could be something wrong with Michael. What if there was something wrong with Michael?

I started a video call with Luke, and he soon picked up. I hung up my phone as I saw the blonde haired boy that I was hopelessly in love with.

"Okay now tell me what happened," I said feeling frustrated as he tried to beat around the bush.

"So you know how I told you that the whole Arzaylea thing was just management right?"

'Yea," I said sounding weary. I was afraid of where this was going.

"So I guess she got the wrong idea, and she tried to make a move on me. She tried kissing me, and she caught me off guard. She kissed me," he said causing my heart to fall. I could feel tears brimming my water line.

"But did you kiss her back?" I asked my voice cracking at the end.

"Elle," he sighed and his face. All it took was that face to tell me the truth. He did kiss her back. I instantly pressed the red end button and I felt my heart fall, break, and crumble onto the ground.

I spent a good twenty to thirty minutes sitting in that chair not moving. My phone was repeatedly going off, but I didn't answer it. I've had enough with him. First his excuse was management, then it was that she had feelings he didn't have back. But if he didn't have feelings for her why did he kiss her back?

I couldn't handle the stress of him being so far away, and every girl on the planet wanting him to be theirs. There's just no way I can deal with it all. I had to end it for my health, and for my sake. It was all just to much for me.

Me: I'm sorry Luke that this is over text but I just can't handle seeing or hearing your dumb ass right now. Every day since the whole Arzaylea thing even surfaced all I could think about was if you were actually cheating on me or not. Whether you had gotten feelings for someone else other than me. I've been too stressed out lately, and I think that some time apart would do us well. It wouldn't only do my health better, but it would help you connect better with the boys. Maybe Michael and you could connect even more now. I'm sorry but this is just the way it has to be..... Maybe in two months we could resurface the thought of us being back together... If I forgive you by then...

I knew there were some parts of the paragraph that were sarcastic or mean, but lets face it the boy deserved it.He knew better than to cheat, yet he still did it. He kissed her back, and made the conscious decision to break my trust a second time.

I was done with Luke, I was done with him constantly doing things behind my back, and I had no way of knowing.

I got up and started my way down the stairs. As I hit the bottom I saw Liz.

"Well he's finally gone and done it," I said my voice cracking. " He kissed her. And now I'm not dating your son because I'm dumb and just broke up with him."

"You're not dumb and I don't blame you. The next time I see Luke the first thing he's going to get from me is a slap," she said. "You're practically already a daughter of mine, and I am not going to let Luke ruin your guys' relationship."

"I know but you know every day all I could think about was if he had cheated on me or not," I admitted. " I wonder if Lily and Cal are still together?"

"They probably are because at least Calum has some decency,"

"That's true," I said.

"I'm really disappointed in Luke right now,"Liz said. "But I still want you to know that you're still welcome here okay hun?"

"Okay,"

In two months, when I was supposed to go see Luke, I'm going to see Michael and not Luke. I don't know what compelled Luke to do what he did, but he did it and the fact that he was cheating was stressing me out beyond point of return. I guess I just can't handle a long distance relationship with a rock star.
