Sucker- A Luke Brooks Fan Fiction

1-"We weren't even friends, we were best friends."

"Hey there, faggot." Fred hollered as I walked pass him in the school halls, hugging my books close to my chest. Usually if Luke was here, he'd defend me. But he wasn't. I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him in a week. He's been avoiding me.

It hurt so much to know that your best friend, your life, doesn't want to see you anymore. He's the closest person in my life. My mum doesn't give two shits about me. She barely notices that I'm at home. And Luke always cheers me up and when I tell him nobody loves me, he grabs my hands and says "I love you."

My thoughts were interrupted by my body smacking the solid polished school ground. Fred had pushed me and because I was so deep in my thoughts, I was really easily pushed. I cursed my mind for not making me stronger.

Fred held his foot on my back, holding me down while his two friends screamed of laughter. I didn't see what was so funny. "I said, hey there faggot." Fred spat before roughly lifting his foot off my back and kicking me hard in the ribs.

I got up once they were out of sight and picked up all my books which were splattered all around the ground. Once I had them in my arms I ran to class. Knowing what Mrs Dutchell, my English teacher, would do if I was late. Again.

The rest of my classes dragged on, I got beaten up my Fred again, and I got detention for talking back to the teacher when she asked me why I wasn't listening. As you can see, I'm not the brightest person.

I began walking the route I always did after school, except without Luke by my side, chatting away and telling me the stupidest jokes ever. My whole body ached in bruises by Fred as I turned to my street and finally, the building. I found Jai in the elevator, and just before I was going to run over to him, he quickly pressed the button, making the elevator close.

Why did he do that? Didn't he like me too? I don't get why they all hate me suddenly. I feel like complete shit. I sighed as I opened my apartment door. I closed it behind me to see my mum passed out on the couch, beer bottles surrounding her. 

I walked over to her and began to clean up her surroundings, grabbing the bottles of beer and throwing them into the bin. I then grabbed a frozen pizza and threw it in the oven, and grabbed my phone.

One new message from: Luke<3

 My heart began to beat faster. Luke messaged me. His first message to me in a week. I opened it quickly.

Hey Harmony, I'm sorry for avoiding you these days. It's just, something really bad happened and I'm sorry but I don't think we can be friends anymore.

I looked at the message in shock. Luke doesn't want to be friends anymore. We weren't even friends. We were best friends. I quickly tried to call him a couple of times, but he didn't answer. So I messaged him with my shaking fingers. 

What!? Luke, please tell me you're lying. You can't just throw away what we had! Luke! Please! :'(

Tears streamed down my face and I let out a sob. I ran into my room and jumped onto my bed, crying into my pillow. I lost my best friend. My biggest fear was confirmed: loosing the most important person in my life. What was I going to do without Luke?

(A/N: Sorry this is a short chapter, just kind of setting everything.)
