Usually when people sleep they look calm and peace full, like babies. this was not the case for Luke.

He lay of his side, knees tucked to his chest. He had his eyebrows scrunched up and he mumbled things I couldn't make out. Every once in a while his frown would get even deeper and he would move his arms and legs around like he was trying to get away from something, I figured he was getting nightmares.

I knew Luke always acted strong around everyone when really he was hurting on the inside, sometimes you could see it in his eyes and I wondered how no one had noticed it before, some other times the look of hurt in his eyes was replaced with joy, it was those times when he had a happy and carefree look to him when he looked like a five year old that just got a lollipop, it was like he could forget about everything and just be happy and I admired him for it.

I was awoken by my alarm going off like crazy to teenagers by my chemical romance. I groaned and rolled over to turn it off, then I heard a groan comming from the floor.

"Nice alarm" he mumbled in a groggy morning voice and I couldn't help but smile.

"Thanks"

"didn't think you were the emo type"

"My clothes are just as black as my soul how could you not notice?"

A loud laugh erupted from Luke and that made my smile get even bigger.

"How'd you sleep?"

"Meh, could've been better. You?"

"Same" I sat up and sighed looking around, not having any motivation at all to get up "we have to get ready to school"

"No"

"Come on" I groaned, I looked over to him and he was sprawled out on the air mattress with a cheek smushed against the pillow, his hair was messy and his feet stook out from the end of the bed. Fucking tree.

"What are you gonna wear?"

"I don't know" he sighed "I guess I can go home and get some clothes, I'll have to go back there soon anyways"

"No, I'm sure I can find you something"

"I have to go back anyways, don't worry they're not always mad"

"Are you sure you'll be alright?"

"Yeah, don't worry"

"Okay" I sighed "come on I'll drive you"

After I'd dropped Luke off I went back to my place to get ready, then I drove to school since he told me he was gonna drive himself.

I felt weird at school, noticing things about Luke I'd never paid attention to before, like how his eyes glistened with excitement when he talked, how his lips looked so kissable it took everything in me not to jump across the lunch table and slam my lips onto his, or how beautifully my name rolled off his lips making a weird feeling settle in my stomach.

What the fuck Hailey?

I always knew I was attracted to him but this felt...different, like it was beyond physical attraction and it had become something more. It was like after getting to know him, every side of him including the one he so desperately tried to hide from everyone else, I had taken a blindfold off of my eyes and been able to finally see the beauty in him and everything he did, even the smallest details seemed to have and effect on me.

"Hailey? Hailey!"

I blinked rapidly as Ashton snapped his finger in front of my face.

"I'm sorry what?"

"You zoned out for a while, is everything okay?" He said with genuine concern in his eyes. I looked about the table and all eyes were on me.

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah don't worry"

They all went back to their usual conversations exept for Lauren, she raised and eyebrow questioningly and I gave her a look saying I would tell her later which was enough to satisfy her.

After school I met Lauren after making sure Luke went home and didn't stay longer than he needed to.

"I think I might like Luke"

"And you didn't know that already?" She rolled her eyes.

"No Lauren, I mean like I like like him, everything he does seems to have an effect on me, everything about him seems perfect and every time I'm around him I get this weird feeling in my stomach...I think I might be falling for him" I whispered the last part.

"What?"

"I don't know" I buried my face in my hands.

"Oh my god Hailey" Lauren chuckled "you are so fucked"

"I know"
