Best Friend's Boyfriend
Chapter 21

Luke's POV

I gulp as Jack takes a seat on my bed, concern etched upon his face.

"W-what?" I stammer.

"Lucas. I heard what you said. What do you mean?" Jack says softly but firmly.

"I-I didn't s-say anything," I say, averting my eyes.

"You're lying," Jack says gently. "You always look away and fiddle with your fingers."

I look at my fingers in surprise as I was unconsciously tapping them one by one.

"No-"

"Lucas Robert Hemmings," Jack reprimands, using my full name.

I bury my face in my hands. "I-I can't tell you, I'm sorry. I truly can't. Until I figure out my feelings," I say, sniffing slightly.

He thinks for a moment before getting up. I sigh in relief. He kisses my head and walks out.

"One of the maids- Viola, I think- will send up your food. If you need anything, just call me."

"I will," I promise. "As soon as I figure this out myself."

He nods and heads out.

Right. Now.

Here's the big question: Am I still in like with Michael or do I like...Ashton.

My mind reasonably tells me 'obviously you still like Michael, he's your boyfriend' but my heart argues stubbornly. 'You like Ashton' and I don't doubt it.

My eyes glance at my phone, and before I know it, my hands automatically pick the one family member who loves me and I trust to keep a secret. Someone who isn't too busy for me. Someone who doesn't care about how much money I have.

Grandma.

"Hello, dear?" A voice speaks through the phone.

"Grandma? It's Lucas..." I trail off, hating my stupidly awkward first name.

"Lucas, dear! I was hoping you would call, I just made some cookies. Would you like to come over and talk?"

"Thanks, Grammy, that would be great," I say honestly, getting up and running to the garage, where I take my car and quickly drive to her place.

"Let me guess- boyfriend drama?" She says as soon as I knock.

"How'd you know?" I ask, amazed.

"Honey, you'd never call me that urgently unless it was boy trouble. Now, spill."&

"Yes. Well, you see-"

I end up telling her everything. Everything about Ashton and how he's the most loveliest person ever but he's dating my brother, and I'm dating his best friend. It takes a good three hours, but I don't even realise the time as she even makes me a cup of hot chocolate.
