Over Again (Baker Boy Sequel) Book 3

Chapter 26

Maedbh’s POV

“I saw the video, if you really want another chance, maybe we can try again,” he says and I want to scream. Seriously? He thinks this is about him?

“God you really are an idiot aren’t you,” I say in exasperation. I don’t know why I thought dating him would ever be a good idea. He was an ass. He was presumptuous. To think that my roughest moments were while I was dating him? What rough moments did I have with him? “It wasn’t for you Luke, it was for Harry,” His expression instantly changes from a confident smirk to a look of anger.

“Him? Seriously? Why does everyone like him? He’s not important. Never was in school. People only talked to him because he was my friend. I’m the one who’s important,” he explodes.

“No Luke! You just liked to think you were! That’s why everyone liked him. He was a genuine person. He didn’t think he was some super important person. He was just a nice guy. Maybe if you hadn’t had your head up your ass the whole time, you’d have learned something from him. How to be a decent human being.”

“You know what? This was stupid. I can’t believe I even considered getting back together with you,” he spits as if I was the one who’d come to him. “I’m leaving. Don’t expect me to come back.” He adds, throwing open the door.

“Fine. Go. If I ever see you again it’ll be too soon,” I shout as he storms down the hall.

“Well that was dramatic,” Katie muses as I slam the door shut.

“Why didn’t you ever tell me he was an entitled prick?” I huff.

“I did,” she chuckles. “Multiple times. You just thought you were right like you always do,” she teases.

“Well remind me to listen to you next time,” I grumble as I take my place back at my desk. I had tons of homework to catch up on once I’d arrived back on campus and I had been about half way through when Luke had shown up at our flat. She lets out a laugh and shakes her head.

“I’m going to bed, try not to stay up too late.”

I give an absentminded nod as I return my concentration back to my work and she disappears into her room. When midnight rolls around, I begin yawning as I lose focus on my work. Homework was tiresome. I’m just about to turn in for the night when a knocking on the door causes me to jump. A rush of anger fills me, thinking that Luke had come back.

“God dammit. I thought I told you—“ I hiss as I throw open the door, trying to keep my voice down so I don’t wake up Katie. I freeze when I see who’s in front of me. My heart rate jumps and my mouth forms an ‘O’ as I lose the ability to talk.

“Hey,” he says quietly.

“You’re here,” I manage to squeak. My pulse was racing with nerves. Was he here for a good reason or bad? Was he forgiving me?

“I heard your song. Or should I say my song?” he asks with a partial smile. “It really was awful.”

“I know,” I say a tight knot in my stomach. Why couldn’t he just get to the point as to why he was here? “I’ve had plenty of people telling me so on twitter.

“Well it made me realize something,” he says with a shrug causing my heart to flutter. “I never played you the song I wrote.” I’m confused for a moment before I remember what he had said a few weeks ago. That he’d written me a song.

“So you came all the way here to play me the song? How did you even know I was at school?”

“I didn’t,” he admits. “I went by the hospital first but you weren’t there. Your uncle told me you were back at school and then I came.”

“You drove all the way home and then all the way here to play me a song?” I ask in surprise.

“It’s been a long day of driving,” he says with a grimace. I almost smile, but I’m too nervous as to what’s going on to find anything funny.

“So am I going to get to hear it?” I ask after a moment of silence.

“Oh yea,” he says jolting into action and pulling his phone from his pocket. He fumbles with it for a moment before music begins playing, turning the volume fully up so I can hear it.

 

Now you were standing there right in front of me
I hold on it's getting harder to breathe
All of a sudden these lights are blinding me
I never noticed how bright they would be

I saw in the corner there is a photograph
No doubt in my mind it's a picture of you
It lies there alone in its bed of broken glass
This bed was never made for two

I'll keep my eyes wide open
I'll keep my arms wide open

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

I promised one day that I'd bring you back a star
I caught one and it burned a hole in my hand oh
Seems like these days I watch you from afar
Just trying to make you understand
I'll keep my eyes wide open yeah

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone
Don't let me
Don't let me go

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of feeling alone

Don't let me
Don't let me go
'Cause I'm tired of sleeping alone

He doesn’t sing along as it plays. It’s just the recording. I’m so focused on the words that I couldn’t even tell you if it had a good melody or not. I’m too intent on hoping I don’t get the message wrong. I can scarcely believe what I’m hearing and I don’t want to get my hopes up without confirmation.

“Is this what I think it means?” I ask, my heart pounding in my chest.

“It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight” he quotes and my heart swells in my chest. He chuckles when I break out into a stupid grin, completely losing the ability to move or speak. “C’mere,” he says with a smirk, grabbing my waist and pulling me into him and pressing his lips to mine.
