A Janoskians Summer (Luke Brooks Fan Fiction)

Chapter 31: Car Park

*Cara POV:*

By the time I make it outside, Luke is halfway down the road. I begin to run after him, taking the biggest strides possible. My bare feet are hurting from hitting the gravel over and over, and I feel as though I can't stand much longer. There's no way I'm ever going to catch up with him at this point.

I let out a deep sigh as I come to a stop in the middle of the road. My stomach is beginning to ache and I can feel the corners of my eyes burn but I fight the tears back. There's no way I am going to cry again tonight. I can't cry. This can't be happening.

I slowly pace back to the house and I can't control my breathing. The only sound audible on the empty street is my feet slabbing against the asphalt. My heart races at the thought of Luke's anger and I feel as though I've crushed his heart. I feel horrible.

When I finally make my way back to the house, everyone is standing in the front yard, staring at me in disbelief. Marty attempts to approach me and put her hand on my shoulder, but I nudge her away.

"Cara-" Beau starts and takes a step forward but I stop him in mid sentence by striking my hand sharply across his face. Everyone stays silent.

I've had enough of Beau's shit. I don't care if he has feelings for me or not. He's the one that caused all of this mess.

"Don't talk." I growl and glare at him rubbing his red cheek as I push through everyone, trying to make my way back into the house and up to Marty's room. I can feel everyone's eyes on me as I walk through the wooden door but I don't care. I just need to get away from them.

When I get upstairs, I fall into Marty's bed and let the duvet swallow me. Finally, I can't take it anymore and I let the tears come out. They don't stop. They feel as if they're never going to stop. Of course, I had to go and screw things up. I somehow always do.

Suddenly, I gasp when I feel two cold hands rest on my back.

"Cara," I hear Erin start, "do you want to talk about it?" I just shake my head and attempt to sit myself up. My arms shake but I eventually manage to sit up straight. Marty and Erin both take a seat on the bed and watch me intensely when I reach for my phone and dial Luke's number.

After two rings I get his voicemail:

"Hey it's Luke. You know what to do! beeeep!"

Great. He ignored my call.

I sigh, trying to control my crazy breathing, but nothing seems to help. I rest my head in my hands and can't help but cry again. I can't believe this.

Is Luke mad at me?

It's not like I asked Beau to kiss me.

Is he done with me?

I wouldn't blame him if he was. The thought of me ruining my first relationship, with Luke, makes my heart ache.

I have to talk to him and explain myself. I need to let him know that I don't have feelings for Beau.

I have to find him.

I find my strength and push myself up from the bed, turning to my friends.

"I'll be back."

*Luke POV:*

I run down the road as fast as I can. I can feel myself getting worn out but I can't stop. I hear Cara yelling my name behind me but there's no way I'm going to stop for her now.

My heart is pounding; I can feel it practically hitting my chest. If james and Daniel wouldn't have pulled me back, i would have smashed Beau's head into the fucking house. theres no doubt in my mind. I would have smacked his skull against Marty's brick house continuously, until he cried out for mercy.
