Dance Dance

Dance, dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, dance
And these are the lives you love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up it's last call,
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

A/N: STILL THE SAME DAY!

*Luke's POV*

Calum had told me about a surprise party that him and the others were planning for tonight for my birthday but everyone has been is low spirits so I decided we would have tomorrow instead.

Sophie didn't tell me anything that happened between her and Calum, but judging by how upset they both were I'm guessing it was something personal to them both.

Sophie and I haven't talked since the rather passionate kiss this morning, I'm glad because I'm not sure my anxiety can handle it. Sophie has to go back for another check up tomorrow and I had offered to take her. It will give us a chance to talk. I'd like to see how she's been getting on. Whenever one of us cooked dinner we would make a regular plate for Sophie and leave it on the side for her. Ashton and Sophie made a deal: We make a plate of food and Sophie will eat what she can, when she can. She said it made her feel more comfortable.

I'm not entirely sure what I'd like to be to Sophie. If she wants to stay friends I'm all up for that but I'm 3 years older than her. I'm one of those people who is supportive of the age is just a number thing and that doesn't bother me but it may bother Ashton, on the other hand.

"What are you thinking about, Lukey?" Ash said as he came and sat next to me on my bed.

"Nothing." I lied. I didn't want him to find out yet, well I didn't want him to find out I had feelings for his daughter. I was just so confused.

"You know, you're cute when you're confused." He said, looking me straight in the eye.

"You think so?" I said, edging a tiny bit closer so that it looked like I wanted to be a part of this small conversation.

"I know so." He leaned in. I leaned in. Was I making a mistake? Less than 12 hours ago I was kissing the girl I really like and now I'm kissing her dad? I really need to get my feelings and emotions in check.

"Ash, no. I can't do this. I'm sorry, I just don't feel the same anymore." I pushed him away and stood up, pulling a shaky hand through my messy quiff.

My chest felt tight. I knew I wasn't alright. This was the start of another panic attack. I walked over to the wall and slid down it, my back leaning against it. I put my head between my knees and tried to slow my breathing before I passed out.

"Ash... Ash, c-come he-here." I managed to stutter. He instantly ran over my bed and sat in front of me.

"Oh, Lukey. Calm down, it's okay." He soothed. "Try and match your breathing to mine. In and out, please, Luke."

I tried to do that but it was no use. My breathing quickly intensified and I began to feel light headed.

"Luke, breathe. In and out." He was starting to get worried now. I just forgot how to breathe. Its almost as if my lungs were telling me that now is my time to go. I quickly snapped myself out of those horrid thoughts that I hadn't had for years and focused on my breathing.

I couldn't do it. My eyes started drooping and I fell forwards into the darkness.
