Lucy (Cake)

12

Continuation-

11:05am-

after class i grabbed Luke by the wrist and stormed toward C Block.
it was the empty music block that no one used since Music wasn't all that big here.
i pushed Luke against the wall
i wanted to hit him
but i couldn't do it.

"Listen Calum, i know what you're gonna say-"

"I still love you" I say for the first time in my life.
I've been waiting to say this
I've always wanted to say this

"And it's totally fine if you don't want me arou- hold up what?"

"i said, i love you"

"come again?" Luke asks, his nostalgic blue eyes widening in disbelief.

"Whether your name is Lucy or Luke, that's not going to change the fact that i'm still god damn in love with you" I honestly didn't care if Luc- Luke was a boy, he couldn't help it but, "I want some answers"

he furrows his eyebrows and proceeds to nod.

"it's been almost 4 goddamn years Luke! You left, why?"

"i-i needed to get away"

"from me?" i cry

"no! from everything, i needed time to think!"

"you were 10 with no worries in the world!" i plea and his blue eyes darken.

"easy for you to say! you were a naïve little boy with the perfect family, me?" his words were venom. "not so much. i knew that i was different since i was 5 Calum! Five!" He raises his hand dramatically. "my dad didn't accept me, my mum no longer looked me in the eyes when that man walked out of our lives" this time it was me who was backed up against the wall. Luke was towering over me and it was only then that i had noticed how much he had grown.

"you know what the worst part is?" he asks, his voice low and despiteful.

"what?"

"No matter where I was, I couldn't stop thinking about you!" Luke shoved me against the wall, my head colliding with the hardened cement but his lips on mine made up for it.

It had been almost 4 years but all the lost time seemed to disappear. This right here; Luke's lips messily moulding with mine, his hands roaming, my hands doing the same. It felt right. Like we belonged. His smell was so familiar and before i knew it, i was in a fit of tears.

No longer kissing Luke but instead sat against the wall being cradled in his arms, letting out hysterical sobs, overwhelmed with happiness and relief.

I feel moisture fall upon my nose.
And on my arm.
And my forehead.

And then it starting raining.

And for the first time in a long time, i was finally

Happy.
