5 Seconds Of Summer Imagines (ON HOLD)

Luke #5

For MaKenna :)

“I am so not doing this with you!” You snap, turning on your heel and making to storm out the door.

“Why the hell not?” Luke demands. “Because it’s true and you don’t want to admit it?”

“Jake is a great guy!” You shout, turning back to face him.

His face is angry, his blue eyes snapping with sparks of fury.

“He’s not the perfect guy you seem to think he is, MaKenna!” Luke yells. “I’m your best friend! He’s asking you to choose him over me!”

“Not forever! Just to spend more time with him! He’s my boyfriend after all! He deserves that!”

“Not if he’s being an untrustworthy jerk!”

“You’re being the jerk!”

“So you’re choosing two months of dating over seven years of friendship?”

“I’m not taking sides!”

“Don’t be stupid, MaKenna! You clearly are!”

You clench your fists. “If you’re gonna act like this then maybe I made the right decision.”

“He doesn’t deserve you.” Luke’s voice, so weary, makes you stop in your tracks.

“Why the hell not?”

“You’re too good for him.”

“Oh and I suppose you know someone better?” You say, sarcastically.

Luke nods.

“Enlighten me then.”

“Me.”

“You?” Your voice is incredulous and he flinches.

Well, crap.

“I shouldn’t have said anything.” Luke mumbles. His shoulders slump, all the anger vanished. “Forget I said anything.”

He pushes past you, out of his own den, and races up the stairs away from you.

You walk home in a daze, shocked at the new knowledge.

You’d been in love with Luke for the past few years, but Jake was the first guy who’d asked you out. After three years of Luke never showing any sign of wanting to break the friend-zone, you’d said yes.

But now it looked like you’d made the wrong decision.

Your phone vibrates in your pocket and you pull it out to see Jake’s number flashing on the screen.

The decision is made in an instant and you answer.

“Hey, babe, how’d it go? Wanna hang out later?” Jake asks.

“You were right, y’know, Jake.” You say. “I should be spending more time with my boyfriend.”

“I knew you’d see it my way, MaKenna.”

“So I’m breaking up with you because I’m in love with Luke. Have a nice life, Jake.”

You hang up, feeling satisfied. "Asshole."

Then you turn and run back to Luke’s house, smile apologetically at Liz for the interruption and race up to his bedroom and knock on the door.

“Go away.” Luke’s voice is muffled.

You go in anyway.

He glances at you and sighs. “What do you want, Mak?”

You smile shyly. “You sort of took me by surprise before.”

“I guessed.” His words are flat.

“I’m sorry that it came out like that. I didn’t mean it.” You take a deep breath. “Luke, I’ve loved you for three years and I only dated Jake because he was cute and you didn’t look like you were making a move.”

Luke stands up slowly and makes his way over to you. “What are you saying?”

A smile plays on your lips. “I broke up with Jake.”

A matching smile floods his face. “I’m in love with you.”

“I think we can arrange something.” You tease and he crushes his lips to yours.
