You (Luke hemmings) book 1

Chapter 5

Luke's P.O.V

God I need to find out how to save Macy. I can't fight Mark cause I aint that strong and he would probably kill me, but, I would die for Macy any day of the week. She means so much to me and I will do everything I can to protect her.

At the moment she is pissed at me. She's pissed because I told her we couldn't be friends secretly as that would cause her more physical pain with Mark. If she was in pain then so would I. I know that seems extreme but she just means a lot to me so don't judge. I remember how annoyed she was at my decision.

(Flashback)

Should I take the risk? And let her get hurt because I want to be more than a friend?

"Macy I .... I can't"

"What do you mean you can't? Luke I want to take that risk and be friends with you because I enjoy our time together. Don't you?" she frowns.

"No no that's what I mean. I love our time together, really, I do. I just don't want you to have to go through physical pain just to hang out with me. I'm not worth that much to anyone, especially you. I don't what you to lead to hate me because I want us to be friends and you have to lie and get hurt about it." By now the tears in her eyes have returned which brings a pang to my chest. I hate to see her like this.

"Is our friendship not worth fighting for Luke? Because that's the feelings I'm getting here."

"Macy you don't understand. I would take a bullet just so or friendship would stay intact, but I would never let you go through that pain of having to get hurt and fearing coming to school or leaving your house because of Mark and because of me." She shakes her head.

By now the tears were rolling down both our checks. It pained me to do this to her but she needs to be protected, and this is the only way to do so.

(Flashback over)

After that she left. Crying even harder than she was when I found her. I hurt her so much but I need to prevent her from doing something stupid just for me. I'm not the most important thing in her life and probably never will be. I just hope she is okay.

Macy's P.O.V

It's the weekend thank god, I won't have to try and avoid Mark. All week in school I sat by myself and payed that he didn't come over and thankfully he didn't. I would catch Luke sneaking glances at me but when I would look at him he would look away. I just wanted to see his eyes because I've missed them.

I am pissed at him for not trying to make our friendship work and not have Mark knowing about it. Mark hasn't contacted me all week and hopefully he will never again.

Just as my mind was continuing on what I should do with Luke my phone rings from my bed. I get up from my desk chair quickly as I'm hoping its Luke ringing. Sadly not, it's Mark. I click deny and go to go back to my desk when I phone rings again, and again it's Mark. This time I answer to see what the prick wants.

(Macy and Mark)

M=Hello?

M= Hey Macy why have you been avoiding me?

M= I don't know maybe it's the fact that you slapped me for no reason

M= Macy I'm sorry. I'm just trying to prevent you from doing something stupid and becoming the freaks friend. And besides you have me and all my friends.
