Forgetting You. [Luke Hemmings]

Chapter 14

Brooke's POV

"Nothing I didn't expect..."I say with a fake smile

As I drive off, I want to scream. So I do. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Why did I say I would come? God damnit! I'm so mad at him. This is NOT Luke Hemmings. He is not my best friend. He's someone else.

I get home and slam the door shut. "I'm such an IDIOT." I say

Why did I stay with him? Oh right. He told me not to leave. THAT was the Luke I knew and love. It was like part of him was there and the other part was some jerk. Some Jackass. Why does he make me so confused?

I mean why was up with that whole "Ashton thing" in the car. The old Luke would never EVER say that kind of shit to me. If we were close I'd understand but he has no right especially since we're not friends.

"Why are you an idiot?" My mom asks as she comes out of the kitchen

"Nothing. Liz just wants us to go over for dinner." I sigh

"Liz?! What? I haven't seen her in awhile. Yes! We have to go see her." My mom urges

"Okay. 7 o'clock." I said

I went up to my room and called Cassie since she was my only friend. My only GIRL friend that is.

"Hello?"

"Can you please come over?" I ask

"What?! Why? What happened?!" She asks frantically

"It about Luke."

"I'm on my way." She says and hangs up

20 minutes later Cassie is at my door. After explaining everything she rubs her temple.

"Brooke, I have know idea what's going on with him." Cass says

"Well you are his best friend. Tell me what happened to him?" I ask

"Look, I met him when he was already like this. I'm used to it." She says with sympathy

"How are you friends with him? He's such a douche." I say

*ding dong*

"Don't worry it's probably Ms. Gerald. She comes every week to talk to my mom."

She sighs. "That's not entirely true. Brooke, he only acts that way when he's with his friends or when he has alcohol in his system. But, when it's just the two of us, he's not. He's sweet and protective and he's not a jerk. AT ALL."

I look at her. "Or when he's around you. He's not a jerk. He doesn't mean to be at least. I guess he knows that the guy you miss is still there but he's scared to show it." She explains

"But why? Is he mad at me still? Does he hate me?! I said I was sorry. I'd give anything to take back that day if I knew he'd turn out like this!" I cry

"Shhhhh. Brooke don't cry. Please don't cry." Cass reassures me

"I just want my best friend back." I whisper

"I know." She bites her lip. "I know."

Luke's POV

"But why? Is he mad at me still? Does he hate me?! I said I was sorry. I'd give anything to take back that day if I knew he'd turn out like this!" I hear Brooke cry

I step away from the door. Oh my god. She's crying. She never cries. I made her cry. How could I do that? I run down the stairs.

"Luke! Where are you going?" Brooke's mom asks

"I forgot I had a practice today. I didn't get to say hi to Brooke but it's okay. I'll see her tonight." I smile fakely

"Alright Hun, I'll bake your favorite cookies tonight." She smiles

"Thank you. Bye." I give her a hug and run out.

Please don't hate me Brooke. I'm just lost.
