*Michael's point of view.*
I finally got bailey to agree to coming over. I made sure Luke was here, though. I honestly really want them to meet. I feel like they could help each other. I've had so much on my mind lately, and I haven't had much time to support either of them recently. I don't think they noticed though. Bailey doesn't acknowledge much unless it's about her school work. And Luke.. Well, he's Luke. I mean most girls like him, but he thinks he's trash. He does scream fuckboy, by the way he looks. I know it's rude to say about my best friend, but his 'bad boy' look with the lip piercing and quiffed hair and everything must make him attractive I guess. I don't kno-. Oh shit there was a knock at the door. Sure enough, Bailey was standing there, looking down at her shoes, and tugging at the rips on her black jeans.
"Come in princess." I teased her, making Bailey roll her eyes and walk in. I laughed to myself and she sat on the couch.
"Why did you invite me here, exactly Mike?"
"Because. I want you to meet someone." I simply stated and walked up to my room to get Luke.

*Bailey's point of view.*
Fuck, he must have only invited me here to meet Luke. Little fucker.. Didn't even tell me anyone else was at his house. Soon enough I heard a different Australian accent say something. I couldn't quite make out what he said because it was more in a groan than anything, and about 20 seconds later, I heard someone walking down the stairs. I looked at up to see Michael.. And Luke Hemmings. He was fine..
"Luke this is Bailey.. Bailey this is Luke." Michael said. Luke gave me a small wave, and I returned the favor. He looked fragile, like he could break easily. He looked lonely. And he also.. Well.. Looked adorable. I instantly stood up, and went for the door and stopping at the entrance/exit, grabbed the handle and said,
"It was u-uh nice meeting you Luke.. Good t-to see you Michael.. I-I should get going. Bye," I look down and start to walk out, then Michael grabs my arm before I can.
"You pulled this the first you came to my house and I made you stay for longer and you were completely fine after a bit. C'mon. You shouldn't be afraid to get to know someone else. He's not terrible, Luke's a good kid, Bai. Stay and get to know each other. Pleasee," he whined and pouted.. Leaving me with no choice but to sit down and well.. Talk to Luke, I guess. He was just so beautiful, too much for me to handle. No wonder every girl liked him. His smile was damned well perfect. Look, here I am, basically memorizing every single feature on his face. I'm so twisted..

*Luke's point of view.*
I just wanted to thank Michael over. And over. And over again. This was the girl at the coffee shop. This was the girl that caught my eye. The only girl that had caught my eye. I could tell she was broken just by the looks of her smile, it was soft, but crooked, and fake seeming. I wanted to fix her. Give her everything. I just want a chance to do that. It's obvious she doesn't have much interest in me, however. What am I doing? You met her today Luke, snap out of it! I need to get to know her better, gain her trust, and help her. She's just too beautiful to be this hurt.
