Not So Best Friends

Chapter 9

    *Luke's P.O.V.*

   "Grow up Hemmings, making out with someone isn't gonna get you anywhere. You'll only get a bed and consequences." Those words kept echoing in my head as I sat in Gwen's bed. Why are we like this now. Why do we fight like this now? She never finished saying "I don't know how I..." How you what?

   I walked down stairs to see everyone staring at me. "What?" I questioned rubbing my eyes. "You didn't hear me yell shit?" Michael said confused. "I did." I responded, I didn't know why though. "What happened with you and Gwen?" Elisabeth added. I scratched the back of my neck and looked at her with a frown, "We got into another fight." We turned to face Gwen while she walks down the stairs. She was wearing shorts and a nirvana shirt. Her hair was in a messy bun. God she looked beautiful. Wait I mean she looks Hot. No I mean. Oh my fuck I meant she looks comfortable, totally.

   She walked past me and sat next to Calum. Calum out his arm over her while she snuggled her head into his chest. I felt my cheeks get hot. "Luke are you okay? Your cheeks are red." Calum said pointing his two fingers at them. "Um yea." I walked into the kitchen. Was I mad? Was I mad that Calum and Gwen were close to each other. I grabbed a water bottle and ran back upstairs. This time into Mrs. Hemmings room since she's not going to be home tonight. I laid on the bed and sighed. I don't know what's going on with me. I start staring at the ceiling and fell asleep.

*1 hour later*

   I woke up from my phone going off.
(Text from Erin)

Erin~ hey baby ik we saw each other earlier but i miss u. And wanted to say goodnight <3
Me~ I miss you too baby. Good night :)

   I got up put my hands through my hair. I yawned. I looked at my phone it was 9:45pm. I gently closed my door. I went down to the kitchen to get another water bottle. I turned the light on and jumped. "What the heck." I whispered. Gwen was siting at the table drinking coffee. "Hi." She whispered. I waved.

   I grabbed my water bottle and sat down at the table across from her. "I'm sorry..." I said. "I'm sorry too." She responded. "Question." She said. "Go head." I spoke. "Before you went upstairs why were you so red when you saw Calum put his arm around me?" She asked. Oh lord. "I don't ..." I trailed off. "Luke yes you do. I know you do because you never say I don't know to a question unless you speak to fast and don't think." She said. It was silent for about 2 minutes as we sipped out drinks. "Fine. I got m...mad that Calum put his arm around you." I said looking down playing with the water bottle cap.   "You weren't mad.... You were jealoussssssss." She said smiling. I looked up and smiled, "sure whatever." I huffed a laugh. "Now you admit you were jealous of me and Erin." I smirked. She nodded her head, her smile turned into a frown.

   "I wasn't jealous..." She trailed off, "Luke I think I... I..." She paused as we see August come into the kitchen. "Sorry I'm just getting a water bottle and then going back to the couch." She whispered.

   She left the room and I looked at Gwen. "Continued?" I said questioning. "I think I like you Lucas..." She said. Huh? She, she likes me? "Oh" I said. I didn't know what else to say. "I know I'm crazy I'm just gonna go back to bed." She got up and walked away before I could say anything else. 

   I went upstairs and went to bed. I couldn't really fall asleep at first because I kept thinking about her. She likes me. My best friend that liked me when we were younger, likes me again. Wow. I don't know what to do. I'm dating Erin. But I was jealous of Gwen and Calum. I also called her beautiful and hot. Ugh what the hell is going up with my head. I need to go to bed. I turned on music and slowly fell asleep.
