Heartbreak Girl: Luke Hemmings

Chapter 9

\

Alex's POV =)

It's been a week since Luke called me a whore and I still don't want to forgive him.

I haven't done much in the last week, mostly just ignoring Luke and going on tumblr.

It's 9pm at night and Will is at Rosie's and Mum is away in Adelaide for work. Home alone. Yay.

I rolled out of bed and chucked on a loose white semi crop top which showed my hot pink lace bra(whoops), dark denim shorts, full black Vans and my glasses.

I had no make-up on and my hair was down and knotty. I grabbed my book, Looking For Alaska and went outside to my tree house which my Dad and Uncle Tim built for me.

I climbed up and sat on the mattress I had on there. There were fairy lights all around so I could see.

I always get lost in a book. None of my friends can and sometime they'll be over and I'll just start reading and not stop. I can read for hours on end and not get bored.

I was up to the bit were Lara and Miles were kissing when I started to cry. I don't even know why but I just did. I put my book down and stood up.

I started looking around at the photos on the wall, most of them being Luke and I.

When we were 5, on our first day of school. I was missing a front tooth and Luke being Luke was laughing at something funny.

When we were 6, at the beach. Luke had ice-cream on his nose and I was hugging him and grinning.

When we were 7 and we went camping. My hair in two braids and we both had mud and dirt all over us.

When we were 8 and we went trick or treating for the first time. We both went as Ninja Turtles, Luke being Leonardo and I was Mikey.

When we were 9, I had huge front teeth and I was smiling with my mouth closed and Luke had this huge grin on his face and his hair was so long over his face.

When we were 10 and I started to think Luke was cute. It was before the school disco and I had on this light pink dress and silver sandals, my hair curled. Luke had on a checkered top, black jeans and some Vans I think.

When we were 11 and I had broken my arm skateboarding down a huge hill. I was in hospital and Luke was sitting next to me laughing at something I had said.

When we were 12 and it was our first day of high school. I was a lot taller then Luke them because I grew a lot. My dress was too short and Luke's shirt was too big.

And then it stopped because I moved away and I forget all about this wall.

I slid down against the wall and bought my knees to my chest.

"Why do I always fuck things up, GOD DAMN IT!" I said yelling the last part.

And then I heard the strumming sound of a guitar.

I looked out the window to see Luke wearing his black penguin jumper, denim jeans and thongs. He looked like shit, like he hadn't slept in a week.

Then again, neither had I really.

"A drop in the ocean, a change in the weather I was praying that you and I might end up together" Luke began singing.

Holy shit this is one of my favourite songs. He looked up at me his blue eyes filled with sadness and regret.

I climbed down the ladder and Luke continued singing, to me.

I started to cry when I saw the sadness in his eyes.

Once he was finished I couldn't look at him, I know that I would start balling my eyes out.

"Alex please look at me" Luke pleaded. I heard him move closer to me.

"I can't" I said.

"Why not?" he asked, his voice filled with sadness.

"Because I will start crying". I heard Luke start crying again, I hate it so much when he cries. It breaks my heart.

He lifted my chin up and I opened my eyes. His face was pale and it looked like he hadn't slept for days.

"Alex I'm so sorry I didn't mean it, I was just jealous because because I really really like you" Luke said.

"You what?" I asked smiling a bit.

"I like you so much it hurts, whenever I see you I want to fall to my knees because you are so perfect, I need you so much it hurts" Luke said and I started crying.

"Oh my god Luke".

"What?" Luke asked with panic in his voice.

"Why didn't you tell me this ages ago?" I asked crying.

"I was going to tell you in year eight but then you left and I met Alison and I didn't know what to do". I grinned and rolled my eyes.

"You can't like me Luke".

"Why not?".

"I'm a mess" I said.

"But you are perfect to me".

"You aren't doing this out of pity?" I asked looking away.

"God damn it Alex, I've liked you for ages everyone knows except for you!".

I grinned and he pulled me into him.

"I'm so sorry" I said sobbing into his chest.

"What for?" Luke asked rubbing my back.

"Not telling you that I liked you as well".

Luke's POV =)

I broke out into a smile.

We both look terrible, tear stained cheeks, bags under our eyes and we aren't dressed the best either.

"And oh by the way, nice bra" I whispered in Alex's ear and she groaned.

"You suck Hemmings" she said letting go and we both climbed up into her tree house.

"So what does this make us?" I asked sitting down next to her.

"Friends with benefits" Alex said with a smirk and I rolled my eyes.

"Please be serious".

"I don't know Luke, you tell me". Oh god, I'm too awkward for this.

"I'm too awkward for this" I said.

"It's ok, I'm awkward too". I grinned and she rested her head on my shoulder.

"How about I take you on a date tomorrow night and I'll tell you then?" I suggested.

"That would be lovely" Alex said and she kissed my cheek.

"Alex?" I asked.

"Yeah?".

"Can we please still stay friends if this doesn't work out?" I asked.

"Of course we can".

"Promise?" I asked.

"I promise Luke" Alex said and she wrapped her small pinky around my big one.
