Six Feet Under the Stars [5SOS]

Luke's p.o.v.

"Okay babe," she said, turning away from the coffee table. "It's your turn."

"I told you, I'm not doing it." I told her gruffly. "I don't like the person you become when you do that. I don't like the fact that you're so hooked you have to do it in my apartment and risk getting me in trouble. I don't like that now you're trying to talk me into it."

"C'mon it's just a little coke. Don't be such a pussy."

Tears stung in my eyes, there was no way I was going to do it.

"No!" I protested, tears leaking from my eyes and streaming down my face. "I think you should leave."

"Oh so you're crying now? What a baby." she said, climbing into my lap trying to pin me down. "I think I know what'll convince you."

I felt her lips on my neck and her hands starting to unbutton my skinny jeans. "No, stop it." I said, "Please..."

"No stop!" I shouted, sitting up in bed, sweat dripping down my face. Well, sweat and tears. I took a second to take in what was going on. I was in my bed, at my apartment, she wasn't there. It was all just a dream.

I heard footsteps running down the hall, tears continued to pour out of my eyes.

Not again... I thought. What's wrong with me?

"Luke?" Michael asked as he opened my door and stepped into my bedroom. He sat on the side of my bed and handed me some tissues. "Another nightmare?"

I nodded. "Do you mind asking which time it was?" he asked.

"The first time she..." I trailed off, he nodded to show he knew what I meant. He pulled me close, letting me sob into his chest.
"I'm s-sorry." I said, trying not to get his shirt wet.
"Hey, look at me." He said, I looked up at him. "You have nothing to be sorry for, you haven't done anything wrong."
I nodded, "Can you stay with me until I fall asleep..?"
"How about I just stay in here all night? That way if you wake up again I can calm you down?" He suggested.
It sounded like a good idea, after all there at been nights where I had more than one nightmare.
"Yeah, stay."
I laid back down and settled under the covers, feeling Michael join me and wrap one arm around me, using the other to rub my bare back.
"You're safe now, don't worry." He cooed, "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."
I focused on the rubbing feeling on my back, and drifted off.

Liam's p.o.v.
"Liam," Connor said as he walked into my room, "It's almost noon, I think it's time to get up."
"Go to hell." I said, burying my self further under the plaid duvet of my bed.
"C'mon," he whined, "We can actually go do something today."
"Like what?" I asked, turning around to face him.
"Well if you get up, we can go get Starbucks and see what there is to do."
"Fine, fine." I said, pulling myself out of bed.
"I'm gonna leave you to get dressed." He said, walking out of my bedroom, and shutting the door.
I got out of bed, opened my closet, and looked through my clothes. My red Hurley shirt and Neff snapback seemed to be a good fit for the day, I wouldn't have to comb my hair, and the two matched. I pulled my shirt, black skinny jeans, socks, and all black converse on. I ran a hand through my hair before I placed my hat on backwards.
Connor knocked on my door, "Ready do go?"
"Yeah, let's go." I said, opening the door.
********************************************
"Is there anywhere to sit?" I asked Connor, mocha frappuccino in hand.
"Um..." He trailed off, looking around, "I don't think so."
"Well fuck." I said, sighing, "I guess we have to go walk around."
We walked to the door, ready to leave, when a voice stopped us.
"Hey do you need a place to sit?" A guy asked, "You can sit with us, if you want."
"Well thanks." Connor said, sitting. He was a little more outgoing than I was, I hesitated to sit.
"Are you gonna sit, Li?" He asked.
"Oh yeah sorry" I said, sitting next to him, across from a boy with his head down in his crossed arms.
The guy across from Connor had bleach blond hair and green eyes. The other had naturally dirty blonde hair, that was about all I could see of him.
"I'm Michael," one said, smiling, and nudging the other, "This is Luke."
"Right," Luke said, sitting up and rubbing his face. His eyes where a gorgeous blue, almost the same as mine, it was obvious he hadn't had much sleep the night before. "That's me."
"I'm Liam," I said shyly, "This is Connor."
"I really love your shirt, Michael." Connor said, trying to start a conversation.
"So," Luke said, "Are you from around here?"
I tried not to giggle at his question, "No I'm from South Carolina, I moved here about a month ago for college. What about you?"
"I'm from Sydney, I live here because it's easier for work."
"Yeah I figured you're Australian." I said, laughing a bit.
I had no idea, but I was onto something great.
