Beside You || lrh 2013 MAJOR EDITING

Pieces Of Us Both (Part 1) (Chapter 14)

•Luke's POV•

Sunday.

Two more days and we're leaving. The sad part is... Me and Stella have to break up. I don't want to, obviously. But I care for her so I have to.

I got my phone and texted her.

To: Stella👑

Hey babe! The sun's shining as pretty as you are! I love you! Meet me at the café downtown at 7 for coffee ❤ x

I wanted to be with her whenever I had spare time. My mum knows that so it's okay if we go out. Today, we're gonna hang out with each other. Like before. Like when we were best friends. I'll have to admit that I missed it when we were just friends. Nothing awkward, no jealousy and anything. But I'm happy that I'm with her now.

My phone dinged and it was from Stella.

From: Stella👑

Oh hey babe! Sure, are you there already? x

I texted her back.

To: Stella👑

I'm on my way. You should be too. x:)

I got up and changed my pajamas. I was in jeans, a band tee and some shoes. I grabbed my phone from my desk and headed out.

"Hey, Luke. Where are you going?" my brother, Ben, asked.

"I, uh... I'm meeting Stella at the café today," I said, shyly.

"Oh, yeah. You're leavi-"

"Yeah. I'll be going, okay?" I said, walking out of the house. I didn't want to hear a word about it for the moment.

I walked going downtown fast because I didn't want her to be waiting for so long.

•Stella's POV•

Luke wanted to see me at the café today. Oh I missed this. I remembered when I was feeling so lonely and it was the place where Luke and I would hang out... When we were still best friends.

I was in my brown shorts, a sweater and my high top converse outside the café waiting for Luke.

I was on my phone when I heard some footsteps approaching me. Thinking it was Luke, I looked up but saw three girls instead.

"Stella Mead, right?" the one in the middle said. She was blonde and wearing a short skirt and a collared shirt and some flat shoes.

"Uhh, yes? Do you need anything?" I asked, confused. How the hell did they know I was here? How the fuck did they know who I am?

"You better stay away from Luke," the redhead said on the blonde's right.

I scoffed. Oh I know where this is going. These bitches like Luke. For pete's sake. I don't want this. He's leaving like on Tuesday and these fucktards show up.

"Why should I stay away from him?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because you're flirting with him," the other blonde on my right said.

OH SURE. FLIRTING WITH MY OWN BOYFRIEND.

"I'm clearly not flirting with him," I said, crossing my arms against my chest.

"Oh yes you are," the blonde one in the middle said. "I saw you hugging and flirting with him the other day in the school grounds!"

She started to shout at me. Holy molly. This can't do.

"Girls, Luke is my boyfriend so-"

"What?!" they chorused, not even making me finish.

"Brianna! She said Luke's her boyfriend!" the redhead shouted at her.
