Strong Love (Janoskians Fan Fiction)

Chapter 13

Alex's POV

I woke to the sound of my phone vibrating on the bedside table, I darted up to grab it before it woke up Luke. The called I.D said 'Sam', of course it did. "What?" I heard an intake of breath on the other end and a light chuckle "That's no way to greet someone Alex" I rolled my eyes, unknown to him and I left the bedroom and went into the kitchen, closing the door to make sure Luke could definently not here this conversation "What do you want Sam?" I whisper shouted still a little grumpy from my lack of sleep. Stupid nightmares. "I was just checking if our deal had taken effect yet?" I slouched back on the counter "No, and I'm not sure if it will anymore" There was another chuckle on the other end "You will do it, I know you want me back" I rolled my eyes once again "No. I'm only agreeing to this to keep Luke and his brothers safe" "I thought he only had two brothers? The rest are just his friends living in that house" My heart stopped for a split second and my body stiffened "How do you know that?" "I do my research, I told you I have changed since you left and I have but maybe just not for the better" I could picture his smirk, the smirk I used to look forward to seeing. What am I saying? I never looked forward to seeing him "Well, I'm going back to bed so stop calling me" I told him irritated "I can see it already" I scoffed in disgust before ending the call and slamming the phone on the counter, just as I did so I got a text from Hank.

*Long time no speak, we stayed longer than expected. I'll be opening up the shop again next week so you'll start back again on Saturday* I sighed thankfully, I was needing the money.

*Thanks for letting me know* I replied letting him know I got the text.

Just then the door opened and a sleepy looking Luke appeared yawning and running his hand through his unruly hair "What's the plan today?" He asked me groggily, kissing my cheek on the way past. Well first on the agenda is getting you out the house so you don't break anything when I break your heart. My subconcious said involuntarily. Thanks. "How about we go to the beach?" He nodded while scratching his head, he's lucky he's attractive in the morning aswell. "When?" I turned to look at him but he was standing right beside me "Now" I said quickly and ran off to the bedroom to get ready "See you in a minute then" Luke called after me. I put on white shorts with studs on the pockets and frayed at the bottom and a Mickey Mouse tank top that came just below my belly button and grey converse. I put on my usual eyeliner and mascara, some lip balm. I began straightening my hair "Ready yet?" I called through to Luke from the bedroom. He walked in still in his sweats "Does it look like it? You aren't ready either" I rose and eyebrow "This won't take long" He motioned to himself "Neither will this" He told me and within 2 minutes he had on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts then contained his hair in a snapback "See, and you're only half way done" He was right but I rolled my eyes anyway, it was kind of an automatic thing now. 

We walked to the end of the pier and I realised how hard this was going to be and had to keep telling myself it was for the best "Are you okay?" Luke brought his head down to my level which wasn't much of a dip, I bit my cheek and nodded "I just need to talk to you" His brows furrowed together and I sat on the edge of the pier letting my feet dangle above the water, Luke hesitated for a minute but then joined me "Are you sure everything is okay?" Why me? Why him?! Why did I have to meet him and agree to go to bloody McDonalds. I shook my head this time "Luke this is hard for me to say" I brought his hand in mine and started playing with his finger tips "I'm breaking up with you" His hand stiffened and I could already feel the tension. Why was I so blunt? My mouth became its own person and spoke before I could think. "Why?" I can't tell him why, just think on your feet Alex. Anything. "Did I do something?" Why aren't you taking Alex? Speak! It's easy! "No Luke, it's not you, your perfect, it's me. I'm not perfect. I'm not the 'girl of your dreams' you need someone you can depend on and I'm not that girl" I hadn't faced him yet and I couldn't bring myself to do it either "You are perfect, you are the girl of my dreams" He was speaking fast, almost inaudible. I shook my head letting a tear drop from my face "I was going to do it sooner but I didn't want to ruin the premier" He snatched his hand away from me and stood up quickly, I copied him and we were both facing each other, I could tell he was trying not to cry "No, you mean you used me for the 'fame' or whatever you want to call it! You knew you would be in magazines after this and that was all you wanted!" He shouted, hurt clear in his voice "You know that's not true Luke!" He put his hands behind his head and tears began to fall from his eyes "I don't know what's true anymore, just tell me why" I shook my head not holding back the tears anymore "I can't" I spoke in a whisper "What do you mean you can't? I loved you Alex and you go throw it back in my face!" He was still shouting and the tears were falling hard. The guilt was eating away at my insides "I love you too Luke!" I was the one shouting this time. I never told him that before and when I did tell him it didn't matter anymore "No, you don't, you used me to get money, fame and god knows what else!" He had his fists balled up at his side "You don't believe that do you?! You know I wouldn't do that! I hardly even knew who you were when we met! I'm doing this to protect you Luke, I don't want to and never planned on hurting you!" I was shouting again and he took a deep breath before turning and storming off "Where are you going?" I shouted after him. I didn't want it to end like this. With him making assumptions about me, he was just hurt. I hope. "Home, you don't want me anymore" I sighed and dropped to my knees and sat there pathetically crying my eyes out. My phone rang and that oh so familiar name showed up on the caller I.D "What now?" I asked through gritted teeth. "Nice work, meet me back at your place. Babe" I winced at his pet name. He hung up and I put my phone back into my pocket before composing myself and walking back up the pier. I caught the bus as I didn't bring my car or headphones so I didn't fancy walking home. I sat on the bus staring at a wall in front of me, lost in my thoughts when I was nudged by an old woman next to me "This your stop dear?" I nodded "Thanks" I was speaking in barely a whisper and got off the bus. Sam was leaning against a black jeep when I got to my building "Good to see you again" He slung his arm over my shoulders "Don't touch me" I warned him, acid in my voice. He held his hands up in surrender and followed me to my apartment, I didn't have the energy to fight him away so I just left him to it as he closed the door behind him.
