Hurt.

24.

There I sat in my bedroom, looking at Luke who didn't speak a word to me. I knew he was crushed since I was deciding to stay in New York, but there was part of me who didn't wanna stay here. My new family was in Australia. I felt so welcome in Melbourne, everyone loved me there and I wasn't judged for the person I am. Luke sat on the bean bag chair, away from me and I was trying to think of what to say to him. I couldn't spit out the words. 

I walked over to Luke, sitting on his lap and kissed him softly. He didn't seem to react to the kiss and I frowned. Pulling back, I looked at him and he didn't make eye contact with me, which made me worried.

"Luke.." I said to him as I stroked his cheek with my thumb. Luke looked up at me with an upset expression upon his face.

"You're staying here, and I'm going home, without you.." Luke said, his voice cracking as he teared up. I had never seen him this upset. I hugged him tightly, rubbing his back gently. Luke sniffled and shook his head. "You're coming back to Melbourne with me, you live there now.. It's your family..Not here." He said as I looked at him.

I sighed, nodding. "Luke, I have family here too! My mom lives here, my sisters, my cousins, my grandparents. The only family I have out in Australia is my dad, my cousins, and my dad's sister...I wanna go there, but I miss my family out here."

Luke shook his head, showing anger in his eyes. "That's why we came here, isn't it? We came out here to visit your family!" He frowned. "Then we were gonna go back to Australia together, as a couple. Not solo." He said, and shook his head again.

I could tell Luke was hurt about this situation, obviously I was just caring about myself and I didn't even realize it. I was being selfish, and not even thinking about my other family. 

"I'm sorry, Luke..." He moved me off his lap and grabbed his suitcase, slamming it down on my bed.

"Don't even fucking bother to apologize. You don't care about anyone but yourself. Never anyone else, always Andrea this, Andrea that. Don't even care that I'm upset that you're gonna stay here and you're the only fucking person I talk to!" He raised his voice, causing me to jump. I teared up, shaking my head.

"You don't realize how hard it is, Luke." I said, and he stopped me by stepping in front of me.

"What don't I understand? What? Do you still love this dick, Noah? Not loving me anymore? Since you only love yourself?" He shook his head, zipping up his suitcase and walked out of my room. I started to cry at this point, realizing I was just messing everything up for us. I was only thinking about myself and I wasn't even taking other people's thoughts into mind. 

I grabbed Luke's wrist and turned him towards me. "Luke, please.." I begged to him. "Don't leave me, please.. I'm sorry and I realize I should be thinking about others. I'm selfish, okay?" I choked out and he just looked at me. "I dont want to stay here, okay? I wanna go home, I wanna go to my home in Melbourne. I wanna be with you. I wanna be with my family out there.." I cried harder, shaking my head. "P-please.." I stuttered. Luke dropped his suitcase, looking at me, and crashed his lips against mine. I closed my eyes, kissing him back. Our lips moved in sync and I pulled back slowly and looked up at him.

"I love you, Drea.." He said quietly, wiping the tears from under my eyes. I sniffled and nodded, smiling slightly. "Are you gonna get your stuff together? We're going home." He said and I smiled more as he walked with me back in my room and helped me pack to go back to the place I now called home.
