Memories

Ivy's POV

Hanging out with Calum made me happy and forget about everything that had been stressing me out recently. He brought Michael along today too I'd only hung out with Michael once or twice since I moved here so I was excited to get to know him more.

I lay in bed that night and thought about who Michael reminded me of then I realised he reminded me of Luke. Just how happy he was as he spoke about music a massive grin stretched across his face . It was obvious how engrossed in music he could get, He spent 15 whole minutes talking about his favourite song and the intricate details of the making of the song.

Luke had always played the guitar and sang since I'd known him. He would just be walking around a shop and a song he knew would come on and he'd sing along quietly in a beautiful tone.

I used to love hearing him sing, but he would never sing in school. He was always too scared of criticism from our judgemental peers he was afraid that Jack and the arseholes would make fun of him

"They'd all laugh at me, Ivy. Your the only person who can hear me sing" He'd said when I suggested he entered the annual school talent show

"Your not as unpopular as you think you are you know" I told him

"What do you mean?"

"Oh please. Do not tell me you don't notice the girls staring at you in every class" He shook his head and I just groaned annoyed at how oblivious he could be.

Michael seemed shy too, Calum told me on our way home about how Michael had been bullied before and that people had said he had a weak voice "It really cut him up you know?" Calum said I nodded "Yeah I bet it did" I said "He doesn't have a weak voice, he has an awesome voice. We jam out together a lot at his house or mine. We were actually thinking about entering the local talent show but we don't have a band, just the two of us" Calum continued I widened my eyes "Really? That would be so cool! You totally should! Why wouldn't it be enough with just the two of you?" I asked he shrugged "I dunno really I just think a proper band would be cool. I've always wanted to be a singer"

"Oh yeah? What about your football career, Ronaldo huh?" He chuckled lightly

"Nah I'm not going now. I'd really like to focus on music and see how it goes. I know this guy, Ashton. He plays the drums, he's already in a band but we have a mutual friend and apparently their band is done so I might talk to him" He said I noticed the bright sparkling in his eye as he spoke "Go for it!" I shouted excitedly "I may just go for it" He said grinning.

I remembered when I finally got Luke to bring his guitar into school. I was waiting for him by the music room because he said he was going to play me a song but when he arrived his cheeks where pink and eyes puffy "Luke, what happened?" I asked him quickly he was breathing so fast he couldn't talk. I guided him into the room and sat him down "Calm down and tell me what happened" I said slowly then I noticed "Where's your guitar? Did you leave it at home?" I asked and he broke down crying "Luke" I said softly "They took it" He said stuttering "Who did?" I asked "Troy and Jack" He said sniffling "Oh Luke. I'm sorry, What did they do with it?" I reached out and touched his shoulder but he flinched and jumped back "Luke?" I questioned he wouldn't make eye contact with me "They broke it. Smashed it to little pieces" He said hiccuping slightly "Did they hurt you, Luke?" I asked he nodded "With the guitar. They hit me with the one thing I love Ivy" He said as more tears poured down his cheeks "You need to tell someone about this. I don't care" I said standing up but he shook his head "No Ivy. I'm fine I'm not telling anyone and if you do I'll say your lying" He said standing up and running away.
