Chapter 62

(1 week later. June 16)

"So what's the great new song you told us about Luke?" Calum asks , sitting on the couch across from Luke.

Before Luke answers, Ashton cuts him off.
"Wait let's video call Alex." Ashton runs , grabbing his phone to face time the sleeping girl.

She yawns, opening her eyes and staring at the screen.

"Hi Al, sorry we woke you up. But Luke wrote a new song." Ashton says softly, trying not to frighten the girl.

"Yeah it's fine. You just woke me up..." she says studying the clock on her night stand.
"4 hours before class. It's cool." She said sarcastically. Everyone laughs even Luke.

Things have been better between them . They both try to be happy for one another, but the pain was still there. They couldn't deny the longing they had for each other.

In Alex's mind, Luke would never forgive her.

In Luke's mind , Alex never loved him.

"It's called 'Close as Strangers'." Luke answers, holding the guitar.

"Six weeks since I've been away and now your saying everything has changed
And I'm afraid that I might be losing you
Now every night that I spend alone, kills me thinking of you on your own
And I wish I was back home next to you

Oh everyday, you feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
I won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers

Late night calls and another text, is this as good as we're gonna get?
Another time zone taking me away from you
Living dreams and fluorescent lights, while you and I are running out of time
But you know that I'll always wait for you
Oh everyday, you feel a little bit further away
And I don't know what to say

Are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
I won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers

On the phone, I can tell that you wanna move on
Through the tears
I can hear that I shouldn't have gone
Every day, gets harder to stay away from you
So tell me are we wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers

Wasting time
Talking on a broken line?
Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages
I feel like we're as close as strangers
I won't give up
Even though it hurts so much
Every night, I'm losing you in a thousand faces
Now it feels we're as close as strangers

6 months since I went away, I didn't know everything has changed
But tomorrow I'll be coming back to you.."

The song brings tears to Alex's eyes , he missed her the way she missed him.
The song described how they both felt .

As the days went on talking on broken lines and wasn't enough for both of them. They were wasting their time holding on to something they couldn't have .

But the bridge hit her the hardest.
Was it really that noticeable how broken she was?

How she wanted to forget him, to forget the only person behind her heart beats..

Alex is snapped out of her thoughts when Luke talks to her , his voice calming the raging demons inside her head.

"Did you like it?" He asks nervously, fiddling with the guitar pick.
