Try Hard || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 23

Skye's POV
I've been getting a bit better lately. I'm not completely over it but I've been going to mandatory therapy and it really helps. I still just shut down all the time, and sometimes I just have a meltdown. But Connor and Ali really understand and help a lot.

Luke's POV
I look on her twitter again. She was having a conversation with the Connor guy. They were all flirting and everything. She's still not answering her phone. I text her quickly.

Luke:
Back in London. Meet me at the o2 now.

The boys and Paul are in one corner of the room. I finally see Skye walking over. Her hair got longer and she's wearing a bit more makeup than she used to.

"Sorry I was with some friends." she says, stepping up on the stage with me. She hugs me. I don't hug her back and she lets go and makes a confused face at me.

Skye's POV
"What's wrong?" I ask, stepping away from him.

"Are you cheating on me?" He asks looking like he's going to cry.

"No of course not." I say, why would he think that?

"Then who's Connor?" He asks. He's crying now.

"Connor? He's a friend and we just-"

"Stop." He cuts me off.

"You haven't been answering my calls, and now you're hanging out with this new guy?" he looks so hurt.

"Luke..."

"We're through." He whispers. Tears stream down my face. I breathe a bit.

"Alright I guess I'll just get out of your life, if I'm such a bad person." I step off the stage, and start walking back outside. I don't turn around.

"HEY SKYE!" Calum and Ashton and Michael hug me. They notice my face.

"What's wrong?" Ashton says looking worried.

"Ask your stupid bandmate." I say pushing past them to my car and slamming the door.

It's over.
