Disconnected // Hemmo (DISCONT.)

It was now Monday and I decided to talk to Ashton about the party and apologize. But there was one problem, he was ignoring me. He even sat on the completely opposite side of the classroom in third. I think it was because he was afraid Luke would hit him again if he saw us talking. But he wouldn't. 

I figured I would go to his locker after lunch because he was always there. 

I was walking in the hall when I saw him standing there. He didn't see me walking up to him so he couldn't run away. I hurried before he was done grabbing his things. I had five minutes so I needed to make it fast. 

"Hi, Ashton." I said leaning up against the locker. He looked up at me and when our eyes met he had a scared look on his face. I couldn't help but slightly laugh at how scared he was of Luke.

"Uh, Hi, Kat.." He said quietly.

"Listen, I know you're probably scared Luke will get you if he sees us but he won't." I said to relieve him of his worries.

"Oh thank God. My eye still hurts." He chuckled. I could still see a little bit of blue and purple around his eye. "I'm so sorry he did that. He said he just got mad." I said, starting to feel bad.

"No it's my fault. I was a dumb drunk and kissed you, which I shouldn't have." He said shaking his head. Honestly, I didn't mind it. He was cute and a good kisser also. Not as good as Luke of course.

Dammit. Everything I think of leads me to Luke. No matter what it is and I needed to stop doing that. I liked Luke and I's friendship the way it was.

"You're fine Ash! I actually didn't mind if I'm being honest." I said smiling. A little bit of red creeped on his face and he shut his locker. 

"Then you wouldn't mind going out again?" He said with a smirk. Maybe if I went out with Ashton it would take my mind off of Luke and the feelings would fade.

"Of course I wouldn't." I said. He nodded his head and said "Well I've got to go to class. I'll text you later." He said leaning in to kiss my cheek.  

Now I was utterly confused on my feelings. 

Ashton would give me small butterflies and he was so sweet. But then Luke, my best friend, made me having a million butterflies when he would just kiss my forehead and he was so nice too but then again he had anger issues. I wasn't really consider dating Ashton, it was just a way to get my head off Luke. I know that sounds bad but it could also be good?

Luke rode with me to me house again after school. This was pretty much an everyday thing. We were just sitting on my bed now eating snacks.

"I've been taking my medicine." Luke looked at me with a big smile. This was great because I knew how much he despised taking the medicine. 

"That's great Luke!" I said getting up and hugging him. 

"Oh and I made you this." He said reaching into his backpack and pulled out a CD and handed it to me. On it he had written "To Kat, From Lukey :)". Inside was a list of the songs. I noticed it was all his favorite songs and a few I haven't heard. 

"That's so cute, I love it!" I said hugging him again and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Cute?" he asked with one eyebrow raised.

"My bad, I mean woah Luke this is amazingly so cool!" I said deepening my voice to try and sound like a guy. He laughed and got up to put the cd in. 

"Now the last song on there you can't listen to until I'm not here." He said.

"Why?" I was curious on why this last song was so special. 

"Because I wrote it." He said smiling at me. I looked at the paper and looked at the title of the song. It was called "Disconnected". I was super excited to hear it because i've never heard him sing before. And I had no idea he could even write songs too. 

"Okay now that is cute." I said. "What's it even about?" I asked him. 

He paused for a moment before saying "Uh, you." he looked down as if he were embarrassed that he wrote a song about me. My stomach fluttered and I couldn't stop smiling. He wrote a song dedicated to me. That was the sweetest thing ever. 

I got up and walked over to the side of the bed where he was sitting. I said "That is the sweetest and cutest thing ever." before crashing my lips with his. He grabbed my waist and pulled me down on top of him. I felt his tongue graze my bottom lip and I parted my lips allowing him in. The kiss was full of lust and was passionate. I moved my hand up his toned torso and up his neck to his hair, playing with it. He let out a soft moan and I smiled at what I had done. 

He grabbed my body and flipped us so he was now in control. One of his hands rested on my hip and the other by my head to support him. He started to kiss my jaw and then my neck. I let out a soft moan as he did early because he found my soft spot. As he kept moving farther I heard my phone ring.

"L-luke." I tried to get out but he probably took it as a moan. I laughed and pushed him off of me to get up. He gave me a confused look and I told him my phone was ringing. I looked at the ID and it was an unknown number but I answered it anyway.

"Hello?" I said sitting down next to Luke.

"Hi, is this Ms. Heins?" The unknown woman said.

"This is her daughter, Katrina. I can take a message."

"I am very sorry to inform you but your father has been diagnosed with stage four brain cancer." Just then I felt like the would was falling down. I couldn't get out any words to reply so i just threw my phone. 

My father who was only 46 was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer and was going to die. I didn't know the stages of cancer I just knew stage four wasn't good. I felt my eyes swelling up with tears and I didn't bother to try and stop them. 

It took Luke a second to realized I was crying and when he did he brought me into his arms and said "Kat, what's wrong?" I sobbed into his shirt, making a big wet spot, for a few minutes before being able to get out the words. 

"I-Its my dad, h-he has," I stopped for a second to continue crying because I could barley speak. 

"He has stage four brain cancer." I finally managed to get the words out. He said there silent for a minute, I guess taking in what I just said before pulling me even closer. 

"It's okay, Kat, you can get through this. You have me and your other family." He said kissing my head. Being in his arms made me feel safer and more calm. We continued to sit like that for a hour until I finally stopped crying.

After being at the hospital for four hours and crying with my mom for three of them, we were finally going home. It was midnight now and we were both so tired. I was pretty sure I had ran out of tears. This was all so sudden and unexpected. My mom was even more devastated then I was when I found out. And seeing her broken made me cry even more.

When we got home I went up in my room and laid in my bed. Luke had called me every thirty minutes to make sure I was okay. Him being with me really helped. 

Just then I remembered the cd he made me and his song. I still hadn't listened to it so I decided to put it into the player.

I switched it to the last song and Luke's voice popped up "Hi Kat! This is a song I wrote for you. It pretty much is about how I feel when i'm with you." 

After his voice went away the song started playing.

We put the world away, yeah we're so disconnected.

His song sent chills all over my body. It was amazing. He was amazing. In those few minutes I had forgotten about my father, I forgot about how sad I was. All I could think of was Luke. And now I knew I had definite feelings for him.
