Ch. 17

| Luke's pov |

Next day:

The guys still refuse to talk to me. Ashton might have forgiven me, but he still follows Michael and Calum around. I know they haven't forgiven me for whatever I did or they are still scared of me like everyone else is in this school. I'm scared of myself, but it would be nice to have my friends around.

I sit at lunch with Noreen only and she holds my hand. I glance over at Ashton and he looks back for a quick second, and then turns back around. I need to talk to them, at least once.

"They do care about you," Noreen says.

"No they don't. Not at all," I reply.

Noreen sighs and rubs my shoulder. She turns my face to face her and I can see the sadness in her eyes. Am I the one who makes her upset?

"You have to stop being so negative," she says then she softly presses her lips against mine.

We kiss slowly and I try to forget about everything for a while. Kissing her makes me forget about it and to focus on how her lips taste. Only if it could last forever so I never have to worry. She ends the kiss and I stare at her trying to focus on how pretty she is instead of everyone staring at us. I place some hair behind her ear and she smiles slightly.

"Invite them over and see what happens, or I can talk to them," she says.

"That might work," I say softly.

Lunch ends and we go our separate ways for the day. I go to my Physic class which sadly Michael is in. I walk in, but I find myself walking towards him. I tap him and he turns around. He flinches once he sees me, and then coughs.

"Um, hey Luke," he says timidly.

"We haven't talked in a while and I was wondering if you could come to my place later..."

"Luke, we don't need to talk,"

My face gets hot and I clench my fists.

"We do, just please, Noreen will be there, nothing will happen," I say through my gritted teeth.

"I don't like Noreen. There's something off about her," he says.

"You don't talk about her," I say with my voice slightly rising.

"Alright Luke!" He snaps, "I'll come, but you might want to talk to Ashton a little more,"

I scrunch my eyebrows together.

"Ashton? What do you mean?" I ask.

"I mean he's been going out really late, I have no idea where he goes but he'll come back wee hours in the morning. He hasn't been himself lately,"

Then class starts. I sit down, still confused on what Michael said. I just hope he comes because obviously we do have something to talk about. Michael doesn't talk to me for the rest of the day, but surprisingly, he comes to my house after school.

He looks around carefully and Noreen comes downstairs. He gives her a look of disgust and she returns the same look.

"Nice to see you Michael," she says coldly.

"You too," he replies.

I look at them back and forth, how did she use to like him when now she can barely look at him? I sit on the couch and she sits next to me. Michael sits next to me on the other side of the couch and the tension in the room is so thick I'm afraid to talk.

"What's going on with you guys?" Michael asks me.

"We're together, now do you have a problem?" Noreen says.
