Chapter Two
Rosie
Saying I'm nervous for this 'talk' me and Luke are going to have is way too much of an understatement. My palms are shaking, and my heart is pounding so hard, I can feel it in my throat. I have no clue of what he is going to say, but I'm hoping for the best.
"I shouldn't have kissed you" he abruptly spoke up. The butterflies that occupied my stomach had all died off and was replaced by hollow disappointment and sadness.
"What?" I looked up at him, disbelieving the words that had just tumbled out of his mouth.
He looked everywhere but me. "That kiss was a mistake. I'm really sorry". He had almost looked pained to say those words. If he only knew the pang in my heart I felt as he spoke them.
"Why are you telling me now? You should've told me months ago, before you left" I muttered.
"I know. It's just your my little sister's friend. We shouldn't do stuff like that" He stated, his eyes finally looking at me.
I understood him, and party agreed with him. But I needed to get out of here, before I started crying in front of him. I definitely did not want him to see me like that.
"Your right" I decided to speak.
Shock etched across his face. It almost looked as if he wanted me to disagree with him. Why is he giving me mixed signals?
"We shouldn't get involved. I'm Lily's best friend and your her brother. The kiss didn't mean anything. I felt nothing" I responded in a dull tone, while standing up and proceeding to the door, wanting to get the hell out of here.
As I walked through Lily's bedroom door and down her staircase, I could here Luke calling my name, yet I ignored him.
When Lily's eyes caught my glassy ones, she rushed over to me.
"Rosie, you okay?"
"Yeah um I'm fine... I just gotta go" I sighed, almost running through the front door. As soon as I slammed the door, I couldn't hold back the tears any longer.

Monday
"Tell me what the hell happened at my house on Saturday. you just ran off out out of the blue" Lily demanded, shutting my locker door to get my attention.
I sighed, opening my locker back up again to grab the books I needed for my next periods. "It was nothing Lil, I don't really wanna talk about it, okay?"
"Did Luke say something to you? I swear if he's being mean to my best friend-"
"No, he didn't say anything Lily" I sighed once again. He didn't say anything mean, just unpleasant and heartbreaking.
"You sure? You know i'll put him in his place. He's got a big head now, thinking he's a rockstar and shit. It gets rather annoying" she scoffed, still not dropping the subject.
I closed my locker. "Luke didn't do anything, I promise".
"Okay then. Let's go to class. Nate's there" She giggled.
After we took our seats in the English classroom, our teacher had started giving us a lecture on the novel Great Expectations, and already boring the class to death. Me being the underachieving student I am, I have totally procrastinated my way out of reading the book entirely so far when in class, our teacher is discussing the climax. I should probably start reading soon.
I looked over to Lily to see her deep in thought, actually paying attention to Mr. Rodriguez go on and on about the novel. Although when I looked at her, I couldn't help but think of Luke. She had the similar golden blonde hair with piercing blue eyes. I could remember after Luke and his band, Five Seconds of Summer, caught their big break, Lily receive a lot more attention from the people at school. She hated the new attention she told me, all because her brother was going on tour with the world's famous boy band.
I also noticed how every once in a while, Nate who was seated across the room from us, would steal glances at Lily, and her returning them. Well that's adorable. I was glad that she was having luck in the relationship department.
As the rest of the uneventful day came to a close, I found myself on twitter, looking at random tags. When I noticed an all too familiar picture of someone, I tapped it making it larger. Instantly, I knew it was Luke who was taking pictures with his fans. He looked so incredibly happy when he posed with them. That made me get all warm and fuzzy inside. But as soon as the feelings came, they disappeared. I suddenly remember the conversation me and Luke had two days prior and another pang of hurt could be felt in my heart.
The kiss meant nothing. I absolutely did not have feelings for Luke.
Keep telling yourself that Rosie, maybe eventually it would be true.
