My Brother's Best Friends // 5sos

Chapter37

A/N ~ NEW FANFICTION. Okay, I just posted a new 5sos fanfic called 'While You Were Sleeping'. Please check it out! c:

"So when are you guys going on tour with the famous One Direction?" I laugh, asking Michael. I'm not like other girls and adore One Direction. I don't hate them, but I don't particularly like them either.

"In 6 months!" He grins. Its the happiest I've seen him in a long time. I'm about to tell him so, when my phone vibrates on the dining table next to me. I pick it up and read the text I've just received. It's from Luke.

*We need to talk Skyler... I'll pick you up at 2pm? x*

Talk? Sure, we need to talk about what he's been holding back from me but could he be talking about something else? Our secret relationship? Does he not want us to go out anymore?

I quickly text back with sweaty palms.

*Sure...See you then x*

"You okay?" My brother asks, looking at me strangely.

"I'm fine." I sigh, picking up my cereal bowl and dumping it in the sink.

"Want a bit chewing gum?" He asks. I nod and walk over to his extended hand. I reach to take a strip of chewing gum out of the packet when a snapping noise sounds and pain shoots up my finger.

"OW! WHAT THE HELL?!" I scream, the packet of chewing gum dangling off my finger. I detach it and shoot him a glare while he just laughs his head off. I forgot he had been to the joke shop and bought a bunch of crap. I should have known better than to think Michael was simply being nice.

"T-THAT WAS GREAT!" He laughs, slamming a hand against the table. I huff, throw the fake chewing gum packet at his head and run upstairs to get changed.

Luke's P.O.V ~

I read Skyler's reply and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding before collapsing back onto my bed. I've been a dick to her, I know it. She deserves someone better...someone like Ashton.

I know there's nothing going on between the pair but the way she calls him 'Ash' just drives me fucking crazy. Or that time when I was looking for him and Mikey and I walked in on them tickling each other...he had been on top of her and her top was up. The way he had winked at her afterwards- I shudder, my thoughts making me feel sick. Nobody should be close to her like that, nobody except me.

I love Skyler. Fuck, I love her too much for my own good, but I cant tell her that until I've told her the truth. I don't want us to be a secret, I want to show her off to the world if I'm being honest. Walk down the street with her hand in mine, kiss her after band practice without having to worry about Calum, just small things. The day that she actually agreed to go out with me was probably the happiest I had been in a long time. Even when we didn't go out, just seeing her would cheer me up.

It kills me to know that once I've told her the truth, she wont want anything to do with me.

I get up and pull on my pair of black, ripped skinny jeans and throw on my ATL tee. I look at the slight discolouring at the hem of it, remembering when Sky had worried more about my tee than the fact that she was bleeding. A small smile forms on my face at the memory of her.

I walk downstairs barefoot and into the kitchen. Grabbing some bread, I put it in the toaster and pull down the little lever waiting for the bread to toast.

"You're not looking so happy today, are you Lukey?" I hear Ben, one of my two older brothers say from behind me.

"Is that a crime?" I snap.
