life's a tangled web... life's a tangled web....hmmmm.

Luke, Calum, Lola and I were sitting in the recording room, at the moment Luke and Calum were trying to put a song together. "life's a tangled web, Calum l like that do you?" Luke said to Calum. The lyrics were good I personally liked them and the way Lola looked at me after Luke sang a melody with the words  you could tell she liked it too. " Riley what do you think?" Luke asked me, and to be honest I had no clue why he was asking for my opinion. the last time he talked to me was when he asked me to stay out if his personal life and to just do my job and that we will never be friends. I gave him a shocking look and he could tell that I was shocked because he talked again to me "well what do you think?" I paused for a moment to think about what I was going to say, for all I know if I go to far this kid my blow up on me. " I like it " I shyly said to Luke. "like?" he questioned " yeah umm.. I think I have an idea for the next part but uh you can probably come up with something on your own with cal" he looked at me and turned away to think, I sighed and got up to go to the fridge to grab a water. " its okay I think me and cal will be able to figure out more lyrics for the rest of the song but thanks for the offer" I knew that he was going to not want to hear the lyrics I had that I was willing to give to him. "okay" I said softly and took a gulp of my water. Luke looked guilty and he stood up and walked over to me " hey Riley can I talk to you for a minute outside?" he whispered to me. I nodded in response and followed behind him out the door. as we walked down the hall to a place that was more private I started thinking, he's going to blow up on me or tell me the same thing he did a month ago. fuck. why do I do this to myself? we stopped in the hallway and before he could even get a word out I started talking " look Luke I know you don't want me to help and I'm sorry if I crossed a line in there I'm doing my best to try and stay out if your personal life." he smiled down at me because he was like 6 inches taller me "look Riley what I said to you before was ridiculous I was getting out of a relationship and when we talked I was not in a good mood and I know its hard for you to not stay out of my personal life because your in it everyday because I put you there. look I'm sorry for what I said before and I want to be friends because I'm making your job a lot harder than it should be by being a dick to you." I was speechless he was apologizing " okay I said quietly so you want me to treat you like I treat Michael and everyone else. like friends?" he nodded his head "yes" I smiled because I was happy that this job was not going to be a job anymore it was going to be a life, a life I've always wanted.
