Twenty Five

I finally made it to Luke's house. When I got to the door, I took a huge breath before I knocked.

"Oh, hi Skylar." Luke said in a cheerful voice.

"Hi. We need to talk." I said. He gave me a confused look before moving out of the way for me to walk in.

"What's going on?" Luke said as soon as he closed the door. Funny, he really doesn't know.

"How do you not know?" I shook my head at him.

"Oh my god are you pregnant?" Luke said quickly.

I shook my head again. "No, Luke, I am not pregnant."

"Oh that's great," he said with a sigh. He stepped closer to me, pulling me into to him. He kissed the top of my head and hugged me tightly. "How's my little babe doing?"

"Terrible." I said quietly. The way Luke was acting right now was making me forget why I came here. I needed to stand my ground.

"Why is that?" he said, pulling away from me. He looked at me in the eyes, god his were so beautiful. How can I be mad at him?

"C-Calum told me some things." I said quickly. Get on track, Skylar.

"What did he say?"

"He didn't really say much, that's why I'm here," I started playing with my fingers, out of nervous habit. "He said you said some things, but he never told me what they were."

"What is he talking about?" Luke shook his head.

"I don't know, Luke, you tell me." I crossed my arms.

Luke sighed. "I didn't say anything, Skylar. Calum is just taking his anger out on you and trying to split us up."

"And how do I know that's the truth?" I said stubbornly.

"Because you trust me and you love me?" Luke said stubbornly as well.

"I've been friends with Calum since 4th grade, Luke."

"He hasn't been much of a friend lately, now has he?" Luke said, crossing his arms.

"I just want to know what you said, Luke. I'm not going to flip shit over it, I just want to know."

"I didn't say anything!" Luke said loudly.

"You wouldn't be so defensive if you didn't say anything." I put my hands on my hips.

"Fine, you want to know what I said?" Luke stepped away from me. "I said you would've never started liking me if you didn't know how broken I was. You just want a pat on the back when this is all over."

I shook my head. "Luke,"

"No, Skylar, don't say anything." he said, stepping away again. "You probably don't even love me and you're probably using me to get relationship goals and whatever."

"Luke, are yo-"

"Skylar, just leave, please." Luke said. His face held no emotion. I quickly made my way to the door and slammed it behind me.

I didn't cry, I didn't do anything. I say in my car for two minutes, silent, thinking of what to do now. My body felt numb.

Calum hated me. Luke hated me. They were all I had left and they hated me.

But now I hated me too.

I drove home quickly, not bothering to turn any music on. Once I got up to the apartment, I quickly searched through the house.

Hannah was gone.

I sighed and went into the bathroom, turning on the shower, stepping in after I removed my clothes.
