Crash || Luke Hemmings

13. missed calls

*Luna's POV*

I walked out of my bedroom feeling refreshed from the warm shower I had just taken. I pulled my wet hair back into a ponytail and pulled down the rolled leg of my yoga pants.

My eyes catch a glimpse of a body in the kitchen and for a split second I see Luke making pancakes on the stove. But, the double take I do proves me wrong and I see Stephen instead.

"Good morning, sweetheart." He said sweetly as he notices me in the hallway. I walk towards him with confident steps and he places a gentle kiss on my forehead. "Want some pancakes?"

"I would love some pancakes. Chocolate chip?"

"Of course," He nodded, and then looked at me confused. "Why do you look like you're going to go running?"

I looked at him shocked but tried to hide my expression because maybe I was overreacting. I had ran at least twice everyday this week and I had told him when I was leaving that I was going running. It just hurt because I had told him but obviously he doesn't care enough to remember.

"Because I am going running." I said simply and got a plate of pancakes. He nodded his head but didn't say anything. We were together in a room full of silence, and not the comfortable kind either. My phone rang and broke the awkwardness of the room until I saw the name that plastered across the screen.

"Aren't you going to answer Luke's phone call?" I sighed silently to myself because he had seen his name.

"No, I don't feel like talking to him right now." I stated simply and shoved a bite of pancakes into my mouth. He looked concerned but didn't ask. He either didn't want to pry or didn't care.

"I have to go to work. I'm sleeping at my place tonight since it's closer to work and I have a meeting at six in the morning tomorrow. I hope you don't mind." I shook my head no and shrugged before he gave me a hug from behind and kissed my cheek. "Why don't you have Savanna sleep over so you don't get lonely, baby."

I heard the door shut behind him and sighed loudly as another missed call from Luke displayed across the screen.

I turned my phone on do not disturb mode but grabbed my earphones out of the drawer and decided to go for that run. As Fall Out Boy songs rang through my ears I tried to block out everything my brain was trying to tell me.

*Luke's POV*

"Who do you keep calling, man?" Michael asked but his eyes didn't move from the video game happening on the tv screen.

"I would ignore you too; you seem awfully clingy." Ashton snickered as he tried his hardest to beat Michael in Fifa, which we all knew could never happen.

"Who's the girl? Did she know you were this obnoxious with your cell phone before she gave you her number?" Calum asked, receiving laughter from the other boys.

"Ha ha, very funny everyone. I'm actually calling the bar because I think I left my lucky guitar pick there so if you could all fuck off that'd be great, thanks!" I said sarcastically before walking out of our living room and into the apartment hallway.

I dialed in the now familiar number once again and pressed call. Immediately regretting it because the boys were right, I was being clingy but I didn't want anything to be weird between us now.

A few rings echoed through my ear until I heard the message I had heard about ten times today: "Hi you've reached Luna. I can't make it to my phone right now but leave me a message and I'll call you back. Thanks!"

Even if I left her a message I doubt she would call me back so I decided to do what I had done many times today and pressed the red end call button.

Anger surged through me and I couldn't tell if I was upset with Luna or myself. I was mad at myself for letting her kiss me because I knew it would be like this. I was mad at her for thinking that this changed anything between us. It's not like we hadn't done it before. But in the end, I wasn't mad at either of us really. I understand why she was scared and in reality, if she wouldn't have kissed me, I probably would have kissed her.

I shook my head and unconsciously began to dial her number again. Only to hear more rings and her voice lying and saying that she would call me back when we both knew she wouldn't.

AUTHORS NOTE

I don't know if this sucks or what but I decided to write a quick chapter because a couple people commented and voted on my last chapter which gave me some motivation(thank you)

so basically Luna is like Stephen why don't you care enough to remember what I'm doing and then is like swerve luke I don't feel like dealing with you cause I smacked lips with you
