Save Me...

~Seventeen~

Luke's POV:
She pulled away pretty fast. Am I a bad kisser? Does she not like me like that? Many questions were running through my head.

Mal: I'm sorry. I can't do this.

I tried to grab her arm before she ran away, but she slipped out of my grasp. I saw her run downstairs.

Michael's POV:
The basement door slammed shut. Mal came running down the stairs, tears rolling down her face. We met in the middle of the room in a hug.

Michael: What's wrong Superstar?

Mal: It hurts Mikey.

Michael: Did something happen with Luke?

She nodded her head.

Mal: Promise you won't do or say anything?

Ashton: We won't bugaboo. What's going on?

Mal: He kissed me.

More tears rolled down her face.

Aspen: That's great! Why are you so upset?

Mal: I was so happy. Then I thought of you Aspen.

Michael: Aspen?

Mal: I heard Luke say he liked her.

Aspen: I don't feel the same way. He actually likes you.

Michael: I didn't know you were interested in Luke.

Aspen: Since her first day at school.

Michael: That's why this hurts so much?

She nodded her head. I pulled her into another hug. As much as I wanted her to feel better I can't tell her Luke's plan.

Mal: You guys should start the movie, I'm going to clear my head.

Ashton: Want any company?

Mal: I need to be alone.

Calum: We understand.

She sadly went upstairs. I was going to go with her but she needs time.

Michael: We need to get to Luke.

Ashton: He was going to put his plan in action today.

Aspen: What plan?

Calum: Luke likes Mal.

Aspen: Why did he say he liked me?

Calum: He wasn't ready to tell Michael.

Aspen: I knew it!

Michael: Let's go see Luke.

We heard crying upstairs. Luke was in the living room, with his head in his hands. His shoulders were shaking.

Aspen: Oh, Luke.

He looked at us, his face is red, and his eyes are puffy.

Luke: I screwed up. I knew she didn't like me.

Ashton: That's not true, mate.

Michael: She really likes you.

Luke: You're just saying that.

Calum: Aspen and Mal accidentally overheard our conversation.

Luke: *sniffle* She thinks I like Aspen?

We all nodded.

Aspen: That's why she's been ignoring you, and acting weird.

Luke: Where is she? I have to tell her that I like her.

Ashton: She went to clear her head.

Michael: She does that in her own secret place. I don't even know where it is.

Luke: Hmm....

Calum: You might have to wait until she's ready to talk to everyone.

Luke: Wait! I know her secret place.

Ashton: How do you know?

Luke: Her and I were partners for that biology project. We had to find a hidden area, to compare the soil with our backyards.

Michael: Blah blah boring school stuff. Where's my sister?

Luke: We found a old tree house. After we finished the project we decided to fix it up. Make our own secret place.

Ashton: Let's go.

Luke: What do you mean?

Aspen: It's a special for you two. A perfect place to ask her to be your girlfriend.

Luke: You think?

Calum: Aspen's right.

Michael: I never thought I would say this.... let's get you and my sister together.

We laughed, and raced off to get the couple together.

Mal's POV:
I need to think. I walked to Luke and I's hideout. *Sigh* Everywhere I go know has to do with Luke. Whether, it's a place we both like, or something that just reminds me of him.

-An Hour Later-
After thinking for an hour, I know...I'm afraid of Luke.
