"can i kiss you?"

"ye-," i barley had the chance to finish my response, as his hands cup my face and kiss me gently, moving slowly.

"goodbye," he cut the kiss short, smirking at me and walking away, knowing exactly what he just did.

he left me wanting more.

it's currently 2am on a wenesday and i'm still wide awake. i had napped earlier so that probably screwed up my whole sleeping routine. i called brian a little while ago, and we spoke about anything and everything, i even told him about my luke situation.

i told him about how i feel about him, and he said that i should go for it. but i dont know... luke comes with alot of baggage, which i'm fine with, but luke might not be. i havent even seen luke since monday, i feel like not that we dont have to do a project together, we dont have an excuse to see eachother.

so here i am, sitting on my couch, letting my thoughts invade me.

i know i want him, but does he want me?

it's all giving me a headache, so i decide to drink a glass of water, and take a walk outside. putting a light sweater on, i locked my door behind me, and made my way wherever my legs took me.

i wound up finding a really cool rock in a huge field i was walking by. the field was covered with dozens and dozens of sunflowers disappearing in the dark horizon filled with endless stars.

i sat on the large rock, and just sat there, looking out into the distance and taking in the beauty of nature.

"hi ma," i smile, looking up at the sky, "i hope brian is giving you your flowers just like i told him too, and i you're doing well."

i let out a deep breath and closed my eyes, letting the wind blow on me. moments later, my peace was inturrupted with the vibrations of my phone.

luke hemmings.

waiting a couple of seconds to accept, i pick up the phone.

"hello?"

"ariadne, thank god you're awake." it was calum, "i need you to come over."

"what? why?" i begin to panic, already off the rock and back on my way to the apartment.

"did you say or do anything to luke recently?"

"what do you mean?"

"he keeps reffering to a 'her' and i have no idea what he's talking about. skylars docter also called him, informing him that she officially had less than a month to live." i gasp.

"well whats he saying about the 'her'?"

"he's saying something about how he shouldn't have eve- luke! put that down stop!" calum yells over the phone, as a crash is heard on the other side, "listen, i'm going to have to go already? i'll explain more when you get here."
