I stared at Luke in confusion. I was so focused on what he was saying, I listened to every word. I felt something hard crawling up my throat, and the tears fell down my face. Luke was so scared, so guilty. It broke my heart, and I thought the only way to fix it was to act on the first thought that came to my mind.

So I kissed him.

And then he broke my heart all over again.

I shook my head, staring at him in utter confusion and surprise.

"Wh-what?" I whispered.

Luke breathed in shakily and shook his head. "I'm so, so sorry, Phoenix. I didn't know you felt...that way." He looked at my devastated expression and immediately tried to make it better. "No, no, no, don't cry. Please don't cry. Phoenix, you're the mot important thing that's ever happened to me. And I mean that in the most friendly way possibly. Please understand that." He tried to place his hand on my arm to comfort me.

My whole body shook in anger and I shrieked back, "No!!" swatting his hand off of me. "No, I can't understand. You play with my emotions, Luke!! Don't you understand how much you've hurt me?!" I stared deep into his guilty eyes. "Phoenix...." he began to say.

"No," I whispered quietly. The tears were coming back on, harder this time, and it could barely speak any more. "I'll walk myself home," I snapped before turning back around and leaving Luke.

Just as he left me.
