HeartBreak Girl (Luke Hemmings Fanfic)

Chapter 18

                                     Luke's P.O.V

We were about to leave the break feast place. I looked to her with raised eye brows, and a smile, and she flashed the same back.

"Ready?"I grinned.

"Ready."she grinned.

We ran into the streets and I looked up and stuck my tongue out, squeezing my eyes shut, so the water wouldn't get in them.

"What are you doing."she chuckled.

"Tasting the adventure, duh."I chuckled,"Join me."

She grinned and joined. But then suddenly stopped, and started blushing, mad. I followed her gaze, to some teenage girls, taking pictures of us. One was wearing a 5SOS t-shirt, so I assumed.

"You mind?"I bit my lip.

"No, i'm already soaked, you go."she nudged me.

"No, you're coming."I chuckled, grabbing her wrist and pulling her to the girls.

"Hello."I smiled.

"Want me to-eh- like take a picture of you guys?"Paige asked, awkwardly.

"Yes, please."one of the girls squealed.

She snapped a picture of the 4 of us, and gave the girl back her phone, making her squeel.

"Mind if we get a picture of you two?"the girl in the 5SOS t-shirt asked.

"Uh-I guess not.."Paige shrugged.

I pulled her into my side. I put one hand up to signal that it raining, and I smiled, with one arm around Paige. Paige had one arm around my waist, and another doing the same thing.

She put her thumb up when she was finished.

"So,are guys together?"one asked.

"Just super best friends."Paige smiled to them, and my heart dropped, but I just smiled.

"Well, your my OTP."one said and the other two shook their heads, agreeing.

What is OTP. I mean I should know, I'm a teenager. I looked to Paige. She was blushing, and I just smiled and nodded. People think I'm awkward. It may be somewhat true. But for the most part, I just don't know what's going on...

"Thanks.."Paige mumbled, still blushing.

We talked to the fans a bit longer than we made our way to the near-by park.

We were slightly swaying on the swings, soaked.

It was pouring harder now, the streets were clear.

I looked over to her, and smiled. Her hair was straight instead of it's normal it's normal curl, and it was clinging to her face. It was cool, her hair turned a midnight black when it was wet, instead of her usual chocolate brown color. Her fringe was completely ruined. But I didn't mind. She didn't mind. My hair looked no better.

She got my gaze and smiled back,"It's so peaceful."

"It really is."I chuckled.

"It's nice to get away from the hectic crowds."

"You don't have to tell me.."I chuckled, and she chuckled along,"It's awesome, to see the quiet side of the world."

"It's so innocent, like, the world isn't completely crazy."she said gazing majestically-i love that word, reminds me of like, penguins and stuff-but anyway she was looking at the scenery.

"Like, wars, murders, bad thoughts, and all couldn't be capable."I sighed.

"Wish it was like that."she shook her head.

"It is right now."I shrugged.

"Good enough for me.."she chuckled carefully running up to the playhouse.

"Are you coming?"she looked back and I grinned chasing, carefully, after her.

When I saw her she gestured toward the slide,"It's a water slide."

"Me first."I pleaded.

"Heck-to-the-yes!"she chuckled and I grinned.

I placed myself on the slide, and pushed down.

It was fast, and super fun. I got to the bottom pretty quickly and I laughed when I got to the bottom.

I faced the opening of the slide, and Paige shot out, into me. I fell backwards, and she fell on top of me. We were giggling pretty hard, and she rolled off of me. We lied in silence. We were being pelted with water, and our shoulders were touching. I looked at her. Her smile was so bright and pretty. She looked at me. I had a sudden burst of confidence.

"Paige, I love you. Like, I love you...more than a friend..Please say it back, if you feel the same."

"Luke."My heart-sank- I just wanted to hear those 3 words.

"Please..."I said-voice cracking, I was about to cry, I knew she felt the same, I didn't understand.

"I-"my stomach was filled with bubbles as she opened her eyes widely at me, searching my face.

Then she looked away, and stood up,"have to go..see you around.."

My heart sank,"Yea..text me later?"

"Yea,"she said walking off into the direction of Makayla's house.

I sighed, trying not to cry. I just-didn't understand. I try so hard every time. Where does it get me? It gets me here, friendzoned over and over again. When I knew she was far enough, tears streamed down my face. I whimpered in hurt. I just stared at the clouds, above me. The weather was not helping my mood. I couldn't think of any reason to live. But, I know I'm being selfish. I love Paige, so much. But I have a lot going for me..a band with my 3 best friends, I have my family, I'm so blessed. But, the chunk that Paige has taken out of my life is immense. Not going to lie, Stay with Me, was playing inside my head. It hurts..really bad.

I finally got up, and walked slowly home.

               Paige's P.O.V

I didn't go home, nope I walked to a near-by coffee shop. I sat and stared out the window. The weather made my mood even worse. I watched the rain drip down the window.

Caleb was always their in the back of my mind. He was the weeds in my garden-I try pulling him out, but his roots were just to strong. Then their was Luke...the flowers that grew around Caleb. Luke added color and happiness to the garden, bringing bees and butterflies(the other boys and Makayla). Making the garden amazing and beautiful, all except for the weeds. Which I just couldn't manage to pull out.

I love Luke so much. But even through all the pain, a small part of me is still with Caleb. It hurt me so bad to leave.
