Him (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 8

Kori POV 

The way Michael's lips felt on mine was a feeling that i couldn't even begin to explain. When i pushed my lips on his not caring if Luke was still standing watching us or not, he was startled at first, but Michael gave in as soon as he knew what he was about to get. At the back of my mind i knew i was gonna regret this decision but right now i didn't care. Michael was right about everything. I have no fucking clue why i cared about Luke so much, because what Luke did to me was almost unforgivable but i decided to forgive anyway, but not this time. Mikey set my mind straight. I break away from the kiss looking right into Mikeys emerald green eyes. 

"Why are you making me feel this way?" Mikey says to me just staring straight into me. 

"I don't know, but i knew you were right. Luke doesn't deserve me, after all that he has done to me, i was just setting myself up to get hurt again." I looked down at my feet in disgust about what i was setting myself up to go through. 

"You are so beautiful Kori" Michael takes his hand and lifts my head up to lock his eyes with mine once again. He pecks my lips so softly, and looks right back at me. "Darling, you are in safe hands now i promise. He wont ever hurt you ever again, i will make sure of that" I smile slightly, trailing my eyes to the dark skinned Australian standing 10 feet away from us. 

"Calum! Hi!" I smile and break out of the moment that mikey and i were just having. Calum is a good dear friend of mine. We have known each other for years, and hes protected me from so many bullies. He has also saved my life more times than i could count. But no one compares to what Luke means to me. Luke is always gonna be my ultimate best friend, no matter what happens between him and i. 

"Hey Kori, how are you? So i see Mike has a thing for you?" Calum chuckles a little, and i look back at Mikey who is looking at both of us. 

"Yea, i guess. So what are you doing here?" Calum looks at me concerned now, and i get worried. Does he have to tell me something? What happened? 

"Before you start having large feelings for Mikey" He then pulls me outside into his car. 

"What? What about Mikey is so bad?" Calum then sighs wondering if he should tell me or not. "Tell me already, i cant stand the suspicion." 

"Hes controlling, his last ex left him after 3 years with severe anxiety, and depression. He also abuses too, but not as bad as his controlling part. He acts so sweet at first and then..." Calum looks down, like hes regretting telling me this because he knows what i have been through already, but i deserve to know. I don't want to end up hurt again. 

"What Cal? Please tell me... after what Luke did to me, i don't think i can handle being hurt once again" I say with tears brimming my eyes, remembering all the hurt i went through when Luke told me that him and i couldn't be friends because of the kiss, and then finding out he was with another girl. It just all hurt my heart way too much that i cried myself to sleep for nights not being able to control the tears. 

"He becomes your worst nightmare"
