The only problem with sleeping the rest of the day is that when it comes to the night you're not tired at all. I looked at the small clock on my desk which read 3;17am, far too early to be awake. After 20 minutes of tossing and turning I let out a frustrated sigh, quietly getting myself out of bed and going into our small living area, spreading across the sofa and grabbing my laptop.

I went on tumblr for a while, scrolling through my dashboard and trying to clean up my blog a little, not really caring that I had class tomorrow. I'd just have to make out I'm sick or something and not bothering going in. Since I was listening to music through my earphones I had no idea what was going on around me, so when someone grabbed my arm it scared the life out of me. "Jesus Christ you scared the life out of me!" I whisper, pulling my earphones out an turning to whoever it was who'd grabbed me.

"Oh great, what do you want Luke? Want to remind me that my parents don't want me, or would you rather put it on the school website or something?" I whisper harshly when I see the outline of his face from the light off my laptop.

"Pops.. Look I'm.."

"Don't you dare call me that" I spit, shutting my laptop lid down and putting it on the floor before standing up. "Poppy.. can we at least talk.. let me apologize" Luke mumbles, grabbing hold of my hand and I quickly pull out of his grip but standing still, facing him. "Oh so now it's almost 4;30am and you want to talk to me? You haven't wanted me at all for the last week, why now at 4:30?" I ask and Luke makes a sort of 'uughhh' noise and starts pulling on his hair. He knew what he was doing. "Stop making me feel bad!!" he whisper/shouts and I laugh.

"You know what Luke, take how about you feel and then multiply that by 100, that's how I felt when you went ahead and told everyone about my parents not wanting me" I say, my voice cracking at the end and a couple of tears rolled own my cheeks. This all felt like some de ja vu, only a week or so ago I was stood crying in front of Calum over something pathetic.

"Poppy, no no no, oh my god please don't cry you know I hate seeing you cry" Luke mumbles and I wipe under my eyes. "How does it feel to know that you're the reason I'm crying this time" I sniff and Luke walks towards me, pulling me in for a hug. I refused to wrap my arms around him though, even though it was taking every single inch of me to stop myself from wrapping my arms around him, I'd just remember how angry I was at him. "I'm so sorry princess, I'll do anything okay, absolutely anything" Luke mumbles but I ignore him. "I swore I'd never make you unhappy and I'm the worst boyfriend ever oh my god" Luke sighs. "Don't say that" I mumble, giving in and wrapping one of my arms around him.

"Don't think you've been forgiven though Luke, my god you've got a lot to do for me to forgive you" I say, pulling away from him and then going into my room, leaving Luke on his own.
