What did I do to deserve you?//L.R.H.

CHAPTER 24

-Luke's POV-

"Lea, baby, wait!" I call out for her but she ignores me.

"No, Luke, I won't wait." she yells back and opens our house's door.

She runs towards my room but I'm fast enough to grab her wrist and pull her back right before she closes the door on my face.

"Lea. Please, just let me explain." I whisper looking at her bloodshot from crying eyes.

"Explain what? That you're going on tour with the biggest boyband ever and you didn't even bother to tell me?" she exclaims and jerks her arm out of my grip.

"I had my reasons." I say and she laughs.

"'I had my reasons"." she mimicks me and I would have laughed if we weren't under these circumstances. " You always have your reasons. Everyone has their reasons. So, why don't you tell me, what's yours?" she yells at me and wipes her eyes with the back of her hand.

"I knew you would react like this. I never meant to hurt you Lea. Never." I try to pull her in for a hug but her hand pushes me away.

"Too late." she sniffs and stares at me with those dark grey eyes I fall in love with over and over again.

"How long?" she asks, her voice cracking in the end.

"How long what?"

"How long have you been knowing about the tour?"

"A month." I look at the floor not being able to look at her hurt expression.

"A-a month?" she shutters.

"Lea, I'm so so sorry."

"No, Luke, I'm sorry." she says. "I'm sorry for expecting you to tell me that you're leaving. I'm sorry for expecting you to feel the same as I do. I'm sorry for expecting this... Us to last." she whispers and turns away from me.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I ask.

She didn't believe we would last? What? Why?

"When are you leaving?" she asks.

"In less than a month."

"Great. So, I'm going back a little earlier than I hoped." she says and my heart breaks.

"Back?" I ask.

"To LA."

"You're going back? Why didn't you tell me?" I ask.

"I had my reasons." she shrugs.

Ouch. I should have seen it coming.

"So what does that make us?" I ask afraid of the answer.

"I guess we're back to being nothing."

"Can't we at least be friends?" I ask.

"When were we friends Luke?" she says and that's enough time break me.

As she walks away from me, to the bathroom , I get to think that she's right. We never were anything else than a couple. Luke and Lea. Lea and Luke. What am I gonna do without her?

"You know, I'd never leave without you." I say right before she closes the door.

She gives me a small smile before she speaks the words I never thought could cause so much pain.

"I wish I could say the same."

I guess that's it. I don't get to bring anyone to the tour with me..
