You and I (A Janoskians Fan Fiction and sequel to Forbidden Love)

Chapter 24 - Things Can Only Get Better, Right?

Chapter 24.

Luke's POV.

I've had a good day with the boys, my mind has been taken off Kayla and Marc, but now we're heading back and I'm dreading seeing him. I shouldn't of hit him but he was meant to be my mate and I think it hurts more the fact she told me she was coming to call this whole stupid break off and I'd kissed Chantel in front of her.

"Chin up man, everything will sort it's self out in the end" Skip nudges me out of my thoughts.

"I know, but you know.." I sigh.

"Yep, I get you, it's been months since I saw my little boy it's killing me but I honestly believe everything will sort it's self out" he smiles and smacks me on the back.

"Right guys" Jacob calls as we park up on our drive, we all pile out and in through the front door, I can smell cooking which means he's here. I walk through to the kitchen, following everyone else. I scream in my head silently and just carry on walking through to outside, Kayla's in there in her bikini, cooking with him laughing and joking. I punch the wall,

"Luke" I hear someone say, I turn round to face Georgia and Katie who are looking at me open mouthed.

"What?" I sigh.

"Stop doing this, the more you fight and argue the more you're pushing her away" Georgia says, walking over to me and dragging me by the arm to sit on a chair.

"She looks happy enough" I say angrily.

"I'm pretty sure she didn't expect to travel all the way to L.A to find her boyfriend in bed with somebody else" Katie defends her.

"She chose this! Not me!" I argue.

"I think she thought she was doing you a favour, you two got back together so quickly when she found out she was pregnant and then everything that's gone on since, she was giving you a bit of freedom back that she thought you needed with her not being in L.A, she didn't know how long it was going to be till she got here" Georgia admits, I look at her as I hear the home truths, Georgia shrugs, "We talk, she's my sister but I do know that she cried on Jai this morning after he walked in on her packing her stuff up, she wants to go home and I don't mean Australia."

"That isn't what I want" I cover my face with my hands and shake my head.

"You know what I think?" Katie butts in, "Make friends with her, be happy for her, you have fun with Chantel, she fricking loves you Luke. You'll be together again soon, everything will sort it's self out."

"Skip told me that exact same thing like 20 minutes ago" I look up at her.

"See, so it must be right" she grins, "Come on, let's go in, I'm starving."

We all go inside where Kayla and Marc are dishing up the food onto plates.

She looks up and looks right at me, my heart is literally beating in my chest, I'm sick of all this bullshit I literally just want to pick her up and take her upstairs.

"I've asked Marc to stay for dinner, I hope that's okay?" she looks round at everyone, then her eyes stop on me, Katie and Georgia's words go round in my head, they're her best friends, I take a deep breath and nod, walking over to help them take the plates to the table. Kayla touches my arm, "thank you" she says quietly.

"Can we talk later?" I murmur.

"Of course" she smiles.

She seats herself next to Marc, he whispers something in her ear and she laughs, I stupidly seat myself opposite them.

"This mash is delicious" Beau says stuffing his mouth with it.

"Thank Kayla, she made it" Marc grins looking at her.

"Erm, I peeled and chopped the potatoes! It's not rocket science" she giggles.

"Are you guys ready for training sesh tomorrow morning?" Marc asks us, I watch as the other boys nod.

"Good, be at the gym for 9am sharpish" he leans back in his chair and puts his arm on the back on Kayla's chair.

"Excuse me a moment" I say getting up and excusing myself outside, I take a few deep breaths.

"Luke?"

I turn round to face the voice.

"Can we have a chat, man to man? No punching?" Marc laughs slightly.

"Go ahead" I say, my voice deadpan.

"Look, I am sorry mate, honestly but it just happened, I find her really attractive and funny. She honestly tried avoiding me but then what happened after the party happened, and you're with Chantel ..." he trails off.

"I get it" I sigh, "I know your reputation though, please don't do that to her, she's fragile, we've had a rough couple of months"

"I know, Evie? I'm so sorry to hear about that, but I'd never hurt her, I'd have you lot after me and I'd pretty scared of Katie she said she'd chop my balls off with blunt scissors" he chuckles, "Would it be cool with you, if I asked her on a date?"

"Would if matter if I said no?" I raise my eyebrows.

"To me, no, but I know Kayla adores you and if you said no, she'd say no, but I'm okay playing second best I'm not looking for a long term relationship. I know all about this little pact you two have" he shrugs.

"Is there anything she hasn't told you?! But .. yes okay, I want her to be happy" I sigh.

"Thanks man" he holds his hand out.

"Are you two okay out here?" I hear Kayla says nervously, she comes to the side door.

"Never been better" Marc smile sat her, "I'm going but see you at the gym?" he strokes her arm as he goes past, she nods and watches him leave.

"Luke"

"Kayla"

We say at the same time, we both laugh nervously.

"You first" I gesture sitting down on one of the chairs.

"I honestly didn't mean to anger you in anyway, I love you so much Luke it hurts but it's just obvious that right now isn't quite our time. It hurts me even more when you don't listen to me which leads to you not talking to me and practically hate me -"

"I could never hate you" I butt in.

"-it sometimes seems like you do, but yeah I hate it so much. If you don't want Marc coming round anymore then tell me, or you don't want me to see him and stuff, just talk to me" she's playing with her hands nervously.

"Come here" I say guiding her to my lap, she sits down and looks at me.

"First of all never ever think I hate you because I wouldn't and couldn't, this is totally messed up this entirely thing, I'm not happy that you've told him practically everything but when you came out before, he was asking for my permission to take you out on a date" I look up at her, her green eyes are sparkling but she's shivering still in her bikini.

"Oh?" she replies, as I take my jumper off and give it to her.

"So I told him yes, if it makes you happy. Kayla it's what you deserve and if it stops you from leaving, then so be it" I put my arm around her waist.

"Leaving?" she freezes on my lap.

"Yep, Katie and Georgia told me that Jai told them that he caught you packing in your room" my heart breaks as I see sadness wash over her face.

"I thought it would of just been better for all of us if I just went" she bites her lip.

"Why would you even think that?" I sigh.

"With everything that's going on, it would of just been easier" she buries her head into my neck.

"Talk to me next time, I'm here, I love you" I say into her hair.
