Before you start reading, just want to let you know that this is a really short chapter, only to go back when Luke came out of his room and faced the boys. It may be short like this for two or three other chap. Or maybe not ;) -So





Luke's pov

I knew this day was coming, where I would have to face my friends, who were on Sophie's side.

In the few days before, they sent me some texts, telling me where they were if I wanna join them. It was a nice try, but nothing made me come out. Until I read the letter.

After New Year's eve, my mother let a paper on my bed, by the time I was in the shower. I instantly recognized Sophie's writting, all classic and neat. I couldn't open it. I was starring at it day and night, until l woke up with it in my hands. It was the time for me to read the letter. I unfolled it, and became nervous. My hands were sweating and my heart was pounding.

"Luke,

I know it didn't went well between us, and I'm sorry. The night you left was the most horrible of my life, but l understand now. You can not know how I hate myself for keeping you waiting, but, as I write you these words, I try to move on, to move on you and the idea of us that l had created. We both deserve the best, which I guess was not in my arms for you.

While you read this, because l know you too well, you would have starred at this piece of paper for days, but now, l am gone. I am back to Columbia to continue my studies and hope to make the right choice about it. You do not know how I regret not having the best friend I had anymore, the one with whom I shared my fears, my laughter, my first kiss.

I guess l have to let you some time, since you made it pretty clear in front of everybody that we had no more chance. I am fine with that now, I had enough of looking like a mess and being a zombie. My parents were scared of me... Talking about parents, take care of your mother. Liz was like my second mom and the way she cried on the other side of my door just broke my heart more then he already was. She is worried about you. She loves you, Luke.

I won't take more of your time, I am sure you have other projects on. I really wish you everything you want, for your career with the boys to your personal life.

*The song that gave me the courage to write you this letter is Never be. She is on repeat in my headphones! I don't know why, but l think she is the best of all. l just totally love it!

With all my most sincere love,

your bestfriend,

-Sophie"

I read it all over again, at least twenty times. I felt the tears burn my eyes, but chased them away. I just lost the most important person in my life and didn't even botther about the day she was heading back to New York. I should have went to see her, explain her that I was wrong and that she is the only light in my life. Without her I was lost, l was always in the shadow. With Sophie around, everything just light up because of her smile.

What the hell have I done? I made her run away from me, when I should have made her come in my arms and never let her go. Instead, l broke every chance with her.

At the moment, l wasn't ready for anything. All I needed was my friends.

With an excess of courage, I drove over to Ashton's place, where I saw Cal's car, since they decieded to have a little jam session. I came in without knocking, kissing Anne, his mother, on the cheek. She was surprised to see me. I guess it was my clothes. It was a black shirt completely dirty, since I wore it for three days.

I heard the music coming from the basement and rushed downstairs. I first saw the purple hair of Micheal, who was on his feet, his bass in hand. Then, since he was facing me, Calum saw me. He blinked a few time, like if he didn't believe that I was actually standing right in front of him.

"Hi guys!" I said, grabbing a guitar from the wall.

They were all looking at me, with a confuse expression on.

"Luke!" Mikey was the first to greet me and squeazed me in a hug.

"You have explanations to give us." Calum fermly attacked me. I decieded to don't argue back, so l nodded. We all sat on the couch.

"What happened?" Ashton asked me, worry clearly showing in his eyes.

I took a deep breath and opened myself to them. It was the first time that I was talking about it with somebody else then myself.

"I am in love with Sophie. I know that I will always be, even if l never see her again. What I did on Christmas was... well, I am still trying to figure out my attitude of that night and I just don't recognize myself. It wasn't me! Where was the Luke who had the guts to tell her how he felt in front of million of people on live tv? I didn't stopped thinking about that for the last week and I feel like shit. She is gone now. All l am thinking about is how Sophie will turn the page on me, while l will always be miserable. And, to be honest, it scares the shit out of me!"

I permit my eyes to look into my friend's eyes, scared to see how disappointed they would be. Instead, I read comprehension inside of them.

"I missed you." Micheal, said, out of nowhere since no one was saying a word after my declaration. We all starred at each others, and mentally agreed on a group hug. We all stood up and at that moment, I realized why friends are so important in life.
