Luke's POV 

I am a mess without May. I should've fought.

I should've stuck up for her on the beach, instead of ending it because I want her and Michael to have a good relationship. I should've been by her side, protecting her and keeping her with me. I should've I should've I should've.

Why didn't I do?

"Luke, this is tearing you apart." Calum told me for the hundredth time.

"You're acting like I don't know that." I was face-planted on my bed, Calum standing over me.

"Bro, you gotta fight for her. Show Michael that you do love her and want her."

"I can't, Cal. He'll probably just beat me up, again. And if I do change his mind, May isn't going to want to see me. I fucked up. I lost my baby."

"Luke. Stop sulking. You know that you have to try. You know what you can do. So do it, you lazy ass."

"You know, this pep-talk isn't helping very much."

"I'm serious."

"I am too. I just can't face her right now."

"Her? You mean Michael, right?"

"No. I mean May. I broke both of our hearts. It was like being stabbed a million times to see the look on her face when I walked. Or when I broke up with her. I'm terrible. I can't see her again. Not now."

"Listen, you know to get over a fear you have to face it, right?"

"Cal,"

"Right."

"Ugh. Yeah."

"You need to see her, talk things through, tell her why you did it. Talk to Michael, too. Please just try."

"Leave me alone."

"No."

"Go away!"

"Luke Robert Hemmings. Get off your lazy and over-thinking ass and go get your girl!"

"You know what?" I jumped off the bed.

"What?!"

"I'm gonna do it. I'm going to go get me girl!" I marched off to go make things right with my baby girl.
