"That doesn't even make any sense," Liane laughs at the ridiculous joke Luke made.

"Yes it does, it's a funny joke!" He defends crossing his arms.

"It wasn't funny," Ashlyn chimes in, fighting her own laugh. Luke pouts and reaches over the table, grabbing one of Ashlyn's fries. "Watch yourself, Hemmings, I will rip you in half." Liane's eyes widen at the threat and she finds herself laughs quietly.

After almost a week of sitting in misery, Liane decided enough was enough. She was fine for about twenty-four hours, then she broke into tears - luckily, she was alone - and almost called Michael to beg him to take her back. Now, she just sticks to hiding her feelings so everyone think she's fine. Except Luke. For some reason, he could just tell she wasn't okay.

"Hey babe," Ashton smiles, sitting next to his girlfriend and throwing an arm around her. Ashlyn immediately blushes, leaning into him.

"Aw," Luke coos sarcastically.

"You're just jealous 'cause you know you'll be alone forever," Ashlyn sticks her tongue out at the blond.

"Not true," he argues childishly, "I have Liane." He throws an arm around the girl, playfully kissing her cheek.

"Sure," she shrugs, deciding to play along. The pair had gotten extremely close abnormally quick. Liane was heartbroken over Michael and Luke was heartbroken over Elena, and since the two of them were probably fucking, they thought it was fair if they became close as well.

"She loves me," he brags with a smirk.

"Of course, Lukey, only you," she grins.

"They're gonna get married one day," Ashton decides, smiling at the two friends.

"Liane, we have to start planning immediately," Luke gushes, turning to face Liane again. She rolls her eyes with an amused smile.

"You know they actually have feelings for each other, right?" Ashlyn whispers in Ashton's ear when they were distracted taking dumb pictures.

"Of course," Ashton laughs, "they're just in denial because of Michael and Elena."

"We shouldn't force them into anything, let them move on properly." Ashton nods before turning back to the pair who were now sharing a basket of fries.

"Don't you have class this afternoon?" Luke questions, nudging her cheek with his nose.

"Yeah, shit, I have to get going," she mumbles, gathering her trash and taking another fry before getting her bag and standing from her seat.

"I'll walk you, yeah?" He offers, also standing from his seat.

"How cute are you guys?" Ashlyn coos. Liane rolls her eyes playfully as Luke rests a hand on the small of her back to guide her out of the lunch hall.

"I'm pretty sure they think we like each other," Liane mumbles once they're outside. Luke glances at her quickly, shrugging.

"I don't know, I need to get over Elena and you need to get over Michael."

"Well, yeah, but I'm not going to use you to get over him," she mumbles.

"Maybe you should talk to him," he suggests with another small shrug.

"I don't know, Luke." The rest of the trip to her class is silent and a tad awkward.

"Think about it, alright?" He murmurs against her cheek after kissing it lightly.
