Heartache on The Big Screen

~Sixteen~

"Luke's POV"

"She loves you Luke, and she's so fucking worried about." Michael tells me. "How the fuck did you even find me here Clifford? I just want to be alone. Anyways shes with ashton now so what does it matter?" I ask him, taking another drink of my beer.

"Luke you're her bestfriend. She cares more about you than anything else in this world. Why don't you believe that anymore?" He asks me. Then he sits down at the bar and orders himself a beer.

"I don't believe it because the night I told her I loved her, like really loved her she turned her back on me and started dating one of my best friends. She gave up on me Michael. I didn't give up on her." I told him, my eyes beginning to sting. Fucking alcohol. It makes me emotional.

"But Luke, you did give up on her.. She was almost killed by her fucking crazy ex boyfriend and you disappeared because you were scared to lose her. But disappearing only made you lose her more dude. Ashton stayed by her side during the entire ordeal." Michael concluded.

"Mikey, I don't think you fully understand what I went through. I held my best friend, the love of my life, in my arms as she died. I saved her from being shot in the head. I carried her breathless, broken body into the hospital and begged them not to fucking give up on her because that was our promise to each other to never give up. Michael I love her. But she wants him. I've lost my purpose." I said, crying and defeated.

"She loves you. She just clung on to the person who was there. I don't even think she actually has feelings for Ashton, Luke she's lost without you man and it breaks my heart. Come back. We need you. She needs you. I need you. I'm lost without my annoying little Lukey around." He teased me to lighten the mood.

"I love you Mike, and I love Cal, and I obviously love Lilah. But I can't sit around and watch her and Ashton be together. The thought of it makes me sick. So as long as their together I'm keeping my distance." I told him.

"Keep in touch Luke. I don't want to lose you." Michael told me sadly. Then he left ten bucks on the bar and got up and left. I wanted nothing more than to go back to hanging out with my friends, but I couldn't stand watching the girl I love with another guy. Not again. Not after last time. I know Ashton couldn't hurt her but it still scared me shitless.
