The Only Reason ➳ l.h

Chapter 18

Recap:

"I'm sorry" My voice quivered.

He stepped away from me and walked out of the room.

That's when I lost it. I pressed my back against the wall of the semi-dirty garage and slid down it, I tucked my head into my knees and began to uncontrollably sob.

What just happened?

----

Skylar's POV

I finally managed to compose myself and picked up my rucksack that was laying in the corner of the room. I shakily sighed and made my way back into the hallway of Luke's house. I'm pretty sure I'm not wanted here.

As I began to make my way towards the door a hand was placed on my shoulder. I turned around to find Jack standing there, he looked concerned.

"Are you okay? I could hear you crying and I didn't know what to do." He spoke.

I sniffled, "I'm fine."

"No your not. There's makeup running down your face and your voice sounds strained. What happened?"

I just shook my head.

"Please?"

I was about to answer when I saw Luke walk downstairs. His face was red and his once gorgeous blue eyes were now a dull grey. I tried so hard not to cry, but I couldn't help it, a mere tear rolled down my cheek.

"I thought you would be gone by now." His eyes narrowed at me.

"Luke, mate, why is she crying? I swear if you had anything to do with this I will kill you." Jack asked.

He scoffed, "She brought it on herself."

I knew I had to get out of this house before I lost my temper at Luke and said something I would regret. I pulled myself away from Jack's grasp and ran out of the door, ignoring the protests coming from behind me.

Luke's POV

"What have you done now?!" Jack yelled just as he closed the door that Skylar left from.

"I didn't do anything, it was her!" I screamed back, throwing my arms up in the air.

Suddenly Ben came into the room, I groaned, I don't need another brother to lecture me. "What the fuck is going on with all the shouting."

"Luke here has made his girlfrien-" Jack started.

"She's not my girlfriend." I snapped.

"Well whatever she is to you, you made her cry!" He pointed a finger at me.

Ben held a look of disgust on his face, "Why on earth did you make her cry."

"You know, she's not the only one who's been crying." I pointed at my red eyes as proof.

It was true, after I left the garage I ran up to my room and cried for ages. What could I say? The girl I really liked done unspeakable things with my best friend, who also happens to like her.

"What's happened?"

I sighed, "I left to say bye to dad and when I came back Calum and Michael had left, I heard Ashton and Skylar talking so I listened in on their conversation. They had sex together at a party. The girl I really like and my best friend had sex."

"At a party?"

"That's what I said." I groaned.

"Was he drunk?" Ben asked.

"Yes.." My voice trailed off.

"Was she drunk?" He asked again.

"Well, yes bu-"

Jack interrupted me, "No buts! They were both equally drunk and obviously meant nothing by their actions, your the one whose in the wrong here Luke!"

I groaned once again, I hated when they were right.

I sighed, "Your right. I've got to go apologise."

I marched out of my house in search for Skylar.

Skylar's POV

I have nowhere to go. Dad wants nothing to do with me, Luke hates me, I'm not close enough with Andrea or Lia to stay with them, Natalie has Will with her I doubt she would want me in the way. And Luke would probably be hanging out with the guys.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in my mind.

I grabbed my phone, which was in my jacket pocket, and scrolled through my contacts list until I found the one I was looking for.

I pressed the phone against my ear and waited for a reply.

*Ring*

*Ring*

*Rin-*

"Hello?" The familiar voice spoke.

"How far are you from here?" I asked.

"I'm actually really close, I'm in Sydney for a business meeting, why?"

"Could I possibly move in with you sooner than planned, Wilma?"
