The Only Reason ➳ l.h

Chapter 19

Recap:

*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?"

Skylar's POV

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

I waited a few seconds before I got a reply. As I waited I scanned my surroundings and realised I was in the same park that Luke and I were in a few days ago. Luke.

"I'm fine with that, is your dad okay with it?" She asked.

"Yes." I lied.

"Well that's alright then, how soon do you want to move?"

"Today?"

Luke's POV

I was starting to get really worried. I couldn't find Skylar anywhere.

I checked pretty much everywhere; Andrea's, Lia's, Natalie's, her dad's, Calum's, Michael's and as much as it pained me, I checked Ashton's. But she was no where to be found.

I seriously hope she hadn't done anything stupid.

Skylar's POV

"Today? Isn't that a little soon?" She asked.

I shook my head but then stopped as I realised that she couldn't see me, "No it's not, besides its a great time to move. Since your in Sydney it would only take you a short amount of time to pick me up compared to if you were to pick me up from Adelaide."

She sighed, "I guess your right. Get your bags ready and I will see you in a few hours. I will text you when I'm on my way, meet me at that park you always text me about."

I chuckled to myself at the fact I was sitting in that very park.

Great, that's amazing, I'm moving today. I honestly didn't think she would let me move in so soon.

I had to think of a way to get inside my house without having to face my dad. That's when I remembered when I was last in my room if left the window open. I will just climb in through the back.

I started making my way to my soon-to-be old house and finally reached my destination after 15 minutes. I snuck around the back of the house and easily climbed through the window, there were a wall of flowers attached to the bricks which I climbed up.

I sighed in relief, that was easier than I thought. I quickly got out my suitcase from under my bed and started throwing everything inside it, not really caring whether it was neat or not; I need to get in and out of here as fast as I can.

"Yes!" I muttered to myself as I successfully cleared out my room, I check my phone. It took me half an hour to pack everything up.

I picked up my suitcase and threw it out the window, myself following it after.

I picked up my suitcase once again and ran out of my back garden as fast as my tiny legs could carry me.

Once I finally reached the park again I sat down on the pavement. I should probably say goodbye to everyone. I wouldn't have enough time to say goodbye to them face to face, I will just leave them a message.

I know, it makes me look like a coward.

Because that's what I am. A coward. I run away from my problems, just like what I'm doing right now.

Sighing, I picked up my phone and went to my sisters number first.

I tried to call her multiple times but every time I tried, it just ended up going straight to voicemail. I guess that's not so bad, it means that this way I wouldn't have to hear her voice. It would kill me.

"Hey Nat, you won't pick up your phone. I guess that's good in a way, because this way I can tell you everything without breaking down in tears. I'm sorry. Im so, so sorry. Your seriously going to hate me after this, but it's happening. So, a while back dad told me he is making me move in with Auntie Wilma. At first, I hated the idea. But now that I realise I have nothing here in Sydney, it's probably what's best from me, just like dad said. I just want you to know that none of this is your fault and I love you so much. Goodbye." A tear fell from my eye but I quickly wiped it away.

I'm going to miss her.

I left Calum Michael and Ashton similar messages. I was about to press the next contact on my phone before the man himself positioned himself in front of me. Luke was next on my list anyways, I guess it's probably best to tell him face to face.

"What's going on?" He looked down at me.

I stood up so I was almost height level with him, but his tall structure still caused him to tower over me.

I quickly wiped my tears away with the back of my hand, "Luke.."

"No." His voice cracked. "I heard you talking on the phone. Why? Why on earth would you want to leave?"

"Why do you think?!" I threw my arms up in the air. "My dad wants nothing to do with me, my sister is too busy with Will, I'm pretty sure I've messed up your relationship with the guys and you absolutely hate me!"

Luke's eyes became glossy, "You think I hate you?" His voice cracked.

I avoided his gaze. He took hold of my chin to make me look up at him.

"I don't."

"Then why did you completely leave me alone in your house to cry? Why did you act so cold towards me when Jack was talking to me?" I asked.

"I was angry. Angry that Ashton got to be your first kiss. Angry that Ashton was your first time. Angry that Ashton got to hold you first. Angry that Ashton had you, when I wished it was me."

I didn't know what to say, I was speechless.

"I spent the last hour looking for you. Jack knocked some sense into me. I can't blame you for a drunken mistake, I'm sorry."

I smiled up at him, "I forgive you."

He pulled me into his embrace and we stood there for about 10 minutes just hugging until the sound of a horn tore us apart.

I looked to my right to see Wilma waiting for me in the car.

I turned to Luke once more and kissed him for the last time. The kiss was full of lust and need.

I pulled away placed my forehead against his and closed my eyes. I'm going to miss him so much.

I picked up my suitcase and started making my way towards Wilma's car, that was until Luke gripped my wrist causing me to abruptly stop.

"Your still going?" This time he didn't stop the tears from falling.

"I have to, there's nothing here for me anymore." My voice cracked. I have to stay strong and leave. If I stay, then I will get in the way of Luke and Ashton's friendship, no girl is worth breaking a friendship.

"I'm here for you!" He pleaded.

He got down on his knees and hugged my waist, sobbing. "Please don't go Sky! I need you."

I lost it, the tears were gushing down my face as I hugged Luke back.

I pulled away from his grip and walked towards the car once more.

"Goodbye Luke."

A/N Wow this chapter is awful :/
