Fall For You (discontinued)

➸ｌｕｋｅ'ｓ ｐｏｖ

I couldn't focus on our chemistry assignment. I was still tense and pissed off at that Calum kid. He liked my Skylar. And she liked him too. I'm beyond happy that Sky has no idea Calum likes her though. As mean as it sounds, but it means I still might have a chance to get Sky to see me instead of him.

The words the boy told me kept echoing through my head. It was driving me crazy. I wish he wouldn't have told me. I replayed his words Inside my head. No matter how bad it bothered me, I kept replaying it in my mind.

"I'd watch out though lover boy, Calum's got his eyes on her. You might wanna back off."

I clenched my fist, my nails digging into my palm as I thought about the idea of Calum and Skylar as a couple. I clenched my jaw so hard it hurt. I can't let my Sky slip from me. Calum can't treat her better, I can. I know I can. I kept telling myself this, even if it wasn't true. I had to believe it. The beautiful Skylar Pierce was mine.

Calum can't treat her better. Calum can't treat her better.

I kept repeating it in my head until I grew a throbbing headache. Luckily, the bell rang, signaling the end of school for the day. I quickly grabbed all my books and shuffled into the crowded hallway and towards my locker.

After a few tries of attempting to open my locker, it finally popped open. I threw my books in there and quickly walked outside, immediately walking down the sidewalk towards my house.

*•*•*•*•

I threw my backpack on the floor and landed on my bed with a soft thud. I stared at the ceiling, still thinking of Skylar. That's nothing new though, for almost all summer and all year she's been clouding my thoughts. It's all about her now.

I sighed loudly and threw my pillow over my head. I groaned at my stupidity. Nice job, Luke. You're so whipped over your own best friend.

I slowly pulled myself up and grabbed my guitar from its stand and began strumming a few chords before beginning the song I learned years ago.

But now it means so much more to me. Because now I think of Skylar as I sing it.

I took a deep breath and began softly singing the chorus. Thinking of Skylar the whole time.

"And I can't live without you now,

Oh- oh

I can't even live with myself,

Oh- oh

And I can't live without you now,

Oh- oh

And I don't want nobody else,

Oh- oh."

Just as I was about to begin the next verse, one of my guitar strings snapped, sending the copper wire flying backwards as it sliced my finger resting on the neck of the guitar.

I threw my hand backwards and quickly slipped my finger into my mouth, hoping it would calm the burning sensation my finger was feeling.

I laid my guitar back on its stand, and dug through my nightstand for a bandaid. Once I finally found one, I realized how old it must be, considering it was a spongebob bandaid.

I quickly slipped my finger out of my mouth and opened the wrapper of the bandaid. The cool air hitting my open wound stung and I gasped. "Ow, fuck." I drew out the 'u' as I pressed the bandaid on my finger, covering the cut.

I sighed and laid down, pulling the blanket over me as I rested my head on my pillow. I thought about the throbbing sensation in my finger, but I also thought of Skylar.

I thought of her smile and her cute pink lips. I thought of her laugh and the way she would bite her lip when she concentrated on something. I soon fell asleep thinking of all the traits that Skylar had. The traits that made me fall hopelessly in love with her.

There's chapter 6! (: I hope y'all like it!

Vote and comment and I'll love you forever <3
