Confusion

****

The movie has finished now. Most of it consisted of meeting, kissing, fighting, making up, and that's about it. Luke and I mostly ignored the screen, luke would actually rather look into my eyes, I don't know if he thinks that I'll kiss him, but I promised my friends I wouldn't, even if he's hard to resist.

"That was an interesting movie." Luke chuckles.

I roll my eyes. "We hardly watched it."

He nods. "I know, but I kind of watched it."

I giggle. "Whatever you say." We stand up and walk out of the cinema. Lukes hands hold mine, as we stop on the sidewalk.

He smiles. "Thanks for coming tonight."

I let out a small smile.

"Are you alright?" Luke asks, seeing me look down at my feet.

I nod. "Mhm." I look away from luke, but his tips of his fingers turn my face to his.

"You don't seem like it." He pauses. "What's wrong?"

I sigh, trying to put a smile on my face, trying to hide the secret I know. "Nothing. I'm fine, really." I lie.

Luke frowns. "That's what most girls say."

"But I am." I lie again.

"You're not." Luke lifts up my chin, his blue sparkling eyes meet mine again, this time, I look deeply into them, trying to find any secrets or tricks he may be hiding. I used to be good at doing that, finding what people are hiding, I did it to bethany all the time when I was younger. Still, there's nothing. Were Kenna and Bethany lieing to me? I doubt it.

I grab his hand and put it to his sides. Trying to get him to stop talking about if I'm fine or not, sure its generous, but I don't want to do anything with luke, right now at least.

"Luke, look. I like you, I do, I need to get that out, but I'm not going to do anything just yet. I need to tell you that and-"

Luke inturrupts. "What do you mean?" He asks.

I frown. "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

He shakes his head. "No, not really."

Shit. Did I just ruin all this?

"Oh uh. Nevermind then." I try walking past him, but he just pulls me back. I feel his strong arms pull me near him.

"What is it? Did I do something?" Luke asks confused.

I shrug. "I don't know, my friends are just-"

"Your friends said something about me?" Luke inturrupts me with a frown.

I nod "Yeah. I just don't know who to believe."

Luke sighs. "Is this about that girl that I left?"

"More then just 'left'." I groan.

"I know, I didn't mean to."

I scoff. "Yeah, right."

Luke bites his lip, fiddling around with his lip ring. In some ways I actually feel bad for luke, I know, I shouldn't, but he probably feels bad. I just want to get more of a story out of him, about this.

"I got a lot of hate when it happened." Luke says softly.

"What do you expect? Everyone comforting you?"

Luke shakes his head, running his fingers through his hair. "They don't know the whole story, no one does."

I shrug. "Why didn't you tell them?"
