Money: Luke Hemmings

19

22nd of November 2015

'So does your boyfriend know about us?' Jake asked as he followed me to my English class.

'He isn't my boyfriend,' I mumbled. 'And yes he knows I slept with you and that you were in love with me.'

'See the funny thing is, I think that you were in love with me too,' Jake laughed and I groaned as I walked quickly through the corridors, Jake not getting the hint that I did not want to walk with him or be anywhere near him.

'Well you're obviously an idiot because that isn't true,' I said, lying straight through my teeth as we entered our English class. Unfortunately for me, I had no friends in this class, because I got hauled into the class of what the year level coordinator classified, 'the leftovers.' Basically she meant the people that transferred here late, which would be a much better definition of the class but each to their own I guess.

'You're right because we all know you aren't capable of loving anybody but yourself,' Jake laughed and I almost slapped him as we sat down next to Harry who already had his laptop open and was working on something.

'What are you two arguing about now?' Harry asked as he rolled his eyes at us.

'Jakes dumb,' I scoffed pulling out my laptop.

'Yeah we know this, but why are you arguing about it?' Harry asked.

'Because he seems to think I used to be in love with him,' I laughed, trying to disguise the fact that I actually was.

'Well I'm pretty sure you were Annabelle, you aren't exactly good at hiding your feelings,' Harry laughed and I felt my cheeks go red as I tried to play it off by looking for something in my bag.

'Oh my god, she is blushing! You never blush,' Jake laughed and I almost threw my water bottle at him and the only reason that I stopped was the sight of my English teacher walking into the room.

'So what was about me that you liked the most?' Jake asked as he followed me back to my room after our English class. 'Is it my hair or my eyes. It's definitely my abs isn't it?'

'Fuck off I didn't like you,' I said as we reached my door, Jake with a very prominent smirk on his face.

'Yes, you did.'

'No I did not Jake, so just drop it,' I sighed and he shook his head, closing my bedroom door behind me.

'Then why did you sleep with me? I seem to remember you saying you didn't want to have sex with people unless you have feelings for them.'

He was right. I was never one to have sex, let alone kiss another person unless I had feelings for them, but that all changed when my Mum passed away and I needed something to numb the pain.

'What are you trying to achieve here Jake?' I asked, more frustrated with him than I had ever been before.

'Because Belle I'm still in love with you and I know that once upon a time you felt the same way too,' Jake sighed leaning against my bed frame as I sat on my couch, wanting to stay far away from him.

'What do you want me to say, Jake? Yeah, I liked you okay but I wasn't in the right frame of mind to ever act on it.'

'Well what about now, do you actually like this Luke bloke or what?' Jake asked, a sort of unresolved look in his eyes.

'Yeah I like Luke,' I said simply, as there was no other way of saying it.

'Fuck sake he isn't a good guy Annabelle, everybody knows that!' Jake exclaimed, letting out a frustrated laugh at the end which threw me off slightly, as Jake was never one to get this riled up.

'What do you mean?' I asked. I knew that Luke used to sleep around a lot and could be a bit of an asshole but honestly, I haven't seen that side of him in a really long time.

'He's an asshole Belle! He's gonna sleep with you once and leave you straight after,' Jake said, causing me to roll my eyes at him. 'God please don't tell me that you have slept with him.'

'So what if I have?' I questioned. 'But if it's so important to you, no I haven't.'

'Please don't date him, I don't want to see you get hurt Annabelle,' Jake sighed and I just shook my head at him.

'You can't dictate who I date Jake, I'm the only person who can do that and if I'm gonna date Luke, then I'm gonna date, Luke.'

'Then why hasn't he asked you out already, hey? If I were him I would have asked you to be my girlfriend after our first date.'

'He said he wanted to take it slow, that he didn't want to rush things between us and make sure that everything was done right,'

'You know that is absolute bullshit, Annabelle. No boy, including myself, has ever wanted to take things slow with you,' Jake stated with a slight glare on his face.

'You do not get a say on how Luke and I go about this, so get the hell out of my room,' I scoffed and Jake just sighed but left in defeat, slamming the door behind him.

'For fuck sake,' I mumbled to myself before heading into my walk-in-wardrobe to change into a jumper and sweats, walking back out to find Luke sitting on my bed.

'Why was Jake in your room?' he blurted out and I just sighed, sitting down next to him, a worried look etched on his face.

'He thinks I was in love with him and still wants to be with me and thinks you're going to break my heart.'

'Were you in love with him? You told me that you weren't.'

I'm not sure how I got away with lying about something like that to Luke, as my true feelings are always on my face which frustrates me to no ends.

'Yeah I was in love with him once a upon a time,' I sighed and I felt the mood in the room instantly change, like Luke suddenly did not want to be around me anymore. 'I'm sorry for lying but I guess I was in denial, I don't really know how to handle my feelings correctly.'

'Get back to me when you know how to handle your feelings correctly then,' Luke scoffed, causing me to raise an eyebrow at him.

'What do you mean Hemmings?'

'What I mean Annabellle, is that you can't just pick and choose from boys when you feel like it. First it was Jake and then it was Calum and now it's supposedly me? We both agreed to take things slow and make sure everything was right and you have already lied to me about your feelings for someone else.'

'Luke don't do this,' I sighed, moving closer to me as he stood up, looking at me like I was the most disappointing thing going around.

'I'm done Annabelle,' he sighed. 'But I'm not even sure if there was anything to be done with at all.'
