I look over Michael's shoulder to see a tall, skinny figure. I almost don't recognize him. His hair is flat and messy and he's wearing a random blue tanktop and sweatpants. His eyes are red and so is his nose. It's Luke.

"She's on the couch, be careful with her, she-"

Luke doesn't even stop to listen to the rest of Michael's words. He pushes past him and spots me. He practically runs over and goes to hug me, but I tense and he catches himself. He looks at me and I can see that he truly hasn't slept or done anything but cry in the past hours.

"Olivia," he breathes. I hate seeing him like this. He's so vulnerable and it isn't normal.

"Luke..." I frown. I take my hand out of my cocoon and brush his hair with my fingers. He watches me with big eyes and a pout. Please don't cry. I can't bare it.

"It deflated..." he whimpers. His lip quivers and the dam bursts. He starts crying and hugs me as tight as he can. Tears well up in my eyes.

"It wasn't me. I promise you it wasn't. It was her." He cries. My own tears threaten to spill. "I love you so damn much and I can't loose you because of her! This can't happen! It doesn't happen!" I hold him tighter and start crying at his words.

"We're supposed to be together. She isn't going to tear us apart. I'm too in love with you to let her. I don't care if you truly think I did it. If you know how much I love you, you know I wouldn't." He says. He notices I'm crying and pulls himself together and holds me, wiping my tears.

"Maybe I never told you or showed you how much I love you. But... Do you remember the song I wrote you?" He asks softly. More tears escape my eyes and I nod.

"I'm working on another one. About us. I've been working on it since you came over. It isn't ready yet, but that's because I'm waiting to have more memories with you." He tells me. I bury my head in his shoulder. He continues.

"And there's a few others that I'm writing. They're about you. One is done. It's called Don't Stop. I wanted to show you it at the party. We were going to perform it..." he says sadly. That makes me feel awful. I hug him tighter.

"My God... How did we end up here?" Luke says softly. I cry into his shoulder and shake my head.

"I don't know." I whisper. I just want it to be normal. I just want to be his and none of this to be affecting us. He pulls away a little and wipes my eyes.

"I'm going to fix this. I'm going to take care of Sabrina. She won't mess with us again. I promise." He tells me. I nod and kiss his lips softly. He grins and pulls back for a second.

"Does this mean we're back?" He chuckles. I pout my lip in thought. "Maybe..."

He laughs and kisses me a million times. I laugh too. I missed him a lot.

Michael watches us from the corner and smiles. I mouth a 'thank you' to him. He nods and leaves us alone.

Luke and I cuddle up on the couch with the blanket wrapped around us. He goes to turn on the TV, but I stop him. "I want to hear you sing."

He holds me tightly and sings songs to me. They're sweet and soft. I don't recognize them, but I don't care. His voice is so soothing and I end up falling asleep to it.

[L U K E]

Once Olivia is asleep, I go over to Michael. "What are you going to do about Sabrina?" He asks. I fish my phone out of my pocket and find her number. "I'm going to set her straight."

I press the phone icon and wait for her to answer. She sounds proud of herself when she does answer. It makes me sick.

"Finally giving in, Lucas?" She says deviously. I don't let her get any more satisfaction.

"I want you to lose my number. I want you to never utter another word to me or Olivia or any of our friends. In fact, I want you to tell your parents you want to move schools. I want you to tell them that you are bored there and want to move somewhere else. I swear to God if I ever see you or hear from you again, I will tell everyone about that little secret you tried so hard to keep covered." I say calmly. The line is quiet for a few seconds after I'm finished.

"You'd ruin me." She says quietly. I smirk a little, a little ashamed at how much pleasure I get from this. But she deserves it. She ruined a good year of my life and tried to tear up me and the one I love.

"Yeah. Like you tried to do to me." I say. There's another pause.

"I'll leave. You won't know I ever continued existing." With that, the line dies. Michael looks at me with wide eyes.

"I did what I had to do for her." I say.

Once again, I'm questioning what lead us here.
