Hour Twenty Seven

When we finished Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Luke had his head on my chest and I was watching his eyes slowly flutter shut. He was so cute when he was sleeping. I brushed a few strands of hair off his forehead and smiled as he completely passed out.

I started scrolling around on Tumblr as he slept, reblogging random things. Little notifications kept going off on my Skype, so I checked them to see who kept bothering me. More like Luke, since he'd left his Skype logged in on my computer. Acacia wanted to talk to him, so I kept ignoring them and continued scrolling through Tumblr. After a while she called, so I decided to answer so she'd leave Luke alone.

"Luke, baby- who the fuck are you?" Acacia asked when we were connected.

"What do you want?" I asked her. She saw Luke resting on my chest and smirked. "The sex mustn't have been good if he passed out before you."

"We just finished watching a movie," I snapped. "Why are you calling him?"

"Who are you, questioning me about my relationship with my boyfriend," Acacia snapped back. "Why are you even with him?"

"Because he's my boyfriend," I argued, feeling less and less confident than before. Was Luke cheating?

"Looks like he doesn't belong to either of us honey," she said. "Looks like he played us both. Bye." She hung up and left me sitting there, feeling shocked and hurt. Would Luke cheat on me with Acacia? I remembered the first time we'd spoken about her and he called her 'Cacia' and gotten all defensive over her. Was he still with her then? And now? Or was I just over thinking this?

Being in this elevator was a whole roller coaster ride. It wasn't like a regular relationship, where you had time to sort out your emotions alone. We were together all the time, and forced to face these hard decisions and complicated feelings head on.

Normally, I'd sit in my room for a few weeks and ignore everyone until I finally called Luke at three am and explode on him for cheating, then to find out if he was or wasn't. But right now? I didn't know what to do. I was so confused. I didn't want to bother Luke about it in case he wasn't cheating and this caused a huge fight, but at the same time I wanted to know. What if after we're out of here, Luke calls me one night to tell me he loves me right from her living room? I started to get sick to my stomach again, so I put on Breakfast At Tiffany's to try and distract myself. Ten minutes into the movie, I knew that wasn't going to work, so I decided to call Ashton. He answered almost immediately. "Lu- Oh hey Lily! What's up?"

"I need to ask you something," I said softly. Luke was still asleep on me, so I was trying to be as quiet as possible.
"Sure. Anything," Ash replied with a goofy grin.

"Do you think Luke's cheating?" I asked timidly.

"On you? Never," Ash replied. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to him. Why?"

"Acacia just called," I murmured. "She just Skyped and claimed she was still dating Luke. Do you know anything about that?"

"Haven't heard a word. But I'm sure it was just her wanting to get back with him. Don't even sweat it, Lil. I'm sure everything's fine."

"Yeah, I'm probably just over reacting," I muttered sheepishly. "Thanks Ash."

"No problem Lily," he smiled. "If you ever need anything, I'm here for you." I smiled at that and said goodbye before hanging up.

I'm just over reacting, I resolved. Acacia wanted to get a reaction out of me and I almost let her. I sighed through my nose and went back to Tumblr. That's when I saw that lots of Luke's fans were freaking out because he essentially disappeared off the face of the earth. I giggled a little before taking his phone and reading through all of his mentions.
