The Funeral Of Hearts.

Chapter 29.

"The Funeral Of Hearts" - HIM.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hazel's POV

I saw him.

Everything was getting slightly better with Ashton and Mike around, the two of them constantly making me laugh, which made me forget about the certain blonde.

But not for too long.

He looked crushed, to say the least. When our eyes met across the room, I could see sadness floating in them. His hair was in an usual quiff, though slightly disheveled and his teeth wouldn't stop grazing his bottom lip, as if he's nervous about something. The blonde by his side was obviously busy blabbering about something, but he paid no attention to her.

I quickly dropped my gaze, focusing it back on Ashton, as he sent me a knowing look.

''You should talk to him, ''

I frowned, crossing my arms together, ''Why should I? Ashton, it's over, build a bridge and get over it. He obviously likes her if he chose her over me, ''

''Stop using the 'over' word, please, '' Michael groaned, nudging me slightly, getting a chuckle from me.

''Hazel, '' Ashton grabbed my attention again, ''Don't you see how miserable he looks? He literally can't take his eyes off you this whole time.''

I huffed.

''Yeah, sure. Why would he look at me when she's sitting next to him? Ashton, just stop, alright?''

Ash sighed tiredly, ''You both are gonna regret this so damn much...'' he mumbled and I chose to ignore him.

The rest of the day went quickly. And before I knew it, I was home, seated in front of T.V. with a bag of chips in my hands as How I Met Your Mother Played. I don't even know why I was watching the show, it did nothing except remind me of him and I didn't want to be reminded of him. But, I couldn't be bothered to switch the channel, so I kept stuffing my mouth with chips as if there's no tomorrow.

That was when my annoying doorbell was heard.

I decided to let it ring and that whoever is at the door, will eventually stop and get the memo that I'm not in mood for anything. Or just not home.

But, today wasn't my lucky day, since the person was literally raping my poor doorbell, so I had to intervene as I ambled towards the front door, yelling random profanities at the insensitive bastard behind the door.

''What?'' I snapped, swinging the door open.

Michael stood with his arms folded on his chest, eyes focused on me as he examined my appearance.

''Hello to you too, Hazel, '' he spoke, letting a smile overtake his features.

I sighed, returning one as I moved to the side.

''Come in, '' I told him tiredly, closing the door as I walked inside after him.

''How I Met Your Mother? Nice, '' he commented, settling onto my couch.

I plopped next to him.

''I know right. Chips?'' I mumbled, offering him the bag.

Michael gladly grabbed a handful, stuffing his mouth as he smiled at me.

I laughed. ''That's my man, ''

The rest of the afternoon was spent with the two of us just mopping around the place, mostly eating and playing some old video games I didn't even know I had in my possession.

''Damn. That was one hell of a great time we had, right Hazel?'' Michael mumbled as the two of us lied together on my kind-sized bed, our sides touching.

I nodded vigorously.

''You got that right, Clifford, '' I smiled as I let our eyes meet, realising the distance between us.

''Hazel?'' he muttered, eyes flickering down to my lips for a second.

I hummed in response, my breathing slow as my heart started beating against my ribcage.

''Have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?'' he asked and I proceeded to shake my head, ''Well, I'm telling you now.''

And just like that, we were kissing.

Luke's POV

2 months later...

''I'll see you later, bye babe, '' Aleisha squealed as she placed a kiss to my cheek, quickly walking away as I waved.

I sighed, turning to my locker, grabbing my books before I slammed it shut. I shuffled down the busy hallway, not even paying attention to anyone.

And that eventually resulted in me bumping into someone.

''Oh my God, I'm sorry, '' a female voice exclaimed, my eyes widening at the redhead standing in front if me. She was obviously dumbfounded because she took a step back, clearing her throat.

''Luke, '' she mumbled, acknowledging me.

In these past two months, we haven't spoken not even once. Sure, we saw one another everywhere, like on rehearsals, in school's canteen, at parties. She'd always be there, not only because Ashton is her best friend, but also because she's actually dating my band mate. You guessed it, Michael.

They were inseparable. Everywhere I went, I'd see them together. They never left each other's sides and always seemed so happy, I wanted to puke. They'd always be all cuddly and lovey-dovey, making me think what would've happened if I didn't throw her away because of Aleisha.

I tried to smile at the girl standing in front of me, but I'm afraid it only came out as a grimace.

''Hazel, hi. Um, what's up?'' I finally spat, my eyes scanning her whole appearance.

She looked so freaking great. Her whole demeanour screamed that she's better off without me and that being with Michael brought her happiness and incredible satisfaction. On one hand, I was kinda happy for her, because she deserved it. But on the other hand, my selfishness overpowered my senses and I wished she was that happy - but with me.

But it's not like it matters because, let's face it; I lost her, once and for all.

Hazel looked kind of surprised at my blunt saying. She hesitantly answered.

''Um... everything's good. Yeah. Uh, how about you?''

I only shrugged.

''Same old, ''

We kind of just stood like that for a while, awkwardly staring away from one another, as I raked my brain for something to say. But, it was blank, nothing came up and I wanted to punch myself for it.

''Uh, it was nice seeing you, but I'm kinda late for class...'' she trailed and I proceeded to do a quick nod and mumble a 'yeah', before she was sprinting away, clutching books to her chest.

A humongous sigh fell off my lips as I spun around, starting to make my way to the first period, my brain still stuck on the beautiful redhead and her gorgeous green eyes that literally bore into my soul. And I swear, it hurt.
