change [luke]

home (READ END NOTE)

You know that feeling you get when you see a magazine and your celebrity crush is on the first page with his lips touching some random Hollywood girls? And the title reads that they're dating but you refuse to believe it. Even though you had never met them once in your life you were madly in love with them. It made your heart pinch, your stomach drop and even made your eyes sting with tears that you so desperately tried to hold back.

That's the feeling I got when Luke smiled embarrassingly down at his newly formed partner.

"You two are cute makes me wanna throw myself out a window" Geordie sighed, resting her elbow on a table behind her. I couldn't even speak, I just stared at the floor ahead of me. Everyones voice was like a whirlwind behind me and all I could hear was that one sentence being repeated in my head over and over. Until all of a sudden I shot my head up and sent everyone a small smile.

"It's been nice talking to you guys.. But I need to find Michael. So I'll talk to you all later. See you tomorrow Ash... oh and Luke" I sent them all a small wave and a reassuring grin before stalking out the kitchen door. As I stepped closer towards the front door of the house the tears built up more and more in my eyes. I found Michael easily, he was standing by a coat rack with a red haired girl, they seemed to be engrossed in a conversation so I decided to keep walking and not disturb him. But my, so I thought, low profile didn't exactly work and I felt a small tug from the back of my crop top. I swivelled around, my face now wet with tears to face a worried Michael. He bit his lip and shrugged off his jacket, handing it to me and escorting me out the front door, dropping his empty bottle on the floor on the way out.

Once we reached a secluded area down the street from the party I sat on the crispy grass and threw my head in my hands. Michael sat beside me, scooting closer so he could pull me into his lap. A loud sob racked my body. I felt Michael pull my hair away from my face and he started stroking it.

"I'm sorry Aimi. He doesn't know what he's doing" Michael sighed. I sniffed putting my head up and wiping my eyes.

"Did you know they were going out?" I mumbled using the sleeves of Michael's hoodie to wipe my face.

"I saw you standing with them and then I heard Coady mention them going out" Michael looked at me sympathetically. I shook my head in disbelief.

"I was so stupid to believe that he was actually interested in me. That girl Aleisha is amazing like I hate to admit it but that bitch is so fucking nice" I sighed. Michael let out a loud chuckle his grip tightening around my shoulders. I laughed along with him for a moment before it fell quiet again.

"It was a stupid crush anyways you know? It doesn't matter"

But it did matter. It mattered a lot. The people we care about getting hurt the most are the exact people that end up hurting us. I know Luke had only entered my life less than two weeks ago but he always had made a mark. How could I ever forget about him? He gave me this unexplainable feeling in the pit of my stomach, I only ever heard about this feeling before in novels and Nicholas Sparks movies. He was endlessly absorbing. He could explain the colour beige to me or tell me every number from one to a thousand and I would still sit and listen in absolute admiration. He made me feel whole. Ever since I was fourteen I felt lost. Incomplete. I don't know what it is but Luke made me feel like I was complete again. He made me feel at home. Maybe Luke was home. But I know now that Luke never ever experienced these feelings towards me in any way whatsoever. And I wouldn't blame him.

Because who would pick a moth when you could have a beautiful butterfly?
