LUKE'S POV:
Should I be mad or sad?

Wait, why would I be sad?

Katy's alive! I should be happy, but for some reason I'm...not.

I almost confessed my feelings towards Lacey.
As if she'd actually like me back, I'm me.

I'm nothing special, I'm an average human, why would someone like her like someone like me?

I'm so damn stupid, I thought Katy died! I was supposed to be mourning my "dead" girlfriend.

Not hanging around with some other girl.

But Lacey isn't "some other girl," she's this amazing person that has yet to unveil all her talents and possible personalities.

Now I just feel like an asshole because I told her to leave.

Should I go after her or let her be?

Do I let go my only chance of happiness or do I just let it slowly wander away?

I'll go after my small chance of happiness.

I walked out of my room and bumped into Calum.

"Luke, what the fuck just happened?"

I shoved him away and hurriedly jogged downstairs, being careful on not tripping.

What if she went back to her own house?

I don't know where she lives, how will I find her? Plus I'd risk my life going into the walls.

But I'd risk anything.

I began to run towards the tree I saw her at last night, she might be there if she hasn't gone home yet.

I continued following the marked trees until I came up to the last marked bark of tree.

I looked to my left to see Lacey with her legs up to her chest, eyes red as she stared at something on the floor.

Her hazel eyes met my own and she looked back down onto the ground, apparently more interested on the leaves.

"L-Lacey," I chocked out, slowly kneeling down and scooting towards her.

"I'm sorry Luke!" She yelled, suddenly standing up.

"No you don't have to-"

"Yes I do, I lied to you about the 'love of your life.'"

"L-"

"Want me to bring her so you guys can live happily ever after? So you guys can live a perfect little life besides each other? I'll be out of the picture, I wouldn't want to be friends with me either...."

"But that's the thing-"

"Why are you even here, talking to me? Don't you 'hate' me?"

"I don't-"

"Don't lie to m-"

There was no other way to make her listen to me, so I stood up and pressed my lips against hers.

"You know," I chuckled, parting the connection between our lips. "There's this thing called 'moving on.' I think I've done that."

LACEY'S POV

He...kissed me.

Luke kissed me.

That was my first kiss...

"You know, there's this thing called 'moving on.' I think I've done that," Luke chuckled against my lips.

"N-no Luke, I can't," I said stepping away.

"Lacey, I don't hate you," he whispered.

I kept going back though, until my back hit the sturdy bark of a tree.

"Why are you so scared to accept something that comes so naturally?" He asked, referring to my feelings and emotions.

"E-emotions come with suffering a-and I'm not prepared to make that deal with myself," I responded.

"Emotions make us human," Luke remarked, slowly coming towards me.

"I was raised without emotions, it only makes sense that I grow old emotionless," I said, fighting back the urge to run.

"Why are you afraid to feel?" Luke asked softly,

I looked up at him, he was now slightly leaning over me and he had a hand propped up on the tree behind him.

"Why do you care so much?" I questioned.

Who would want to get involved with someone like me? I'm just a person with countless flaws and no personality whatsoever.

"Friends are supposed to care about one another," the corner of his lips rose and curved into a small smile.

"I-I like you Luke," I whispered. "But Katy..."

"I've moved on."

"Just-just give me time to think," I whispered.

He nodded and pulled me into a small hug, "see you soon." And with that Luke walked off and into the forest.

Once he left I let the smile I've been meaning to smile plaster onto my lips.

I put a finger up to my lips, tapping them gently.

We kissed.

My smile continued throughout the day, never leaving my face.

He did this, he made me smile.
