                                                  "hello, Mrs Hemmings?" 
                              "oh Lexie hi, please call me Liz" I could hear her laughing on the other end of the phone, but I weren't 
                              "can I come over today?, if that's okay" 

                              "I'll check with him, just a minute" a few minutes went by before she returned and I already knew the answer to my question "he's not up to it today, I'm sorry maybe tomorrow?" 
                              "it's been maybe tomorrow for a couple of weeks, is it me?" 
                              "of course not, the doctor said this is normal, just give him some more time" I'm fed up of giving him time
                              "okay, well I'll leave you to it, goodbye" 
                              "goodbye Lexie" 
                              That's been the conversation with Luke's mum for the past two weeks. For the past two weeks he has been refusing to see me, when he first went home I'd go round to his and he would literally kick me out, but then after a few days he started to ignore me and then he wouldn't let me come in, so I now I phone each day to see if he will let me come, but each he says no and each day his mum says 'maybe tomorrow' but I know it won't be. I've text him a couple of times, just to see if he'll answer but he never does. Sometimes I think I should just go over there and make him listen to me, make him talk to me but I know it wouldn't be any use, he'd just hate me even more, so I'll wait, I'll wait and wait until he's ready. 
                              From : Marley Have you seen Luke yet? 
                              To : Marley Nope, his mum said he's 'not ready' so I'm still waiting xx
                              From : Marley That's bullshit because Michael and the other guys have been over, Lex you should just go to his, it's been nearly three weeks he can't hide forever 
                              She's right, Marley is perfectly fine now so why isn't he? The guys have been over to see him so why can't i? I might as well go now, no time like the present. Now that I'm on his doorstep I'm regretting it, the worst he can do is dump me right, and these days I don't even know if we're together anymore, we don't act like it. He went from calling me his girlfriend one day and then calling me for all kinds the next. I knocked on the door, loud enough so someone could hear, it worked because someone came to the door who I can only assume was his brother as they were practically identical. 
                              "can I help you?" 
                              "erm yeah, is Luke home?" he seemed hesitant about answering, but he did
                              "yeah he is, you must be Lexie" I nod, he gestures me to come an I do, "I'll take you to his room, he's in there, he's not expecting you is he?" I shake my head, "I thought not, he's being a really dick to you, I'm surprised you've even turned up here" 
                              "well, I couldn't wait forever" 
                              "he's in there" I say thanks to him and he leaves. I'm left standing in front of Luke's door, unsure of whether to knock or just barge in and let it all out. I decide to knock. I hear footsteps and I brace myself before the door opens, 
                              "Lexie, what are you doing here?" he stands there gobsmacked, what I expected
                              "we're going to talk Luke, you've ignored me for nearly three weeks and I want to know why? So we're going to talk, whether you like it or not" the look on his face was priceless, but he reluctantly let me in.
