Just Saying // Luke Hemmings (Complete)

Chapter 8

Emma's P.O.V

It's been 2 days since I broke up with Calum.

I started school yesterday and it was super awkward. Me and Calum never told anyone about what had happened and that we'd split up. The only person who knew was Luke. Michael, Louise and Charlotte kept introducing me as 'Calum's Girlfriend' to every person I met. I just wanted to scream every time I was called that.

I was in most of Luke's classes, which I was very thankful for. Me and Luke have gotten really close since Saturday. I spent most of Sunday crying to him over the phone and he was really supportive. I also sat next to him in our classes together, we'd gotten in trouble a few times for chatting. Our teachers said that I was becoming a 'bad influence' on Luke but I didn't really care.

Luke also helped me avoid Calum as much as possible, taking me away from the group when Calum would appear. Also, I found out the girl Calum had cheated on me with, Hunter, was in the classes we all were in and she couldn't keep her hands off Cal, especially when I was near.

I was standing at my locker putting a few books away when I heard someone lean against the locker next to me. To my surprise, I looked over to see Calum, probably the last person I wanted to see today.

"Hi..." Calum said slowly.

"What do you want Calum?" I bluntly asked.

"Look Emma. Can we just go somewhere and talk? I hate what I did to you, I don't want to loose you." Calum said, clearly trying to swollow the lump in his throat.

"Okay, fine. We can talk after school today. Meet me at the pizza place." I said, getting a nod in reply from Calum before I grabbed my things and headed to my next class.

I arrived at the pizza place where I was meant to meeting Calum. What a surprise, he was late. I wouldn't be surprised if he had stood me up to be fair.

I decided to take a seat in the booth we all sat in the first time I met Luke and the gang. Just as I hit the seat my phone buzzed in my pocket.

Hey where are you? I thought we were meant to be chilling at mines after school? xxx

Shit! I forgot I said to Luke that I'd spend the evening with him.

OMG! I'm so sorry! I totally forgot. I'm actually at the pizza place. I said I'd meet Calum to 'talk' xxx

WHAT?! Why are you meeting Calum? He's such a waste of time Em xxx

Luke! He's you're friend! I just wanted to hear what he had to say for himself. I'll meet you soon, doesn't look like he's going to show anyway...xxx

Just as I sent that last text to Luke, I heard someone sit down opposite me, causing me too shoot my head up.

"You're late." I said to Calum, who was opposite me.

"Sorry, I um, got held up at school." Calum slightly stuttered.

"Let me guess, you where with your slut?" I said, loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear.

"She's not a slut Emma. She didn't know about you." Calum said sighing.

"Yeah you just forgot to mention that you had a girlfriend, so you shouldn't have been doing anything with her?" I said with annoyance in my voice.

"Emma I really am sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you." Calum said quickly.

I sighed. "I have other plans that I had to change so we could 'talk'. So you have two minutes to speak and then I'm leaving." I said calming down slightly. I just really didn't want to around Calum anymore.

"Okay. Emma, I really am sorry, you have to know that. I guess, because we spent so much time together in the summer, I hated not having someone next to me all the time when I came home. I didn't mean to hurt you, I just got lonely and I was being selfish, You have every right to hate me, but you have to know Hunter means nothing to me. I love you."

"It's too late Calum, I'm sorry." I said, not able to look Calum in the eye.

I stood up from the table and walked towards the door. As I reached the door I turned round to have one last look at Calum. He was looking down at his lap, he looked genuinely upset, making me feel terrible.

As I headed home, I pulled my phone out my pocket to check. I had 3 texts from Luke.

Did he show? xxx

I guess he did... xxx

I hope you're ok xxx

I felt a tear run down my cheek as I read the texts from Luke. The truth is, I'm really not ok...

I'm not okay...come to your door...xxx
