I made my way to luke's house. I had sent the text about a week ago and he never replied. I knocked on the door only to have his mom answer the door.
"michael? i thought that was you." she looked at me and saw my tear stained cheeks. "oh, would you like to come in?" i mumbled a "sure" and she moved aside to let me in.
we sat down on the table and asked if i wanted tea. "no thanks." i said.
"michael," she paused for a second, "luke has beed taking your break up very harsh. he leaves the house at around 12 in the morning and doesn't come home until around 8. he gets drunk and he barricades himself in his room. I've never seen him this broken. He loves you so much and you know that."
i couldn't find the words to say. she put her hand on mine, " michael, please just make things right with him, please." She begged.
i nodded and sat there awkwardly.

as i walked out of luke's house, i could see him walking down the street. "luke! hey, luke!" he looked up from the ground and i ran up to him. "oh, michael. What're you doing here?" he looked at me with his blood shot eyes. I believe he was drunk or high but i wasn't sure which.
"Luke, i'm sorry. i wrote this huge text apologizing and talking about my love for you, but it's not the same as saying it to your face. luke i'm so angry at myself for being such an ass. i didn't want to hurt you. i just wanted you to have someone better. i don't deserve you. i love you more than life itself. i love you more than myself... i love you and i'm sorry. goodbye luke." i kissed his cheek slightly and i walked away.
it was simple, but hopefully it worked. i love him so much. i continue to love him whilst he's completely upset with me.
"michael, wait!" he grabbed my hand. "what do you mean by "goodbye", michael?" i shrugged my shoulders. "i just assumed that you'd never want to talk to me again." but then he pecked me on the lips. it was the single most simple, but meaningful kiss i'd ever had.
"i love you to, michael." he put his hand in mine. "Please don't go." I whipped the tears from his cheeks and whispered, "never."
(a/n:)
i finally got to a point in the story and i was like "michael and luke need to get together again"
