I awoke to the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen. I look around and realize I'm back in my bedroom. Luka must've carried me here. As I get up from my bed I rub my eyes , and let out a yawn. I carelessly step on my foot, and have a stroke of pain ride up my leg. "FUCK" i yell getting caught off gaurd. The events of last night's akuma attack come back into my mind.

"Isa are you okay?!" a frantic luka came into my room,"i'm fine i just-what are you wearing?" I ask as I take in his appearance. His dyed blue hair tied up with a small bow to keep it from falling over his face. The bright pink polka dotted apron he wore came undone as he came in.

"What? You don't think i can pull this off?" he asks as he strikes a pose, spatula in hand. He had the slightest bit of flour on his forehead, I giggled at how blissfully unaware of it he was."turn around doofus" i say a smile creeping on my face. As he turns around I reach out for the string to tie his apron together."There that's better '' I say as I start heading towards the kitchen luka trailing behind me, my eyes come across the small plate of pancakes and bacon sittin on the dining room table.

"I'll make us some milkshakes?" I start reaching for the cups on my cupboard when I hear the chime of a phone go off. I wait for his response but it never comes. "Luka?" I ask again, turning around to see him sitting on the counter, smiling at his phone.

"Actually Isa, i have to go. Marinette wants to go out for coffee" he says a blush creeping up on his face. HIs eyes shimmering at the mention of her name.

If only he felt that way towards me

"You really like her don't you ?" I ask, afraid of the answer that might come out of his mouth. I start picking the skin near my pointer finger. Anxiety creeps up on me even though I already know the answer to what he's about to say.

"She's amazing Isa, She's as clear as a music note, sincere as a melody. She's the song that's been stuck in my head since i've met her." he says drifting away from reality as if he's imagining her. The amount of love devours his words and crushes me.

Guilt washes over me. I should be happy for luka, he's finally found his muse. But the thought of it not being me crushes me.,even after all these years all i can do is love him from afar.

"I'm happy for you" I say looking everywhere but him. I couldn't bear looking into his eyes.

"Ima head out now, see you at practice" he said running into my bedroom to get his leather jacket.''What time is it again" i asked, trying to keep him to myself for at least a few more minutes. Selfish of me I know, but I can't help it."6:00, don't forget to bring your amp" he says as he reaches the door, eager to get to her. Before he leaves, he turns around and gives me a wave and a smile. "Be caref-"i start to say but he's already gone.

I stare at the two cups infront of me, it's always been just Luka & I. But now he has marinette. And I want to hate her, I want to despise her with all my might. But i just can't bring myself to do it. I sigh and place his cup back into the cupboard.

After I finish with my breakfast I stare at the chat noir themed clock on the dining room wall.

10:15 am

I should get ready for my gig. The akuma events might still be fresh but work is work. I change into my light gray Jagged Stone shirt and my white high waisted jeans. I stare at the bruises on my abdomen. I lighty trace my hand around them and wince at the pain. Then suddenly I remembered, I can barely walk. How am I going to get my equipment to the cafe. I let out a small sigh and started taking my amp and guitar out to the front of the apartment.

I reach for my phone and text Maddie.

Hey, meet me at krazy karls in 20 :)

I lock the door and swing my guitar case over my shoulder. I hadn't even noticed I hit someone during the process.. "Humph" i turned around and saw a tall figure doubling over in pain."i'm so sorry" i say putting my guitar case down and helping the man steay himself. He looks up and his grey eyes meet mine."Evan, im so sorry i didn't see you" he lets out a breath and chuckles "Got a pretty hard swing there bells".
