Luke's P.O.V-

I wake up with the biggest smile on my face. Today was the day that Maddie and I were going to the beach to write songs together, after school of course.

"LUCAS" I hear my brother shout and I get up. Jack was home! I hadn't seen him in 3 weeks as he went on holiday with his fiancé.

I run downstairs and find him holding Zoe, his daughter. I give him a hug, not disturbing Zoe who was currently asleep.

"I missed you Luke!"

"I missed you! How was Spain?"

"Great! Zoe loved it and so did Celeste"I smile. His family was so cute and I was so happy to be apart of it.

"Aww that's good"

"Anything exciting happen while I was gone?" He raises his eyebrows, it's like he knew about Maddie.

"Maybe..."

"Ohhh! I want to know!"

"I may or may not be dating someone"

"WHAT?! You have your first girlfriend?"

"Well not exactly, were only dating. I'm going to ask her to be my girlfriend tonight"

"Awwww Luke!" He puts Zoe in her bed.

"Don't tell mum! She doesn't know yet" He nods and gives me a giant hug. I loved Jack's hugs, they were so comforting.

"I have to get ready for school"

"Can't you have a day off? Spend time with me!" He pleads just as my mum walked in.

"No he can't, his exams are very important and they're only 2 months away"

"Sorry I asked" He smiles and hugs her. She looked so happy to see him again which made me really happy.

I walk upstairs and get ready for school. I get changed really fast and eat breakfast quickly. I hear a knock at the door just as I pull my bag up. I see Jack make his way to the door.

"Uh, I'll get it" I smile as I know it's Maddie.

"Girlfriend?" He whispers.

"Not yet" I smirk and he opens the door. Her eyes open wide and I make my way to her. "This is Maddie. Maddie this is Jack" I say and they shake hands.

"It's nice to meet you Maddie" She nods to Jack and he looks confused.

"I'm going to walk with Maddie to school, see you later Jack" I say and shut the door.

We walk to school closely, my hand grabbing hers. I hear her giggle and I face her.

"What?" I ask, smiling at how cute she was.

"You're just so sweet" She smirks and kisses my cheek.

"Oh stop" I joke making her smile.

We walk into the school and find Calum with Anna. As usual, they were being all cute together.

"MADDUKE"

"Madduke?" I ask.

"It's your ship name" Calum smirks.

"Oh yeah, madd for Maddie, uke for luke" I say and Maddie releases my hand. I watch as Jack and Matt walk over to us.

"Well, if it isn't hemmo and freak" They all laugh and I can tell it affects Maddie. I move a little closer to her, trying to protect her from them.

"Leave us alone. We haven't done anything to you"

"Oh but see, you have" He smirks as he grabs both my arms, stopping me from moving. They grab Maddie's waist and I try to break free.

"MADDIE" I scream but she get carried away. I look into her eyes and instead of sadness, all I see is hate.

"Get the fuck off me" She says and the whole school stops.

"She spoke?" They all murmur. I get really scared as I could see she was angry, she hated hearing that word and now she was saying it.

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME BEFORE I KICK YOU IN THE BALLS YOU DICK" She yells and they back away.

"Maddie-" I begin but she cuts me off.

"I'm done. I'm over this and I'm over you. You all push and shove me because I'm different well, you win. I'm going"

"Maddie!" I shout.

"If you cared about me at all, you'd let me go Luke" She says closing her eyes, her tears flowing down her cheeks.

She walks out of the school gate, not a single sound is made. I feel weird as they release me and everyone looks straight at me.

"Lesson 1 guys?" I say to Calum and Anna who looked just as shocked as everyone else.

"Luke-"

"LESSON 1" I shout trying to hide my feelings and walk to maths which was first. I turn to see the entire school staring at me.

"Luke, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make her leave-"

"Save it Matt. If you were sorry, you wouldn't have bullied her every single day of her life"

"I..."

"Leave me alone. Everyone" I say and turn away from maths. I close my eyes to keep my tears from falling.

"Luke, where are you going?" I hear Michael say.

I continue to walk, ignoring Michel until I reach my house. I see no sign of Maddie which hurts me even more. I unlock the door and my brother gets up and walks over.

'What are you doing home? You have your exams to prepare for" He jokes until he sees I'm upset. I begin to cry my eyes out and he comforts me.

"Jack, I hate everyone"

"What happened?" He says looking at me confused.

"They all bullied Maddie and she left"

"What?"

"She said she was done. She's not coming back Jack" I hug him again as I hear him release a sigh.

"I'm sure she only said that in rage, she'll be at school tomorrow" I nod.

"I hope so"

"Come on, I'll cheer you up" He makes popcorn and sits me in front of the TV. This was why I loved him.
