Song for Isabelle *A Luka Couffaine Love story*

Chapter 10

Lukas POV

It's been a week since ive seen isabelle...as luka. Viperion on the other hand has been seeing Isabelle every single night. And I know it is wrong using my alter ego to make things right between my civilian self and her but...i just have no other choice. She stopped responding to my text messages and she left our group chats. Not to mention she left the band. I miss seeing her as luka, I miss the warm hugs she gave. I miss the times sitting on her couch braiding her hair while she dozed off. But what i miss most of all is the smile she had just for me.

"Hey hey hey little lady" I say as I land on Isabelle's balcony. She stood leaning against the railing, her head leaning against her hand. "Hey there Nagini" she said softly, not bothering to take her eyes off the Eiffel tower. Her sweet hazel eyes now looked red and puffy. Her small red nose was an indication that she'd been crying and my heart hurts knowing that i've put her in this situation. So without thinking I wrap my arms from behind her and nuzzle my head in the crook of her neck, I could feel her small frame tense up and I start to wonder if I've pushed my luck. How is it possible that she's so close yet she feels so far. I feel my warm tears roll down my face and I want her to hold me.

"Sass, scales off" I whisper softly and I feel my transformation wear off. "Viperion what are you-" she starts to say but i cut her off by holding her closer and letting my tears hit her shoulder."Im sorry, i just needed you to hold me..not viperion...but me"i say barely above a whisper. I feel her begin to turn around and my heart stops knowing that my identity could be revealed..she'd hate me if she found out I'm luka. This was so stupid, im an idiot. I looked down to see that she's now facing me, her eyes remained closed.

"Don't worry, I won't peek"she says with a small smile appearing on her face. She reaches her hand up and tries to find my face before cupping my cheek. I cup her hand and nuzzle into it my heart coming up to my throat. The tears begin to spill again and she pulls my head towards her, our foreheads touching each other. "It's okay, im here" her voice was as soft as a music note and once again like gravity I'm getting pulled into her lips.

"Viperion.."she whispers before I could get close enough to kiss her. I shake my head slightly... "i don't want to be him right now...not to you at least," I say holding her hair in my hands.

"Lets go inside yeah?" she says taking her hands and putting them in mine. "I just uhh..im going to need a little help knowing where i'm going" she says a small chuckle leaving her lips.

"Okay be careful'' I say as I reached down and picked her up bridal style. Having her so close to me I began to wonder if she could feel my heartbeat racing a thousand miles per minute. "Do I uh..lay you down on the bed" I say, I'm grateful for her eyes being closed otherwise she would be able to see my red face. "Yeah that's fine" she says softly. As i set her down i watch as she begins to feel around and get comfortable. Once she's ready she opens her arms up signaling me to come closer. I climb into bed next to her and snake my arm around her waist while I lay my head on her chest. "So what's wrong?" she asks, running her hand through my hair. "I-ive messed up bad '' I say, my voice breaking a bit. "I hurt the person i love and i don't know what i can do to make it better...i was so stupid..i regretted saying what i said the minute the words left my mouth...im such a fucking idiot" "i lost my everything...over what? The fear of ruining our friendship?...not that i did anything to help it either" i say my tears landing on her shirt..and i begin to wonder if i'm making her uncomfortable.

"You know i know exactly where you're coming from...a few days ago i had a falling out with my best friend..we argued and i lashed out on him.." she chuckles a bit in between sentences "i took all of his clothes and threw them at him.." I looked up at her and saw that her eyes remained closed but the smallest tear still ran down her cheek. "What did he do to make you so angry" I say..knowing full well what i did wrong. "Well for starters he disappeared for about a week without telling anyone..his family was worried sick for him..not to mention i hadn't stopped looking for him...turns out my other friend knew where he was the whole time..and knew i was worried but didnt even bother to tell me that he was okay...so when i saw him i just blew up..then he has the nerve to say im not his girlfriend so i shouldn't care where he is ....the fucking asshole after everything weve been together...ughh and he showed up at my home talking about "dont leave the band" like motherfucker!? What about me..." she says, her voice raising a bit as she finishes.."wow sounds like a real asshole" i mumble.."you must hate him" i say looking at her nightstand. "That's the thing even though i should...i can't stop loving him" her sudden confession takes me off guard and i sit up straight to look at her face. "You-you love him?..like a friend right?" I say my heart beating faster than ever.
