"Luke. he..he broke up with me." I whispered as I sat down next to Luke on his bed again. "Oh no. Come here, sweety." he whispered back while he pressed my head against his chest.

"I am always doing something wrong. Always." I cried quietly. "No, no, you don't. You're just trying to make everyone happy and without noticing you're making yourself the most unhappiest girl. Try to please yourself first, you have to be a bit selfish sometimes."

I wanted to say something but I couldn't. I swallowed and Luke lifted up my chin. "Smile." he said. I tried to. "That wasn't a real smile." I tried again. "A bit better. And now smile as bright as you usually do. It's so stunning." This really made me smile. I looked down and then up again. Luke's face was close to mine and there was some kind of suspense. His eyes made me melt inside and so did that little smile he had on his lips. I bit my lip and came a bit closer to him. I put my hand in his neck and pulled him a bit closer. "What are you doing?" Luke whispered. I shook my head. "Dunno."

Luke came closer but whispered "Don't, please. We shouldn't.." at the same time. I closed my eyes and so did Luke. I felt his breath brushing against my lips. Suddenly someone opened the door and scared me. I pulled back and got nervous. My hands were playing with each other and I looked at Doctor Kenny who just came in.

"Calm down, it's none of my buissness, Holly." He winked and smiled before he turned to Luke. "Mr. Brooks. I'm really glad to say that you seem to be alright. Do you feel any pain?" Luke shook his head. "Everything's perfectly alright." We all smiled. "Glad to hear that. And I think you'll be happy to hear that you can go home tomorrow in the morning."

"Indeed, I'm happy to hear that, Doctor Kenny." Luke said politely and smiled at me. "If you don't have any questions now I'll tell the nurses to prepare everything."

"I actually have a question." I said. Both looked at me and Doctor Kenny said "Go ahead!"

"And be honest, please."

"Always."

"Is there any possibility that -whatever was wrong with Luke- that it might... you know.. come back?"

"He didn't have any illness, 'just' an accident so I don't think he'll have a stomach ache or something similar again. He may not be hungry tomorrow and it might hurt a bit when someone is a bit 'ungentle' with his stomach but otherwise it should be fine."

"Okay, thank you so much." I smiled while Doctor Kenny was already halfway gone.

"Do you want to go home now? I'm sure you're tired." Luke said.

"Yeah, it's probably the best if I'll go now. I need a shower anyway." Actually Luke and I both knew that we needed some space. The kiss would have been.. wrong. I gave Luke a quick hug before I grabbed my stuff.

As I was just about to open the door Luke said "Avoid Jai for today. He needs some time to think I guess. I'll talk to him when I'm home. And tell mom to pick me up tomorrow. I'll give her a call when everything's done here."

"I will. Bye, see you tomorrow." I tried to smile. "Bye." He said and I closed the door behind me.

I was lucky to catch the next bus home. I went in and realized I was alone. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. "Hey mom, tomorrow you can pick our Lukey up! He'll give you a call when he's ready. Love you, Holly xo"

I went upstairs in my room and threw my phone on my bed. I saw one of Jai's shirts on the floor. I quickly looked away, trying to forget he was not my boyfriend anymore. I ran downstairs again and then outside. I took a walk. I didn't know where I was going, I was just...taking a walk.

Jai's POV

"you dumb little idiot. You'll never find someone like her again." I whispered to myself as I came back from the gym. I was all sweaty and just wanted to take a shower. I walked through the kitchen and saw a little note hanging on the fridge. It said "Hey mom, tomorrow you can pick our Lukey up! He'll give you a call when he's ready. Love you, Holly xo". Great another reminder of my ex girlfriend. It hurt me to think about her.

I went upstairs and thought she was in her room. But the door was open and no one was in there. I quickly took a shower before I texted Luke. "Is Holly with you?" A while later he told me he was alone. The hours passed by and it was already evening by then. Gina and Beau were already home.

"Jai, baby?" That was mom's voice. "Yeah?" I yelled and walked downstairs to see mom in the kitchen. I joined her and she smiled "Have you seen Holly? She wrote me the note but she's nowhere to be seen. Luke said she went home and didn't come back to him. Do you know if she has any friends from school where she could be?"

"No, she only had us in school." Mom looked a bit worried and yelled "Beau? Come downstairs please!" A few moments later he was sitting in the kitchen with us. He didn't know where Holly was either.

"I'll go and try to call her." I said and grabbed my phone. I dialled the number but no one picked up. "Call again please." Beau said and seemed like he was concentrating on something. I called her again and Beau said "no wonder you can't reach her! her phone is upstairs." A couple of minutes later Beau came downstais with Holly's phone. "Great." I whispered and took a deep breath.

"But it's already getting dark." Mom said and we decided to call Luke again. He said he was still alone.
