I'm sorta nervous jesus cause idk who could've seen this or not but if you have, thank you so much. I love you and 5sos would most probably compliment your eyes and then bang you. So now I'm writing this book..well continuing haha yeah still nervous. Okay so mostly it will be in Nikki's POV or 3rd Person POV but you guys will be told if it's someone else's. Also for age wise, I'm keeping Ashton to be like 18 1/2 or 19, just to fit in school with us.
Nikki's POV:"Oh Jesus Christ, somebody help me!" That was the last thing that went in my head since Luke was bawling his eyes out while clinging to me, as if in a minute, I too would leave him alone. I had I lot running through my mind, some thoughts being why did that bitch leave him? How long was Luke here for? But the one that really hit me was 'How the actual fuck am I meant to console a 6ft crying boy?' 'It's okay Nikki, come on breathe, you've seen enough romcoms and you've handle and helped friends through a break ups before. Same thing here, just it's a guy. A guy that you've had a crush on for a hella long time , who just broke up with his girlfriend, meaning he's singl- No. Don't. If you smile, I swear to god! Concentrate Nikki!' Well didn't that pep talk help me, note my sarcasm. I turned slightly to Luke, his sobs were now silent but every once you'd hear him sniffle. Nikki, you gotta do something, now. "Luke, hey buddy, how about we go upstairs where it's a little quieter okay?" I whispered in his ear, while rubbing his back awkwardly. He moved slightly and I could feel him nod is head on my shoulder.
Getting through the sea of people of people was a challenge more for me, maneuvering my way through the crowd with Luke trailing close behind me. Finally we made it to the stairs and I turned to Luke, the poor guy looked like a mess and I felt bad just standing there but at least I was helping in some way. "Luke, do me a favor, go upstairs to your room okay? I'll be back" I said softly to him, and I walked around him but only to be stopped by Luke grabbing my wrist, reminding me of Calum at the start of this party. I turned to him and he looked at me with pleading eyes, that beautiful blue that used to float in a white pool, now looked like a dull colour that had been the result of failed attempts of the painting you desired. "I'm going to be up in a second, I promise." With that I felt my arm fall back to me side, last thing I saw before I turned around was Luke's back as he walked up the stairs.
Knocking on the door of Luke's bedroom, I heard a soft voice say "come in" and so I carefully turned on the door knob, trying to balance all the things in my arms, I entered the room only to be met by a sad looking boy, who was cuddling a large stuffed penguin. He looked up at me and his eyebrows rose as to all the things in my arms. I walked over to him, placing them on the bed while verbally going over the list of things I brought. "Sorry I took so long. Right so I have 2 tubs of ice cream-cookies and cream as well as triple choc mudcake, I also got about 5 to 7 movies - some are romcoms, others are action but like 1 is horror and I don't even know why I have that so please don't ask. I also got FIFA, Mario Cart and NFS. Oh! Yeah, I made sure I got Mean Girls." I finished with a huff and Luke looked at me wide eyed as if I said lets kidnap a penguin from a zoo near us. I bit my lip nervously, "Since tomorrow is a pupil free day, I got stuff for our sleepover we were meant to have after the party but it's all good cause I think the guys are most likely gonna be so drunk that they'll fall asleep. I didn't think you want to talk about that bitch- uh I mean, your uh girlfriend so uh I thought why not um get your mind off it?" I finished my statement that sounded more like a question. My cheeks were red from calling his ex, a bitch. Don't get me wrong, I could give her a lot more cusses..just not the best to be caught on it by her ex boyfriend. I knew Luke heard me call her a bitch cause evidently he flinched when he heard it. The silence in the room was suffocating, so I piped up saying "Uh Luke, um it's just that the ice cream is melting and I really wanna quote 'It's like I have ES-PEN or something' " and that made Luke chuckle. He nodded his head and said in a raspy voice "Alright, but then I get to quote 'You go Glen Coco!' " and I just smiled. "Deal."
The sound of the party had died down a bit but was still alive. We had finished 1 tub of ice cream and we were at the start of the second tub when Luke paused the movie at the math competition, right when Cady was saying her thoughts. I looked at the screen with my mouth agape cause did you really just stop me from watching Mean Girls, really. I turned to Luke and before I could say anything, he said "Ex girlfriend..um earlier you said that I probably didn't want to talk about my girlfriend but she's my ex now. I guess I deserve to be dumped. It happened for a reason and it was mostly me." Now he was staring at his hands as if they were the best thing he'd ever seen. A frown took upon my face and the words that left my mouth were genuine, no pep talks, no thought out ideas. Just, my words. "Luke look at me, I'm telling you right now that you're an amazing guy, you're really attractive too, your personality is something that puts you out from all the boys and that's what girls notice and appreciate. This may sound so damn cliche but trust me, I mean it in all honesty when I say, you're you. The best type of guy, that you could possibly be and it shows when someone spends more that 15 minutes with you. If you believe the break up happened for a reason, then don't think of it that you had a fault in you because you, Luke Robert Hemmings, are a clean slate, it's hard to find a mark on you. Think of it this way, you were with her because she made you happy, that's what you were meant to feel, happy. But maybe it turns out, that she wasn't the one who'd give you the right type of happiness and maybe, that's the reason, what you had, needed to come to an end. But in no way does that mean, it was your fault. Do you get me?" Luke had a small smile on his face and he nodded. He turned around to the screen, pressing play on the movie. The only sounds heard were the sound the Cady's thoughts, the unclear music below us, the shuffling of Luke, deciding to cuddle closer to me and the sound of a quiet "Thank you" that was left floating in the air.
