"You and Luke got pretty close pretty quickly"

I averted my gaze towards the blonde haired boy sitting across from me. After we bid our farewell to the boys at the airport Geordie and Coady invited me to have lunch with them at a small café downtown.

"Yeah, I guess we did" I mumbled, stirring my coffee with a spoon. I wasn't particularly hungry, I just didn't want to be alone so I accepted their offer.

"I like you more than Aleisha anyways. She can be a little bitch sometimes" Geordie rolled her eyes. I stiffled a small chuckle. Geordie was a character to say the least.

"You'll see him again, don't worry" Coady reassured with a light smile. I returned a smile except a little more tight lipped. I didn't know if Coady actually believe Luke and I would reunite sometime in the near or distant future or if he was just trying to make me feel better, but either way his reassurance wasn't working.

"Until those homos return, feel free to hang around with us two this. We'll try make it a little more bearable" Geordie grinned.

"I mean I don't have crazy hair or a punk rock music taste but I can be interesting sometimes" Coady shrugged jokingly. I actually laughed out loud. I hoped that they would fufill their offer and actually willingly want to hang out with me because if I didn't have them, I would have a pretty boring summer. Well until my cousin came out to join me here.

"Thanks guys. It really means a lot, honestly" I smiled.

They didn't answer in full they just gasped in delight as they saw the waitress coming towards our table with food. I didn't mind though. I was pretty content with just being in their company. Even if they didn't include me much in their conversations about the biggest scandals circiling their school.

After we finished up at the café I called Melissa to tell her I was ready to be picked up. Time had passed so fast I didn't even realise that it was way past seven p.m and I was getting pretty hungry. Once she had picked me up and finished asking me if I was okay, I told Melissa I would order a pizza for dinner and take it up to my room because I was pretty tired after the long day. She and I both knew I wasn't tired, just wanted to be alone.

I laid on my bed inhaling deeply trying to clear my mind when I remembered the package Luke had handed me at the airport. I dug through my bag and pulled it out, feeling it slightly to see what was in it. The sellotape ripped off it pretty easily and a CD with a small note tumbled out.

"Aimi,

I'm sorry I had to leave you so soon. I'm sorry you have to spend your summer by yourself.

But I hope I make up for it with this mixtape. Well, I know I won't but it might make you feel a little better. Whenever you feel like you're missing me or any of the boys just play this and sit back and relax. I'll be back before you know it.

I love you

Luke xx"

The first song was Only Ones Who Know by Arctic Monkeys and just as Alex Turners voice spread out from the speakers like velvet, tears released themselves from my eyes running down my cheeks.

I should have just kept my curiousity at bay the first time I came here. I shouldn't have gone out to the balcony. I shouldn't have talked to Luke or Michael. Maybe then I wouldn't have met them and maybe then I wouldn't have fallen in love with Luke. Maybe then I wouldn't be laying on my bed crying about a boy who I didn't know existed two months ago.

My brain was being completely overworked, crying more and more as every song played. The last song I remembered listening to was The Ballad of Mona Lisa by Panic! At The Disco and the words faded more and more as I fell deeper to sleep.

"Aimi"

I felt someone vigorsly shaking me from my slumber. I cracked open an eye to see the sillhouette of Melissa crouched by my bed. My eyes wandered to the alarm clock beside my bed.

"Mel it's four am, can it wait?" I groaned turning over in attempt to sleep again.

"No Aimi" Her voice pleaded. It sounded like she had been crying. I sat up slowly in the bed my eyebrows furrowing in concern.

"Melissa what happened?" I asked, rubbing her shoulder soothingly. She was in complete hysterics and I didn't know why.

"Your mom..."

I swallowed the lump in my throat and withdrew my hand from her back.

"What happened" I asked my voice breaking.

"Aimi, she's gone"

I started to hyperventilate the world becoming blurry second by second.

"W-where? Where's she gone?" I demanded, tears flowing down my cheeks once more.

"She's dead baby I'm so sorry"
