Be My Escape- A Luke Hemmings Fanfic

Chapter 3

"LUUUUUUUUUKE!"

"What?"

"I don't know what to wear tomorrow! Please, please, please help me!"

Tomorrow is the first day of middle school and I desperately want to make a good impression.

Of course Luke isn't being any help. He just continues to lounge around on my bed as I frantically go through my closet.

"Why do you care so much anyway? You'll look fine no matter what you wear" Luke says.

"What if I meet a really cute guy? Huh? What if I look like a sloppy mess? I need to look good if I'm EVER going to get my first kiss" I say unabashedly.

Saying all this to Luke wasn't awkward or weird at all. We are best friends after all. We tell each other everything no matter how silly, embarrassing, or lame.

"You're really that stressed over your first kiss? We're only 12! I haven't even had my first kiss!"

I just stand there and glare at Luke. Of course I'm being dead serious. I don't want to waste my first kiss on some random, lame guy I meet at a party or something dumb like that. I want to make sure it is with someone who I can have some type of relationship with.

Before I have the chance to blink, however, Luke gets up, makes his way over to me, grabs my face with his large hands, and gives me a very quick, sloppy kiss on the lips.

He immediately releases his hold on me and steps back with a smirk on his face. "Well now we both have one less thing to worry about."

"You're such an idiot," I say chuckling.

Turning back to the closet, I was glad that Luke and I are close enough not to look too much into being each other's first kiss. I don't want anything to jeopardize our friendship. Especially after losing my first best friends 2 years ago.

I never really told Luke about it and it sometimes made me feel guilty for not sharing. He knows about Molly and Becky. He knows that it was hard for me to leave them and he knows how important my friendship with him is because of it. What he doesn't know is that it was my friendship with him that cost me my friendship with Molly and Becky.

After becoming Luke's friend, I became more forgetful when it came to skyping, calling, and writing Becky and Molly. Sometime during fourth grade, they were tired of not even receiving a quarter of my attention. When I did get in contact with them, I would always end up talking about Luke or what fun things we would do together, and they got sick of it. They yelled awful things about how I'd changed and how I wasn't who they thought I was. We got into a huge fight, and they made me choose between them and Luke.

What could I do though? They were on the other side of the freaking world. So of course I choose Luke.

Luke knows that we had a falling out and that it devastated me. I never told him what the fight was about and he never asked. He was just there as a shoulder for me to cry on... At the end of the day, he understands me, and that's all that matters.

As long as I have Luke, nothing can go wrong.
