Fire Alarm // Luke Hemmings AU

Chapitre trois. Old Friend

"Shannon, if he really cared about you or your feelings, he wouldn't have done that!" I berated, slightly tugging the hem of my shirt down, not knowing what to do with my hands. All I wanted to do was punch him right in the face, there was no denying that it would have felt so right.

"He didn't mean it, it was a total accident on his part. We talked about it, and he said he was really sorry."

"Tell me, how does he 'accidentally' sell a priceless golden necklace that you hold so dear. Might I add while you were busy at work? Mhm?"

"He must of thought that it belonged to him, he wasn't thinking. He said that the money would help support us."

"What do you mean he thought it was his?! Honestly does his ass ever get jealous of the amount of shit that comes out his mouth?"

"Annika!"

"What would your grandmother say about this? I thought you loved it because it made you feel close to her, and when are you going to realize that there is no 'us' for the two of you, it's always him, him, him?"

It was insane that she could literally see past all the bad things he's done and still stay with him.

Love is truly blind.

"You don't understand you've never been in love before. You learn to accept their flaws"

Flaws that's what she's calls it? The fact that he was been taking her for granted ever since they started dating, and she just calls it 'flaws' baffles me beyond end.

Even If what she said was true, I haven't been in love. I've only had small flings that were in High school, and those lasted a 5 to 6 months. Sure, at that time I thought we would last forever,but I soon realized that I was just being naïve and I came to the conclusion 'why date in high school? no one's rich yet anyway, so what's the point.'

But I knew he has more than minor flaws, he had problems.

What annoyed me more than the fact they were still together was that she always pulled the love card out when I started complaining about him. She would always get so pugnacious..

Like the fact I've never felt that way about anyone would affect my view of him. I know I haven't been much in 'the game' as I would like, but I don't have time. Trust me I would love to be in a relationship with someone who cares, and truly understands me.

I could even say that 'I want someone to see the fire in my eyes and want to play with it.'

"Maybe not, but I know how someone should be treated, and he's not treating you right. Tell me, what did he give you for your birthday last month?" I inguired, attempting to calm myself down I pace around in a circle while still paying close attention to every word she said.

"Well, you see.. he forgot, but I didn't give him any warnings or-"

As the pacing didn't seem to calm me down, I stop. "He should fucking know when your birthday is Shannon, you've been 'dating' for 5 months now." I scolded air quoting the word dating.

"What makes you think you know anything about treated right? You expect everything to be a specific way, and you won't accept anything less!

"This is why no one wants to date you! You demand so much! You've never thought about that have you!"

I felt a pain in my gut, it was like she just gave me a left hook right to the stomach when she uttered the words. She of all people knew I was sensitive about not being able to find someone. She knew I had a problem with everything having to be a certain way, and If it wasn't, I would loose it.
