Our Secret

Fake smiles

"Um i- i have to go.."

I ran out of the bathroom in pure shock. I ran without looking back...if i did i would have seen Luke with the most confused heart broken look plastered on his face.

I finally got back to the field when i felt a soft tap on my shoulder...Ethan.

I give him a fake smile "babe you scared me" i teased still trying to forget what had just happened minutes before.

"i thought you weren't going to come to the game tonight."

"well i thought that too until i realized how important it was to you" I lied

So he really did forget my birthday...how could he

"well i'm glad you showed up, i knew you didn't have anything better to do!"

ouch

"haha yea..." i said slowly trying to force myself not to cry

"anyways how about we go back to your place an-" but before he could finish Luke poofed in right behind him

"AHHH"

"y/n wtf what is it"

Luke smiled white Ethan turned in circles trying to figure out what had startled me.

"oh sorry it was nothing i thought i saw some creepy old man behind you" i smirked at Luke

"first you say i'm cute now i'm a creepy old man? I'm hurt y/n i really am." Luke jokes back

"Shut up Luke" my eyes widen and i throw my hand over my mouth.

shit shit shit

"Luke??? who the HELL is Luke! God damn i knew you were cheating on me that's why you've been so weird today!" Ethan exclaimed

My heart sinks. That's really what he thinks of me...all i am to him is a low life cheater.

"Ethan what the hell im not cheating on you! The only reason i've been weird today is..." i take a deep breath "is because you forgot my birthday."

"wait what today's not your birthday there's no way..." Ethan quickly checks his phone to see what day it is and his face falls "shit babe it really is i- i don't know how it slipped my mind i'm really sorry."

"You know what Lu- Ethan it wasn't that big of a deal until you accused me of CHEATING on you because i was up set. Have a good rest of your night i'm going home since i have 'nothing better to do' " i practically yell in his face.

I start to walk away when i feel Ethan grab my arm.

"y/n don't walk away from me." The words come out of his mouth like a command.

I try to wriggle free but his grip on my arm only tightens more. He's starting to hurt me...a lot. I wince in pain and Luke seems to notice. Luke's face is filled with concern and he starts to say something but i cut him off.

"Ethan- ETHAN let go! You're hurting me!" I plead

"Fine leave!" He yells as he pulls his hand away quickly and storms off

I can already feel my arm burning. Its almost the total opposite feeling that i got when Luke touched me...well i don't know if you can call it touching.

I look down at my arm to see a bruise already starting to form. I poke at the drag bruise and wince loudly from the pain.

"y/n..." Luke says softly "are you ok?"

I look up at him with tear filled eyes "i- i'm fine i just n- need to go home"

Luke nods and walks with me to the car in silence. I'm glad he didn't say anything because honestly i wouldn't have known what to say.

We finally get to my car and i realize that Alex and Reggie were already there. I smiled softly to them as i opened the door.

The car ride back to the house was quiet. I honestly don't know why they drove with me in the first place, i mean they could have just poofed back to the studio.

During the whole ride i saw Luke staring at me the whole ride. Like he was waiting for me to crumble right in front of him.

We finally arrived at the house. I told the boys good night and headed to my room ready to cry myself to sleep. I opened the door to my room and slowly climbed into bed.

how could this happen
are ghosts really real
did me and Ethan break up
why is he so mad at me
why does no one care
what did i do wrong...

So many thoughts were spiraling around in my head. I felt so trapped, so i did the only responsible thing to do in that moment. I grabbed my pillow and screamed into it at the top of my lungs.

After about 30 seconds of straight screaming i lowered the pillow from my face and took a deep breath. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down by counting down from ten.

"ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two..."

I felt the end of my bed sink

"one" Luke whispers

I open my eyes to find Luke sitting on my bed inches away from my face.

Not this again

I quickly get out of bed to get away from him

"You need to stop doing that." I tell Luke

"Doing what?" he smiles, acting innocent

"you know what..." i say slowly

"oh you mean this?" Luke slides off my bed and starts slowly walking towards me. I back up only to hit my wall. This doesn't seem to stop Luke, he keeps walking towards me until he's so close i swear i could feel him breathing on me. He smiles at the fact this is obviously flustering me.

I try to gather my words but all i could seem to say was "y-yes that..."

"well i guess i'll stop then!" Luke says in an upbeat tone quickly backing away from me and jumping onto my bed.

"t-thank you" i say, still trying to catch my breath.

"mhm" he smiles

"ok well...now that you're done being weird i'm going to need you to leave. Unlike you i actually need sleep so if you don't mind..."

"oh right...good night then y/n" He winks at me then suddenly he's gone.

I sigh and crawl into bed hoping today could be like those books i wrote as a kid, where it was all just a dream.
