Payback (Luke Brooks)

Chapter Twenty-Six

Scarlett's P.O.V

"I'm with Scarlett" he speaks up.

I wake up to to the sound of Luke on the phone, and as he said my name I decide on listening.

"No, the deal is off. Back off Ally"

Ally? Hmm, name rings a bell.

"No, please"

"Fuck, I'll be an hour"

"Where are you going" I ask, walking towards him.

"To sort some business" he replies bluntly.

"None of your business, type of business" he adds, noticing my sour expression.

I chuckle annoyed. "Whatever"

He sighs, "I'm sorry. I'll be back later" he pecks my forehead, and practically sprints out of the door.

I close the door behind him, and slowly walk up the stairs.

I plug my headphones into my phone, and put on "night changes" by One Direction, as I slowly drift off to sleep.

I wake up to the sound of my ringtone ringing down my ear, louder than Lukes snoring.

That's pretty loud.

Damn.

I reach for my mobile with my eyes still closed, not a very smart idea in the matter, as I end up tumbling off of my bed and hitting my elbow on the corner of my bedside table. I quickly press the answer button before it goes off, and take my earphones out.

"H-hello" I groan.

"Scar" a familiar voice speaks.

"Er yeah, who is it?"

"H-Harry" he replies stuttering.

"Harry? What do you want?" I ask, trying to sound cool even though I feel like vomiting up all last nights dinner.

"I'm in Melbourne, can we talk?"

"What? No, we can't. I thought I made it clear, I never want to see you again" I raise my voice, nearer the end of my not so threatening sentence, and hang up immediately.

I put my phone back on my bedside table and just cry. I don't know why i am crying, I haven't cried over this crap in months. I bury my head into my knees, and think about the past few months. I let out everything I've managed to keep in.

"Scarlett, honey? I hear somebody shout me from downstairs.

"Mum" I call back, confused. She's not supposed to be back for another 3 days.

I sprint down the stairs, nearly tripping in the process might I add, and run straight into her arms.

Although mum and I aren't as close as we used to be, I can still speak to her about things.

Certain things, anyway.

"What's wrong sweetie? She wonders.

"H-Harry called" I explain that I don't love him anymore, but it's just everything that happened with him.

"I know it still hurts, but you will learn to deal with it eventually" she rubs my back, and kisses my forehead, reassuring me everything will be okay eventually.

I smile at her gesture as she walks into the kitchen.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"I'm not hungry" I shout, loud enough for her to hear me. Otherwise it would be useless to even reply.

I hear my phone buzz from my pocket, as I walk through to my bedroom.

Adelle: I just saw your old friend...Ally? She's with Luke!xo

Me: where?!

Adelle: outside the nightclub near Phoebe's.

Me: err, okay. Thank you for telling me. I'll text you later, we need to talk!xo

I throw on my ugg boots, and tell mum I'm going out for a run. I pull out my phone and call Luke.

"Hello, princess" he answered on the third ring.

"Um hello, where are you?"

"Just with the lads, why? Is something wrong?"
"N-no. I um, I was just wondering" I stutter.

He's lying to me. Why would he have the need to lie, if he wasn't keeping secrets?

"Okay, well we are kinda busy right now Angel, speak later?" He suggests.

"I love you" I test him.

"Ur yeah, right back at ya princess" he says, and then hangs up.

He always says it first, let alone say it wrong.

I quickly jog to where Adelle told me they were, and spot him across the road with her. They're sitting on a bench, a skanky one at that, and she's literally all over him.

Ew, slut.

She sees me, and as he's about to turn around and look, she grabs his face and kisses him.

I never noticed whether he kissed her back, because I ran in the other direction immediately.

Stupid feelings.

Stupid L-word.

Stupid boys.

Stupid Luke fucking Brooks.

...

Luke has tried getting in contact with me all day, but after the events yesterday, I don't think I can face him just yet.

I get ready, and decide to go for a walk.

As I run down the stairs, the doorbell rings.

"Scar, get the door" my lazy excuse of a mother shouts downstairs from her bedroom.

"Grr, yes" I groan.

I grab my blue vans, putting then on whilst answering the door.

See us girls have several brilliant talents. One of them being multi-tasking.

I'm just about to tuck in my laces, when the person at the door speaks.

"Scar"

I look up.

Fuck my life.

"Luke" I sigh.
