Connected-L.H Book 2

./3\ - The Truth is...

Luke's p.o.v

I still don't know why I have to be here.

I could be at home watching a rerun of one of her interviews, or sleeping, Or watching reruns.

Most likely watching reruns.

"Hey, guys. As much as I'm having a great time with you guys, I should get home. I'm getting tiered." I stood up and placed my hands on the table.

"Oh come on! You haven't been out to a social event in a year and your going home at 7 because your tiered?" Calum asks me in disbelief.

"Well. Yeah." I started to leave but only got a couple of steps before Ashton speaks up.

"Luke. Listen to me for one minute, Please." I sigh but turn around anyways.

"What am I listening to?" I ask.

"Dude she left us. You should be over her by now. we all have, I bet Jayden has. And Melanie."

"I know Mali has." Calum says, I glance at him and I could see in his eyes that he was lying but I leave it.

"So hear me out when I say to have some fun, just let go and relax. If you two were really meant to be, fate will bring you two back together. just have one good night with us where you don't think or talk about her okay? And we can see it in your eyes when you do think of her. So until you have a full night where you don't think of her at all, we will keep dragging you out here if you like it if not."

I nod my head, looking at the ground. I stay like that for a moment, contemplating what I should say to that.

I look up at him. "okay." I shrug and sit down again.

I listened to them talk and talk, and talk, all night.

"Luke stop." Allee whispers next to me.

I look up from my phone, "what am I doing?" I ask.

"You're crying. Hand it here." she puts her hand out and I hand her my phone.

Ashton dragged me to the bar with him. I stay there with my head in my hand, looking at the dark wood.

"Come on Luke." Ash bumps my shoulder. I shrug and stayed looking down.

I felt something hit into me, I swirl in my chair slowly and Looked up into the beautiful big brown eyes of a stunning girl.

"Sorry, My bitchy friend is getting crazy." She points to a girl who looks a little to tipsy.

I smile slightly and nod. I give her a wave of my hand and spun back around in my chair.

She walked away with her friend and I took a sip of my water.

"Dude!" Ashton hits my arm. I rub it and look up at him.

"What?!" I ask, "did you SEE that girl? She's a babe!"

"Ash, You have a girlfriend dipshit." I take another sip.

"Not for me! YOU!" I choked on my water and looked at him.

"What?!" "Oh come on! Move on already! Get a girlfriend! Or at least hook up with her!"

Move on? Get a new girlfriend? But, What about. I swallow hard. What about Savanna?

"Dude, You were almost to the end of the night! Guess we gotta come back out tomorrow night."

I look up at him and furrow my eyebrows, "what?" I ask him.

"You're thinking about Her." "how do you know that?"
