It was 4 o'clock in the morning and I didn't get any sleep. 

My eyes were wide open and I ran out of things to do. Luckily it's Friday night but I'm super tired and I really wished I could get some sleep. I watched over twenty videos on Youtube and completed all my assignments for the weekend.

I didn't talk to Luke at all since yesterday. I don't why though. I hardly even get the chance to see him during lunch periods and he disappears right when the bell rings. It's weird and I'm starting to get irritated. 

Kenzie didn't show up to school for the rest of the week and she's really going insane. Her parents took away her phone and made her take extra class hours to fill up the gap she'll have if she missed school this week. I saw her two minutes quickly because her mother allowed me to give her some papers she needed. 

I miss her so much and I'm so worried about her. I wish her parents are a little bit less strict because it's ridiculous what they're doing to her. Even my mother agrees. She tried to discuss and convince Erika, Kenzie's mum, but she's too stubborn. 

I looked at the clock again. 

It's 4:07 AM. 

I decided to text Luke because I miss him and I don't care if he's asleep. He'll see it anyways. 

To : lulu <3 : wanna hang out tomorrow night at the groove?

I sighed but few seconds after, his name flashed on the screen signaling that he's calling me. I smiled and slid the button on the screen to pick up. 

"Hey." I whispered, "Did I wake you up?" 

"No, I was playing fifa." He replied and I could hear the sound of the game. He's such a geek. "How are you?" 

"Why are you still awake?" He asked, "I don't know really, I just am and you?" 

"Same." 

My eyes widened lightly because he never says 'same' and he literally mocks me every time I say it to him. I don't know why but I can tell how annoyed he is. "Am I annoying you?"

"No, why?" 

"Because Luke, you're talking like you're obliged to and you never say same." 

"Who said I'm obliged to talk to you?" I could already feel my blood rushing quickly through my veins. I can't stand his coldness anymore. "Luke, stop, this is not funny." 

"Who said I wanna make you laugh?" 

"You know what, fuck you!" I hung up immediately screaming through my pillows. I don't know why but I am really pissed off and mad at everything. He haven't talked to me in like a week and I'm left alone without my best friend and my family is falling apart. I don't know what's wrong, what have I done wrong.

He didn't bother to call me back, and that increased my anger level even more. Before I could do anything, I drifted off to sleep slowly. 

"Lauren." I groaned sinking under my duvet even more. "Hey Lauren, wake up!" 

"Who are you?" I managed to say through my pillows, "It's Skylar, wake up." I sighed and pulled off the covers, slowly forcing myself to open my eyes only to be blinded by the sunshine. I felt her sitting at the end of the bed and I yawned looking at her finally. 

"I went to Starbucks and I saw Madison." 

"Did you wake me up only for telling me about this?" She looked at me weirdly and she could tell how pissed off I still am. "Are you always grumpy in the morning? You didn't let me continue."

"I don't give a shit about Madison." 

"Let me continue for fuck's sake." She snapped and I decided to shut up. "She's having a pre-summer party next Friday and we all are invited." What the fuck? Since when Madison invites me to her parties? I don't know why but I have a really bad feeling about this.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." 

"She was really nice, I swear. She said that everyone could come and she doesn't have a problem with anyone." I remained silent because this seems a little bit sketchy but oh well. "Okay, we'll go whatever."

"What's up with you anyway?" She asked taking off her shoes putting them away. "Luke is really weird. I don't know what's wrong with him." 

"Yeah, I noticed it to be honest." I pressed my lips into a thin line and decided to go brush my teeth first. "Spend the day with me Sky, let's go shopping and take pictures out."

I hopped in the shower quickly and then, put on my high-waisted black shorts and my nirvana tank-top. I added my black long cardigan and my black combat boots. It's all black and I'm gonna die in the heat outside.

I applied some light makeup and sprayed some perfume. We headed outside and drove through the busy roads. We sang the songs on the radio out loud and we had so much fun, until I parked my car in a surprisingly empty parking spot. Honestly, parking in LA is a pain in the ass. 

"So, what are we gonna wear to Madison's?" 

"I don't know man, I don't feel like going." I sighed while we walked in the busy street looking at beautiful boutiques. "Don't be lame Laur, you are going. It's gonna be so boring without you."

"I'll see with Luke." 

A pang was felt in my heart when I mentioned his name. I really do miss him. I don't know what's up with him these days. Did he got bored of me? Is our relationship coming to an end? I don't understand what's wrong, like literally I need to grow some balls and call him or something.

"Let's go to Urban." We entered the stores and searched through the aisles looking for good deals. I ended up getting two shirts and a pair of sunglasses. After few hours of shopping and coffee runs, we sat in some restaurant to eat something.

"I didn't tell you, oh my God!" She suddenly said throughout our conversation, "What?"

"You know Matty?" She started and I furrowed my eyebrows, confused. "Who's that?" 

"Matty Laurence, the super hot drummer, the one who's in that band. You know him, my God." 

"Fuck yeah, he's so cute. What's up with him?" I asked, I remember him because they played during the opening for the game last semester. He is popular but so kind. He belongs to Nash's group, they don't go near Calum's area at all. They are really cool people, I wish I could take part of their squad, not be stuck with these nasty guys.

"Well, he offered me a ride back home and we went out yesterday night." 

"Don't tell me you like him?" I smiled really big taking a sip from my water, she shrugged and leaned back on her chair. "I don't know, he's so cute I swear. He even asked me to Prom." 

"What the fuck, Prom is like in a month." 

"He told me, he didn't want anyone asking me to Prom, so he asked me early." I was really happy for her because she is drop dead gorgeous, plus her personality is just the cherry on top of a cake. I'm really glad that she didn't end up with one of the guys, she deserves the best. 

"By the way, what about Prom this year?" She added before taking a bite of her hamburger, I shrugged but answered right away. "They are talking about a sick party after the ceremony."

"Yeah, it's true. It's gonna be in Calum's and man, it's gonna be epic. It's actually a pool party." I knew that Calum is going to mark his presence throughout the whole school history. I'm not even surprised, I've heard a lot of plans and organisations. I'm starting to get excited, to be honest.

"We gotta pick the bikinis then," I laughed giving her a high-five. I'm not really comfortable with wearing a bikini and swimming with hundred of people from my school but I thought that it's the end of my high school years and I have to push my insecurities to the side and have fun.

We payed for our lunch and then, we took some pictures because the lighting was on point. I headed back home then, after dropping her off in her house. I parked my car and got out carrying my shopping bags. I did find an outfit though and I ended up spending all of my pocket money. Mom is going to be so pissed.

"Hey Lauren."

"Oh my! You scared the hell out of me!" I jumped almost tripping over my feet while I was walking to my front door. I figured that it's actually Luke. "I'm sorry, I was waiting for you."

"Yeah, what's up?" I casually said searching for my keys to get into my house while he leaned against the brick wall next to my door. "Can we talk please?"

"Yeah, talk about why you ignored me for a whole week, or why you were annoyed with me yesterday when I wanted to see you, because last time I checked, we are in a relationship." I replied locking my gaze with him, he took interest on the floor and swayed on his heels back and forth.

"I'm sorry." 

"Are you bored of our relationship?" I asked sternly making his eyes widen and look at me again surprised. "No, what kind of question is this!" 

"Luke, have you seen how you've been acting this past week?" He sighed stepping closer cupping my cheeks in his hands. My eyes hesitantly locked with his and I wanted to kiss him. "Go put your stuff inside and let's go talk in my car. Please." I nodded not finding an excuse and I opened the front door once he let go. I followed him to his car which was parked few blocks away. The walk was silent, our hands barely brushing against each other. The neighborhood was silent since it's already night. I sat in the passenger seat looking at everywhere but him.

"For a start, I really am sorry. I'm totally wrong for being so damn isolated and weird these past days." 

"Why are you like this?" I asked, he sighed running his hand through his quiff. I could feel that there's something wrong and I want him to tell me. "I didn't do anything wrong Luke."

"I know baby, it's me." 

"What's up with you? Tell me Luke." He leaned his head against the steering wheel letting out once again another frustrated sigh.  "I don't know why but I feel so weird lately. It has nothing with you, I swear."

"You know that I can help you in whatever you need, Luke. We're in together, right?" I took his hand in mine and he immediately wrapped his arms around me for a tight hug. It felt really nice to be this close to him, I really missed him. Then, he kissed me tenderly with so much passion. My hands rested on his jaw, my fingers lightly brushing against his beard. 

We pulled away for few seconds not breaking our eye contact. His eyes were sparkling in the dim light and the little distance between us made me crave more. I bit my lower lip brushing my finger against his scruff. He pushed his seat to the back making me crawl into his lap, straddling him. We kissed again, and again adding even more passion into the contact. My excitement was increasing quickly and I let out a quiet moan against his lips. His hands traveled from my waist to my shoulders to take off my cardigan. His lips attacking my neck with wet kisses and I started grinding my hips. 

"I missed you like hell, baby girl." He whispered against my jaw kissing the skin. His warm breath tickled me exciting me even more. I tugged at his t-shirt signaling him that I want it off. Once it's done, I sucked on the skin of his collar bones making sure to leave a purple mark. We pushed the seat backward so we can lay on it comfortably. 

"Take off this bad ass tank top." He ordered making me giggle taking it off revealing my lacy black bra. I don't know how I got the idea to wear matching underwear. I immediately took off the bra also, because I don't find the necessity of keeping it on. His eyes sparkled at the sight and his swollen pink lips curled into a side smirk. "As much as I adore you on top of me, I gotta be on top this time."

We swapped places quickly and the car was spacious enough. He unbuckled his belt pulling out a condom from his wallet and we were ready to make up for the misunderstandings.
