Well That Took A Turn ~ A Luke Imagine
“I’m sorry Y/N but I just don’t love you anymore.”
It keeps replaying in my head over and over again but no matter how many times I repeat it to myself I still just don’t understand. It just hasn’t hit me yet that he actually broke up with me. Our relationship was going so well right now too. The fights had decreased, we had made an alotted date night, and we had even just bought matching fish. Everything is just a massive fog at this point and nothing adds up. I’m driving and breathing and functioning but I’m not actually all here. I’m just replaying the breakup on a continuous loop. I’m in such a haze I hadn’t even realized I had pulled up in front of Luke’s small blue house until someone knocks on my car window. I turn my head towards the sound, my stare locking with a pair of concerned blue eyes. I give the boy behind the eyes a small smile and shut off my car before making my way out of it. I don’t have a chance to close my door before I’m being wrapped in a pair of warm arms. As I melt into Luke’s arms the way I always have, I feel the fog start to fade away. “Let’s get you out of the cold and then I can hold you in my arms and we can cry together okay?” Luke says pulling back from our hug to softy run a hand over my hair. “Okay,” I say quietly, already missing the comfort of his arms around me. As I follow the tall boy into his house I can’t help but remember all the times he had been there for me; much more than Ashton ever had. It was always Luke I’d run to when I had a fight with one of my friends, when someone close to me died, or hell, even when I had bad day at work. Luke would be sitting in his living room waiting for me with a warm cup of coffee. One milk, and two sugars. Just the way I liked it. When I’d go to Ashton with a problem he’d just tell me that the shortage of people who didn’t like kale was a far greater problem then me spilling a hot cup of tea over my laptop and losing all of my documents for work. It wasn’t really a brain buster as to why I spent more time with my best friend rather than my boyfriend.
Luke quickly sits me on the couch, passing me a steaming purple mug full of coffee before grabbing a blanket and plopping himself next to me. He pulls me into his lap and I feel my cheeks begin to redden as my heartbeat increases. Luke gentley lays the blanket over our combined bodies, thankfully completely oblivious to my strange side effects to his kindness. “So what happened princess?” Luke asks me in a soft voice as he gently rubs his fingers up and down my arm, creating slight tingles with every pass. “Well obviously Ashton broke up with me. It was kind of out of nowhere and I’m confused but he said that he just didn’t love me anymore” I tell Luke, my voice partially muffled by me snuggling into his chest. “Honestly I’m not even sure if I’m that sad about it though. We didn’t spend every waking minute with each other because we just didn’t really care. I was always with you and he was always hanging out with Juliet. I feel like if we really loved each other we wouldn’t want to be apart you know?”
“I thought that you and Juliet got along really well though?” Luke asks, the confusion clear in his eyes. “I do. I love Juliet she’s great and her and Ash are really close, I just feel like I maybe should have been jealous of her and suspicious about how much time the two of them spent together,” I say shaking my head at my own stupidity.
“Was Ashton jealous of how much time you spent with me then?”
“ No he didn’t care he’d always just be with Juliet. That’s why I don’t think he even loved me in the first place. I don’t blame him though,” I say in a small voice. The rubbing of my arm suddenly halts and I look up to see a pained expression on Luke’s face. “Y/N don’t you even think for a single god damn second that you weren’t good enough for that asshole, he was the one who shouldn’t have been loved by you. Hell I’m not sure if any of us actually deserve you. You’re so kind and beautiful, and your whole personality just lights up a room. You’re the most loveable person I’ve ever met and the fact that you don’t know that upsets me but it just shows how everybody has just taken advantage of the love you give and have never showed any love in return. It means I haven’t let you know how special you are,” he says, reaching to wipe away tears that had silently been running down my cheeks. My heart feels like it’s going to jump right out of my chest shattering every one of my ribs. It’s nice for somebody to think I’m that special when I’m really not, yet Luke is looking at me like I’m his entire world and it’s giving me butterflies. Deep down I know he only means it in a friendly way, but a girl can dream that a boy who looks like Luke does would love her romantically. “You know you could have just said that he was an asshole and it would have made me feel better” I say with a slight chuckle, looking into the blue eyes I know better than my own. “No because just pointing out that he’s a total asshat isn’t making you feel better about yourself, it’s just us trying to get you angry” Luke says, his large, callused hands still caressing my face. “Why are you so upset at Ashton? I thought you guys were real good friends?” “We used to be until we had, um, lets say an argument and it kind of put a damper on our friendship. Plus he just broke my best girl’s heart and I can’t stand for that no matter how happy it makes me now that you aren’t stuck with him anymore” he says, a small smile gracing his features. This boy really needs to stop saying such sweet things to me before I lose it. But I have to admit I was very curious about this fight, the two boys used to practically be best friends and Luke was how I had met my now ex boyfriend. I guess the three of us never did hangout much after Ash and I had started dating but I had just figured Luke didn’t want to be the third wheel. “I can see the gears going crazy in your head trying to figure out what happened but it’s not a big deal,” Luke tells me, removing his hands from my face to run his hand nervously thru his sandy blonde hair. I frown at the action, my curiosity increasing with each passing second. “So what was such a big deal that it ruined your friendship with Ashton?” I ask, not even bothering to hide my curiosity,.
“You.”
