When We Crashed

Afraid Of Love

Luke's pov:

As I pulled into the parking lot of the supermarket, I only had one thing replaying over and over in my head.

I punched my best friend because of her.

I punched f*cking Zander because of Ella.

Why? Because I couldn't stand the idea of her with another guy.

I couldn't stand the idea of her being happy with him.

I couldn't stand the fact..... of her telling him that she loves him.

Why?

Why!

"You're not alone Ella. I promise you, I won't ever let you be alone again."

It hurt.

It hurt to know that I broke this promise.

I told her that I would never leave her, but I did the exact opposite.

I left her.

I ignored her.

I did what any shitty person would do, I lied to her.

I lied that I would always be there, right next to her.

But here I am, a week after leaving her alone in the park.

I don't even understand why I did that.

I don't understand why it was hard for me to call her my friend in the park.

I don't understand why it was hard for me to call Fawn my girlfriend.

I don't understand why I think of Ella every single waking moment.

But every time Ella would try to hangout with me the past week, I couldn't.

I couldn't bring it in me to see her.

Suddenly, a sound of a knock throws me out of my thoughts, I look over to see...

Is that...

"Samantha?" I say in complete shock as she stares at me through the window.

She points at the empty seat, and without thinking, I nod my head.

She opens the door and sits down.

"We need to talk." Is all she says.

But I just shake my head, "Samantha, it's not the time..."

"No, it is Luke." She says as she sets down her purse from her lap and puts it on the floor.

There was a long pause from her as she takes a deep breath, "I know what happened."

But I only give her a confused look, "What are you talking about?"

"Luke, I know what you did, you and that girl."

"Ella?"

"No, Fawn." She says, and my heart sinks.

I look forward, not meeting her eye, "What about her?"
