Luke is happy.

Luke is happy, no matter what. It's fine if someone insults him. It's fine if he gets kissed without consent. It's fine if people talk behind his back. It's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

He's convenient.

He's conveniently there for stressful situations. Conveniently only one who can calm Milly. Conveniently there to see Sean's breakdowns. Conveniently only one Hailey can relay her worries to.

Conveniently the only boy who's known Zander for the longest, conveniently only one Zander can think about falling in love with.

Sometimes he doesn't feel fine. He hates himself for it. He has wonderful friends, has had a wonderful life. Sean has worse family life. Hailey has more stress. He has no right to be upset when his friends are struggling so much more.

So he puts on a smile.

The best smile he can. Help everyone feel better. Make people laugh. He'll smile and tell himself he can do it.

He's done it his whole life. Pretending to be happy.

Sometimes, he is happy. He's grateful people rely on him. He's happy he can make people happy.

But the moment it's over, no one cares. He can just go die and no one will care.

That's his life. He's gotten used to it.

Sometimes he wishes he had the strength to speak, to seek help.

But he's supposed to be fine. Supposed to be the strong one.

So Luke puts on a smile, and doesn't complain.
