LUKE'S POV

      I wake up to people laughing and singing downstairs. I have a really bad hangover. I go to the bathroom and take some pills and wash my face. I had dry blood. I go downstairs. I open the fridge and pull out a bag of frozen peas. I put it to my face. It went quiet. I don't talk. I see Cece, her eye puffy eyes and tear stained face. She still looked amazing. I get a cup of coffee. I hear my mum gasp. "Lucas?!? what happened to your face and neck" Mum asked. "Nothing mum I'm going back to my room and to sleep" I said quietly and went upstairs. I laid in my bed and pulled the blanket up to my face and cried.  I just lost the best thing in my life. Why the fuck did I fucking drink? I got up and went to the bathroom.  I turned on the shower. I got out some razors. I got naked and got in the shower. I sat on the floor in the shower and started to cut my wrists and thighs. I let the water hit my skin. I start to sob. Someone knocked on the door. "Luke?" It was Ash. "I'm in the shower Ash" I winced. "Mate we need to talk" Ash said. I dropped the blade. "Shiiiit" I said. "Luke are you sure you're okay?" Ash asked with concern in his voice. "I'm fine" I stuttered. Ash tried to open the door. "Luke please open this door." Ash said. "Ash please just leave me alone" I said. 

CECE'S POV

       I heard Ash running around. "Ash? What's wrong?" I asked. "Luke won't come out of the bathroom." Ash got out a key in the kitchen drawer. I follow behind him. Luke opens the door with blood shot eyes. He is in a baggy t-shirt and some sweatpants. "Happy? I opened the fucking door." Luke walked past us. "Luke we need to start getting ready to go cause we have to go for sound check" Ash said. "Okay I'll go put on my pants and shirt" Luke avoided making eye contact. I walked out. I see Zoe. "Zoe I think Luke is hiding something from us" I said. "Cece you need to get ready since you are singing with Luke tonight"Cal says. I go get dressed. I put on a batman shirt and some skinny jeans.  I let Zoe borrow some clothes. I go downstairs to see the guys ready. Luke avoids eye contact. When we get to the arena the boys start their sound check. When they are all done the concert starts. "Guys we have a special guest today" Ash said. "She is going to be singing... Amnesia as a duet with Luke" Cal said. I walked up to the stage. "Hi" I said shyly. Luke won't look at me.

"I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all" I sang.

"I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all


The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around" Luke sang. 

"It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all" I sang.


"I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the make-up running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all
No, I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
'Cause I'm really not fine at all " Luke finished and this voice cracked. 

            He had tears coming down his face. He quickly wiped them. I bit back the tears. Luke ran off the stage.  I run after him. I grab his wrist. I see him wince. "Luke" i said softly. "Just leave me alone Cierra go back to everyone else...." Luke said. "No Luke look you're bleeding. Let me help you" I said. Luke shook his head and pulled his arm away. "Cierra Just forget about me, I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't deserve your help" Luke said softly. "Luke even though you hurt me, I still love you enough to help you, come on let's go take you to the washroom" I said and pulled him to the washroom.
