Fake Love - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 18

Tiff’s POV –

Two weeks. That’s all it took for my heart to completely break and sink to the bottom. This was also the amount of time I hadn’t heard from Luke. Maybe all the newspapers and magazines were right. Maybe he was over me. So much for I will always love you. I remember someone once telling me

Sometimes, you have to try not to care, no matter how much you actually do. Because most of the time, the things we care most about in life move on and forget every memory they ever share with you. They may mean the world to you or nothing at all. But one thing is always clear……………..you will never forget them

I thought I would at least get a call of Phoebe, or even Ash……………….but no. I guess that I didn’t mean enough to them. Now I was just sitting in this new apartment, crying myself to sleep every night. Just wishing that Luke or someone would burst through that door and love me again. I have no one, and it was most likely that it would stay that way. Maybe for another week, or maybe forever. Honestly, I should have known Luke would fall for Ella again. Although it pains me to say it, she is pretty, sort of smart and rich. Everything you would want in a girlfriend really. What do I have? A shitty apartment and a broken heart. That’s me!

I had to stop doing this, sitting around moping. Swiftly I sit up from the sofa and go to switch on the radio. Slowly the song becomes more clearer. The presenter couldn’t have picked a worse song

So lately, been wondering

Who will be there to take my place?

When I'm gone, you'll need love

To light the shadows on your face

If a great wave shall fall

It would fall upon us all

And between the sand and stone

Could you make it on your own?

 

The song brings back to many painful memories. But I can’t bring myself to get up and switch it off. Instead I sit back on the couch and let my thoughts wander

If I could, then I would

I'll go wherever you will go

Way up high or down low

I'll go wherever you will go

 

And maybe I'll work out

A way to make it back some day

Towards you, to guide you

Through the darkest of your days

 

The memories of our first date come to mind, also bringing tears. That night was truly perfect in every way. If only I still had the necklace to prove it. The night before I left, the management team asked me to hand it back in so they could exchange it for a one with Ella on it. They basically had to rip it out of my hand. Obviously I didn’t want to give it away. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life, my most prized possession. The idiots that worked for the team didn’t see that. They were all just selfish bastards who did it for a bit more money

If a great wave shall fall

It would fall upon us all

Well I hope there's someone out there

Who can bring me back to you?

 

If I could, then I would

I'll go wherever you will go

Way up high or down low

I'll go wherever you will go

The song came to an end and I hurriedly switched off the radio in case another song like that came on. I decided that it was just best to go out. Maybe the fresh air would help clear my mind. Silently, I got my coat and shoes and made my way into the streets. The only good thing about this apartment was that there was a Starbucks around the corner. Also, it was almost always empty, so quiet

Once again there was no queue to I walked straight up to the counter and ordered my regular. As the lady handed me the cup, I turned and bumped straight into someone, spilling my hot chocolate all over myself and the person

“Oh my God, im so sorry” I say looking at the persons shirt. Well he looks buff…………….like Luke. Stop it Tiffany!

“No its ok, I quite enjoy it when beautiful girls bump into me” He chuckles and I lift my head, now getting a better look at his face. Well then………… I blush at his compliment and look down at my shirt to see the stains already forming

“Are you ok? Can I get you another coffee or whatever you had?” He asks rushing but I chuckle slightly

“No I’m fine thank you” I say. Quickly I zip up my jacket as my top started to become see through

“Please, it’s the least I can do” The man pleaded and I smile slightly. I still did want my drink. I nod and he walks up to the counter smiling

“I’m Brad by the way” He turns to me and smirks

Luke’s POV –

Two fucking weeks. Two fucking weeks management has stopped me from talking to Tiff. It was killing me. I looked a complete mess, I was. I don’t think I have slept properly since she left, all I’ve done is cry and try to avoid El wherever possible. Phoebe had already told me about what happened between them both. All I knew is that Phoebe had her number, but now its gone. Forever. I knew that one day she would find someone else. Who wouldn’t fall in love with her. She’s just beautiful. But that someone wouldn’t be me. And that is what kills me the most. The same thing was going through my head for the past few days

I may never get her back

Just remember everyone - Dont look backwards for very long..........keep moving forward. Open new doors and do new things because youre curious. And curiousity keeps leading you down new paths..............
