Luke sat in his lounge room pouring his heart out with Maddie. His life had become like some sort of soap opera, almost in a strange way like days of our lives
"I just don't understand it. Why??? Why does all this crap happen to me? I loose the one guy I am deeply in love with and start my life afresh and I go and fuck it up all the time…..maybe I am just so self destructive" he wept while Maddie tried to comfort her.
Minutes even hours passed and nothing had changed. Luke continued his flood of pouring. Maddie just wanting to go to bed, almost sleep and on the verge of pulling her hair out as Luke continued his weeping "well maybe I am just so self destructive…… maybe I am meant to be lonely and single for the rest of my life" he continued to weep and cry.
Maddie having enough stood up and slapped Luke across the face "Oh for the love of fucking Pete's sake. YES your are self destructive….I mean listen to yourself. GOD MEN! Gay men to be exact. Stop playing this fantasy game you think you are in Luke. Maybe if you just be the way we all know you are and can be instead of pretending to be someone your not in playing this pathetic little game it wouldn't be so bad. Maybe then you can find your prince charming but until then all I can say Luke is yes…..yes you are self destructive" Maddie said as she got up and walked off to her bedroom leaving a now very stunned Luke in the living room to think about what she had just said and let it sink in a bit.
The next morning Luke had gotten up, he had decided to make everyone breakfast as he made his way busily around the kitchen mixing stuff in bowls, clanging pans and well over cooking and well killing something in the oven with smoke coming out of the oven making him panic as the fire alarm woke the whole house hold up.
All of a sudden coming into the kitchen was Maddie, Casey, Noah and Reg looking over at Luke and the oven with the billowing smoke as Noah jumped and grabbed the fire extinguisher.
As Noah put out the fire screams could be heard as Maddie, Casey and Reg ran around trying to protect anything that could be moved quickly and kept away from any flames if any as Maddie screamed out towards Luke "What the fuck is wrong with you Luke. Gee's I knew you where messed up but seriously this is not right at all." she said running around trying to help Casey out.
He just stood in the kitchen watching as his world just came crumbling down. He just starred out the window as people yelled and screamed at him. E wondered to himself what he was actually doing with his life. How messed up he was and how true his friends where.
He knew in some ways Maddie was right he was messed up. He couldn't keep a boyfriend if his life depended on it. 'I mean look at his track record, first it was the crush on closet case Kevin (thank god he came out in a way) then Noah who he still loves very much but as he'd moved on with Reg (his 3rd ex just after Arnold and Kane, god what dickheads they where), then the whole closet case granny stealing husband or what ever you can call it Brian Wheatly, then his other little flings like Roth, Andrew, Steven, Stephan, Mike, Jake, Ricky, Tim, Ryan, Matt, Henry, Glenn, Robert, James, Peter, Sven, Ricardo, Nick, Josh, Dean, Blake, Scott, Brett, Carl, David, Gerard, Todd - god have I seriously slept and well had some sort of intimate crappy moment with THAT many guy??? God I am a slut and there is the proof right there' Luke thought to himself.
He had snapped out to finally notice that everyone was starring right at him, their faces looking somewhat worried but others of just frustration as if they where talking with him but just ignoring them.
"Sorry did you say something" Luke said turning around and finally snapping out of his thoughts for a moment at least as he looked at a very frustrated Noah.
Noah looked in amazement. It was never like Luke to not listen at all unless he was putting himself or in some sort of deep thought, like he used to be when he had started writing for the Oakdale paper.
Oh those where the days he thought to himself but quickly snapping out of his own thoughts to he looked at Luke as he said "Well WHAT I was saying is that Luke you need some help. I mean where are here for you buddy but you need professional help which we cannot give you. So what I think is best for you, for us as well is to see a c shrink or something. There is a good shrink down near Oakdale Memorial. I can see if I can get you an appointment ASAP?" Noah said to Luke, watching his Luke's face fell towards the ground he seemed to be sinking right into.
Is this what his world has come down to? Being told and well forced by his friend to seek professional help? To see a shrink and expose his very well colourful and well crazy world he truly lived in. is he that crazy that his friends want him gone?
His mind worked overtime but his face continued to fall. he knew they where right but in a way it as admitting self defeat he thought to himself. But what if it could truly turn his life around, maybe even give him a chance to stand up to his own fears and maybe win the heart back of his one true love before he married the creep from hell Reg.
He looked at all of them as he said "well I suppose I have no choice right" shrugging his shoulders into the air as Maddie said "damn straight boy. You need help and its hep we aren't able to give you. We are doing this for you good Hun ok. We love you too much to let this hurt you any further ok. isn't that right guys?" Maddie said as she walked over to Luke and placed her brought Luke into a hug looking at the others around her trying to get her point across.
"Yeah she is right Luke" Casey said as he came over hugging Luke too as Noah joined in but Reg just nodded and said "well all I can say is I hope your little crazy stunts don't end up in the way in a months time for our big day" he said smiling as he crossed his arms.
Oh god the pain, just his reminder was enough to bring up how much he truly had lost Noah and wanted him back. In a way yeah he and Reg HAD been best friends but he knew Reg to be more of a slut more than anything else. He couldn't understand what Noah really saw in the creep. But he was determined now to really get the help and somewhat remind Noah of the good times they had and well get him back. Even if it did involve getting rid of Reg once and for all but it would be worth it.
Maddie and the others looked at Reg and where about to comment as Noah said "I am sure Luke wouldn't ruin anything so special between us just because he is having a few problems right Luke" he said looking over at Luke as Luke smiled and said "no….I would never do anything to hurt you or your friends Noah. You all mean the world to me very much and I would never put that in jeopardy" smiling towards Reg as he looked at Luke suspiciously.
