Author's NOte: Hey there guys...I really hate to do this, but if i don't get more than two reviews this chapter then it's obvious that this story isn't good so i'll stop...
Disclamer: I do not own Degrassi...just Millie and Luke
Chapter 3: Now or Never Part One—Millie's POV:
"Millie." he repeats. I don't say anything. I just stare at him. "Millie…"
"Yes." I finally say.
"Maybe we could try this again…"
I cut him off, "Luke, look, I know that it would be easy to get back together with you. Forget everything that happened in the past, but it really can't be that simple. I confided in you that my father was beating me. I told you I was in the car he used to kill my mom, but you didn't believe a single word of it! You were my boyfriend, you should have believed me. I never lied to you ever. But, you didn't believe me."
His face falters and he frowns, "Millie…"
I cut him off, "Like I said; it's going to take a whole hell of a lot to get me back. You can't just apologize and expect me to come back to you." I stand up and walk out of the Dot.
"Really Millie!" he shouts following me back out.
"Yes Luke, you cannot just expect me to fall back into your arms. You gave up!" I shout over my shoulder. He grabs my arm and turns me to face him.
"If you feel nothing for me then you would be trying to squirm out of my grasp," I don't move. "You wouldn't let me do this," he cups my face in his hands. I bite my lip and turn my gaze to the floor. "Or this." he kisses me.
When we break apart I slowly break myself out of his grasp. He looks at me expectantly. Tears fall down my face. "I…I…I have to go…"
"Mil—" he starts, but I don't hear him because I run off. I run down the street until I get to Clare's house.
"Millie." she says when she open the door.
I burst into tears.
"What's wrong?" she asks.
"Can I come in?" I ask. She nods and allows me access to her house.
"Mil, what happened?"
"Luke showed up at the Dot…Clare I really can't stand him. I mean he's Luke…my Luke. And now he's back? This is horrible." I fall onto the couch.
"Your Luke Mil?"
"I love him Clare."
"Then tell him."
"I can't. When we were dating we never said it."
"So? Tell him now. Trust me it's better to get your feeling out in the open…bottled up they do a lot of damage."
"But…I can't just go up to him and tell him 'I love you.' now can I?"
"True, but Mil, at least give him a chance."
I look at her and glare at her baby blue eyes, "The last letter he wrote to me said, and I quote 'It's been two moths and I'm giving up. You would have written me buy now. I'm sorry.' And that one was signed Luke."
"What's the big deal about it being signed Luke?"
"The other two were signed 'Love yours, Luke'."
"Oh."
"See…he gave up on us. He didn't want anything to do with me. Can you see my dilemma now?"
"Mille…he did come to Toronto."
"For what? 'Cause I'm pretty sure it wasn't for me."
"You won't know that unless you ask."
I groan, "Why do you have to be right?"
"Because I'm Clare?"
I toss a throw pillow at her. She sticks her tongue out at me. "Will you come with me to the Dot then?"
"Why?"
"'Cause that's where I left him."
"Why did you leave him?"
"He kissed me."
She smiles, "Let's go."
Luke's POV:
I know I might be stupid to have come back here after five months, but I love her. I always have. And I know I may be stupider to stand here and wait for Millie, even though I don't know why she'd come back. Is it sad to hope that she'll be back?
"Luke."
I turn around and see Millie and some other girl.
"This is Clare, my friend."
I smile and shake her outstretched hand.
"Can we talk?"
"About what?" I ask.
"Just follow me." Millie says. We walk to a table a few feet away from Clare. "I want to know why you came back."
"I—"
"Because if it's for school then I'm just going to leave, but if there's something else…"
I cut her off, "Can I talk?"
She nods.
"Thank you. I came back for…" I can't say it. I can't tell her. Not like this. If I'm going to tell her how I feel the moment has to be perfect.
"I'm listening." she says.
"Can I tell you tonight?" I offer.
"No. It's now or never."
"I…came back for…"
She cuts me off, "Never mind. It's obvious that you're trying to find an easy way to tell me that it wasn't me, so I'll just go." She stands up and starts walking towards Clare.
"Millie!" I shout and take a few steps towards her.
