Chapter 8: Lucas' POV
I screwed up, screwed up completely. How could I let myself be convinced that I was doing this for her when I knew for a fact that it would hurt her more than anything else I could've done to her. Now I'm sat here just thinking about her and she won't even talk to me. I've tried but she won't answer her phone, she won't reply to my messages and she always logs off her computer when I try to I.M her. I don't know what to do, I'd drag my sorry ass over there if I didn't know that her dad would probably throw me off his porch. Why can't he see how much I love his daughter? Then again she's probably doubting my love for her right now. I promised I'd do better and look at me now, a fresh wound in my back and I made her cry. If that's my definition of doing better then I really need to rethink it all.
I'm sat here staring at her live web feed, she's just got home. Please don't cover the camera, I need to just see you. She's so beautiful but that sparkle has disappeared from her eyes. I know I could put it back if she'd let me but I don't know how right now. I can't just say I'm sorry, she knows that, she's heard that so many times, she doesn't need to hear it again, she needs to experience. I hear a noise and turn to my door to see Haley leaning against the frame, 'You know Luke, that could be considered stalking in many states' she grins widely and I can't help but laugh her true 'Haleyness'. 'You miss her huh? Me too.' She didn't even let me answer but she just knows. I know Peyton has avoided her too and I feel even worse, Haley and Peyton became really close over the last year.
'I don't know what to do Hales, she won't talk to me, she just avoids me.' 'Well Luke I can't say I blame her, you lied to her, and no I'm not trying to guilt trip you I'm just saying. I mean I was angry when you told me what happened but we're best friends, if I can't get through everything with you I'm useless to you.' She just smiles and carries on, 'Now Peyton, I know where she'll be today if that helps, even Brooke is thinking of you both, although she does stress that she's loved having her best friend around so much this past week but she said that Peyt is unhappy and she can't stand that.' This made me smile, if I could just bump into her and make her listen, everything would turn out alright. 'Haley, where and when?' Haley smiled at me, even she knew I'd go to the end of the earth for this girl. She's too important to lose now.
Haley told me where to be and when, even Brooke was in on this because Haley called her to tell her that everything was set. I just have to think of something good to bring for her to prove how truly sorry I am. Flowers? Too corny. Jewellery? Nothing too expensive, too suckup-ish. I don't know I'll just wing it, if it comes from the heart I know she'll forgive me, I just have to do better. I will for her, this is what I needed. The thought of losing her so strong in my mind that I WILL do better. Hearing her cry? That's something I never want to experience again and I don't plan too either.
