It had been exactly three days since your strange interaction with Michael and the guilt you'd been feeling was eating you up.
Although you had no real obligation to Luke to confess your sin, you kinda had to. Michael was his best friend and despite the fact that Luke was a cheating pig he deserved to know what had happened.
So, at exactly 5:45pm you texted Luke asking him to come over and telling him you need to talk and he'd been quick to respond with the promise that he would be over shortly. You paced around nervously, looking out of the window every five seconds to see if Luke's car had pulled up yet.
Exactly ten minutes later the doorbell rang.
You skipped to it and pulled it open, as you did so your mouth dropped open in shock. He'd brought Michael with him who was looking at you guiltily as he stood silently behind Luke. "Luke. I thought we were going to talk alone." You tried to subtly get rid of Michael as having him there would make for an incredibly awkward conversation.
"Anything you want to say to me you can say in front of my best friend." Luke smiled and let himself in, walking past you and into the living room where he quickly made himself comfortable on the sofa. Michael shadowed behind him after giving you a small, polite nod and staring at his feet as he followed behind Luke.
"So... You wanna get back together?" Luke dove straight in.
"What?" You gaped at him.
"Baby... I want it too."
"Luke! That's not why I asked you to come around."
"Its okay babe, you can admit it. You're lonely now and you need me. Its fine princess, you don't have to beg for me to come back." Luke stood up and pulled you into a hug but you stood there motionless and completely shocked.
"You arrogant dick!" You spat, pulling away from him and leaving him confused. Michael was doing his best to look interested in his phone but failing and the discomfort was plain on his face. "You cheated on me! I'm not begging for you to take me back!" You were outraged now at how rudely assumptuous Luke had been and how blatantly ridiculous too and you couldn't control the words coming out of your mouth before it was too late. "I called you here because I kissed Michael!" You yelled out and immediately regretted it.
The atmosphere in the room changed dramatically and a tense silence drifted over everyone. Luke was stood completely still, looking at you incredulously. Michael had put his phone down and was chewing nervously on his bottom lip, his green eyes flicking between you and Luke, waiting for someone to say something.
"You're kidding right?" Luke asked, his eyes wide and angry.
"No. That night at the party, he drove me home, I was super upset and we kissed." You confessed in one breathe, getting it all out. Luke's face went white and his breathing grew heavier and everything was silent for just a second, then it kicked off.
He roared in rage and kicked your table, sending the things atop it flying across the room, shattering two glasses and sending the tiny shards of glass hurtling across the floor. Michael jumped up out of his seat and went to Luke in an attempt to calm him down but as Michael approached Luke swung for his face and his fist collided just below Michaels left eye socket. He took no time in swinging again and punched him again on the other side of his face before pushing him against the wall and pinning him by his neck.
"That's my girlfriend you fucking traitor!" Luke shouted at him as Michael struggled to break free of Luke's grasp.
"Luke let go of him!" You screamed at him to no avail.
"You treated her like shit!" Michael choked out. "She's deserves- much better than you!"
"Luke get off of him now! We're over! I don't love you anymore and I want you out of my house..." Luke let go of Michael who immediately began gasping for air.
"You don't love me?" He whispered, hurt.
"I did. I loved you so damn much and then you broke my heart. If you want someone to blame, don't blame Michael or me, blame yourself. You threw everything we had away for some girl at a party." There were tears in your eyes now.
"Can't we forget it ever happened? It was a mistake... I love you." His voice was timid and fragile and it caused you a lot of pain to see him like this, but he had to accept it was over now. You didn't love him anymore.
"No. I can't forgive you for cheating on me. This is it, Luke." He started to sob a little and there was a part of you that just wanted to hurl yourself into his arms and tell him you forgave him and that it was all going to be okay.
But you just couldn't.
Luke wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve and nodded silently at you, he turned to look at Michael who was crumpled on the floor, holding his hand to a cut under his eye and watching the two of you intently. Luke shook his head and inhaled. "I don't blame you Mike. You're right, she deserves to be treated like a princess. If you're the one who can do that, okay. Just don't break her heart like I did, losing her is the worst thing you'll ever go through." Luke's voice was raspy and evidently he was trying not to cry, he gave you one final sad look before walking out of the house.
You sighed to yourself and tried to hold in your own tears before going ahead to start cleaning up Michael.
