Luke's POV:
I get out of that building as fast as I can. I go home to a house still full of boxes from moving and change into normal clothes. Ben is waiting there on my couch. "Lucas Ethan Smith! What the hell did you do to my sister this time?"
"Um. Well this girl kissed me and your sister happened to have walked in on it."
"Say what?"
"Bro it was like kissing a dog. Or a frog or something gross."
"Go apologize to Leigha please. She's been playing that damn guitar all day."
"No problem. I was planning on it."
I walk in like I have for years. Aunt Jan is in the kitchen making dinner and the girls are on the couch. I hear Leigha playing her guitar. "Hey guys. Has she been up there all day?"
"Hi dumbass and yes," my little sister says not looking away from the tv.
"Don't talk to me that way Sara."
"You are a dumbass. I'll talk to you how I want."
"Whatever." I take the stair two at a time. I hear Leigha singing.
"Feeling like a fool for trying
I don't even remember
Why I'm wasting all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through
Wasting all these tears on you
These tears on you
You ain't worth another sleepless night
And I'll do everything I gotta do to get you off my mind
Cause what you wanted I couldn't get
What you did, boy I'll never forget"
I knock on her door and she stopped. "Go away!"
"Leigha, that was beautiful. What song is that?"
"Like you care asshole."
"I do care. She kissed me! It was like kissing a dog. I love you!"
"Buzz off Luke!" She starts to sing again.
"And you left me
Standing on a corner crying
Feeling like a fool for trying
I don't even remember
Why I'm wasting all these tears on you
I wish I could erase our memory
Cause you didn't give a damn about me
Oh, finally I'm through"
"Do you really want to erase our memory?" I question quietly.
"RIght now yeah."
"Do you really think I don't give a damn about you?"
"Yeah. Why else would you kiss her?"
"She kissed me! Do you seriously think I would kiss her back?"
