Luke's pov

'I'll never forget it ' i whisper in her ear and I walk away. As I get closer to where Calum is I am aware of the screaming of teenage girls, I look around to see if any are near, but when i see signs saying you give me purpose and i love you justin i realize that the screams arent for me, so I'm safe, for now, don't get me wrong, I love the fans, but in L.A. we always seem to be mobbed, unlike other places where the fans patiently wait for us.

I see calum in the queue for an airline company "hey mate just book one seat " I say once I reach him. " why? " he asks. " cuz I have a friend out here who I haven't seen in awhile and I miss her so..." I explain rubbing the back of my neck. "Oh ok man " I bro hug him and make my way to the uber.

----

" LUKE!!! " she sprints towards me, before engulfing me in a hug

" hey arz " I smile, I met arzaylea a couple of years back when the boys and I first moved to london, we kinda drifted apart but we met again about a year ago and we've been catching up.

" so what's happening with you and your love scandal " she smirks after we sat down on her couch. I told her about jayde and I, because I can trust her, alot of the fans think we are dating and they hate on her, but in reality we are just friends and half the things they say are false, but as long as I know the real truth about her and she isn't upset, I don't mind, she usually just laughs at the hate

"We are hardly talking " I sigh " why, by the sounds of it, she was really into you " her eyebrows knit together in confusion.

"Michael found out a-" she cuts me off. " is that why they were in hospital " she gasps "Yeah " I sigh

" so what happened " she looks up at me.

----

" oh my god Luke, I'm so sorry, I know you really liked her but you know things happen for a reason,if two people are meant to be they will eventually find their way back. Don't beat yourself up about this, ok" she says after i explain the story, for like the 10th time this week

" I won't " I reassure her

" good " she pecks my cheek and gets up. "Im making coffee, want some " she asks leaning against the door frame. " Yeah that would be great " I smile

----

Arzaylea comes back into the room a few minutes later with two mugs of coffee in her hands. She smiles and hands me one, I smile back.

" hows things with you?" I ask. " ok, I guess " she looks down to her lap. " hey, hey what is it? " I hook my fingers under her chin and make her look at me

{I know they didn't break up like this but shhh}

" Bryan broke up with me, because he thought I was cheating on him with you and the hate is getting worse. I just... my life is pointless" her last sentence is barely audible.

" no, don't you ever say that, think of the people that will miss you, your family, your friends...., me."

I rub her back as tears start to escapade down her face. " I know Luke but there's accounts on instagram, Twitter and Facebook telling me to kill my self and telling me how worthless I am. Saying I'm a gold digger and we aren't even dating " she sobs

"I know, I know, but it'll get better ok, one of the guys will be spotted with someone and the hate will stop and move on to the next girl, ok, " I cup her cheeks

" Thank you Luke, it means alot " she smiles warmly. " it's nothing " I flash her my dimples, which she then pokes, before we both break out into fits of laughter.
