Choose - Season 1 - Episode 74

…
The lunch bell rang ten minutes ago, and i’ve been standing at my locker deciding if I should actually go meet Travis or not. I honestly don’t think he would try anything with half the school in sight, but I just don’t know what he wants to tell me. What if he made some new plot with Brooke and is going to attempt to break Luke and I up for the billionth time. I know it’s not going to work because nothing anyone does or says will ever make me question Luke again, I just hate all the drama these people create.

I sigh as I shut my locker and begin to walk to the quad. I told Travis I would go and the only reason why I am still going is because we actually used to be friends, and I guess a part of me is hoping that same person is still in there.

I get to the quad and see Travis sitting alone at one of the far tables. I walk over and slowly sit down.

“Hey.” I mumble.
“Hey, May.” Travis says.
I give an awkward smile and then look down at the table, unsure of what to say.
“Jeez, do you really hate me so much that you have absolutely nothing to say to me?” Travis asks.

It’s not that I hate Travis, he’s just not my favourite person ever since he tried to help Brooke break Luke and I up.
“I don’t hate you.” I tell him honestly.
“You just dislike me?” Travis chuckles.
I give a small shrug. Travis and I really could have been great friends if he didn’t have to go behind my back.

“What uh―what did you want to tell me?” I question.

He takes a deep breath.
“Well first off I want to apologize for everything Brooke and I did. Well, everything I did. I honestly can’t believe I did something so disgusting. I hope one day we could be friends again or even if you can just tolerate me, i’d take that. I know that probably won’t ever happen but I want you to know that i’ve never regretted anything more than what I did to you and Luke. So I really am so sorry.” Travis apologizes.

I smile at his words. It’s really sweet that he actually apologized and realized how wrong what he did really was.

“Thank you, Travis. It honestly means so much to me that you actually apologized. I don’t know if we’ll ever get back to the place we used to be at in our friendship, and honestly I don’t think it’s the greatest idea for us to be friends in general. But, I’d really love to graduate being on good terms with you.” I say.

I don’t think Travis and I will ever be friends again. It’s not that I don’t want to, but it’s mainly because of Luke. I don’t let Luke decide my friends but I would hate if Luke became friends with Brooke just because she apologized. So it’s not fair that I become friends with Travis. I think Luke and I are better off without any of these people.

“Yeah, i’d like that.” Travis says with a smile.

I return the smile as I slowly stand up, ready to leave and go sit with Caroline.

“Oh, that wasn’t what I wanted to tell you. I just wanted you to know I was sorry, I still have something else to say.” Travis says.
“Oh.” I say as I sit back down.
“It’s about Brooke.” Travis says.
I roll my eyes. Of course it’s about her. I honestly don’t think I can go five hours without hearing her name.

“Okay.” I say, stretching the word.
“Earlier this morning you asked her how she got ahold of Luke’s phone and knew about him having Destiny’s number.” He started.
I nod my head. “Yeah…”
“Well, Brooke never got ahold of Luke’s phone. She wishes she did, but she hasn’t been near Luke in forever. Brooke is friends with Destiny. Their parents are best friends or something. She told us that she was hanging out with Destiny one day and Destiny brought up how she hooked up with some guy at a party and got his number but he ran out. Then she said his name was Luke. Brooke immediately thought of your Luke, but didn’t think it could have been possible. Brooke pulled up a picture of Luke and asked if this was who she was talking about and sure enough, it was. Destiny asked Brooke how she knew Luke but she just lied and said she only knew him because he used to go to the same school as her. Brooke told her that she should text him and ask him why he ran out. So she did, and that’s how Luke got her number, and that’s how Brooke knew.” Travis explains.

Wow. It all makes sense. Of course two girls like that would be friends. And of course Brooke would try to start something up. It’s not that I didn’t believe Luke with what he told me because I one-hundred percent do, but now it just really all adds up. I’m thankful Travis told me this, but why would he tell me if him and Brooke are friends?
“Brooke’s just bullshitting you when she says its ‘between her and Luke.'” He says, putting air quotes up. “There’s nothing between the two of them. Brooke just has some disturbing obsession with Luke. It creeps everyone out to be completely honest.”

“Thank you for telling me all of this but, why did you? I mean, why would you go behind your friend’s back to tell me this?” I ask.
He laughs. “Brooke and I aren’t friends. Well, we used to be―until this whole thing with you, Luke and her started up and I finally opened up my eyes and realized what a shitty person she really is. I’ve just been pretending like nothing’s wrong between us because if she ever plans something else to break you two up, at least i’ll know and i’ll be able to tell you.” He says.
Travis really is a great person. Sure, he made a mistake when he kissed me and tried to help Brooke, but at least he realized how wrong that was.
“Why would you do that for me?” I ask.
“Because, I still consider you my friend even if you don’t consider me yours.” He tells me.

We spend the rest of lunch together getting caught up on what we’ve missed in each other’s lives. Before lunch ended, I made sure to tell him we aren’t exactly friends, but I did tell him i’m willing to try. After his explanation, I think he deserves another chance. Besides, after I tell Luke what Travis said, i’m sure he’ll like him a bit more.

School ends and I go straight out the doors, looking for Calum’s car just like Luke said to. I spot it and walk towards it, getting in the back seat beside Luke.

“Hey, babe.” Luke smiles as he leans over to kiss me.

“Hey.” I say once we pull away.
“Hi guys.” I say to Calum and Ashton.
“You ready for movie night?” Ashton asks.
“Yeah! Who’s picking tonight?” I ask.
“Ash-” Calum begins before Luke cuts him off.

“You.” Luke says.
Ashton turns around to look at us. “But I thought I was-”

“I said May is picking it, alright?” Luke barks.
“Alright, jeez.” Ashton says as he turns back around, crossing his arms childishly.
“Ashton can choose the movie, Luke. It’s fine.” I whisper to Luke, giggling slightly at Luke’s behaviour…… I know he’s only doing this because of what I told him earlier this morning about how I miss Michael being here.

“No, you can choose it. Ashton doesn’t care. Him and Cal always choose the same movies anyways.” Luke laughs.
“Okay.” I say.
We get to Calum’s ten minutes later and all file out of the car. We walk inside and take off our shoes, going to sit in the living room.
“Okay so what movie, May?” Ashton asks.
“Um, I don’t know. The Outsiders?”
“I f-----g love that movie!” Calum exclaims.
“Yeah, only because you have some weird a-s man crush on Rob Lowe.” Ashton laughs.
“F--k you! Just because Sodapop is my favourite character doesn’t mean I have a crush on Rob Lowe!” Calum whines.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, Calum Lowe.” Ashton teases, causing Luke and I to break out into laughter.

The laughter dies down and Calum and Ashton get into conversation about whether the book or the movie was better. I take this as my chance to talk to Luke.
“I need to talk to you.” I whisper to Luke, making sure no one can hear.
He looks at me and nods.
“We’ll be right back.” Luke tells Calum and Ashton as he takes my hand.
“Guys, come on. Not in my house.” Calum groans.

“Ew, you pig! We’re not going to do that .” I laugh.
Luke and I walk out onto the patio and shut the door behind us.
“What do you need to talk to me about?” Luke asks, sitting directly across from me.
“Okay well I talked to Travis and he explained everything.” I start.
“Explained what?” He asks.
I’m surprised but happy that Luke didn’t freak out at me for talking to Travis. Our relationship really has progressed over these past few months and i’m so happy for that. We’re starting to communicate much better and not just jump to conclusions.
“He explained how Brooke knew you had Destiny’s number. Turns out they’re friends and Destiny told her about how you two um, yeah.” I cringe at the thought. “Well bottom line is that Brooke knew you had the number because she’s the one who told her to text you.” I tell him.
“Makes sense.” Luke says.
“I’m just glad all that’s over. I’m done with all this Brooke drama. Did I tell you I told her off at school today?”
Luke’s eyes light up. “No way! What did you say?”

I giggle and shrug my shoulders. “I just told her that you’ll never love her and her obsession with you is just embarrassing at this point.”

“That’s my girl.” Luke smirks as he pulls my chair closer to him and presses his lips to mine.

We pull away and lean our foreheads on one another.

“Thanks for not freaking out when I said I talked to Travis. I know how much you don’t want me talking to him.” I murmur.
“You told me that you were going to trust me from now on, and i’m doing the same. I don’t ever want us to fight the way we used to.” Luke tells me.
“Me neither.” I say.
“Come on let’s get back inside before Cal and Ash think we’re f-----g out here.” Luke laughs.

“Luke!” I groan as I swat his arm.
“Save the name m0an!ng for later on tonight, baby.” Luke smirks.
I shake my head at Luke’s dirty mouth. He takes my hand and we walk back into Calum’s living room. Luke and I take a seat on the empty couch. He lays across it and I lay between his legs, leaning back onto his chest.
“Everything good?” Calum asks before clicking play on the movie.
I look up at Luke and smile. “Yeah, everything’s great.”
And for the first time in what felt like forever, it truly was……..
