Ruin Me {Luke Patterson x OC}
Summary: Finley is Los Feliz High’s golden girl. Straight As, captain of the cheer squad and the dance team, dating the captain of the lacrosse team, and the pride and joy of her parents. But her childhood best friend and her have had an agreement since they were 16. No feelings, no strings, nobody knows. Especially not her boyfriend.
Warning: Smut. 
Word count: 12.2k
Based on Lustra’s Scotty Doesn’t Know.
“Fuck, that was good.” 
Finley rolled her eyes and pulled the sheets up to her chest, turning to face Luke as dropped down beside her, running a hand through his sweaty hair. He sat up on his elbow and smirked down at her, taking in her flushed face and messed up hair. 
“You good?” 
He held a fist out to her, and she rolled her eyes but smirked, and fist bumped him. 
“Shut up.” 
Luke pretended to bow to a non-existent audience, chuckling as he dropped back onto his pillow. Finley looked at the clock on the wall and sighed, sitting up with the sheet wrapped around her, and gathering her clothes from around the floor, where they’d been scattered earlier. 
“You know, you really shouldn’t worry about covering up in front of me. I mean, the things you just let me do to you- why do you even bother?” 
Pulling her shorts on, and frowning at her messed up hair, Finley rolled her eyes once again at her old best friend, and smoothed down her shirt. 
“It’s the principle of it. We have sex, we finish, I leave. That’s how it is.” 
Luke shrugged, and rested his hands behind his head, sitting up against his headboard.
She wasn’t wrong. This was how it had been since the start of their Junior year. Finley had been dating the lacrosse team captain for 4 months, but he’d made it very clear he wanted to wait a while before doing the deed. Being the respectful and loving girlfriend she was- she’d turned to her best friend. Luke Patterson, notorious for breaking hearts at Los Feliz high, was more than happy to help her out, coming up with an arrangement that meant he got an easy fuck, and she got her needs satisfied. There were no feelings whatsoever between the two of them, and they didn’t speak outside of making plans and seeing them through. Cheating on Scott wasn’t easy- but she told herself it was just temporary, and it was better than letting their relationship suffer because she felt neglected. God knows she’d helped Scott enough times, simply by walking around his bedroom in a sports bra, or making out with him for an hour. He was a nice boy, destined for college, who came from a nice family and a nice church. A church that she’d attended with him quite a few times. He was too nice, sometimes. 
Luke was the polar opposite of Scott. 17, in a rockband, on the brink of dropping out of school, and swearing off God since age 12. They’d been best friends all through middle school, but that all changed when they reached high school, and Finley had started to rise through the social ranks, quickly earning queen bee status. Now, as captain of both the dance team and the cheer team, she was expected to behave herself. Walking to class hand in hand with her golden boy boyfriend, pass all of her classes, attend cheer practice, coach the dance team, go home and study. Cheer at Scott’s game on Fridays after school, get a milkshake with him at the diner afterwards. Spend Saturdays at cheer practice for a few hours, then heading straight to her best friend Sasha’s house for a study session, before having dinner with her entire family. Sunday’s were her favourite though. She’d wake up early, dress simply, and drive to the other side of town. She’d tell her parents she was going to see Scott, tell Scott she was going to church, and tell Sasha she was going to the gym. In her defense, she was working out. Just not quite the way her best friend thought. 
Monday saw the Los Feliz 1995 Junior prom queen walking through the halls, high ponytail secured with a bright blue scrunchie, cheer skirt perfectly pressed, and trainers so white they looked new. The walls were papered with posters about the upcoming dance, the theme having been decided by her and a few of the girls from dance. A romantic weekend in Paris, they’d decided, with roses decorating the tables, and a colour theme of red and white. Hopefully it wouldn’t clash too much with the Valentine’s dance, the theme for which was still to be confirmed, despite it’s arrival in less than a month. There were a lot of dances at Los Feliz, thanks to the musical and dancing talent in their school. Luke’s band was playing the next homecoming dance, after Finley put a good word in for them, feeling like she owed Luke something. She didn’t know how it didn’t eat away at him, sleeping with someone elses girlfriend. But then she caught sight of him leaning over Jessie Wilson, a Junior who’d recently joined the dance team, and was reminded once again, that Luke was the definition of a player. Finley wrinkled her nose as Luke pushed a strand of hair off of Jessie’s face, the younger girl nearly melting into a puddle at Luke’s feet. Luke noticed her watching, and sent her a wink, making her scowl, as she tried to subdue the blush creeping up her cheeks. 
“Hey babe, you alright?” 
Finley smiled up at her suddenly appeared boyfriend, and pressed a kiss to his cheek, pushing all thoughts of Luke in the janitor’s closet out of her mind. 
“I’m fine, just thinking about the routine for Friday’s game. Are we still on for milkshakes?” She smiled sweetly, intertwining their fingers. Scott shrugged and ran his free hand through his sandy curls, his eyes fixed on something in the distance. 
“Yeah, sure.” 
He started walking towards the english room, tugging her gently alongside him. 
“I was gonna ask you- do you fancy coming to my church with me on Sunday? My pastor wants to see you again, and speak to you about running that cheer camp I mentioned?” 
Finley’s eyes widened, and she cleared her throat. 
“I wish I could, but I told my pastor I’d stay behind after the service and help with the kids... I’m so sorry.” 
Finley smiled apologetically, but was surprised when Scott flashed her an adoring grin, reaching out a hand to brush a strand of hair off her face as they reached her class. 
“Don’t worry about it- that’s incredible. You’re incredible. I don’t know how you find the time for all of these things. How’d I get so lucky?” 
He leant down and pressed a kiss to her temple, before waving goodbye as he headed to the science labs. Finley laughed half-heartedly as she waved back, turning and walking into english with a quiet groan. 
Maths was next period, but as Finley sat down in her desk, someone appeared on her shoulders, his musky aftershave identifying him before he could speak. 
“Don’t touch me, Lucas.” 
Finley shrugged her shoulders, forcing him to sit back in his seat, the desk behind hers. 
“Funny, that’s not what you were saying yesterday.” 
He was muttering, but Finley caught it, spinning round to glare at him as he chuckled. 
“Not funny. Someone might hear you!” 
She glanced around her fearfully, shooting a convincing smile at the group of cheerleaders towards the back, before dropping it and continuing her glare. 
“Relax, you don’t have to be golden girl all the time you know. No-one cares if you drop the act for once in your life.” 
Finley groaned, and turned back around, making sure her ponytail flicked him in the face as she did so. 
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten what it feels like.” 
His voice was soft in her ear, and she closed her eyes as his fingers ran through a handful, begging the memories of many previous Sundays to stop playing through her mind. 
“Hey Finley, what’s up?” 
Sasha’s arrival saw Finley lean forward, forcing Luke to remove his hands from her hair, watching her with a smirk as she spoke to her best friend. 
“Hey Sash, I’m good. How was your weekend? Sorry I missed your call on Sunday, I was at church.” 
Sasha winked at her, and giggled. 
“You’re still telling him you go to church on a Sunday? Poor boy, if only he knew.” 
Finley laughed nervously and drummed her pen on the desk, twirling her ponytail around a finger. Luke’s ears perked up at this; had Finley told Sasha what was going on between them? Finley laughed alongside her friend, the nervous tone in it only picked up by the carefully listening rockstar wannabe, who knew her inside out. Literally. 
“Of course. Honestly, don’t know how he believes me. He thinks this body comes from just cheer and dance? No, it’s the 4 hour weight session with Charlie every Sunday. I’ll tell him one day, but for now, I’ve got to keep in shape.” 
Finley ran her hands down her sides at this, and arched her back slightly, knowing Luke’s eyes would be on her. They were, and he smirked at her action, kicking the leg of her chair gently so she knew. 
“Of course, got to keep him interested. And, of course, there’s the matter of homecoming.” 
Sasha winked at Finley, who blushed and looked at her desk, silently praying Luke had stopped listening for some reason. 
“Yeah, duh.” 
Saved by the appearance of their math teacher, Finley sighed with relief and pulled out her textbook. Luke diverted his attention out the window, his mind drifting to what could possibly be happening at next Friday’s homecoming that he’d missed.
*
The week passed in a flash, with Finley avoiding Luke at all costs. They reached Friday morning not having spoken since Monday, when Luke finally cornered her in the hallway after lunch, while everyone else was in class. 
“Luke. Hey.” 
She blinked up at him, towering over her lithe frame as she leaned against her locker. 
“Fin. You still on for Sunday?” Finley looked around her fearfully, pushing him lightly in the chest once she was satisfied the corridor was empty. 
“Shut up. Yeah, same as always.” 
Luke narrowed his eyes at her, leaning in close so she could feel his breath on her face. He was hardly an inch away, his cocky smirk almost pressed up against her lips. 
“Luke-” He reached his thumb up and pulled her bottom lip down lightly, his eyes growing dark and hungry, before laughing and walking away, shoving his hands deep in his pockets. Finley groaned and brushed down her clothes, willing away the fierce blush that had appeared on her cheeks. That boy was going to be the death of her. 
*
“Game night, wooo! Favourite night of the week. I get to rock the field, and then spend time with my perfect girl.” 
Finley smiled weakly at her over excited boyfriend, his lacrosse uniform on, leaning against the wall as he watched her paint careful blue swirls on her face. 
“Yeah, should be great. You’ll be awesome.” 
She pressed a chaste kiss to his cheek, checking her uniform in the mirror one more time. White and blue uniform, blue bow tied around her ponytail, blue face paint swirling on her cheekbones. The epitome of bobcat spirit in a couple stood in front of her, and she found herself wondering for the 1000th time that week, why she wasn’t perfectly content. Scott was so sweet, and he cared about her. She’d met his family, and they all adored her, she’d met his pastor, who’d also loved her. They were perfect for each other. But why wasn’t it enough for her? Banishing those thoughts from her mind, she plastered a smile on, and cracked her knuckles. Time to win a game, and show the school why she deserved to be queen bee.
The bleachers were filled with a sea of blue and silver, signs held high above the Los Feliz students’ heads, Bobcat posters lining the walls of the field. Finley was dancing around in front of the bleachers, cheering for the bobcat team as they scored yet again, doing a handspring before jumping on Sasha’s back and running around yelling happily. She loved cheering, always had done since she had joined the squad in her Freshman year. The other girls were chanting, clapping and jumping on the sidelines, watching with wide grins as their captain and vice ran round the bleachers, now on opposite sides. Sasha gave Finley a look, who returned it with a nod, before launching into a complex tumbling routine simultaneously. Pairing a triple back handspring with a full twist and a back somersault, she landed it with a proud smile, panting slightly. Sasha, now directly opposite her, bowed to the screaming students, and ran over, wrapping an arm round her best friends’ waist. 
“I knew we could do that. That had to look sick.” 
Finley nodded, walking into the group of Bobcat cheerleaders and organizing them into place for stunts. With the base group formed up, Finley watched carefully as Sasha was tossed up in the air, alongside Leila. With Finley as their captain, and the smallest on the team, it made sense for her to be top flyer. Taking a deep breath, she broke into a run, before throwing a back handspring and feeling herself getting caught by girls at the front, who boosted her to Sasha and Leila, who pulled her up onto their hands. Three tier pyramid, her foot firmly lodged in Sasha and Leila’s hands, her arms high above her head. She beamed as she looked around the bleachers, knowing she’d impressed everyone. It had been a long time since someone had managed to get the bobcat cheer team in as good a place as Finley had it. She was talented, and being the kind of person she was, it wasn’t difficult to get people to listen to her. But her pride was short lived. Someone slipped beneath her, and she cursed quietly under her breath, tensing her entire body. Sasha stumbled, letting go of Finley, who’s entire weight was now on Leila, who was far too small to handle her on her own. Finley groaned and threw herself backwards, tucking into a ball and hoping for the best. She’d landed back somersaults from that height before, but without a steady base, she had no idea where this would go. She did land it, but a sickening crunch as she did so made her fall to the floor in agony, clutching her ankle and yelping. The first person to her side was Sasha, who was blurting out apologies through tears, pulling her into an awkward hug, while Finley rolled her eyes and tried to calm her through gritted teeth. 
“It’s okay Sash. Can you go get ice or something?” 
Sasha nodded and ran off, and Finley peered at her ankle. It seemed fine, maybe a little twisted, but not broken. Movement out of the corner of her eye made her look up, and she caught sight of Luke, leaning against the side of the bleachers, his eyes trained on her. He looked... worried? Finley didn’t have time to contemplate this, as she felt someone wrap their arms around her, and carry her over to the side, resting her against the bench. 
“Hey babe, are you alright? That was a nasty fall.” 
Scott stroked her face gently, his face red and his hair plastered to his forehead with sweat. 
“I’m alright Scotty. Go win this game for me, okay?” Scott nodded and pressed a kiss to her cheek, before running off. 
“Scotty? Really? God you two are sickening.” 
Finley rolled her eyes at Luke’s tone, rubbing her leg. 
“What do you want, Patterson? I’m a bit busy, if you hadn’t noticed.” 
Luke nodded and knelt down, holding up an ice pack. 
“Shut up and let me help you.” 
Finley snapped her lips shut and winced as Luke pressed the ice to her ankle, holding it in place with surprisingly gentle fingers. 
“That was stupid. You knew you might fall.” 
He sounded bored, but there was a hint of concern in his voice that Finley hadn’t expected to hear. 
“I was fine. I’ve done it a million times before- Sasha just slipped.”
Luke snorted, and adjusted the way he was kneeling. 
“Yeah well Sasha just slipping, nearly had you landing on your head. Get some better cheerleaders, won’t you? Half of them aren’t even hot- swear that’s literally the whole point of you guys.” 
Finley resisted the urge to smack him, and took a deep breath. 
“They’re good. And don’t be so degrading. Girls shouldn’t be valued based on how they look.” 
Luke met her eyes with a judgy look, laughing softly. 
“Relax, sweetheart. I wasn’t insulting you. You’re as sexy as ever.” 
He trailed a hand up her leg lightly, causing her to tilt her head back with her eyes closed as he reached the hem of her skirt. 
“Luke.” He took his hand back and smirked. 
“Finley.” 
Looking around them, and checking the scoreboard, Finley grabbed his shoulder. 
“Where’s your car?”
Luke raised his eyebrows, but helped her stand up. 
“Seriously? Okay, whatever. This way.” 
He wrapped an arm around her waist and helped her towards the school, waving at the coach and a few of the cheerleaders. 
“We’re going to get more ice for her foot, we’ll be back in a bit.” 
They hardly noticed, waving them off without a second thought. As soon as they were in the school, Luke had Finley up against the lockers, his hand going straight between her legs and stroking her through her shorts. Finley gasped as his lips found hers, desperate and forceful, searching for more. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moaned into his mouth, tilting her head back as he moved his mouth down her neck, biting and sucking gently at the fair skin. Finley groaned and pushed him off her, starting to limp down the corridor. Luke followed her, wrapping a hand around her throat from behind, and slamming her up against the lockers. 
“Don’t fucking move. I’m not done.” 
His hand returned to her core, the gentle movements of his fingers torturous, even through the material of her shorts. He chuckled when she moaned, and held her throat tighter, watching the skin around his rings turn white as the cool metal bit into her skin. 
“This is fun.” 
His voice was low and husky in her ear, the sensation of his breath on her skin causing the hair on the back of her neck to stand up, and sending a shiver down her spine. 
“Car. Now. Please.” 
Luke smirked and let her go, resting one hand on her waist as they walked along the corridor, their pace quick and determined. When they reached the battered red truck, Luke unlocked it and pulled the seat forward, helping Finley climb in, and clambering in after her. Her hands were on him as soon as he sat down, straddling his lap and pushing his jacket off his shoulders as she connected their lips again. Luke smirked into the kiss, sliding his tongue along her lower lip, and deepening the kiss when she moaned. 
“You’re so needy. I love it.” 
Finley rolled her eyes, and sat up. 
“Stop talking. Seriously. It makes you like, way less attractive.” 
Luke rubbed his hands up and down her sides, his eyes growing dark as he admired her. 
“So you think I’m attractive? Good to know.” 
Finley groaned and rolled her hips into his, desperate for some kind of relief, but also wanting to distract him. 
“We’ve been doing this too long for your dumb jokes, Lucas. Hurry up.” 
Luke snickered and put his hand on the back of her neck, dragging her down to his lips again. 
“Yeah yeah, whatever.” 
They continued making out in the back of Luke’s truck, only breaking apart for Luke to pull his shirt off, before starting again, the heat of the kiss gradually increasing. Their teeth were clashing, tongues sliding against one another, nipping at each others lips. It was impossible to tell where Luke ended and Finley begun. Luke’s hands moved to the hem of Finley’s cheer top, sliding it up and over her head, releasing her ponytail at the same time. 
“That bow’s so fucking stupid.” 
Finley rolled her eyes and pressed their bare chests together, moaning at the warm contact. Luke’s hands moved to her hips, throwing his head back against the seats as she ground down on him. 
“Fuck, Fin. Get that off.” 
He tugged on the waistband of her skirt, and she smirked, moving off him to slip it down her legs, leaving her in just her underwear. She straddled him once more and moved her hands to his belt, while he kissed her chest, leaving marks along her collarbones, making sure they’d be concealed by her clothes. Finley was struggling with his fly, when she tilted her head back, distracted by the feeling of Luke’s mouth on her nipple, his tongue flicking over it while his other hand kneaded her breast. He looked up and met her eyes, his pupils dilated and eyes hungry. The smirk that he adorned when he noticed how turned on she was made everything worse, and Finley returned her attention to his fly, pulling it down and groaning with relief. 
“God, I hate jeans.” 
Luke grinned and shuffled down, letting his jeans rest around his ankles before pulling her into his chest, slipping his hand between her legs as he kissed her. 
“Shit you’re wet.” 
He moved his hand from her, and stroked himself, pulling her towards him. Finley hesitated, rubbing his bottom lip with her thumb. 
“Do you have-” 
Luke groaned impatiently and reached for his jacket, sitting on the seat beside him. Finley snatched the wrapper from him, tearing it with her teeth, and rolling her eyes at the look on his face. One of his hands was trailing up and down her bare spine, the other gripping her hip so tightly she was sure it would bruise. It would, she knew that. He was bad for leaving bruises on her- but she loved it. 
He jumped as she wrapped a hand around his cock, sliding the condom over it, before returning her hands to his hair, pulling their lips back together. Luke lifted her up slightly, groaning as she sunk down onto him slowly, letting out her own delicious moans at the feeling of him inside her. She rested her head on his shoulder for a moment, before rolling her hips into him, and letting out a high pitched gasp. Luke’s own groan was desperate, and he silently pleaded with her, his hands gripping at her ass. She gave a slight nod, and he moaned with relief, bucking his hips into her once, and grinning as she threw her head back with the pleasure, her mouth open and hair framing her face. 
She was breathtaking, and Luke brought his lips to her neck, biting at the spots he knew would drive her crazy, while he picked up a steady pace, pushing her ass down onto him as she rocked her hips in time with his thrusts. Finley pulled at his hair, her eyes closed in bliss, cheeks pink and lips red, bruised from his constant attacks on them. Luke’s thrusts were getting faster, and less careful, and Finley could already feel the familiar knot in her stomach forming, heat pooling in her lower abdomen. 
“Fin-” 
Finley leaned forward, resting their foreheads together. 
“Yeah, I’m with you.” 
One of Luke’s hands made it’s way up to her hair, yanking her head back as he sucked on the sensitive skin below her collarbone. He let her go, grinning at the weak look she gave him. In that moment, he knew she’d do anything for him. But he was getting dangerously close to the edge, and Luke wasn’t one to leave a lady hanging, so he brought his hand down in between them, his thumb circling her clit gently. She moaned desperately and fell forward, her breathy moans echoing through Luke’s head as she sucked on his earlobe. 
“Fuck-” 
Luke groaned and bit down on her shoulder as he came, feeling Finley’s walls clench around him as she followed right after him. Chests heaving and skin flushed, they stayed like that for a few minutes, Luke’s hand drawing circles on Finley’s bare skin. She closed her eyes, basking in the afterglow of their quickie, breathing in Luke’s distinctive scent. Her mind drifted to all of the Sunday afternoons she’d spent wrapped in his strong arms, and she heard a question nagging in the back of her mind. Why did she always feel so safe with him?
“We should probably get back.” 
He nodded at her soft voice in his ear, and groaned quietly as she lifted herself off of his lap, watching as she collapsed onto the seat beside him and reached for her clothes. Luke pulled off the condom and dropped it into a bag of trash, before dragging his jeans back up his legs, and fastening his belt. They were good at dressing themselves quickly- They’d started sneaking around when they were 16, and now nearly 2 years and lots of quickies later- it was like second nature to them both. However, Luke thought to himself, it had been a while since Finley had dragged him away from a public setting like that. In fact, it had been a while since they’d met up anywhere other than his house on Sundays. 
They’d stuck to a very strict schedule throughout their senior year, with Finley being terrified of getting caught and only wanting to see him at weekends. He couldn’t help but wonder why she’d dragged him off. It wasn’t like her at all- she hadn’t done it since summer after junior year, when they’d spent the majority of afternoons either in his truck, or in the back of empty movie theaters. She couldn’t get enough of him that summer. But then when they’d gone back to school, it had been back to once a week, no eye contact in the corridors, treating him like he was scum. 
Luke pulled his shirt over his head and watched as she climbed over him, jumping out of the truck, and checking her ponytail one last time in the wing mirror before running across the car park. She stopped a few meters later, and turned back, waving awkwardly. Luke rolled his eyes and waved back, before switching to the front seat. Looked like her ankle was just fine now. 
Finley went for milkshakes with Scott after the game, some of her cheer friends and his lacrosse buddies tagging along for the ride. She’d gone to the bathroom before going back to the field, doing a quick once over herself to check there were no visible reminders of her encounter with Luke. On Sundays he tended to be a bit more careful, making sure only to mark her in places that her uniform would cover, but clearly the backseat of his truck, in the dark, meant the same rules did not apply. Just above the collar of her cheer top, a trail of deep purple marks were clearly scattered across her collarbones, and so she had to run to her locker and pull on one of Scott’s hoodies, before legging it out onto the field for the final 5 minutes. 
Scott scored three goals in the time she watched for, and when he came running up to her afterwards, he’d scooped her up and spun her round, kissing her for the entire field to watch. Finley had been semi-grateful for that. While it made her stomach churn and her mind race with guilty thoughts, it also explained her flushed appearance and slightly messed up hair. But as they were getting milkshakes, Finley found her mind drifting further and further away from the homecoming dress choices that her friends were discussing, and not even Scott’s hand on her hip could keep her focused on what she needed to be thinking about. Which was definitely not the dark-haired guitarist who constantly reminded her she’d never get enough of him.
In fact, said guitarist was sitting in his studio with his bandmates, poring over a chord progression he’d had written for weeks. 
“I just can’t work out what lyrics will go, you know? I don’t have anywhere to pull them from right now.” 
Luke shrugged at his bandmates, who sighed hopelessly. They’d all hoped to have something new for the dance, something that would show the senior class of ‘95 that Sunset Curve were the band to watch. But Luke had nothing. He was content. He had great friends, the band was doing well, and besides the occasional fall out with his parents, nothing was too difficult at home either. Not to mention he was regularly fucking the hottest girl at school. 
“Dude, you need to work out something. Otherwise we’re gonna have to turn to Reggie. And we really can’t do that.” 
Luke groaned and threw his pencil across the room. He never thought he’d be asking for something to go wrong in his life. 
“I’ll have it by Friday, don’t worry. I’ll work something out.” 
Alex sighed with relief and clapped him on the shoulder, before heading over to his drums and taking his seat, flipping his hair off his face. 
“Until then, let’s practice what we do got. Ready?” 
Luke nodded and grabbed his guitar, pushing all thoughts of new songs to the back of his mind. He’d find inspiration at some point, he was sure. 
*
After yet another long winded argument with her parents about college, Finley climbed behind the wheel of her car and groaned. They were adamant she’d be going to Stanford or USC- and while she had the grades, that’s not where Finley wanted to be. She loved LA, and she loved California, there was no doubt about it. Waking up to the sun every morning, and always being within driving distance of the beach was a definite plus- but her heart was set on Boston. 
They’d visited the city last summer, to spend time with family, and Finley had fallen in love. She adored everything about it. It was busy and beautiful, the buildings historic, the people friendly. Not to mention it’s top rated universities. You’d think that having two parents with PHDs would mean being pushed towards Harvard- but not in her case. They were adamant she was to stay on the west coast, within a couple hours drive of them. They were unmoving on the topic, unwilling to listen to Finley’s reasoning, or even her aunts’ arguments, who had both phoned and fought her corner over the past few weeks. 
She pulled up on Luke’s street, parking a few houses down just in case someone they knew should walk past and recognise her car, before walking up to the bungalow, taking a moment to check Mitch’s car was gone. Satisfied, she unlocked the back gate and made her way round to the garden, where unsurprisingly, Luke was sitting, strumming away on his guitar with a worried expression. 
“Hey Patterson. What you up to?” 
Luke looked up at her voice, and the worried expression fell away as he set down his guitar. 
“Nothing much. Trying to work out some new stuff for the dance. How you doing?” 
Finley shrugged, dropping into the seat next to him and chucking her keys on the table in between them. 
“As good as I can be.” 
Luke frowned and examined her face. There were tired circles under her eyes, and she looked drained. 
“Fin, you good?” 
She glanced up at him and noticed his eyes trained on her. 
“Yeah, of course. Just the parents being dicks as always.” 
He leant forward in his chair and rested his elbows on his knees. 
“Want to talk about it?” 
She shrugged again, frowning and fiddling with the fraying hems of her shorts. Luke would understand, she told herself. Emily and Mitch have been discouraging him from the band from day one, he knows how it felt to have your dreams sat on by your parents. The thoughts in her head encouraged her to open up, and try as she might, she couldn’t disagree with them. 
“College stuff. I want to go to Boston, they want me to stay in Cali. It’s just... I dunno. They don’t get it.” 
Luke nodded and leaned back, looking into the leaves of the large oak tree that sat in his back garden, casting shade over most of the little house. Finley felt herself relax, and started to spill her guts, sick of being alone with her thinking. 
“I love Boston. I love the city, the people, the schools. It’s Harvard, god dammit, how can I turn that down? And my little cousins, I never get to see them, but I want to watch them grow up so badly. It’s just all so unfair. They want me to do what they want me to do, not what I want me to do.” 
She groaned in frustration and let her hair out of its ponytail, toying with the scrunchie in her hands. 
“Parents are like that. I think a lot of the time they try and live vicariously through their kids, you know?” Finley raised her eyebrows at Luke, a light smirk appearing. 
“Woah, that’s a big word Patterson. Careful, people might think you’re smart.” 
He rolled his eyes at her, and chuckled slightly, running a hand through his hair. Finley noticed the way the muscles in his arms moved when he did so, and bit her lip slightly. 
“You know what I mean. Your parents always regretted leaving the move to LA so late. They wanted to grow up here and go to school here, but they didn’t get the chance to, so they’re trying to get you to do it. It makes sense. It sucks, but it makes sense.” 
Finley nodded slightly, continuing to pick at her shorts. She sometimes forgot that Luke had been her best friend before all this. They’d become best friends when she moved to Los Angeles, on her first day at Los Feliz middle school. Both of them had been put into the performing arts programme immediately, her for dancing, and him for singing. He’d picked up a guitar on their first day, and had fallen in love with it instantly. She still remembered the look of awe on his face as he strummed the strings awkwardly. Finley smiled at the memory and stretched her arms above her head, shaking all negative thoughts from her mind. 
“So, what’s worst with you then?” Luke groaned and glared at his guitar. 
“The boys want a new song for Friday. Something that really makes Sunset Curve stick in everyone’s minds. But I got nothing to write about. No inspiration. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.” 
He flopped against the back of his seat as he finished speaking, holding a hand over his eyes dramatically. Finley smirked and stood up, beginning to stroll towards the house, slipping her shoes off as she reached the back door. Luke watched her go through his fingers, raising his eyebrows at her as she stopped and looked back at him. 
“Well do you want me to give you something to write about or not? Get over here.”
Luke grinned and jumped up, chasing after her as she ran into the corridor and up the stairs, only making it to the landing before he caught her round the waist and she started shrieking. He picked her up and spun her round, pushing her up against the wall gently. Both were panting through their smiles, a pretty blush dusted over Finley’s cheeks. She grinned down at Luke, reaching a hand up to run it through his hair, and cupping his cheek gently. He leaned into her touch, his eyes fluttering closed as he felt his heart rate slow slightly. They lived for their Sundays together, when they could forget about everything and everyone, and just be exactly who they wanted to be. It was going to be weird when she left for college, he thought.
I’m going to lose him forever, she remembered. 
Her thumb stilled against his cheek, and Luke opened his eyes, finding her bright blue irises darkened with lust, and heavy with want. He didn’t get a chance to notice the traces of fear in them before she crashed their lips together. Her hands slipped around his neck to pull at his hair, and he let his hands wander underneath her, pulling her off the wall and stumbling towards his bedroom. He kicked the door open, pulling away from her for a moment as he avoided his dresser, dropping her on the bed. 
“Get your clothes off. Now.” 
Finley grinned and obliged, tossing her shorts and t-shirt in a heap next to his bed. Luke unbuckled his belt, and pulled his shirt over his head, dropping it on top of her clothes, before climbing over the top of her, and rejoining their lips. Hands automatically moving to his hair, Finley tugged softly as she parted her lips and let him explore her mouth with his tongue. He rolled his hips into her gently, smirking against her mouth as she whined and bucked towards him, desperate for more contact. 
“Easy tiger, we’ve got all day, remember?” 
Finley bit his bottom lip in response, dragging him back down to her and hooking her legs around his waist, pushing his jeans down with her feet. She raked her nails along his back, feeling a shiver run down her spine as he groaned in her ear, and gasped when he pressed his hips into her, feeling his cock pressed against her stomach through his boxers. 
“Stop teasing.” 
He snorted and rocked his hips into her again, watching her face carefully as her eyes rolled back in her head. 
“But it’s so fun.” 
His voice came out as a whisper, laced with teasing and a hint of feigned innocence. Finley let out an exasperated sigh, and lifted her head to meet his lips, kissing him with a new fire. Luke gave in, and drifted a hand down in between them, stroking her through the material of her underwear. He circled her clit through the soft cotton with his thumb, smirking at the pained gasp she let out at the sudden contact. 
“Luke.” 
He rolled his eyes, but decided to be nice, pushing the material to one side and slipping a finger inside, shortly joined by a second one. The moans that tumbled from her lips as he moved his fingers inside her were delicious, and went straight to his cock. He curled them against her expertly, drawing out desperate sighs and moans as he hit all of the spots he’d memorised so long ago. 
Finley writhed on the bed beneath him, her bottom lip caught between her teeth. Luke breathed heavily through his nose, searching desperately for some restraint as he watched her arch into him continuously, the most incredible noises leaving her lips. 
“Luke, I need you. Please.” He groaned loudly and nodded, gripping her hip with strong fingers. He smirked at the deep red marks left behind, knowing it would take a few days for the evidence of him to leave her body. 
Luke smacked her thigh gently, pulling his boxers down his thighs. She looked up at him expectantly, desperation radiating off her face. 
“Turn round.” Finley’s eyes lit up as she realised what he meant, and she shuffled around on his bed until she was on her knees, the warmth of his skin heating the back of her thighs. It disappeared for a moment, and she frowned, but was soon panting ecstatically as his tongue drew pictures over her slit. She felt his thumb rubbing at her clit and moaned, burying her face in his pillows. Almost as soon as her skin hit the soft cotton, her head was yanked up by her hair, sparks flying down her spine and straight to her clit.
“Uh uh. Let me hear you. Let me hear how good I make you feel.” Finley whimpered and arched her back as far as she could- which being a dancer, was fairly impressive. Luke watched with appreciative eyes, his hands massaging her ass. He smacked it gently, smirking at the moan she let out as their skin connected. 
“You ready?” Finley groaned and shook her hips slightly, Luke chuckling as her ass jiggled impatiently. 
“Take that as a yes.” Luke put a hand on his cock, stroking it a few times as he stared at Finley spread out in front of him. He knew he was the only one to have seen her like this; panting and moaning for him desperately, her pussy dripping with excitement. Her usually perfect blonde hair was splayed across his bed, messy and tousled from his relentless grabbing. He guided the head of his cock to her entrance, grimacing as she let out a high-pitched moan at the feeling of him entering her. She couldn’t sing, he knew that- but by god, the noises that came out of her were beautiful. 
Bottoming out, Luke took a deep breath as he focused on Finley’s back. Toned and perfect, he couldn’t help but run a hand down her spine lightly, smiling at her appreciative moan. It took only a moment before she was pushing back against him, begging him to move. He obliged, slamming into her harshly as their moans filled the room around them. 
“Fuck baby. You feel good today.” Finley moaned in response, meeting him thrust for thrust. Her arms were stretched out in front of her, gripping his bedsheets tightly. She looked completely wanton, her mouth open and gasping, fists clenching at the sheets with every move Luke made. 
“Harder, Luke, please.” Luke grinned and put both of his hands on her hips, steadying her as he thrust into her at a bruising pace, his own chest tightening as he watched his cock disappear inside her over and over again.
“Shit Luke, just like that. Fucking hell, I’m so close. Shit, shit, shit.” “Who knew you had such a dirty mouth on you?” Finley looked back at him with dangerous eyes, trying hard to keep her cool as Luke continued his pace. 
“You have no idea how dirty my mouth is.” He smirked and grabbed a handful of her hair, yanking it harshly. She whimpered, but the way her mouth fell open told her he loved it.
“I do. But why don’t you give me a reminder?” Luke let go of her hair and let her fall back into the pillows, slamming into her a few more times before pulling out and flipping her over. She crawled up the bed as quickly as she could, lying on her front and taking Luke’s cock in her mouth. Her tongue circled his tip expertly and he grabbed her hair, pushing her head as much as he dared. She took it like a champ, deep throating him through moans as her hips ground against the bed. Luke started panting himself, feeling his balls tighten as the ridiculously sexy girl continued to suck him off, her moans getting more intense as he got closer to coming. 
“Just like that Fin. God you’re so good. Keep going. Love that pretty little mouth of yours.”
Finley moaned around his cock, and Luke groaned, resisting the urge to ram his cock right down her throat and come right there and then. Alas, his efforts were useless, and he fisted her hair desperately as he felt himself explode.
“I’m cumming. Jesus fuck, Fin. Don’t stop.”
He groaned loudly as his load flooded her mouth, her instant swallowing not going amiss. She continued to suck him gently for a few moments, before letting him slip out of her mouth, grinning up at him. He panted and dropped onto his heels, staring at her in wonder. 
“Okay, yeah, reminder needed.” Finley tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear, smiling shyly as she looked up at him. Luke’s hand cupped her face, his thumb swiping over her lips gently. His eyes were dark and wild, cheeks a shade of red that only Finley could cause. 
With only a few hours until Luke’s parents would be home, Finley shuffled back up the bed, spreading her legs with a devilish smile. Her hands dipped in between them, soft moans leaving her lips as she played with herself, on full display for Luke’s eyes. He groaned and fell on top of her, connecting their lips in a hurried kiss, his hands wandering over every inch of skin he could reach. 
He wasn’t about to let their Sunday go to waste.
--
“Have you picked it up from the tailors yet?”
Finley nodded at Sasha, grinning like an idiot. They’d been discussing the upcoming homecoming dance for the past 3 periods, ignoring everything that their teachers said. It was expected, the heads of the dance committee weren’t exactly going to be focused on school the week of their prized project.
“Have you tried it on?” Finley nodded again, pulling her phone out of her pocket and showing Sasha a photo. Sasha clapped her hands over her mouth and squealed, grimacing an apologetic smile at their teacher when he glared at her. “Scott is going to die. I just know it. That’ll be the dress, he’s going to cave. 100%.”
Finley smiled and shrugged, her eyes flicking over to where Luke was sat in the corner. As always, his eyes were trained on whatever was going on outside, his pen drumming absentmindedly on his desk. Finley wondered for the hundredth time that day whether or not he would mind her ending their Sunday arrangements. The purity ring on her ring finger had been Scott’s latest attempt at taming her, and it had been the first one that had sunk in. Scott really did love her, and saw a future with her. Despite his insistence that they couldn’t have sex until they were married, he’d given her this whole speech about commitment, and how he wanted them to be committed to each other emotionally before they were physical. In all honesty, Finley had been cringing internally the entire time, but the hopeful look on his face had been enough for her to fake this huge adorable reaction, almost crying as he slipped the ring on her finger.
The crying hadn’t been hard- she’d realised in the same moment that she really needed to grow up- which entailed not sleeping with her childhood best friend every chance she got. Scott was worth the wait, she was sure. 
She waved goodbye to Sasha as they parted to go to their next classes, squealing quietly when Luke appeared against her locker, signature cocky smirk in place. She scowled at him and shooed him over slightly, swapping her books out for whatever was at the front. He watched with an amused expression, noting the multiple subjects that she definitely didn’t have that day going into her backpack. 
“Something up princess?” She scowled even harder, slamming her locker shut and stalking away from him. He fell into step with her though, whistling through his teeth in the most aggravating manner. 
“New addition?” Finley stopped in her tracks as she registered what Luke was talking about. The ring on her finger glinted against the lights, the fair sized diamond being hard to miss. She sniffed and nodded nonchalantly, flipping her ponytail over her shoulder.
“My boyfriend likes to spoil me.” Luke sighed and squeezed Finley’s arm, letting his finger trail down the bare skin of her bicep for a brief moment. The shiver that ran through her hadn’t gone amiss, and he smirked, taking her hand in his to examine the new jewellery.
“You engaged now? Going to be Mrs Lacrosse buff?” Finley rolled her eyes at him and snatched her hand away, ignoring the cold tone in his voice.
“It’s a purity ring.” Luke coughed loudly, spluttering as he tried to control his laughter. Doubled over in the hallway, Finley looked around desperately, horrified by the few people in the corridor who might overhear their conversation. She shoved him harshly into an empty classroom, slamming the door shut behind them.
Luke continued to laugh, running a hand through his hair as his eyes sparked dangerously. 
“So what, he really believes his princess is all his?” Finley shrugged, dropping her hand to her side, out of sight. Luke stepped closer, taking in a deep breath of her perfume and groaning lightly.
“He really doesn’t know anything about you.” Finley frowned and stood up taller, trying to appear confident.
“He knows me better than anyone. He knows everything about me.” Luke nodded, eyes wide in mock sincerity.
“So he knows exactly what to do to you? Knows how to get under your skin?” He stepped closer, forcing her to take a few steps backwards until her back connected with the wall.
“He knows that if I kiss you here-” He let his lips brush over her neck, grinning as she whimpered. “That your knees will start to give?”
Finley locked her knees and did her best to hold her face in place. Luke put an arm against the wall, looking down at her with eyes she’d learned to fear. His torture eyes. Eyes that she’d seen looking up at her from between her legs as he’d forced her to the edge, over and over again, until she was begging for him to touch her, anywhere, everywhere. “He knows that if I touch you here-” His hand slipped behind her, squeezing a good handful of her ass in her shorts, a quiet moan betraying her. “That you’ll instantly look for something else?” He looked down pointedly, smirking at her hips, which had automatically moved forward, searching for him.  “He knows what I do to his perfect little princess, his girl, pure and sweet, every single weekend? He knows how you beg to ride me, how you scream for my cock, how you’re ruined for anyone else?” Finley was practically drooling now, looking up at him with desperate eyes. His words were going straight to her core, a painful heat spreading throughout her abdomen.
“He knows how you look on your knees, mouth open, tongue out, begging for everything I’ve got like the beautiful little whore you are?”
His voice was menacing, quiet. Mean. Finley groaned and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her for a furious kiss. His arms stayed in place, one against the wall above her head, and the other using her ass to pull her closer, grinding their hips together. His tongue slipped into her mouth, rough and fast and furious, his kiss practically searing her skin. He broke away all of a sudden, looking at her with significantly kinder eyes.
“He has no idea, that when you walk into that gym on Friday night, it’ll be me you want on your arm. That it’ll be me taking off your dress after the dance, and it’ll be me worshipping your body for hours after he’s safely in bed asleep. He hasn’t got a clue.”
Finley looked up at him silently, thoughts swirling. 
“Luke.” He smirked, eyes trailing over her body. She lifted his chin so that his eyes were on her again, but held him still as he leaned in to kiss her again.
“Luke, no. I can’t. Not anymore.” His face contorted, confusion running rife through his eyes for barely a moment. He knew this would happen eventually- but he thought it would be mid-sex, a goodbye they could finish properly.
“What?” She sighed and stepped out of his hold, wrapping her arms around herself like a safety blanket. 
“We can’t do this anymore. It’s not fair on Scotty.” He scoffed and stood up straight, adjusting his jeans slightly. 
“Sure. Whatever. Have a good night with Scotty. Maybe if your lucky, he’ll graze your ass by accident.” He pulled a face as he strolled out of the door, leaving Finley to watch him with a sad face, her bottom lip falling prey to her teeth. It hadn’t gone better than expected- but it also hadn’t gone worse? It was just weird. But weird was okay. They were in entirely different social circles. No-one would ever notice weirdness between them. 
---
“Are you sure about this?” Alex’s eyes scoured over the lyrics one more time, shooting Luke a concerned look.
Luke nodded, ruffling his hair one more time in the mirror. 
They were in the bathroom by the gym, waiting for more people to arrive before they went on. Luke had been up all night, scribbling furiously in his songbook. Sleep evaded him, memories of Finley fluttering through his mind. Her laugh, the way she pulled his hair when he had his tongue in just the right place, the smell of her perfume, the way her eyes looked when she had his cock halfway down her throat. Her smile, the way her hair felt between his fingers, the rage that simmered in his chest when he saw her simpering at the dumb brute she called a boyfriend. 
Reggie frowned as he read over the lyrics one more time. 
“Who’s Fiona?” Luke shrugged and pushed off the sink, turning away from the mirror.
“Dunno.”
Alex rolled his eyes and nodded, tucking the paper in his back pocket. Bobby was chuckling away to himself in the corner, more excited to pick up one of the heartbroken lonely girls after the dance than for the actual performance. 
“We should go set up. We’re on in less than an hour.”
Luke nodded, thrusting his hands deep in his pockets as they left the bathroom.  The hallways were littered with brightly coloured balloons, blue and silver streamers hanging from the ceiling tiles.
The boys shared a look as they pushed on the double doors to the gym, Luke’s chest clenching as he took in the scenery. Finley had outdone herself this time, he realised. Fairy lights were strung from wall to wall, giving the room a homey glow that he was sure looked romantic to some people. There were tea lights in jars scattered around the edge of the room and on the various tall tables, occupied by countless girls in brightly coloured dresses and their dates. 
Luke’s eyes scanned the crowd without his permission, looking for the flash of red he knew held the body he couldn’t stop thinking about. He scoffed as he realised she wasn’t here yet. Typically, she wanted to make an entrance. 
“Good, boys you’re here! If you guys are ready to set up that would be great, we want to get going as soon as possible.” Sasha smiled at them brightly, eyes sliding to Bobby as she simpered. Luke nodded curtly and headed for the stage, rolling his eyes as he heard Alex complimenting her dress. Personally, he found it heinous. Pale pink and puffy, she looked like something you’d find in a grandmother’s house. 
Enthralled in making the stage look perfect for their set, Luke paid no attention to the clamours and cheering that suddenly broke out in the gym, only turning when Alex kicked his shin. The drummer nodded towards the doors of the gym, and Luke felt his stomach cave in as red filled his mind. 
Literally.
His mind flooded with images of that dress lying on his bedroom floor, or even better, bunched around her hips as he thrust into her. Finley stood in the doorway blushing, her arms wrapped around Scott’s big one. Luke stared and stared and stared, his eyes trailing over the red satin, appreciating every inch of her from afar. Her skin was glowing, hair falling in soft curls around her face, eyes dark with makeup. She looked like something straight out of the dreams he’d been ignoring since he was 15. 
Their eyes met across the dance floor, Finley flashing him a small smile and breaking free from Scott to wave. He rolled his eyes and waved back, though he couldn’t help the slow up and down he gave her. He knew she’d see it, and he wanted her thinking of him the whole night. 
He stood watching as she twirled in Scott’s arms, strumming his guitar a little too harshly as he imagined how her dress would feel under his calloused fingertips, how the heat of her skin would feel against his as they danced, how her perfume would get him drunk on her. He couldn’t deny the jealousy that flooded him as she kissed Scott softly during a slow song, turning his back to jam with Alex for a few bars. 
Alex eyed his best friend carefully, sensing that something wasn’t right. He’d called Luke out on a crush he was harbouring before, but he’d never thought it was this intense. The entire dance, Luke had a face like thunder, and he played like he was never going to play again. It didn’t escape any of the boys how their frontman was constantly drawn to the same side of the stage, his eyes only leaving his guitar for moments at a time. 
“Alright folks, we thought we’d take this opportunity so graciously given to us by your homecoming queen-” The room broke out in cheers and applause as Finley flushed pink and dipped her head, suddenly the picture of innocence and modesty. Luke felt his words like venom, and grimaced as he gripped the mic harder than necessary.
“-To show you some new stuff we’ve been working on.”
More cheers broke out, but Luke relaxed knowing they were for the band, rather than Finley, who was frowning slightly at the front of the crowd. Luke chuckled to himself, knowing she was in for a shock. 
“You alright babe?” Finley looked up at Scott with sweet eyes, squeezing his arm gently. She’d been staring at Luke all night, catching herself admiring his arms a few too many times. He was always beautiful when he played, sweat soaking his curls and running down his forehead, fingers moving so expertly on the strings. She spent an entire song biting her lip at the sound of his hoarse voice, clamping her thighs together at her body’s automatic response to his growly singing. 
As soon as Luke had announced a new song, she’d tensed considerably. He’d complained about having nothing to write about, and she could only think of one thing since then that he would write about. 
The opening chords started, and Finley smiled at the rocky feel. At least it wasn’t some slow ballad. 
Luke smirked down at his guitar as he played, meeting Alex’s eyes with a knowing look. Alex’s jaw went slack for a moment as he realised who was standing right in front of Luke, groaning internally as he thought about the trouble his best friend was about to get himself into.
Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me Do it in my van every Sunday, She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go Still she's on her knees and Scotty doesn't know
Finley’s mouth dropped open as she stared up at the stage, equally infuriated and turned on at Luke’s blatant admittance. He was prancing around the stage, looking somewhat cheerful for the first time that night. 
He knelt at the edge of the stage as he started the chorus, grinning at the girls reaching up and screaming at him. 
Scott watched in blind ignorance, tapping his foot along with the drums. 
“It’s pretty good babe, don’t you think?” Finley forced a smile, wiping her clammy hands on her dress. 
“Yeah, bit rocky for my taste but it’s so good!”
Scott wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her in to his side, kissing her hair. 
I can't believe he's so trusting While I'm right behind you thrusting Fiona's got him on the phone And she's trying not to moan It's a three-way call and he knows nothing, nothing
Finley clapped a hand over her mouth and tried not to let her nervous laugh escape, eyes never leaving Luke as he danced around the stage, bouncing around with the exhausting amount of energy he always seemed to have.
Luke caught Finley’s eye for the chorus once again, smirking at her expression. He could tell by the glint in her eye that she was pissed, but the knowledge he was getting to her went straight to his cock, and he nodded at her, before turning away and playing to Alex for a bit. He turned back to the crowd for the bridge, meeting Finley’s eyes as he sang. 
The parkin' lot, why not? It's so cool when you're on top His front lawn in the snow Life is so hard 'cause Scotty doesn't know                                               Scotty doesn't know
His eyes left hers momentarily as he smirked, turning to Scott instead. It was painfully obvious, and he winked at the lacrosse player before heading back to the mic, letting his eyes move between the two of them with an evil smile. 
I did her on his birthday
Scott went still beside Finley, his hold on her waist loosening as he took a step sideways, face crumpled into a combination of confusion and laughter. 
Finley looked up at him with a slightly fearful expression, but played it off, stroking his arm gently. 
“I’m going to the ladies room, babe. I’ll be back.”
Scott nodded slowly, eyes trailing back to Luke’s as Finley disappeared from his side.
Luke watched Finley leave, letting the final chords of the song ring out for a few moments as the school went nuts. He met Alex’s eyes, which were filled with judgement, but also a hint of amusement. 
“We’re gonna take a quick break folks! Enjoy the dance!”
Luke slung his guitar off of one shoulder, barely checking it was stable before running off stage and out the back door. He raced to the girls bathroom, rolling his eyes at the screams of indignation that ensued as he strolled in. 
“You coming out to scream at me or what?”
Finley stormed out of a stall, eyes like thunder, and stopped right in front of him. He smirked, but quickly wished he hadn’t as her hand connected with his cheek, the slight sting spreading across his face. 
“How dare you.”
Luke shrugged, eyes dropping to Finley’s lips as she trembled with rage. 
“Let’s not act like I’m the one in the wrong here. I warned you you’d be coming home with me tonight.” Luke’s voice held a dangerous tone that Finley knew all too well, and she had to stop herself from clamping her thighs together, not in any hurry to give him any more reason to rile her up. 
“I ended us. I told you I’m with Scotty.” Luke chuckled and took a step forward, smirking as Finley took a step back. He stalked her slowly, smile widening as her back hit the wall. 
“Tell me honestly, that you’re not turned on right now.” Finley scoffed and looked away, her hands splayed against the cool tile of the wall. She couldn’t begin to think about how she was feeling. 
Luke reached a hand up and grabbed her jaw, forcing her to turn back to him. His eyes were dark and round, and she felt herself thawing under his gaze. His tongue darted out and wet his lips, smirking as he caught her eyes following his movements. 
“Answer me, sweetheart.”
Finley scowled and rolled her eyes, her breath catching as Luke’s eyes hardened. 
“Attitude.” His voice was low and sharp, a commanding tone that almost had a whimper escaping Finley’s mouth. She bit the inside of her lip, eyes darting to the door. If she made a run for it, she might be able to convince Scotty she was just chatting to her friends.
“Luke, I’m with Scotty.”
Her voice was shaky, and held no conviction whatsoever. Luke smirked and trailed a hand down her side, squeezing her hip tightly as she whined quietly. 
“Of course. So if I reach under your dress right now, you’re telling me I won’t find you soaked for me?”
Finley shuddered, nodding. 
Luke nodded back, his hand slipping further down her body until it reached the slit in her dress, exposing her thigh. He trailed his fingertips along the smooth skin, chuckling when she flinched at his touch. 
“Tell me to stop and I will.”
His voice was kinder, but it held weakness. He didn’t want to stop. He didn’t want her to stop him. 
His hand trailed up her thigh, chest heaving as he listened to her breathing quicken. Her arm snapped up, grabbing his wrist, just as he reached the apex of her thighs. Luke sighed in defeat, ready to pull away, but groaned in surprise as she dragged his hand to her slit, letting out a moan as his fingers found her, drenched and ready for him. 
“No underwear? Planning on giving Scotty a show tonight were we?”
Luke’s voice was hoarse as he thrust two fingers into her, knees buckling as she clenched around him. Finley’s arm wrapped around his neck, pulling him down to her and kissing him feverishly. 
“No. Only you. Always only you.”
Luke sighed into her mouth, letting one hand snake behind her and pull her close while the other tortured her clit. 
“Always so ready for me.”
She whimpered into his mouth as he sped up his fingers, thrusting into her while his thumb pressed harshly on her clit, drawing out pornographic moans from her as her hips bucked against him, searching for more. 
“Tell me what you want.”
Finley whined in his arms as he pulled away, his fingers dripping with her slick. He raised them to his mouth, eyes never leaving hers as he sucked them clean. She groaned as he brought his hand to her mouth, dragging down her bottom lip, swollen from her biting. 
“Tell me what you want from me, pretty girl.” His eyes searched hers desperately, pleading with her desperately to give him the answer he wanted. 
“Ruin me.”
Luke groaned and dropped his hands to her waist, dragging her against him and claiming her lips. He kissed her with everything he had, his tongue forcing its way inside her mouth as he backed her against the sinks, hand dropping to his belt as her hips hit the porcelain. She moved to turn around, but he grabbed her wrist, shaking his head at her. 
“Nuh uh. Want to see your face when you cum on my cock.” Finley’s knees buckled, letting him kiss her again as he freed his cock, lifting her with one arm so that she was sat on the sink. He stroked himself a few times, leaning his forehead against hers as he pushed into her. His head fell onto her shoulder as he bottomed out, a low groan vibrating across her skin. Finley whimpered and bucked her hips, begging him to move. Luke stayed still, drunk on the smell of her perfume and the feeling of her skin on his. 
“You going to fuck me? Or am I sitting here for nothing?” Luke’s head snapped up, grinning at her breathless tone and flushed face. He grabbed her hips, pulling her to the edge and thrusting deeper inside her.
“Sorry princess, didn’t mean to leave you hanging.”
He grabbed her jaw with one hand, keeping her steady with the other, and started fucking into her at a furious pace, their kiss a mess of teeth and lips and tongue, each of their moans indistinguishable from the other’s. Finley’s hands found their way under his t-shirt, clawing at his back desperately as he hit every spot she needed. He broke their kiss, lips falling to her chest and freeing her tits. His tongue circled her nipple, biting down softly and groaning at the high-pitched moan that echoed around him in response. The lewd sounds of her dripping cunt taking him over and over again filled the bathroom, and he dropped his hand to her clit as he felt himself hurtling towards his finish. 
“You ready sweetheart?” Finley moaned in response, tugging on his hair and trying to get impossibly closer. Luke pressed down hard on her clit, kissing her again as he felt her clench around him, her orgasm rushing through her body like lightning. She whimpered as he kept thrusting, hands clawing at his neck. Luke groaned into her mouth, biting down on her lip as he felt himself spill inside her. 
They stayed there for a few moments, Luke shuddering against her as she panted desperately. 
“Sh, sh, I got you. Right here baby. Always so good for me.”
Luke’s lips found her temple, pressing a kiss into her skin as she trembled in his arms. 
Finley’s arms tightened around his neck as he pulled out, and he didn’t let her hold break as he did up his belt, arms coming back to hold her as soon as he was done. She was still shaking, and he could feel her heartbeat through their clothes. 
“I got you. You’re fine baby. That’s my girl.”
Finley dropped her head against his chest, fighting to control her breathing. She was panicking, but Scott hadn’t even crossed her mind. The sweet words leaving his mouth, the reassurance; they confirmed what she was already terrified of.
“Your girl.”
Luke nodded against her, his head resting on her shoulder.
“Only want to be your girl.” Luke smiled and kissed her neck softly. 
“Always have been, sweetheart. That was never going to change.”
Finley buried her head in his shirt, the aftershocks of her orgasm finally drifting away. She sat back slightly, looking at him with a fear stricken face. He stroked her cheek gently, smiling at her with such sincerity she could’ve cried. 
“Cmon, let’s get you cleaned up.”
Finley giggled quietly and nodded, letting him help her off the sinks. He grabbed toilet paper from one of the stalls, and dropped to his knees to wipe gently at her inner thighs, pressing kisses into them as she played with his hair. 
The softness was unusual for them, but it felt as natural as breathing. 
He kissed her one last time, grabbing her hand as they left the bathroom. He knew they’d deal with it at some point, but he hadn’t expected to bump into Scott round the corner. He dropped Finley’s hand, shooting her a look as he stepped in front of her.
“Patterson, want to tell me what you were doing singing a song like that about my girl?”
Scott was red in the face, surrounded by his lacrosse buddies. Luke laughed and shrugged, twirling one of his rings around his finger. 
“Your girl? You sure about that?” Scott scoffed and stepped towards him, muscles bulging through his button-up shirt. 
“Don’t play with me. The whole school knows she’s mine.”
Luke grinned, dark and dangerous as he raised his eyebrows at the lacrosse captain. 
“Oh yeah? Who’s cum is dripping out of her pretty little cunt right now then? That yours?”
Scott’s face went beet red, and Finley stifled a laugh from behind Luke, her breath catching as she caught Scott’s gaze. His eyes trailed over her, taking in her dishevelled appearance, and the marks that littered her throat. 
“Oh shit, I forgot. You don’t even know what her cunt looks like, do you? Well I mean, I could tell you, but shit, it tastes so much better than it looks. Seriously dude, you’ve been missing out. Don’t know what man in his right mind wouldn-” He was cut off by Scott’s fist slamming into his jaw, throwing him backwards a few feet. Finley caught him, looking up at him with panicked eyes. Luke shook his head, giving her a weak smile with watery eyes. 
Scott took one step towards them, but Luke turned back to him before he could get close to Finley, moving in front of her again. 
“Nah, I don’t think so.”
Scott barked a laugh and sniffed, looking at Finley over Luke’s shoulder.
“Should’ve guessed. Always had you pegged for a whore.”
Luke rubbed his jaw one last time, and stepped forward.
“Big mistake buddy.”
Finley barely got a breath in before Luke swung, blood spurting from Scott’s nose seconds later. Luke shook out his fist, wincing at the pain in his knuckles, but grinned at Scott kneeling down, clutching his nose desperately. 
“Do yourself a favour and keep my girl’s name out your mouth. God knows she’s kept yours out of hers. At least, when my cock’s inside her that is. Have a nice night.” Finley smothered a laugh with her hand, looking up at Luke in awe as he slung an arm around her shoulders, kissing her hair softly as he guided her around the lacrosse team, all fussing around Scott. 
“Cmon baby. We got an afterparty to get to.” He winked at her as they pushed out the doors into the parking lot, strolling towards Luke’s truck. Alex would have his head for leaving before they could pack up the kit, but Luke’s mind was very much focused on other things. For example, getting his head between his girl’s thighs as soon as humanly possible.

Finishing your set, you waited for the music to fade. Gazing out into the area where the audience would be, your eyes landed upon your father. His face was as stone as ever. Sighing, you knew he wasn’t impressed with how you had just sung.
“Again.” He spat, not bothering to give his critique nor any praise.
Groaning silently, you turned toward the rest of the band nodding slightly.
---
After you had finished practicing, you made your way backstage.
“Guys.” A voice spoke.
Not bothering to gaze at the voice you continued about your actions. 
“You’re Y/N Covington aren’t you?” 
Turning to face him, you were met with three guys. One had blonde hair, while the other two shared dark hair.
“And you are?” You questioned sassily. 
“We...We’re-”
“I’m Alex.” The blonde spoke giving a slight wave.
“Reggie.” 
“Luke.”
The blonde spoke motioning towards the other two guys. 
“Nice to meet you.” You spoke holding your hand out expectantly.
Sharing a weary glance, Alex reached to shake your hand.
Being dead for so many years, you were often overwhelmed with the desire for skin on skin contact. Touch was the one thing you had missed more than life itself.
As he hesitantly reached to touch your hand, you were expecting his hand to slip right through yours. Once his hand touched yours, a shared gasp fell from your lips. Gazing at Alex, his expression mirrored yours.
“H-How?” He asked in disbelief as he grasped your hand. “How are we doing this?”
“I-I don’t know.” You spoke squeezing his hand slightly.
“Guys-” 
Before you knew it, Reggie had wrapped his arms around you pulling you in for a tight hug.
“Oh.” He whispered. “I’ve missed this.” He muttered into your hair, as he rested his head against your hair. You wrapped your arms around his waist, pulling him tighter against you.
Humming in response, you turned toward Luke waiting for him to pull you in for a hug. Hesitantly he did so, pulling you snug against him. Warmth washed over you as hugged you. Resting your head against his chest, you listened to the phantom rhythm of his heart. Luke rubbed up and down your back soothing you.
---
“Where have you been?” Caleb questioned as you stepped into the house.
“I’ve...I’ve been with some friends.” You muttered dropping your gaze to the ground.
“We don’t have any friends.” He hissed. “It’s just you and me.”
“I-”
“Go to your room.” He spat.
Nodding your head, you rushed toward the stairs, attempting to avoid the inevitable conversation.
“Oh, Y/N?” Caleb’s voice questioned. “Stay away from those Julie and the Phantom Boys.”
---
“Hey.” You spoke greeting the boys as you walked into the garage. 
“H-Hey.” 
“Oh, Hey, Y/N!”
“What’re you guys doing?” You questioned, plopping down on the couch, gazing at the guys standing before you.
“We were just about to practice.” Reggie sent you a smile.
Returning his smile, you dropped your gaze down to the ground before you.
“Want to stay and listen?” 
You hummed in response.
Once they finished, you were met with a few pairs of expectant eyes. “What’d you think?” Luke’s hopeful voice questioned.
“I...I..” Your voice trailed off. “You sound amazing!” You exclaimed, clasping your hands together.
Glancing at the clock, you let out a sigh. “I have to get going.” 
“Do you have to go?” Alex questioned while frowning.
You frowned as you hummed.
“Can I walk you home?” Luke questioned taking his guitar off.
“Sure.” You grinned, gazing at him.
---
“So...Caleb’s your dad, huh?” 
Letting out a frustrated huff, you nodded your head. “Sadly.”
Nudging his shoulder with yours, you let out a soft laugh, as he chuckled.
“He wants us to join his group,” Luke spoke in a somber tone.
“Oh.” You felt your heart drop. 
“Do you think we should?” Luke questioned halting his movements in front of your house. His gaze turning expectantly.
Furrowing your eyebrows together, you were torn between telling him the truth about the club and endorsing the club. After all, Caleb is your father.
Frowning, you gazed at him. Before you knew it, you were leaning forward. Your nose brushed against his, as his hands found your waist taking a few steps forward pressing himself against you. Your breath mingling together at your close proximity.
Closing your eyes you allowed yourself to nuzzled his nose with your own gently. Lifting your hands, you laced them in his chocolate locks. Luke placed his lips on yours hesitantly. His lips were soft as silk. Pulling you impossibly closer, your chests were pressed together as his hands moved down resting comfortably on your hips. 
Biting your bottom lip, he pulled back slightly before letting your lip snap back in place. Tracing the seam of your lip, he silently asked for entrance. Opening your mouth you allowed him to explore your mouth with his tongue, lapping against your tongue.
Pulling away before things could get too heated, you both panted as Luke let out a whine chasing you once you pulled away.
“Y/N!” Your father’s voice echoed through your ears. “What do you think you’re doing with...with him!”

"I think you and Julie should get together,” Flynn spoke as she sat across from you at the lunch table.
You shrugged in response as continued eating. 
“You both are in bands!” She spoke clapping her hands together filled with excitement. “There’s so many things you guys have in common-”
Ring.
“Saved by the bell.” You muttered under your breath. Grasping your backpack, you tossed it over your shoulder.
Rushing out of the lunchroom, you made a b-line for your locker.
“As I was saying,” Flynn spoke leaning on the lockers besides yours. “You both are competing in battle of the bands..” 
Letting out a sigh, you squeezed your eyes shut.
“Okay, okay.” You gave out a sigh of defeat. “I’ll meet with her if that means you’ll lighten up.”
“Yay!” Flynn exclaimed throwing her arms around your shoulders, pulling you in for a bone-crushing hug.
---
"I’m so glad you could make it,” Julie spoke giving you a hesitant hug.
Hugging her back, you nodded. 
Leading you to the couch, you gazed at the guys currently sitting. 
“W-Who are they?” You questioned raising a confused eyebrow.
“You can see us?” The blonde-haired guy questioned, sitting up straighter.
“What...What do you mean?” You furrowed your eyebrows together in confusion as you stood before them. Lifting your gaze, you looked at Julie for an explanation. Her expression mirrored yours.
“It’s...It’s a long story...” 
As Julie and the boys filled you in, you were quick to understand their circumstances.
---
After that day, you and Julie had become quick friends. It was rare either of you was seen without the other. Every day after school you went to Julie’s house and practiced for the battle with the guys. However, the Battle of the Bands was still months away. 
Sighing, you sat on the stairs by the loft gazing at the sky. 
“Not that I don’t like spending time with you.” Luke’s voice rang through your ears. Dropping your gaze to his, he was quick to sit beside you.
“But shouldn’t you be practicing with your band?” 
Nodding your head, you felt overwhelmed by guilt. “Yeah, I should be.” 
“Maybe you should join our band,” Luke spoke his voice barely above a whisper.
Furrowing your eyebrows together in confusion, you whipped your head in his direction. His icy blue eyes captivating you. Replacing your feeling of guilt, you were filled with the desire to touch.
Lifting your hand, you cautiously began moving it towards Luke. Glancing upwards, you saw his gaze captured by your hand.
Sighing, you tried you. Placing your hand on his, you were fully expecting it to fall through his as it had done previously. Gasping in unison you gazed at each other.
Butterflies erupted in your stomach. Luke leaned forward as he rested his forehead against yours. Your breath mingling. Lifting your hands, you laced them in his earthy hair. In a matter of seconds, you were straddling his lap. Luke’s hands resting on your hips, as he tilted his chin up attaching his lips to yours. 
As his lips captured yours, a content sigh was exchanged between you. Pulling away, you gazed at each other. His eyes holding something you couldn’t quite place a finger on.
The innocent kiss quickly became one of passion. Tracing the seam of his bottom lip with your tongue, a groan fell from Luke’s lips. Tugging you towards his chest, a moan fell from both of your lips. With your chest pressed firmly against his, you slipped your tongue past his lips, licking against his. 
Gently, you tugged the ends of his hair causing another groan to tumble from him. The vibrations rumbling from his chest could be felt against your chest. His tongue moving against yours while it was in his mouth.
Pulling away, you both panted in unison. It didn’t take long before his lips were latched onto the skin below your ear, enticing a moan to tumble from your lips.
Allowing your head to fall back, you allowed him better access to your throat. Licking the length of your neck, he sucked and bit a trail making sure to leave bruises in his wake.
“Y/N?” “What are you doing?”
Gasping, you stumbled off of his lap turning to face the members of your band.
“What are you doing here?” 
“With the enemy?” 
“I...They...They aren’t the enemy.” You spoke crossing your arms over your chest as you gazed at them.
“What’s going on?” Julie questioned as the rest of the guys stood behind you.
“The members of my band are here.” You spoke.
“Oh.”
“That’s it.” They spoke. “You’re out of the band.” Leaving Julie’s house, you let out a saddened sigh.
“I-I...I’m sorry.” You sniffled as you turned to face Julie and the boys. Tears beginning to form in your eyes as they threatened to fall from your eyes.
“Don’t be,” Reggie spoke, wrapping his arms around your shoulders hugging you. Prompting the rest of them to hug you.
“I have an idea,” Alex spoke beaming. “Why don’t you join our band?” 
“That’s a great idea!” Julie exclaimed clasping her hands together. “I mean, you’re basically a member of the band anyway! O-Only if you want to...”
Frowning, you pondered the thought.
“What do you say?” Luke questioned, his eyes filled with hope.
Rolling your eyes, a smirk made its way to your lips. “I’d love to join the band.”

Pull Through Part 3
Please read part 1 first to make sure you check all of the trigger warnings❤️
"I'm freaking out. What are we gonna do?" Luke ran his hands through his hair and dropped into a cracked leather seat backstage. They were sitting in the dressing room at Club Hollywood, a lowkey bar in Downtown LA. By some form of miracle, Sunset Curve had managed to book their first proper gig, with real people watching, who actually wanted to watch. Granted, they were only opening for a slightly more well-known band, but it was a start. However, Bobby had called the club, and told them he wouldn't be able to make it. The boys were losing it, and had no idea what to do. "We can go on without him. It'll be fine, we're totally in sync." Luke stared at Alex and bit his lip. "Dude, you're kidding. It'll mess up the whole set, we need a second guitar." Reggie pouted and pointed to his guitar. "Hey, I'm still here." Luke rested his head in his hands and groaned. "Reg. You play bass." He rolled his eyes with a slight smirk, and started racking his brain. A flash of orange made him think, and he sat up, reaching for Alex's arm. "Come on. Drive me back to yours." Alex looked at him in disbelief. "What's that gonna do? We have another 2 hours before we have to get Becca, we need to practice." Luke pulled Alex to his feet, and looked him straight in the eye. "Trust me." Alex groaned, and looked to Reggie, who shrugged. "Reg, stay here. We'll be back soon." Reggie's face fell, and the boys heard him shouting after them, as Luke legged it down the corridor, closely tailed by Alex.
"Bex?" Becca looked up to her door, and was surprised to see a flustered looking Luke, his face red and hopeful. "Oh, hey Luke. What you doing here?" Luke stepped into her room, and closed the door behind him. Becca looked up at him expectantly, as he wrung his hands at the bottom of her bed. "Bobby dropped out for tonight." Becca's eyes widened, and she jumped off her bed. "What? But tonight's your first real gig!" Luke nodded, and strolled over to the corner of her room. "Anyway, we can't find anyone to fill in for him." Becca frowned as Luke's fingers trailed over the guitar in the corner. "Luke..." He turned to her with pleading eyes, and it took a bit of effort not to concede instantly. "Please, Bex. This means everything to me." He came towards her and grabbed her hands, squeezing them tightly. Becca looked up into his eyes, deep pools of green, with flecks of gold floating in them. She'd do anything for those eyes. "Luke, I can't. I don't play." He dropped her hands and rolled his eyes. "Bullshit. You have to play, I've seen your music! And I've heard you playing in the loft before. Please. I'm begging you." Becca looked over to the guitar in the corner and sighed. "I- Luke I've never played electric." His face lit up, and he grabbed it off the stand. "I'll teach you. We have two hours until we're on, and it's easier than acoustic. You'll pick it up in no time, I promise." His eyes were so hopeful, and he looked so young and innocent, that she couldn't say no. It meant so much to him. Becca looked to the homework on her bed, and sighed. "If I can figure it out, then yes. Maybe." His smile was so wide she thought it must hurt, and he caught her off guard by scooping her up and spinning her around in his arms. "Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Come on, let's go." He grabbed her hand and tried to pull her towards the door, but she stopped, and looked down at herself. "Luke?" He turned back and smiled at her, still tugging gently on her hand. "I can't go in this." She indicated to her sweats and the old hoodie, and he frowned. "True. You can't. Uh, you own anything black?" Becca snorted and headed for her wardrobe. "What kinda stuff do rockstars wear?" She bit back a laugh as Luke did a dramatic spin, holding out the lapels of his jacket. "Right, but I'm not gonna wear that, am I." She waved a hand at his sleeveless shirt, and low-cut jeans. Alex came in then, and groaned when he found Luke sitting on Becca's bed. "Dude, what have I said? You're not allowed in her room alone." Becca sent Alex a disapproving glance, and turned back to her wardrobe. "What should I wear tonight?" Alex moved to stand beside Becca, and reached into the mess of clothes. "You'll be backstage, so black works?" Becca frowned and looked to Luke questioningly, who was gesturing wildly behind Alex's back, drawing a line across his throat and shaking his head. "Uh, okay. Jeans? Or like a skirt? Or shorts... uh." Alex pulled a pair of black denim shorts out, and threw them at her. "There. They'll be fine. Luke?" He held open the door to Becca's bedroom, and raised his eyebrows. Luke sniffed and smirked, biting his lip and glancing at Alex as he walked out the door. Becca laughed as she heard Alex smack him in the hall, and pulled out the rest of her clothes. "That's my baby sister dude! No perving!" Luke laughed in response, and Becca imagined his goofy little grin, his hands shoved in his pockets, or fiddling with the chains on his jeans.
Luke snuck back into Becca's room a few minutes later, knocking to make sure she was decent. "I'm gonna dump this in the car- woah." Becca turned round to look at him with a nervous smile. "Do I look okay?" Luke gulped and blinked a few times. "Uh, yeh. You look great." Becca looked down at her outfit and bit her lip. Black cutoffs, and fishnet tights, paired with her black chuck taylors, and a Sunset Curve t-shirt  knotted at the front. After looking her up and down slowly, nodding in approval, Luke frowned a little and looked down at his own jeans. He put the guitar on the bed, before detaching one of the chains hanging from his belt loop and reaching towards her. "Here, this'll top it off." Becca's eyes grew as she watched Luke kneel down, and felt his hand on her waist, clipping the chains onto her shorts. "Great. Uh, meet you downstairs in 5?" Becca blinked and nodded, taking a step away from him and rubbing her neck awkwardly. Luke snapped his fingers at her and pulled the door shut behind him, leaving Becca to continue staring at herself in the mirror, tugging her shorts down every now and again. After throwing a black and grey checked flannel over her shoulders, she jumped down the stairs, and bumped into Alex coming out of the bathroom. "You look ace, proper little groupie we've got." He grabbed her hand and spun her around, before dragging her out to the car, where Luke was already  sitting, music blaring from the windows. "Cmon, we've got things to do!" Alex rolled his eyes at Luke's overexcited-puppy behaviour, and pulled back his seat to let Becca climb in. "Let's get this show on the road!" Luke turned and winked at Becca, leaving her to laugh at his antics, and watch out the window, one knee pulled up to her chest, chewing her lip anxiously.
Becca was pacing back and forth, wringing her hands desperately. They had an hour until they were expected on stage, and Luke still hadn't gotten a chance to come help her with the guitar part. In all honesty, she'd lied to Luke about never having played electric before, hoping to deter him from asking her. Obviously this hadn't worked, but she was pretty sure he wouldn't complain about it once they were on stage. "Hey, there you are. Ready to do this?" Becca turned to face Luke, her face almost grey. "I don't know why I said I could do this. I can't play on a stage! With all those people watching..." Luke stepped towards her and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, forcing her to look up at him. At 5'3, even Luke was tall to her, and her worried eyes met his, seeking comfort in the familiar emerald orbs. He pushed her gently towards the guitars in the corner, and swung the strap over his shoulder. He plugged in the amp, and strummed the strings quickly, tuning them with expert fingers. Satisfied, he shortened the strap a little, and held it out for her to step under. "It's a little heavier than what you're used to, but you won't notice it in a moment." Becca adjusted the strap again herself and frowned as her neck strained with the weight, before swinging her hair out from under the strap. Luke turned back to her, his own guitar hanging round his neck, and smiled at her reassuringly. "Okay, it's mainly A and D in the first verse. A first, then D, then A..." Luke continued to show her the chords for the set, smiling proudly every time she got it right, and resting his hand over her fingers every time she got it wrong, adjusting her fingers ever so lightly. It was sweet, watching his surprised expressions when she managed the more difficult combinations, and she felt a strange feeling in her stomach, as the time ticked by. "Okay so there's this one part, where Bobby and I usually play back and forth, kinda like call and response? But I can just play that whole section if you want?" Becca smirked and rolled her eyes. She knew the section well, and after years of listening to the boys play, she was pretty sure she had it engraved in her brain. "I'll give it a go. I think I know what bit you're on about." Luke pulled his guitar over his head and stepped behind her, putting his hands over hers. Becca's eyes widened and she gulped, mentally slapping her forehead and forcing her brain to cooperate. "So put your left hand on the 7th fret... yeah right there, A shape... perfect. 4th, 2nd, 6th, 3rd..." Becca lost focus as her head turned slightly to her left, and she found Luke's face, furrowed with concentration. She felt a smile tug at the corners of her lips, watching him bite his lip as his calloused fingers curved softly over her own. He noticed she wasn't playing, and turned to face her, his eyes meeting bright blue. A playful grin appeared on his face, and Becca felt a blush creeping up her chest. "Yo, Luke, we're on soon, you read- Bex?" Luke coughed and took a step back from Becca, grinning at Alex, who's eyes were wide and mildly disapproving. Becca rolled her eyes at Luke's expression, and swung the guitar over her head, resting it next to Luke's. "I've got this, Alex. Promise." Alex's face was wrought with worry and surprise, but after registering Luke and Becca's hopeful faces, he groaned, and walked away. "I'm gonna kill you Lucas." Luke grinned at Alex's retreating form, and the middle finger held high above his blonde hair, before turning to Becca. She stood with her arms across her chest, bottom lip in between her teeth as she chewed frantically. "Hey, Bex. You're okay." Luke reached a hand out and grabbed her hand, forcing her to let go of her lip so she could smile up at him. "You got this."
The wings were stuffy, men dressed all in black running across the stage now and again. Alex's drums sat pride of place on a platform towards the back, and the boys' and Becca's mics were arranged around at the front. She'd spoken to Luke, and convinced him she couldn't sing. It took a lot of convincing, but they stopped when Reggie had realised Becca was playing for them, pulling his surrogate little sister into his arms and hugging her tightly. "I always said we'd make a rockstar of you." Becca smiled as she thought about it, laughing to herself. Her, a rockstar? I don't think so. She'd leave that to Alex. A hand between her shoulder blades told her it was time to go, and Becca looked up at Alex. He looked nervous, but excited at the same time, if that was even possible. She imagined he felt similar to her, with butterflies going mental in her stomach, and weird shivers creeping up her spine every 2 minutes. They stepped into the blinding lights of the stage together, Alex's hand only leaving her back when they reached her mic. Luke nodded towards their guitar stands, and Becca followed him over. "Breathe. You'll be great." His hand brushed hers, and she smiled, taking the guitar he offered her. "Let's do this." With one final smirk, Luke turned to the crowd, hardly visible through the smoke off the lights, and started waving, smiling like a madman. Becca rolled her eyes, and swung the guitar strap over her head. With one final breath, she turned to face the crowd also, finding herself grinning in anticipation. She looked around the boys, and found her heart clenching desperately, as she registered the looks of unadulterated bliss on their faces. Alex was rubbing his drumsticks together, his eyes sparkling in the lights, as he tossed his hair off his forehead. Reggie was waving into the crowd excitedly, jumping up and down on his toes lightly. Luke was knelt down towards the front, grabbing the hands of some high school girls they knew. Becca frowned at this, and turned her attention back to her guitar. "Hey everyone! We've got a special guest tonight, our drummer's little sister, Bex!" The audience clapped and cheered, and Becca felt her chest tighten. "We're Sunset Curve-" Reggie jumped in. "Tell your friends!" The lights in the audience came down, and as Reggie struck the first chord, Becca felt like the world was moving in slow motion. Her own fingers started sliding up and down the fretboard, and she felt a jolt of energy flow through her as she picked the first string. Alex came in, and her heart rate picked up. This was it. And then suddenly, a rush of adrenaline sped through her, setting her skin on fire, as Luke began to sing. He was jumping up and down, his left leg kicking out to the side every other chord. Becca stopped thinking, and tossed her hair behind her as the chorus started, trying everything in her power not to join in. Alex was going mental behind her, his hands flying around the drum kit so fast she could hardly make out the pale beige of his sticks. Reggie was having the time of his life, head thrown back in excitement. Luke was the one to watch though. He was like a man possessed, his eyes on fire as his hands flew around his guitar expertly, occasionally jumping off to grab the mic, and letting Becca take over the main melody line. Her cheeks were aching, and it was too much work not to sing. As the second chorus kicked in, she let go, and stepped up to her mic properly.
Don't look down 'Cause we're still rising Up right now
Luke turned in surprise as a fourth voice joined in, but his face lit up when he realised the voice carrying throughout the club was hers, and he grinned at her. She rolled her eyes, and continued, reaching a hand up when she got the chance to run her fingers through her curls, grabbing her mic and pulling it closer to her.  
And even if we hit the ground We'll still fly Keep dreaming like we'll live forever But live it like it's now or never
The bridge was coming up, and Luke cast a glance over his shoulder, trying to make a decision in the next few seconds. Becca was radiant, her eyes glowing with a fire he'd only ever felt, never seen. He gulped as her hand ran through her curls, coming back to rest on the mic in front of her. She was incredible, and his eyes drifted to where her hands now rested on the fretboard of his old Fender, chipped black nail polish against the red of her fingertips, bruising from the pressure. Something clicked, and he silently apologised to Alex, before catching Becca's eye, and nodding at her, asking her to join him. She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help herself, and moved towards him.
We ain't searching for tomorrow (tomorrow) 'Cause we got all we need today (today)
Becca met Luke at his mic, just as she joined Reggie on the top harmony, her voice ringing in Luke's ears. If he hadn't been so caught up in the moment, he would have been speechless. They were nearly touching, and Becca could feel Luke's hot breath on her face as they shared the mic. Their eyes never left each others, and Becca could feel Alex's glare burning the backs of their heads. Luke's hair fell forward onto his forehead, the tips damp with sweat. In that moment, with the fire in his eyes, his arms bulging, and voice raspy as ever, Becca had never found him more attractive.
Living on a feeling that's been running through our veins We're the revolution that's been singing in the rain
Becca turned to look at Reggie, who was looking at Luke with an amused expression. As they got ready to launch into the last chorus, Becca decided it really was now or never, and jumped onto the platform Alex was on, shooting him a smile as he sang and clapped his hands, head shaking ever so slightly towards her. She winked and started up the final chords, eyes closed in pure ecstasy, high on the energy of the music. She could feel eyes on her, and had a feeling Luke's were included in that. Indeed, when she opened her eyes, green met blue, and she almost felt the need to cover up. Luke's eyes burned through her, and she couldn't take her eyes off him, or the look on his face. He was in absolute awe of her, and the light that radiated from her when she played. He knew what it was, because she looked how he felt. Overcome with the music, she'd let herself go completely, her heart beating with the drums, her blood flowing with the melody, her only source of oxygen the words of the song. His only question was why she'd never joined them before. She was breathtaking on stage, and after a confirmatory glance at the audience, he knew it wasn't just because of his childhood crush. Of the many stares from the audience, a lot of them were on her, everyone wondering who this electrified beauty was. As the final chord rang out, from Luke's guitar, there was a millisecond of silence, in which Becca jumped off Alex's mini stage, and made her way back to her mic, hands resting on top of her guitar gently. The applause was deafening, and Becca dropped her eyes to her shoes, shuffling her feet side to side. That was until someone grabbed her hand, and she looked up, to find Luke beaming down at her. He dragged her off stage, and she found herself laughing hysterically, unable to contain herself. Luke lifted the guitar off her shoulders and leant it against the wall, before turning back to her and pulling her into a hug. "You were so awesome! I fucking knew you could do it, I knew it! You rocked that, they loved you!" Becca squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder, not caring about the layer of sweat making his skin glitter in the soft light. "Dude, get off her." Luke dropped Becca to the floor gently and turned around sheepishly, face falling when he spotted Alex. His smile quickly returned, when he noticed the look of pride on Alex's face, and he watched as Becca sprinted towards him, jumping into his arms as he spun her round. "Who would've thought, my baby sister, a rockstar? You were incredible, I had no idea you could do that?" Becca giggled as Alex set her back down, still jumping up and down on her tiptoes with excitement. Reggie came running through a moment later, sweat running down his forehead. "Sorry, went off the wrong side. Bex? What the heck?" He held out his arms, and she gave him a tight hug, laughing at the look of pure astonishment on his face. She stood between Alex and Reggie, Alex's arm resting over her shoulders comfortably. They jostled her between them as they made their way back to the dressing room, Luke walking behind them with his hands shoved in his pockets, a triumphant grin resting on his face. "I wish I'd placed bets, I would've made so much cash!" Becca rolled her eyes and slid her jacket off her shoulders, dropping onto the couch. "I don't think I've ever sweat this much. You could've warned me, I'd have brought a spare shirt." Alex grabbed his bag from down beside the couch, and reached into it, tossing her a sunset curve shirt. "Thanks. How many of these things do you have?" Becca stood up and grabbed the hem of her shirt, dragging it over her stomach. Alex yelled and jumped in front of her, pulling it back down. "Uh, not here." Becca looked to Reggie, who was kneeling on the floor, sorting out piles of t-shirts, and to Luke, who was conveniently facing the door. "It's fine, Alex." He groaned and turned round, trying to block her from view with his body. A soft chuckle came from the direction Luke faced, and Becca smirked, pulling the fresh top on gratefully. "Cool, so what do we do now? Is that us done for the night?" Luke spun round, walking towards his own bag, and knelt down. "Pretty much, yeh. I'll just drop you home and then go to Reggie's to help the boys get everything sorted." Luke snorted from his spot on the floor, and dragged his shirt over his head, using it to wipe his face before throwing it at Reggie. Becca's eyes raked over his body, taking in his chest, those abs... Alex noticed, and kicked Luke, who hadn't let Becca's gaze go unnoticed, and smirked. "My eyes are up here, Bex." Becca rolled her eyes and took a step towards the window, leaning on the ledge and sighing as the chilled air hit her back. "I was just trying to figure out where you find the time to go to the gym, you know, between band rehearsals and all the school work you do." Luke smirked again, tugging his fresh top over his head. This one had sleeves, she noticed regretfully. "Gym isn't the only way to work out Bex." He winked at her, and dodged away from Alex's fist, falling onto the sofa laughing. "No sex jokes in front of my baby sister!" Alex fell on top of him and started pummeling Luke's chest playfully, leaving Becca to process what Luke had just said. Reggie appeared at her side, leaning his elbow on her shoulder. "Ignore him. He's in the studio so much, I've walked in on him almost a million times hanging from the rafters." Becca looked up at him in feigned confusion, but the rush of relief in her stomach was undeniable. "Don't worry, I won't say anything." He walked away with a knowing smirk, picking up an armful of t-shirts from the floor. "Guys, come on." Alex rolled off of Luke, and swung his bag over his shoulder, following Reggie out the door. Luke did the same, but he winked at Becca as he left, reaching his hand out towards her. "Now for the afterparty."

Pull Through Part 2
Please read part 1 first to make sure you read all of the trigger warnings❤️
The next morning, Becca woke up late, and groaned as she stretched, realising she was still wearing yesterday's jeans. Stripping her hoodie and top off, and dropping her jeans on her bedroom floor, she stepped into the shower, sighing in relief as the hot water ran down her back. Saturdays were always quiet for Becca. With her parents working and Alex with the boys, she normally took time to muck around with her skateboard, forbidden by her parents after a broken wrist that stopped her from writing properly for 6 weeks. But this Saturday was apparently going to be different. Becca came jumping down the stairs around 12, wet hair dripping down her back, and glasses resting comfortably on her nose. The house was quiet, so she wandered through the house in sweats and a sports bra, humming quietly as she made her way around the kitchen, climbing on the counter to grab the cereal from the cupboard. She was in her own little world, dancing a little as she opened the fridge to get the milk, swinging the door shut and turning round. The milk fell to the floor as she noticed Luke, sitting on the counter swinging his legs. "Luke! What are you doing here?" Luke smirked and jumped down, walking over to her and picking up the milk. He handed it to her, eyes widening as he took in her clothes, or lack thereof. Becca noticed at the same time and crossed her arms across her chest, squeaking quietly. "I didn't think there was anyone home, I'll go change, sorry, I uh-" She was cut off by the sudden appearance of Bobby and Reggie, closely followed by Alex. They were laughing at some unknown joke, but silence fell over them as they realised how close Luke and Becca were standing. Becca jumped back, swallowing and closing her eyes in embarrassment. Bobby was almost drooling, his eyes raking up and down her body less-than-innocently. Luke took a step in front of Becca, shielding her from Bobby's gaze with a protective hand on her arm. "Dude, stop. I've already told you, she's off limits." Alex came towards them, pushing Bobby away, and grabbing Becca by the wrist. "Go get changed." Becca rolled her eyes and shook him off, heading towards the stairs. Luke watched her go, feeling a blush creep up his neck. Knowing Alex might kill him if he saw, he pulled his hoodie up, and headed for the fridge, trying to cool off. He felt bad, she was very much off-limits, and he knew that, but he was a 17 year old guy- what else could he do when he saw his childhood crush basically topless?
Becca came sauntering down the stairs 20 minutes later, hoodie pulled over her head, and avoided the kitchen, where she could hear the boys talking. Her arm was still tingling from where Luke had touched her, she thought, as she rubbed it absentmindedly. It was a nice day, the sun shining through the blinds in the living room. Having perfectionist parents sucked, she remembered, looking into their backyard, at the neatly cut grass, and perfectly pruned flowerbeds. It didn't look too cold, which meant she might be able to skate. It took her all of 5 minutes to work out what she was doing, and ran through to the kitchen. The boys all turned to look at her, Bobby rolling his eyes slightly when Alex shot him a warning glance. Luke was leaned up against the counter, hands in pockets and ankles crossed. "How much do you love me?" Alex looked down at her in disbelief, while Luke and Reggie smirked, knowing where this was going. Bobby continued to eat his toast, totally oblivious. "They'll kill you, and me for good measure." Becca stuck out her lower lip and turned on the puppy dog eyes, pleading with him silently. He groaned and nodded, checking the time. "We'll leave in 10." Becca squealed and jumped up to hug him, before doing a little happy dance. "Where are we going?" Bobby frowned and looked to Alex expectantly. "I'm gonna drop her at the skatepark on our way to Reg's, can you guys grab your stuff?" Bobby scrunched up his nose, and ran his fingers through his hair. "You skate? That's not very ladylike." Becca stopped dancing, and put her hands on her hips, cocking her head to one side. "And how would you know what a lady likes?" Bobby raised his eyebrows at her, and took a step towards her. "Wouldn't you like to find out?" Alex stepped forward, looking furious, and Luke's expression was thunderous. Even Reggie looked pissed. But before they could interject, Becca replied. "Oh please, you couldn't find it if you tried." Luke's jaw dropped, a blush spreading across his cheeks. Reggie looked slightly confused, but impressed, and Alex was horrified, his hands covering his face. Becca flipped Bobby off and left, not missing the impressed look Luke sent her way, or the way his eyes trailed up and down her quickly. It was probably a coincidence- there was no way he thought about her like that. As she reached the stairs, she overheard Reggie. "How does she even know what it is?" A deep, throaty laugh filled the kitchen. "Dude, girls get horny too." Luke's retort made her laugh quietly, and she tucked her hair behind her ears, warmth spreading across her face. Gagging noises, presumably from Alex, proceeded to echo into the hall, and Becca sprinted up the stairs, so they wouldn't hear her laughing.
The skate park was teeming with kids, Saturday afternoons being one of the most popular times. Becca was sticking to the smaller ramps, her nerves still a bit on edge after her accident. "Hey Mercer, haven't seen you around here in time!" Ray, one of her closest friends, appeared beside her, patting her on the back and holding his arm out. She fist-bumped him and grinned, pulling him into a hug. Her board was covered in the remainder of Luke's stickers, with a couple of homemade Sunset Curve ones thrown in for good measure. She'd been messing around with some band designs a few months ago, and decided stickers would be a good idea. They were actually pretty popular, and she'd ended up handing them around a couple of kids at school. Sunset Curve weren't huge yet, but they'd played a handful of gigs, and they were some of the most popular Seniors at Los Feliz High. "So, where've you been?" Becca shrugged and smiled, flipping her board into her hand. "Around." Ray nodded and shoved his hands in his pockets. His helmet was undone, the straps dangling around his chin. Becca wasn't one for small talk, so she set her board down, and gave James a challenging stare. "Race you." He scoffed and clipped his helmet, before following her down the ramp, chasing her to the end of the park. She kept a decent lead, laughing when he reached her at the otherside, tossing her hair behind her shoulder. "How do you do that? You haven't been here in months, and you're still 10x better than me." Becca shrugged and shook her head, tossing her hair over her shoulder. She looked up at the sky, and closed her eyes in despair. "Fuck, what time is it?" Ray frowned and checked his watch, showing it to her. It was after 7, and she'd missed dinner. "I gotta go. Catch you next weekend?" Ray nodded and watched as she skated away, helmet in hand and curls waving wildly around her head. He smirked and rubbed his own hair, before turning away to meet his friends.
Becca ran through the front door, and legged it up the stairs, tossing her skateboard into her closet. Her dad came thundering through her bedroom door, eyes rimmed red and clothes dishevelled. "And where exactly have you been?" Becca bit her lip, trying to keep control of her emotions, but she could feel her hands shaking. "I was just out with some friends." She could smell the beer from her bed, and she tried to swallow, her throat bone dry. "You were skating, weren't you? You were with that boy!" Becca shook her head desperately, tears threatening to spill over. Graham inched closer, finger pointed accusingly in her face. As he reached her bedside, his face softened, and his shaking finger stroked her cheek gently. "I just want you to succeed. I can't have you getting hurt. You're my only hope." Becca tried her hardest to smile, but her heart was racing in her chest. "I just want what's best for you Rebecca." She nodded at him, wincing at the taste of blood in her mouth. She'd chewed through her lip. Graham looked around her room, before stumbling out, mumbling incoherently to himself. Becca pulled her knees up to her chest and let herself go, sobs racking through her body. She didn't hear the front door slam, or Alex and the boys coming up the stairs a few minutes later, but they heard her. Alex's face fell, and he shook his head. "Give me a minute?" Luke watched through the gap in Becca's door, as Alex ran in, pulled her shaking form into his chest, and winced as her sobs got louder, sounding more and more broken by the second. Reggie pulled him away from the top of the stairs, and shut Alex's door. "What do you think happened?" Luke continued to stare at the door, ignoring Reggie. "She's crying." Reggie waved a hand in front of Luke's face, and pushed him onto Alex's bed. "Uh, yeah." Luke blinked, and looked up at Reggie. "Becca's crying. That doesn't happen. What's going on?" Reggie sighed and started walking around Alex's room, fiddling with the neatly lined up drumsticks on the wall. "No idea. He'll tell us later." Luke lay back on Alex's bed and stared at the ceiling, fingers playing with the chain around his neck. What felt like an hour later, Alex came through the door, rubbing his forehead. He collapsed into the chair in the corner of his room, and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "You alright man?" Alex sighed and sat up. "Yeah, great. You guys want to order pizza?" Luke glanced at the door and gulped. "Is Bex okay?" Alex looked at his feet, before standing up and pulling his shirt off. Luke frowned at the wet stain on the front, black smudges presumably from Becca's makeup. Alex pulled a hoodie over his head and fiddled with his hair in the mirror, trying to work out a response that didn't totally betray Bex. "She's asleep now. She'll be fine." Luke pushed for more information, despite Reggie's not-so-subtle faces. "What happened?" Alex groaned and leaned his forehead against the mirror, grateful for the coolness on his face, which was burning with suppressed anger. "Our dad's pretty hard on her. And when he's drinking, he's worse." Luke's mouth dropped slightly, and he tugged on his necklace. "Oh. Shit, I'm sorry man." Reggie stepped forward and squeezed Alex's arm gently. "She's got some stuff going on with her head. She has meds and stuff but she doesn't always take them. They make her tired." His voice fell quiet at this, and Luke looked back to the door. Something in him desperately wanted to go and hug her, but he knew it was a bad idea. "I had no clue." Alex shrugged and played with the tiers of his hoodie. "Anyway, pizza?" The boys shared a look and nodded, but as they walked past Becca's door, Luke paused. Inside was silent, so he presumed she was asleep. He rested his hand on the door, tempted to go inside and check she was alright, but Alex looked back at him, and tilted his head in the direction of the kitchen. Luke bit his lip for a moment, before shaking his head and following his best friends down the stairs.
Eyes puffy and swollen, Becca climbed out of bed the next morning feeling utterly empty, and as she stared in the mirror, she hardly recognized the burnt out shell looking back at her. She sniffed and reached behind her to tie her hair back, letting her arms fall a moment later. It was another one of those days. But she knew what she had to do, so she pulled her curtains open, blinking in the sunlight. An exhausting shower and outfit change later, Becca sighed and tugged at her clothes, resisting the urge to cry again. She failed and collapsed to the floor, hugging her knees to her chest while hot tears dripped down her cheeks. A soft knock on the door paired with Alex's entrance made her look up, and he sighed, before crouching down beside her and reaching out, pulling her up. "Cmon. What you wanna do?" Becca shrugged and leaned against her brother, breathing in the comforting scent of lemon from his bodywash. "I dunno. Where are the boys?" Alex shook his head and started pulling up her bed, organising the cushions and playing with the sequins on one of them. "I sent them over to Reggie's without me. It's just you and me today." Becca smiled gratefully and rubbed a hand over her arm. "I don't mind. I'm happy to chill here if you want to go practice with the guys?" Alex's face fell a little and he stepped towards her. "Hey. You know I can't do that." Becca rolled her eyes slightly, but nodded. "Okay. Can I come down to the garage and watch you practice?" Alex narrowed his eyes but nodded. "Yeah, and then we'll do your maths homework." She groaned, but grabbed her school bag and a blanket, and followed him downstairs. Alex had started playing drums when he was 11, after his anxiety got so bad he had to come out of school for a while. Their parents weren't very understanding, but after multiple run-ins with the police when he went missing from school, they realised they had to fix something. And then 3 years later, when Becca was 13, they found her in her room at 3am, blade against her wrist. It was the 90s, and mental health wasn't really a thing, but after 18 months of weekly therapy, Becca had finally been in a slightly better place- until Alex had come out as gay, and their dad had come home kicking and screaming about it. She'd stood up for her brother, and hadn't backed down until her dad pushed her down the stairs in a drunken rage. Since then, the bumpy scar above her right eyebrow, accompanied by many that marked her past dips, had plagued her existence daily. More recently, her bad days had been less frequent, much to Alex's relief. His little sister was everything to him, and he would do anything to protect her. It killed him inside that he couldn't fight the demons in her mind for her.
Monday morning saw Becca sitting in the front seat of Alex's mustang, the boys crammed in the back. They were strangely quiet, besides Bobby, who was leaning on her chair, trying desperately to make small talk. "So what kinda skateboarding do you do?" Becca stared at Alex out the corner of her eye, silently begging for him to make it stop. "The kind where you use a board dipshit. Shut up." There was a thump as Bobby's back hit the seat, and Luke's face appeared in it's place. "Alex, do you mind stepping on it? We got places to be man." Becca snorted and turned to look at him. He had his chin resting in his hands, leaning on the centre console. He looked up at her, pouting, and she couldn't help but smile. "And what important places do you have to be other than school?" Luke shrugged and disappeared into the backseat, his feet replacing his face on the console. "Alex?" Alex shot a death glare at Luke and glanced at Becca out the corner of his eye. "Uh, we might have a gig tonight. Ish. So we're gonna rehearse all day. We're just dropping you at school first." Becca frowned and turned in her seat to look at the boys in the back. Luke was pulling a face, looking anywhere but her, and Reggie was suddenly very interested in an empty juice can left in the back pocket of Alex's seat by Becca. "You could've just told me. Now you've got to drive all the way back to Reggie's." Alex grimaced and glared at the boys in the rearview. "Yeah, that's what I said. No-one ever listens to me though." Once more the boys all turned away, whistling and occupying themselves with anything else they could. "Woah, you guys don't trust me? I'm hurt." She clutched her chest in mock agony, but frowned a little when she got hardly any reaction, turning to face the front again. "Can't I come watch? It can be my birthday present?" Alex looked at her out the corner of his eye. "You know I can't do that." Becca looked down and nodded, biting her lip. "Yeh. Sorry. Can you get me after school though?" Alex nodded, and pulled up to the front of school. Becca clambered out, tapping the window on Reggie's side. He waved up at her, and kept waving as they drove away. Luke crawled out of the car, and watched as Becca hugged a light-haired boy at the top of the steps. He frowned a little, and got into the front seat. "Hey Alex, does Bex have a boyfriend?" Alex looked at him suspiciously, and started to drive away, while Luke watched Becca walk into the school side by side with the boy. At least they weren't holding hands? Not that he cared. "She doesn't as far as I'm aware, and she shouldn't. I haven't met him anyway, and she hasn't mentioned anyone. Why?" Luke laughed at Alex's defensive tone, and shrugged. "Nah, just wondering. Saw her with a guy back there." The car swerved to the left as Alex tried to look behind him, and Luke grabbed the wheel. "Dude! You're driving." Alex shook his head and got the car back under control. "Right, driving." Turning the volume up on the radio, Luke scrunched up his nose, propped his feet up on the dash, and stared out of the window, drumming his fingers on the door frame.

“Are you excited for prom?” Flynn questioned as she leaned against the lockers beside yours.
Rolling your eyes, you shrugged. “I suppose. I’m more excited for Julie to go. She’s been talking about it non-stop.”
Closing your locker, you leaned against it facing her. 
“Oh, I completely agree-”
Not allowing Flynn to finish her sentence, the quarterback from the football team stood beside you, gently tugging your wrist drawing your attention towards him. Turning to face him, you raised an eyebrow in question as you sent a skeptical glance at Flynn.
“What-”
“W-I-L-L....” The cheer team seemingly came out of nowhere spelling out will you go to prom with me, for the quarterback.
His public display causing everyone in the hall to halt their actions while turning to face the commotion.
Heat quickly danced along your cheeks, as your eyes darted around the hall seeing your fellow students staring at you expectantly. As you stood in place with everyone’s prying eyes, you began shifting from foot to foot as you were overwhelmed with being uncomfortable. 
“So?” The quarterback questioned, handing you a bouquet of roses. “Will you go to prom with me?”
Nodding your head, you hummed. “Uh, Yeah.”
The hallway erupted in cheers of excitement as the quarterback raced forward wrapping his arms around your waist, lifting you off the ground as he twirled you around.
---
“So I heard you got asked to prom,” Julie spoke as you walked side by side to the loft.
“Oh. Uh, yeah I did.” You muttered, your mind clouded with thoughts.
“I wouldn’t have pegged you for someone to go to prom.” She spoke, her voice laced with envy.
“Yeah, well.” You spoke. “I wasn’t expecting to go. Especially since..”
“Since what?” Julie stopped walking turning to face you with a raised eyebrow.
“N-Nothing.” You stuttered dropping your gaze to the ground in front of you.
“Uh-huh.” 
“It’s just...” Letting out a frustrated huff, you pinched the bridge of your nose. “Can you just drop it?”
Julie gasped as she placed a hand over her beaming smile. Her sudden realization taking you by surprise causing you to jump.
“You like Luke!” She whispers yelled. “I knew it!”
“Shh!” You hissed glancing in the direction of the loft. “Maybe I do.”
Letting out an excited squeal she did a little jog in place. “This changes everything!”
“This changes nothing.” You muttered while frowning.
“What’s going to change?” Reggie questioned as the rest of the boys walked out of the loft joining you and Julie.
“Nothing!” Both you and Julie exclaimed in unison, soon after bursting at the seams with giggles neither of you could contain.
“Okay...” Reggie spoke gazing between you with a confused expression.
---
“Y/N got asked to prom.” Julie suddenly spoke.
“Dude!” You hissed turning to face her, hands in the air.
“You did?” Alex questioned turning to face you, not long after throwing his arms around your shoulders pulling you in for a bone-crushing hug. “That’s so amazing!”
Reggie mirrored Alex’s excitement giving you an enthusiastic hug.
Letting out a frustrated huff, Luke slammed down the items that were in his hands, before rushing out of the loft.
“What’s his problem?” You turned to face the group confusion etched along your features.
---
“Wow.” Flynn and your dad spoke in unison, as you and Julie held each other's hand, carefully walking down the stairs.
“You girls look...” Your dad spoke.
“Breathtaking.” Flynn finished for him, once you both made it down the stairs.
“Okay, okay.” Your dad spoke. “Let’s get some pictures of just the girls.”
Time passed as you awaited the arrival of your date. 
“Are you sure you don’t want us to wait with you?” Flynn questioned. “We don’t have a problem waiting.”
“No! You girls go. I’ll meet you there.” You spoke, giving your sister and best friend a hug before helping them into your dad’s car.
“I’ll be back pumpkin.” He spoke kissing the crown of your head.
Standing on the porch, you waved to the car filled with people you cared about pulled out of the driveway.
Sighing you anxiously smoothed down your dress. Flynn had helped you decide on your dress. It was a silk baby pink dress with a sweetheart neckline. A strip of material was replaced with lace mesh that was decorated with pearl beads throughout it. Flynn had helped you do an elegant bun with curled tendrils that framed your face.
As more time passed by, you were overwhelmed by the feeling that he wasn’t coming. Making your way to the loft, you decided you would spend time with guys that want to be with you.
Letting out a sigh, bounded carefully down the stairs that led to the loft. Making it to loft, you lifted your gaze as your jaw fell slack, a gasp fell from your lips.
Standing before you was Reggie, Alex, and Luke, all dressed in black and white tuxes. Gazing around the loft, you were met with stars and moons hanging from the ceiling. Similar to what would’ve been at prom.
“We thought since you got stood up-” Alex elbowed Reggie harshly in the ribs. “We would bring prom to you.” 
“Oh, guys!” You exclaimed rushing towards the three guys, pulling them in for a group hug. “You didn’t have to do this.”
“We didn’t do it because we had to,” Reggie spoke. “We did it because we wanted to.”
