" youh its your boy Luke not available at the moment, you know the drill..... peace!!" Liz clicked her tounge" ok now he doesn't answer my calls" she frowned because she didn't know what to do next.
"Liz ...I hate this stupid...he..a..rt of mine [ sobs] it feels like someone is holding it and squeezing it tightly...like someone is sucking out all of my oxygen...I hate this feeling Liz I wanna die.....I wanna die ....end ..i.t please....cant take it nomore" Minnie clutched Liz's arm and continued crying.
" please baby stop crying you gonna get sick if you continue like this.I promise you I'll try my best to fix this even if its the last thing I do.Now rest babe it will be alright." Liz said trying to coax Minnie which was working as she finally dozed off. She softly told Minnie to go and sleep on the bed, after putting a quilt over Minnie she went on to sit on her bed.
Liz wasn't sure what really happened between Minnie and her boyfriend buh she knew one thing .She was tired....tired of that guy treating her friend like shit.
Everybody knows how much of a playboy he is yet he has a girlfriend. She always told Minnie to leave him alone but she'd always say " Liz you dont understand what love is ..love is accepting someone with all the flaws and imperfections he has...loving someone is realising that he has a lot of wars he's fighting and you dont just stand by him but you also help him fight....He can break my heart into million of pieces but when it heals it beats for him I can spend the whole day trying to describe love but one thing I'm sure of is ..this is a feeling I'm not ready to lose anytime soon." Liz sighed helplessly after remembering her friend's words.

Luke got to his car and found his four friends Jason, Bryan,Tom and Zake standing by the car waiting for him. "Hey bro you look like you just got dumped wassup?" Tom the naughty one said teasingly not knowing he just hit a nerve.Bryan who saw the tension between Minnie and Luke knocked Tom's head thrice and Tom winced "aaauw what's that for "
" Sometimes you should learn to shut your trap Tom " Bryan warned .
"I don't know about you guys but I'm famished.How about we go and eat pizza in the newly opened restuarant at the Starr Plaza." said Jason breaking the awkwardness.
"Oh yeah bro I heard that their food is over the top.Can't wait to try it " Tom was salivating while brushing his tummy with dreamy eyes .
Zake chuckled and hit Tom's head "snap out of it duff and lets go"
"whats wrong with you guys today.I swear I'm gonna suffer a concussion the way you busy with my head" Tom was whinning like a five year old.
The five of them got into the car and Bryan was driving while Luke was sitting on the passenger sit. Zake, Jason and Tom were sitting at the back busy arguing about a lot of things. They all noticed how Luke was awfully quite but none of them had the guts to ask him whats wrong.
Tom being the nosy person he is nudged Jason on the stomach and whispered "whats wrong with him? He ain't himself. "
" How should I know because I was with you the whole time?.Why don't you ask him yourself?" Jason whispered back.
"You ask him because you noone takes me seriously " retorted Tom.
J " you ask him "
T " no you ask him"
J " no you "
T " you "
Zake who was sitting by the window watching the two could not help but shake his head 'These two are Tom and Jerry'.
The two's squabbling went on for minutes until Jason decided to end it."Okay fine you little piece of shit I'll do it " he whisper yelled glaring at his friend.
" uhhm Luke what's wrong brother ? You haven't said a word since you came back. Everything ok?" Jason asked with a worried face .
Luke was who drowning in his pain was not in the mood to talk so he just said "I'm fine bro just a migraine I think I need a rest then I'll be good.Bryan please drop me at home then take the car you'll bring it later ."
The three at the back looked at each other confusedly then just shrugged their shoulders.They all knew that Luke wasn't even telling them half the truth but it wasn't the right time to push him to giving them anwers.
Bryan simply nodded at Luke's request . 'I'll talk to him later when I return his car because we'll be alone.Something is definitely up with him but now is not the right time.' Bryan thought.
