Regrets

Luke's pOv.

I strive to keep my head low as I walk

out of the failed attempt of what was

suppose to be a nice evening

I wipe away the pizza sauce from the

side of my face with the back of my

sleeve and make my way to my car.

Somehow this always happens.

But this time, I didn't expect to get

slapped on the side of the face with a

slice of pizza.

Why you may ask?

Another girlfriend, another date,

another fail.

When I get to my car, I slam the door

closed and put my head in my hands.

God I'm such a screw up.

It's been almost two years now and

every single girl I tried to impress

either just walked away, wanted more,

cheated,.. or now I guess physically hit

me with a slice of pizza.

Just another one to add to the list.

I just want one, ONE girl who doesnt

care so much about herself.

But that's kind of hard when you are

the heir of a rich family.

Two stuck up parents and four snobby

brothers, what could be worse?

I feel my phone going off in my pocket

and I look at the caller ID to see it was

Ashton.

I glance back up at Vicky, I guess my

now Ex, storming out of the restaurant,

her screeching heels making the agony

of losing yet another date even worse.

I met her at a nightclub that Zander

dragged me and Jake to.

I recall him saying, "It's time to bring

back the old Zander dance style."

Let's just say that me and Jake stayed

very.. very far from the dance floor

that night,.

Very far.

Very.

Far.

Looking back, when I first talked to

her, she was hesitant.

But when I introduced myself as a

Barrington, aka my curse of a last

name, I should have known from the

start she was just a money seeker.

I look back down at my phone and

swipe to answer.

"Hey man what's up?" I hear a voice on

the other side.

"Its going."I say in a low voice leaning

back on my car seat.

"Let me guess, it didn't go so well?"

I knew I shouldn't have told him about

yet another date.

"Try being slapped in the face with a

slice of cheese pizza." I almost laugh at

how pathetic my voice sounds.

"Maybe you should just. take a break

from dating." Ashton reasons. but I quickly dismiss the thought.

"You say that every single time."

"Yeah, and every single time you

chose not to listen, I have to say it yet

another time." He says in a gruff voice.

"Yeah wel, at least you have a

girlfriend, which by the way, how is

Julie?" I ask trying to get rid of the

original topic.

"No, we are not changing the topic

here Mr. I am Luke Barrington and I

don't listen to good advice." He says

mockingly.

"Damn you."

'Language.

"Did you just language me Ashton?"

"Sorry, Julie gave me that annoying

habit." He sighs.

Suddenly, I start too hear background

noises on the phone.

"No Julie, baby, Im on the phone."

"DidI say annoying? I meant.. I.. uh.."

"Yea it's him."

"No, we are having a man to man talk."

Just wait. "

"No get your own phone

Then, a loud WHACK was followed

which made me jump in my seat.

Luke how are you!" A cheerful voice

says on the other side.

"Oh, uh hey Julie."

This time, I actually laugh when I hear

a groaning noise in the background.

"So, how did your date go?" She

questions and I instantly cringe at

myselt.

From my silence, I think she takes the

hint.

"It's okay Luke, there are plenty of fish

in the sea.

"Thanks Julie."

Another moving sound is made and by

the sound on the other side, I can tell

Ashton took back his phone.

Wait! No Gimme!" Julie frantically

shouts.

"Don't you have work in the morning?"

Ashton says back.

"Mhhm. No..

"Mhhm. Yes..

"Ugh fine, but I'm stealing food from

your kitchen."

"Didn't your own mother cook food at

your own house?"

"But that's too far away.

"You live right next door."

I have no idea what your talking about "You know what.. I better go." I ay

into the phone interrupting their conversation

"Oh okay, well, be safe." Ashton says.

"Okay, tell Julie I said bye."

"Will do." He says, I hit the end call

button and put my phone back in my

pocket.

Guess it's time to make my way to hell.

Oh did I say hell?

Well, I meant it.

I groan as I am yet again stopped by

the traffic.

It's not like I'm even in a rush to get

back..

My so called family probably doesn't

even care ifI even bother to show up.

I mean why would they?

With four 'perfect' sons, who cares

about the fifth one who is sociably

known as the 'badboy' and is not the

perfect straight A student I am strongly

encouraged to be.

Ipull out my phone and punch in

locations to another route.

Igo off to the nearest exit and make

my way down the road, turning up the

volume on the radio just to drown my

thoughts away from everything

I'm just glad that it is summer and my

junior year is finally over with.

I have to admit though, it's going to

be strange entering my senior year

without Jake, Ashton, or Zander, but at

least I will have Damien and Julie there

with me.

I shake the thoughts out of my head as

I continue down the long road.

It's official.

I am lost.

About a mile or two down the road,

my phone died so I couldn't follow my

map.

If I just would have stayed in that stupid Highway. I could have avoided this mesS all together.

I sigh out loud as I look at the Steak

and Shake that I passed for now the

sixtieth time.

i swear, all the roads just make one big

Loop, because I have gotten nowhere.

I almost want to stop and ask for

directions but the restaurant looked

empty and there isn't even another car

in sight.

Great, aren't I just lucky?

I sink back in my seat while I drive

ahead to a curve in the road.

As I gaze ahead ready to make the

turn, I cant help but notice lights.

Almost wanted to cry out in relief

when I hear the sound of another car.

I slow doWn a little, but the car keeps

accelerating

What are they doing?

I realize now that the car is driving

unsteadily I try to make a fast attempt to move my car, nOW seeng that I was

so caught up in looking at it, that I was

pretty much in the middle of the road.

But it was too late.

T heard the crash.

I smelt the blood.

But t wasnt irom me.

At least, that's what I think.

I look over to see a girl in the drivers

seat, blood was trickling down her

face.

I try to make an attempt to get to her but when l went to move, a wave

of pain hits me and I instantly look

down at my leg to see it was smooth between part of the car front and the car floor.

Not even a second later, another wave hits me and I feel myself pass out from the pain, my last sight being the mysterious girl in the other car.
