I've been making up reasons in my head for over three hours as to why Luke has Destiny's number, but I just can't think of any logical reason as to why Luke would have her number. I'm not going to jump to conclusions and freak out at Luke before I even know for sure if the number really did come from his phone. I know better than to take Brooke's word for it. I need to go find out the truth from Luke because if I don't know soon, i'll go crazy.

I stand up from my couch and walk over to my doorway, slipping my shoes on. I grab my keys and lock the door behind me.

The walk over to Luke's is short. I knock on the door and within seconds the door is opened.

"That was fast." I chuckle.

"I was in the kitchen." Luke explains, the kitchen being close to the doorway.

I nod my head as I step inside.

"I thought you said you were tired and wanted a rain check?" Luke asks.

"I um, I kind of lied. I had to do something. And now I have to talk to you about that something." I tell him.

"Okay." Luke says, dragging on the word.

I walk over to the couch and sit down, Luke sitting beside me.

"May what's going on?" He asks.

"I found something out. But i'm trying this new thing where I don't jump to conclusions and freak out at you before I know the truth. So that's why i'm here." I say.

"Okay you're making me nervous now. What are you on about?"

I take a deep breath before I begin my explanation to him.

"Remember earlier today when I said Brooke didn't say anything important? Well I kind of lied about that." I start.

Luke groans. "May, you can't believe anything that bitch says! You should know that by now!"

"I do know that. Just hear me out, okay?"

He nods his head and I continue.

"This morning, she gave my a piece of paper with a phone number on it. When I asked who's phone number it was, she said she got it from your phone. At first I made nothing of it, because how could Brooke possibly get a hold of your phone. But, my curiosity got the best of me and that's why I made an excuse not to come over. I went home and called the number. Luke, it was Destiny's voicemail."

Luke's eyes widen.

"I know it can't be true though because you told me you haven't spoken to her since that night."

His face pales and he looks down. Why is he reacting like this?

"Wha-is that not true? Have you spoken to her?" I ask, hoping that i'm only jumping to conclusions.

Luke looks up at me, not saying a word.

"Answer me, Luke. Do you have Destiny's number or not?" I ask, getting impatient.

He sighs. "Yes but you have to let me explain!"

Oh god. The one time I decide to trust him one-hundred percent, it turns out to be true.

"You better have a damn good explanation for this." I say, deciding I want to hear it.

Maybe there is actually a logical explanation for all of this. Or maybe I just don't want to believe the truth because i'm so blinded by my love for this boy.

"I didn't have her number at first. Like, I never told her to put her number in my phone. But then a few nights after the party, she texted me and asked why I ran out the way I did. When I asked her how she got my number, she said that I gave it to her at the party while we were all sitting around doing dares. I honestly only remember bits and pieces from that night and I don't remember ever giving her my number. You need to trust me on that. I texted her back and explained that I love my girlfriend and I just made a mistake that night. She told me she understands and I kept her number because...well I don't really have a reason. I don't talk to her, I just never deleted her number." Luke explains.

Why would he keep her number? What was the sense in that?

"I'm trying really hard to trust you right now and believe every word you're saying, but all I keep thinking about is how you changed your phone password. What, is it because you didn't want me to know that you had her number?"

He shakes his head. "No! May, I changed my password because the guys kept going onto my phone and it just got annoying. It had nothing to do with you or Destiny, I swear."

"Why did you lie then? Why did you tell me you haven't spoken to her since that night?" I ask.

"I didn't want you to get mad over nothing. I'll delete her number right now if you want, I honestly have no need for it. Literally we sent a total of like, ten texts. It was nothing, so I didn't want you to freak out over it." Luke tells me.

I guess that does make sense. He knows how I am, and so do I. As much as I hate to admit it, I probably would have freaked out at him. Everything that he said does make sense, and i'm choosing to believe him because I love him and I need to learn how to trust him over other people that do nothing but try to ruin our relationship.

"How did Brooke get the number off your phone then?" I question.

"I have no idea! Ask her! I haven't talked to Brooke since that whole drama fest between all of us." Luke says.

I exhale and look up at him. "I believe you. About all of it, I believe you."

"Wha-really?" He asks.

I raise an eyebrow. "Why? Should I not believe you?" I say, half joking around.

"No, no! You should. I'm glad you do. I just thought that with something like this, you would have gotten mad and walked out, or broken up with me or something." Luke says.

I hate that that is how Luke thinks of me. I hate that that's the way I am. But, I don't want to be, not anymore.

"I don't want to be that way anymore. I'm trying to change, Luke." I give him a small smile.

"Look at us, communicating." Luke laughs.

"Yeah, it's about time." I laugh.

He looks at me as he leans in slowly and plants his lips onto mine. The kiss is gentle, yet enrapturing. Every kiss with Luke is practically intoxicating. The way our lips move together, the way our breathing matches each others. With all my worry vanishing, I lay back and pull him on top of me, wrapping my legs around his waist. He slowly moves his lips down to my neck, his intense warmth radiating off my skin. I tilt my head back slightly, exposing more of my neck to him. I tangle my fingers through his hair, tugging gently. His lips move back to mine and I feel him glide his tongue against my lower lip. I part my lips slightly, letting him in. I feel him smile into this kiss as he moves a piece of my stray hair behind my ear.

Being with Luke right here and right now makes me feel so...alive. I'm done with Brooke trying to sabotage mine and Luke's relationship. I believe my boyfriend and trust him one-hundred percent, and not Brooke or anyone will ever be able to change that.

But, I still want to know how Brooke got ahold of Luke's phone.
