The Way I Love You

ARCHER

Collapse into me just once, and I promise I'll never have to fall again.~

ARCHER'S POV:

"Wassup man!" I went over to Luke.

"Nothing much, let's go play." He said.

Both of us went to the pitch and joined the seniors who were already playing football.

"Archer! Bro!" One of the guys came over to me as we entered the pitch.

All of these were quite known people, as we regularly play with them.

"Luke, how are you?" asked the same guy.

"How about you ask Claire about that?" I replied.

I could feel Luke's gaze over me.

I just want to fudging know, if he likes her or not. I just need to find the right time to ask. But instead, I just decided to be an asshole and tell it out to people.

And now almost everyone knows. So now Claire is quite well known among us.

Why am I digging my own grave?

"Damn, you found a girlfriend?" Said the other guy teasingly.

"No bro, she's just my friend, nothing much," Luke replied.

"Just friends or......." I added.

"For god's sake shut up Archer." He said bitterly.

I decided to ignore him.

"Yeah, you don't know how lovey dovey-ly they talk," I said further.

"OoOoOOOooo" All of them went like that.

"SHUT UP!" He got pissed and walked away.

"What are you going to Claire?" I asked.

He walked off really fast, that he was on the opposite side of the ground.

The others did not hear this conversation as they had gone to split the teams.

He heard me and fiercely crossed the road and walked towards me, his hands over my neck and his eyes filled with anger.

"WHAT THE FUXK IS YOUR PROBLEM!" He said in a loud voice.

"Get. Off. me." I said with a low voice, removing his hands over my neck.

And he punched me in my face.

"Seriously, heh" I gave out a laugh and looked up at him.

"There's no use fighting bro," I said calmly, raising my eyebrows.

"Oh, then why don't you shut your mouth!" He yelled and again held me by my neck pushing me. I held him through his shirt.

"Well then WHY DON'T YOU TELL  IF YOU LIKE CLAIRE OR NOT?" The words finally came out of my mouth.

"I DO, OKAY, I DO. HAPPY?" He said.

I slowly let go of him through his shirt. I don't know what to do. I needed the answer and I got it.

"Luke! Archer! What the hell are you both doing in the middle of the road?" We looked around and didn't realize that in all these we were literally standing in the middle of the road.

I punched the wall ahead of me as we made our way to the ground. I felt so empty inside. It's like everything that you ever had is all gone at once. And the only one thing which you value is also lost now.

Luke and I obviously did not talk. I was silent the whole time.

"Archer, what's wrong with you today? Why are you missing all the shots and passes?" Jake asked—one of the guys from there.
