Liana listened to Luke quietly, staring ahead at her friend as she walked. “I love you, too,” she told him quietly, “More than anything. I’ll stay in contact and I’ll see you in class and in detention, so just… Don’t worry too much, okay?” She smiled weakly, hating the thought that Luke was being dragged into the mess. “I love you,” she repeated before hanging up. Slipping her phone into her pocket, she picked up her pace to catch up with Melody. “Mel, hey,” she greeted, forcing a cheerful tone as she offered a small grin, trying to appear as normal and carefree as possible. “How’d parent-teacher conference go?”
Michael blinked with Melody’s words, though he shook his head quickly. “Baby, you’re not putting me through anything,” he assured her, “This is a problem we’re facing together. Fuck, I’d walk through Hell and back for you, sweetheart, because you’re worth it. You’re worth everything - this, the love we have for each other, it’s worth fighting for, you’re worth fighting for.” He smiled slightly, hoping to assure her, wanting to make sure she’d be okay, even if he was anxious about what what could happen at lunch. Still, he didn’t want Melody to worry anymore about that. “Keep in contact. I love you, too.” But, when she hung up, he sighed and rubbed at his face before he grabbed his things to head inside.
