Luka's pov

One year later

"Luka dude get your ass up!"

I groaned in response as Caleb tried to get me out of bed for the umpteenth time today.

I grabbed a pillow and chucked it in his direction, successfully hitting him square in the face. A small smile took over my lips as I saw him huff in annoyance.

"Come on man. I'm taking you out of town to have some fun. You need it" He complained, and I knew damn well that he'd be back if I didn't oblige.

Sighing, I gave into his plea and reluctantly got out of bed. He gave me a victorious smile and I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes at his childish behaviour.

Over the past year, he has really been there for me. He kept me out of my darkest places as much as he could and I couldn't help but be grateful. However, that didn't stop the darkness when he was gone though.

It has been hard, harder than I thought it would be. Every time I was in me and Ella's room, I would feel emptier than usual. Her scent was everywhere and I couldn't stand it. I moved out of our room only three weeks after her funeral. It became too hard for me to even sleep and that affected everything.

My mom and little sister, Emma, tried to get me to move on way too quickly. I snapped at them one day and they have been staying away since then, only checking in with me to see if I'm still alive, I assume.

I was never the man that acted tough and emotionless. We all have feelings and nobody ever judged me for being sad. They became distant though, they wanted the old me back too fast and I just couldn't do that for them yet.

I don't even think I could do it for myself, ever.

My dad only sends Caleb to do his dirty work for him since he's the only one who can get through to me in some sense. That was because he understood and didn't push me to do things I didn't want to do. He was here to help me heal, not force me to act like nothing happened and be 'their Luka' again.

Maybe I was being selfish, but the break of a mate bond does a lot to you.

I made my way out to the living room after throwing on a white tee shirt and some jeans, not even bothering to fix my messy dark hair.
