Blake came for a beating

Luke

When I woke up the next day, the first thing that came to my mind was to check my phone, and see if Valerie had returned my calls or texts. Disappointed, I stared blankly at the empty screen of my phone, and my heart grew heavy.  Has she really discarded me? 

Just because I didn't agree to be friends with Blake? Could it really be the reason? Or was she just tired of me? 

I asked myself these questions as I lay in my bed. My heart refused to accept the speculations, but my mind was more convinced.

She had her chance to reply to my calls after she got down from her flight, but she had called Lydia instead. And it was because of no other person than Blake. 

He must mean so much to her to get her worried to the point that she had to call her assistant to ask after him instead of me. I couldn't believe she chose to ask after him because he hadn't been returning her calls, instead I, who had called her repeatedly.
