Chapter 46 • "Be mine. Again?"

Luke's POV

The words I've waited to hear for so long just melted me away. I wanted to cry of happiness but I needed to be strong.

"I love you too." I reply. "Does this mean you're giving me another chance?"

"I guess so." She says and our two broken hearts form as one once again. I grab her hand and pull her down the hall to get some clothes from my room. She goes into the bathroom and changes while I wait in the living room area. When I see her appear again I. My clothes I can't help but laugh at how big they are one her.

"Yes I'm small okay." She laughs.

"It's cute." I say walking over to her.

"Be mine. Again?" I whisper in her ear holding her from behind.

"Of course." She says turning around and I press my lips onto hers. The feeling of that was one I could never forget and only hope to keep: for me and no one else.

"Can we go to sleep now?" I ask tired from not much sleep last night or any previous nights before that really.

"Yeah. Goodnight." She says pecking my cheek.

"Where are you going?" I ask her, puzzled.

"To sleep on the sofa." She says.

"Why?"

"Is there another room?" She asks.

"Yeah but it's not very homely. You can sleep in the main bedroom. I'll sleep in there." I say.

Walking back towards me and into the main bedroom I watch her every move. When she is in bed I go to my room for the night after locking up. I leave it about 10 minutes before slowly creeping into where Tilly's is and slip under the duvet putting my arm around her.

Tilly's POV

I feel Luke beside me but don't make a sound and continue falling asleep.

"I'll never let you go again." He says and the back of my head appears to be wet. Was he crying? I couldn't 'wake up' now and so I drifted of to sleep to the sound of his soft cries.

Sun light lit up the room as it creeped through the side of the blinds and shone brightly.

"Morning." Luke came into the room.

"Hey." I say noticing my awful bed hair.

"I made pancakes." He says excitedly.

I pull myself out of bed and go to the toilet prior to heading out into the kitchen to find heart shaped pancakes staked on a plate and drizzled syrup.

"Aw. Aren't you the cutest thing ever." I kiss Luke's nose.

Once we have both finished out pancakes we sit outside for a while talking about the tour. How was I going to cope with Luke being gone?

"What's wrong?" Luke seems to notice my change in mood.

"You're going to be gone for so long." I say in realisation.

"It'll be okay. We can FaceTime everyday."

"And your birthday. You won't be here for it." I say.

"I know." He says sadly.

"We can celebrate the day before right?" I ask.

"Of course. Every second." He says.

I sit back and think about how Luke's going to be living his dream. I wish I could live mine too. I'd love to be a photographer as it's my passion and hobby.
