"I wish the world was just you and me." (Chp. 11)

I listened.

To her singing.

I heard Amber's voice and I finally got it. She was breaking, because of me. She was hurting, because of me. She was suffering, and it's all because of...oh, let me see here...ding, ding, ding! Lucas Friar...AKA me.

I groaned, walking into the hotel room. She was still singing. Amber hadn't noticed me, and she had ears like a panther and eyes like a hawk.

Amber:(Singing and playing above! Singing is the one with the dress!)
Ooh, oh
Mmmmmm
This might be wrong, but he's all I know, he's all I know
Most times I pretend, he's just a friend, he's just a friend
Yeah, I'll try to make our hearts beat in time
Even though your rhythm might not be with mine

But darling I'm a mess without your love
Heaven knows I'm trying, trying to get by
But darling I'm a mess without your love
All I need is one more goodbye kiss

Your lips I miss, 'cause they're all I know, I can't let you go
And I won't forget, all that you said is engraved in my head
Yeah, I'll try to make our hearts beat in time
Even though your rhythm might not be with mine

But darling I'm a mess without your love
Heaven knows I'm trying, tying to get by
But darling I'm a mess without your love
All I need is one more goodbye kiss

No oh, a goodbye kiss
Ooooh oh ooh oh oh ooh
Yeah I'll try to make our hearts beat in time
Even though your rhythm might not be with mine

But darling I'm a mess without your love
Heaven knows I'm trying, trying to get by
But darling I'm a mess without your love
All I need is one more goodbye kiss

After I had finished singing, I sighed.

"Can't believe I'm still not over him." I mumbled, low enough for only myself to here.

Suddenly, I was turned around and felt the familiar sensation of soft lips on mine.

Lucas freaking Friar.

He pulled away.

"Fri–Lucas, what in the name of potatoes are you doing?" I asked, griping my ukelele tighter.

"You said you needed one more goodbye kiss." Lucas grinned widely. "So I gave it to you."

"Lucas, I..." My eyes filled with tears. "I can't."

"You can't what?" Lucas asked, voice enlaced with worry and concern.

"I can't see you without slowly dying, I can't be around you knowing that we're not together anymore." I punched his chest as hard as I could. "I can't kiss you, or feel your arms around me. I can't anymore, Lucas." A tear feel down my cheek. "I can't do any of it without knowing that you're Maya's, that you are not mine anymore."

"Who told you I was Maya's?" Lucas asked.

"I just assumed that you were with her." I sniffled, refusing to look into the green eyes I missed so much.

"Precious jewel." Lucas said.

"What?" I asked.

"That's what your name means." Lucas continued. "That's what you are to me. You're a precious jewel."

"But I can't be," I shook my head, "at least not anymore."

"And why not?" He asked, trying to meet my gaze.
