You Promised (A Luke Hemmings FanFic)

"Time Passes Quickly"

Luke’s POV

I think I’ve been bathing for 30 minutes, or an hour.

I don’t know.

Time passes quickly when I’m just laying in the tub.

I forgot to bring my phone into the bathroom, so I just laid there reading the back of body wash and shampoo bottles.

Luckily, Cassidy started playing music in the other bathroom.

The songs buzzed through the walls, drowning the sound of her running water.

The water eventually stopped, and the music quieted down.

It's funny how we met on the telephone

You and I on the edge of the unknown

Oh, in only a moment's time

I knew my heart was yours and yours was mine

 

When I saw you waiting at your place

Something felt familiar in your face

Oh, you smiled as if to say

I knew my heart was yours from the first day

She left her room with the songs trailing after her footsteps.

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still

 

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

My legs feel like jello when I stand up to unplug the tubs drain, creating a water tornado of bubbles.

I slip out of the blue water and hop into the shower, the bath oils slowly washing away.

I scrub my hair, hoping to get out any bird poop that could’ve landed on my head.

I think we might be outlaws.

I think I might be in love.

'Cause I'm all out of reasons,

like seasons,

Winter, summer, fall

they're all washed up.

If you're still way over there,

maybe slide on in by my side,

'Cause I'm just an outlaw,

wanted if you want me.

I love you everyday and every night.

I step out of the shower, wrapping myself in a soft white towel.

The mirror was misted around the post-it Cassidy left me this morning, I had forgotten to take it off.

I dry myself off and pull my clothes on, plucking the post-it, I watched it fall into the trashcan beside the toilet.

My mind's wide open like starry skies

I ask God questions and wonder why

The hell that you're not here

I wanna disappear with you now

 

Remember when I didn't need you

Well I need you now

To hold my head up high say it's all better child

Remember when I was alone and crying out

You will be missed

But I know you're all better now

I hung the towel on it’s hook and step out of the steamy room, feeling the heat from my skin ease off.

I can be tough, I can be strong

But with you, it's not like that at all

There's a girl that gives a shit

Behind this wall you just walk through it

 

And I remember

 

All those crazy things you said

You left them running through my head

You're always there, you're everywhere

Right now I wish you were here

 

All those crazy things we did

Didn't think about it, just went with it

You're always there, you're everywhere

But right now I wish you were here
