Whirlwind - Julie and the Phantoms Season 2

Perfect Harmony Part 2

Luke's POV:

We had gotten home from Bobby's and Julie still seemed a little shaken up from what he had told us about her Mom, but I had the perfect thing to cheer her up. I was going to tell her I found Perfect Harmony. She might be a little mad at first, but when she hears the song I wrote for her hopefully she cheers up! The song practically wrote itself, I mean, everything I feel for Julie just started pouring out the second I started writing. It was 7:55 and I was all set up in her Mom's garden with my acoustic guitar, waiting for her to come out. The garden was beautiful, so I figured it was the best place for my romantic gesture.

A/N: imma sucker for soft luke what can I say ;)

She walks into the garden and I can feel my heart rate pick up. I'm really worried about what she's going to say. I'm a ghost, I couldn't possibly have anything to offer. Come on Luke you can do this. Don't chicken out like last time. You love Julie, and she deserves to know how you feel.

"Hey what did you want to talk to me about?" She asks. Gosh, she looks so gorgeous. The sun had gone down and the only light inside of the garden was the light of the moon. It was shining on her so perfectly, making her beautiful brown hair glow in the moonlight.

"Earth to Luke?" She says, walking towards me and snapping her fingers near my face.

"Yeah, sorry, just lost in my own little world." I say with a small smile. "Here, sit," I add, gesturing to the spot next to me on the bench I was sitting on.

She sits down and looks at me curiously.

"Um, I- um, I have to tell you something," I say, sitting up straighter.

"Okay??" She says giggling. "What's up?"

"Okay, wow here it goes, um, I found that song, Perfect Harmony, in your dream box a couple of days ago." I say.

"Dude! Boundaries! That was a really personal song and I wasn't ready to share it with anyone." She says. 

"I'm sorry. I was looking for lyric ideas and I found the song and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since. That song is amazing and I thought it could've possibly meant that we were maybe... something more?" I say.

She sighs. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" 

"I didn't want to ruin anything." I answer.

"Ruin what?" She says, confused.

"You know, I didn't want to ruin us. We were fine where we were. I guess I just thought that actually admitting that I felt the same way, meant it could possibly be real, and not just something I wanted to happen. I just couldn't hurt you again Jules, you've lost too much." I say, looking into her eyes, studying her facial expression.

"Hurt me? How could you ever hurt me?" She asks, putting her hand over mine.

"I don't want to get close to you, just to have to leave. We've both experienced losing people we love, and it's scary to get attached again. We spend so much time together, and I don't want to think about that ending. You deserve so much better than me, and you deserve so, so much more than someone who could disappear at any second." I say, feeling awful about the fact that me and Julie could never be together.

"Luke." She starts, looking even deeper into my eyes, like she was staring into my soul. "I've lost a lot, and it can be scary to get attached to someone but from what I've learned, you have to cherish all the time you have with someone. I have so many good memories with my Mom, and I'd like to make more with you. I took my Mom's death really hard but from that, I got you guys. And that's something I wouldn't trade for the world." She finishes. By the time she's done talking, our faces are so close that our lips were almost touching.
