Taking Care of Her (Luke)

Luke-

"Tahlia?" I ask walking in the door. I have been gone for meetings and recordings month and haven't been home in what seems like forever. I miss Tahlia like crazy and can't wait to see her again but I don't know where she is. I walk upstairs to our room and open the door slightly, "Baby are you in here?" I whisper. I see a lump on the bed and open the door but she doesn't stir. I walk around to her side of the bed and kneel down in front of her. "Tahl, what's wrong? Baby are you okay?" She pulls her legs to her chest and buries her face into her knees. I look over next to her to see her phone. It's full of hate and spam saying hurtful things like "you're ugly" and "you're fat" along with much worse insults. I love our fans, but they are so cruel and I don't understand how they can hate someone who makes me happy.

I sit down on the bed and pull her into my lap. She holds her head in her hands as she cries. We sit there for a while before she seems to have calmed down.

"Come on baby, let's get you cleaned up," I stand her up and lean her weight on me as I help her to the bathroom. I sit her on the edge of the bathtub as I start to fill it with warm water. She rests her elbows on her legs and stares at the floor. I stand her up and help her take her clothes off and get into the tub. She sits down and holds her head in her small hands as I take the shower head and run warm water over her body. I wash her hair and rinse it before helping her stand up and wrap her in a towel. I sit her down and go back into our room pulling out a bra, underwear, leggings, and one of my sweatshirts before helping her back into her clothes. I lift her up onto the counter as I tie her vans. I brush her hair and pull it into a ponytail before taking her hand and leading her out of the house. I help her into the car and buckle her seatbelt before getting in the driver's seat and backing out of the driveway.

I drive until we reach a hidden beach that we found a while back and take her hand leading her down the beach. I sit her down in between my legs and kiss her temple. She stares out at the waves that are crashing softly against the sand.

"Don't believe them Tahl," I murmur into her hair, "You are none of those things. You are beautiful, smart, funny, loving, and I am so happy to have you. You don't need to listen to them just listen to me, I love you Tahlia. I do, and I will forever and always. I have loved you since the day I set eyes on you and I plan to love you until the day I day. And when I die I will keep on loving you from heaven above. Please baby, smile for me. It hurts to see you so sad."

"Thank you Luke. It just is hard sometimes reading all those things but I try not to believe them," she says softly as she smiles faintly. She turns around in my arms and kisses my lips softly before wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder. "I love you too, forever and always."
