We drove in silence for awhile, although it wasn't awkward. It was perfect, he reached over and turned the radio on flipping to 104.7. I knew the song right away and quietly I sang the lyrics.

"Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain" I sang quiet enough that only I could hear.

The chorus came and I opened my mouth to sing along when Luke turned the volume down. He looked at me smiling, "I didn't know you sing" He whispered.

"I-Uhm-I" Mentally face palming myself. "I guess it's a secret between us"

"I guess so. I sing too, but One Direction! You like them?" He nearly yells, I nod and smile. "I thought you liked Blink-182 and like Fall Out Boy or some shit like that" He says with a chuckle.

"Uhm, because I wear black does not mean that I can't like bands like One Direction" I say the next part in a whisper "I heard you singing 'Through The Dark' to me that one day" He turns a shade of red and turns into the Pizza Hut parking lot.

"It was nothing" He says quickly, pulling into an empty space and shutting the car off. "Let's go" He mumbles.

I frown, and hesitantly open the door. Following him into the Pizza shop. "Pepperoni please" I tell the cashier, handing him my $10. Luke puts his hand out and grabs his wallet pulling money out and slapping it on the counter "Let me pay for my food Luke"

"No" He states and turns to go sit down.

"What's wrong" I ask, sliding into the booth. He won't look me in the eyes, so I grab his chin "Look at me, now tell me. What's wrong"

"I'm a guy, and I listen to One Direction. I'm suppose to hate them" He says laughing, this causes me to roll my eyes.

"If you like them oh well. You can like who you want" I shake my head and laugh lightly to myself. Our pizza slices arrive on our table 10 minuets later and we eat the slices fairly fast. "So what are we going to do after this?" I ask him.

He doesn't reply right away, "Lets go to the mall" He smiles and I look down at my plate, playing with the crust of my pizza. "You don't like the mall?"

"No, no, no I love the mall. I just-I don't like being crowded" I whisper, I can feel my fingers start shaking and my breathes becoming faster. This always happens, I think of scenarios in my head, and I get an anxiety attack. "I need air" I stand and rush out the doors.

"Breathe in..breathe out" I mumble to myself, leaning against the building. The door rings and Luke strides out rushing to me.

"Are you okay" He grabs my wrist and looks at me.

"Anxiety" I whisper and shake my head. I'm shaking badly now, and I can't stop. The people walking past us stare at me. Why do they have to stare at me? "Make them stop staring".

I point to the two guys who are laughing at me. "Do you two have better shit to do? Fuck off" Luke yells at them, they look at each other and run off. "They are gone, come on" He grabs my hand and leads me to the car.

"I want to go home" I whimper and look out the window, trying to feel the. coldness of the window.

He doesn't reply but takes the familiar route to my apartment complex. He pulls up to the gate and I give him the code, he types it in and we wait a couple seconds before driving into the parking lot. "Here we are"

I unbuckle my seat belt and take a deep breathe before pushing open the door and grabbing my bag. "Thanks" I mumble "For helping me and taking me out for pizza" I smile and walk away, taking the stairs to my apartment.

I throw my stuff onto my bed and sit on the floor, my back to my black covers. My phone vibrates in my hand and the screen flashes Luke H. I smile and slide the screen to read the text.

I had fun, hope you did too. xo.

I can't help but smile and click reply.

I had a lot of fun. Sorry I'm such a freak, I promise I won't have an anxiety attack again lol

Almost immediately he replies.

You are not a freak. I promise you that I will be there next time you have another one. Let's hang out on Sunday (:

I smile and and send back a text, agreeing to the day and I shut my phone off, my head rests against my bed and I just keep smiling.

I rarely smile. Let alone smile over a guy.
