The Secrets We Keep.(5SOS Love/Vampire Fanfic)

Chapter 27 : Stronger

Emmeline P.O.V

"Em"Luke's voice said from the otherside of the bathroom door.

I broke from the hug.I opened the door keeping my eyes on my shoes.

"Hey.....what's up"I said not looking up to his face......trying to act casual.

"Can we talk please"?

"Yeah....ummmm.....sure, Jo can you excuse us"

"Yeah sure"Jo answered leaving the bathroom.

Luke walked in.I shut the door behind him.

"I....I wanted to apologise, what I said, after the kiss.......it was stupid"

"It's fine, I'm over it anyway"

I was lying......it was girly I'll admit it but what Luke said hurt a lot.

"I really do like you but I'm scared that, that it will destroy Michaels feelings"He continued. "I just don't think I can live with it.......I think I might love you but no matter what I do you'll never be mine unless Michael consents to it.......and Michaels not gonna give you up"

"Why dosen't anyone care about my feelings............I don't love him, I.....I love you Luke"

"Don't say that.......you'll only make this more difficult"

"I don't care Luke I like you......and, if you feel the same we shouldn't have to hide it"

"I do.....but we need to keep us a secret Em, please for me.....keep us a secret"

I hated the idea, but I understood why we had to.

"Ok......we'll keep us a secret"

Luke wrapped his arms around me and kissed the top of my head.

I smiled and looked up at him.

"I never thought I'd fall for a vampire"

"We're all full of surprises"Luke finished placing his hands on my cheeks and kissing my lips softly.

It was such an inconvenient time to fall in love.

Love at anytime for me is inconvenient, we had all been through so much, it didn't matter anymore what social class we were, how much money we had or how good we were at fighting, we were all going to have to be better, work together.

I depend on them, I depend on them for help, for shelter for security, I may be a slayer, but, I think I need them, I don't think......I know that I do.

I felt safe, with them, with Luke, I felt a warmth a feeling of peace that I hadn't felt for a long time.

Do I love him ?

I think I do.

And I know that, that is crazy, it's probably foolish, what I am feeling may not even be love.

I don't care if it is or not, whatever it is I feel it towards Luke.

I'm young, I'm supposed to be silly, make mistakes, live my life.

But so far, my life has been nothing but, training, training to defend my life, but what life have I had ?

Most girls my age have felt what it's like to be a teenager, to be a kid.

I had to grow up so fast, sometimes I wish that I could go back.

Maybe I would have felt love, felt what it was like to love someone.

But the reality is, I don't, but I know that there is something there, there is something between us that makes me happy, makes me smile.

So for now I'll say that I am in love, I am in love with him.

I think that this will make us stronger, make me stronger.

I don't know if Luke feels the same, I mean, maybe he's too scared of Michael to admit it, or he just doesn't want to tell me that he feels nothing.

Either way I can say that I am in love, even if I'm lying to myself.

But I know that one day Michael will have to find out, hopefully from us and not someone else.
