Sink Or Swim {Lewis Watson} // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVbsh6LHF2U
The Chinese food was great. Watching movies with Luke was great. Cuddling was great. The pressure of feeling like I disappointed Luke was not.
Maybe it was my emotions getting the best of me, or maybe I just didn't want to accept that anyone like Luke Hemmings likes me. Whatever it is, I really didn't like it.
"Tina, is something wrong?" Luke asked me and looked down at me. I kept my eyes fixed on the TV in front of me and nodded. Luke wrapped his arms tighter around my waist and kissed my head. "Baby", he whined.
"I'm fine Luke", I giggled and he laughed into my hair.
"No, you're not", I sat up and turned around to look at him. He was grabbing my hands and rubbing circles around them with his thumb. He exhaled deeply and leaned in to kiss me. I kissed him back and put my hands on his cheeks to stabilize myself.
He pulled me onto his lap and I curled up into his arms. We had locked lips and the kisses were brief. I pulled away and looked at him. He was smiling and the curls around his temples and neck brought a grin to my face. I curled my fingers into his hair and his fingers traced lines around my spine.
"The albums almost done", he mused. "I wrote you a song". My eyes widened a bit and I smiled. He bit his lip where his ring was while smiling and I hid my head in the crook of his neck.
"What's it called?" I mumbled and he giggled from my breath breathing against his neck.
"I'm not telling you", I pulled back and pouted. He chuckled at my face and pecked my nose. "It's gonna be the first single we release in about...a month".
"A month?!" I lied down on the bed and hid my face. Luke put his hands on my knee and rubbed it up to my mid thigh.
"It's not that long, and when the album is done we can go back to Sydney", he reminded me and I sat up to look at him. I smiled and asked, "is Taylor coming? And the boys? And Hannah and Emma? If not then we're staying here", he chuckled and I frowned suddenly. "And Stiles..." I trailed off.
He looked down and twitched his nose. "He left, just the other day", he mumbled and I nodded. i knew he was going to eventually. L.A. just wasn't the place for him. It wasn't the place for me either. I never went out in fear that I'll get lost so I always stayed home and went on the internet.
I smiled though when Luke started to trace little hearts on my thigh. For a few minutes we sat in a comfortable silence until I felt a vibration from my phone. I grabbed it and saw a notification from Luke's twitter.
@Luke5sos:
twitter.com/pic I couldn't ask for anything more amazing than this girl. Plus you guys <3
It was a picture of me smiling down at the blankets of the bed. You could slightly see Lukes hand on my thigh, positioned like he would be playing a piano. That's maybe what we were. Just music. He was the alto, I was the soprano, we played together to form a beautiful melody. I looked at the boy in front of me. He was smiling and his eyes were all crinkled and I realized that I was in love with Lucas Robert Hemmings.

I woke up to grunting. I sat up and in the dark I saw Luke standing and pulling at his hair in the corner. He was looking down up at the window and I could see slight glistening on his cheeks, indicating he was crying.
"Luke?" I whispered and grabbed my phone to check the time. When I turned it on, I saw tons of notifications from Stiles and my friends back home. One was from twitter, connected to People Magazine.
@peoplemagazine: @luke5sos cheating on his new alleged girlfriend @tinabeasavage ?! twitter.com/pic
I was shaking and I swiped to open the message. It was a picture of Luke, with his arm around a girl, with brown hair and glasses. His head was put up to her temple like he was kissing her and it was inside his studio with the boys.
I looked up and Luke was staring at me pleadingly. I shook and choked back sobs. I cleared my throat and got up, not being able to walk, but wobble. "What hotel is Stiles staying at?" I asked before realizing that he was already back in Sydney.
"Tina, please, don't", he begged and his voice cracked. "It's not what it seems please, it was just a fan she was visiting and I was just sharing a joke with her and I just-", I picked up my phone, dialing Ashton's number for Luke's sake.
"I knew you'd be calling", Ashton said almost groggily. "Want me and Emma to come get you?"
I choked down a sob and answered, "yes". My voice was weak and I turned to see Luke sitting on the edge of the bed, with his head in his hands. Ashton hung up and I grabbed my small backpack, gathering a couple days worth of clothes.
I walked over to Luke and kneeled in front of him. I moved his hands from his face and looked at him. His eyes were red and his hands were almost shaking. I held his cheeks and kissed him softly. "I love you", I choked out and stood up, but Luke held onto my hand and pulled me towards him, so his face was on my stomach.
"God I love you more, Tina", he said and I let the tears fall down my cheek one by one before stepping out of the room and headed downstairs to wait for Ashton.
