"Morning beautiful" Luke rolls over.

"Morning babe" I open my eyes.

"Last night was the best night of my life" he smiles.

"Thanks to your perfect day" I get a mint from the drawer.

"What are you doing?" Luke laughs.

"I'm getting a mint, I would hate for you to kiss me if I had bad morning breath!" I giggle.

"Give me one too" he taps me playfully "let's do this every morning so none of can complain" he suggests.

"Let's" I laugh

"Now that we both have nice breath" Luke leans in leaving a soft kiss on my lips.

"What time do you have to leave?" I ask.

"In like 3 hours" he signs.

"Why don't we have like a 2 hour bath?" I smile like Cheshire Cat.

"I like that idea" Luke smiles.

"You know what I just realised, I need a job" I get in the spa bath.

"Why don't you try youtube?" Luke follows.

"What do you mean?" I shrug.

" I've heard you sing Skylar, and you have a personality that could go a long way" Luke makes a beard out of bubbles.

"You can sing too Luke and you can play guitar" I laugh at him.

In sync we both start singing terribly to the song that was on the radio- you found me by the fray.

We suddenly started to try. And we actually sounded really good together.

"See I told you" Luke laughs

"See I told you" I laugh.

"You know what let's just go busking today! And if we get money let's donate it" Luke screams.

"My guitar is in my car"

"Okay, let's test these vocals" I laugh.

We get out and get dressed, checking out early as we were so excited.

I don't usually like doing anything in front of people but with Luke I feel like I can do anything. Is that too cheesy? Well if it is I don't give a fuck because it's true.

"What songs do you know how to play?" I ask

"How bout she will be loved?" He smiles.

"I love that song" I start to hum.

"How bout, the lazy song?" He asks

"Yes!" I laugh.

"Teenage dirtbag?"

"Yes, I guess we can only try" I laugh again. "Should I text the boys to come watch?"

"Yeah, I guess"

After I text the boys Luke and I set up in the middle of the city. I don't get how so many people fit into the same place at once. Luke got his guitar and we sit near a fountain.

"You ready?" He takes a deep breath.

"As ready as I will ever be" I repeat his deep breath. Luke starts to play.

She will be loved is the song we were singing, a crowd started to build and my adrenalin was raging as I started to sing more louder and stronger. What can I say, I was enjoying my self way to much to be nervous anymore. More and more people surrounded us, they where throwing money in Luke's guitar case. When We finished the first song Luke spoke up about how this money will go towards the foster care centre. As we both having to go through our teen years without parents we thought it would be a good idea.

After Luke said that people were going crazy with their money. $50 notes were being thrown in. This made me have hope in the world, people do still care.

When the boys showed up, and Jess  so do more people with their phones out. Luke and I started to play another song. 'Teenage Dirtbag' was a song that I used blare up in my bedroom alone and got picked on by my sisters for it because it wasn't popular then, but to me it was.

To me music doesn't have to be a hot hit for you to like it, if your ears like what they hear eventually you heart will love the song to, and when your head comes into play and gives you a memory that you think of when you hear it. Music is what emotions sound like, that's a quote I learnt in school, it's the only quote I remember from anything.

The crowd applauded. We see news crews show up after we play a few more songs, I look at Luke to see his shocked but excited face stare back at mine, which had the same expression. 

After about a hour we had no more songs we got play.

"Thank you everyone!" I say as Luke and I wave.

"Excuse me do you mind if we take to you for a few seconds?" A male news reported comes up to us.

"Sure" I nod.

I look down to see that it's channel 7 news. It's the news my family watch. Not to be rude but this is going to be great to rub in there faces.

The news reporter just asks a few questions and then thank us for supporting the local community.

"This won't be that last of us" Luke says last.
*****

"That was so good you guys" Michael pats us on our backs.

"It's so good to be back home" I say.

"Let's count the money" Luke sits beside me on the couch.

After about 10 minutes we finished counting.

"Holy shit, $3658" I scream.

"The foster care centre will love this"

"I feel so good right now" Luke smiles before planting a kiss on my lips.

"Me to" I squeak.

"I want to thank you Luke, for everything. For being here for me, for taking me yesterday, for making a good day everyday. I am looking forward to waking up beside you everyday for the rest of my life, I just love you so fucking much, I love you more than pizza" I kiss him.

"And I Skylar want to thank you for supporting all my actions, for always being the one who makes me smile, for holding me when I need to be held, for being Skylar Grey, because without you, I don't think i would be here, I love you so fucking much, it hurts when I am just a second away from you. I need you now and for the rest of my life" he tries not to cry.

"You guys are so fucking adorable" Jess walks in.

"Ah thank you" I laugh.

"Sorry for ruining the moment" she apologises.

"It's okay, you didn't" Luke laughs at her.

"Guys!" Ashton's runs in crying.

"What!" I get up.

"Emily just rang me, and she told me everything! Why didn't you say anything Luke! You knew this whole time that she left with reason! It's okay I understand though, you did it for me. She's coming back" he takes a deep breath.

"Are you sure you wanna do this Ash?" I ask.

"I still love her Skylar" he signs.

"I'm am so confused" Jess laughs.

"I'll explain later" I say.

"What else did she say?" Luke now stands beside me.

"That she still loved me too" Ashton wipes his tears.
