Chapter 34- I Love You So

A/N: Omg. So, uh, hey. It's been what, three months? I just want to say first off, thank you all so much for 2k reads, and thank you for being patient with me not updating! School has been beyond stressful and I still have about 20 missing assignments lmao, but I really thought I should update today.

I don't know if you heard, but Julie and the Phantoms has been officially canceled. It makes me really sad, but I'm honestly just glad it exists because it was one of my only sources of happiness for a really long time lol. I'm happy I got the chance to watch it and love it and I hope you are too! Thank you for reading this stupid fucking story too. So let's finish it shall we? 

****

I was dreading this conversation, but I knew we would have to have it sooner than later. I sucked in my breath and said the three words.

"What are we?"

"What do you mean?"

I sat up and turned to him. "What are we?"

He laughed. "You didn't answer my question"

"You didn't answer mine.", I said. "Are we like, together?"

"Do you want to be together?"

I scoffed laid back down. "Why are you making this so fucking hard."

He laughed. "Well, I really like you, and you really like me, right? So..."

"So what?"

"Now you're the one making this hard.", he said. "Here." He stood up and got down on one knee.

"Dahlia, you never told me what your middle name is Molina, will you be my girlfriend?"

I laughed. "Of course dumbass." He stood back up, leaned down, and kissed me, a feeling that was still foreign to me.

"I'm really happy you found that CD", he whispered.

It was then I realized that Luke was the only guy I hadn't second guessed starting something with.

"You can't even tell it's there. It's that easy."

I violently blended more concealer into my neck while wondering how the fuck the girl in this video did it so quickly.

'It's that easy' my ass.

Luke and I had gotten a little carried away last night, and I didn't even think about how hard it would be to cover up.

I sighed in defeat. I really wasn't trying to show up to school and have all of my friends question me. That, and, well I hadn't exactly told anyone about the whole situation. Not even Flynn.

I liked spending time with Luke without anyone bothering me with questions. Well, that isn't completely true. Alex still asked questions. A lot.

It wasn't like I was trying to keep it a secret, though. I figured I would tell them when the time came. But, I really wasn't planning on doing that today.

Suddenly, I saw Alex's reflection in the mirror. I immediately threw the beauty blender down and pretended like I wasn't doing anything.

But, as usual, Alex noticed everything. His eyes widened once he saw the marks on my neck. "Is that what I think it is? Ooh, scandalous", he said smirking.

Shit, I didn't think it was that obvious.

"Do you have to make a comment on every little thing?", I huffed.
