²⁴ Second chance

Second chance

Tomorrow, meet me after school by my car.

The paper Luke placed inside Bella's pocket said. She read the sentence over and over, trying to contain her excitement:

After the afterglow, Bella was so in love all over again. Not only did Luke sing an entire song to her in front of everyone in their school, but he also made it very clear that he was sorry.

The thing about Luke - which is something Bella figured out by now - is that he can explain his feelings through music better, it's basically his love language.

He can show his emotions through writing lyrics then singing them, whether was it to show how sorry he is or how deeply in love he is.

Bella saw that, because not only did he record four songs for her, that he wrote while he was hurting, but he also did an entire show to apologize to her through, and it was magical, to say the least.

Everything was thoughtful, the balloons that matched her eye color, the sky that looked like the most beautiful painting ever, his voice, his words, the way he looked at her.

Who even apologizes like this? This is the kind of apology you know it's coming from the bottom of someone's heart, Bella knew that.

And he wants to meet her after school too, what else is he planning?

" lover of mine " Luke heard the soft voice he had missed. He didn't know where it was coming from, until he closed his locker and saw Bella standing in front of the locker next to his.

" huh? " he frowned in confusion. He was honestly just amazed by how beautiful Bella looked. She had her short hair in a small ponytail, even though her hair was falling from the tie.

" lover of mine, " Bella repeated. " it's my favorite, " she shrugged with a small smile. " you wanted to know if I have a favorite song, that is mine "

" oh, I'm glad you like it, " Luke nervously smiled. She likes my song?? " it's my favorite too "

" good for you " Bella nodded, then turned around and went to her class.

Yeah, about that... Bella was in deed very touched by Luke's heart warming songs, but what she has been through was a little to much for her to get over and forget because of a few songs.

She knows how sorry Luke is and how bad he wants her back, she can see that, but she thought she'll wait until she finds out what he wants from her after school to decide whether she forgives him or not.

Yes, she's about seventy percent ready to forgive him but she's holding onto those thirty percent to see how far he's actually willing to go.

By the end of the school day, Bella finally was able to let out the breath she was holding all day and to shake the thoughts of what Luke was possibly planning, because she was walking towards his car in the parking lot.

He looked.. cute, even though Bella didn't want to admit it, but he did. He wore an oversized shirt, his usual worn out skinny jeans and a snap back. He leaned his back on the passenger door of his expensive car while he waited for Bella, as he distracted himself with his phone.

Bella shook the smile off her face and stood in front of him, short and curious. Luke noticed the blue eyes staring at his soul and tucked his phone in his pocket. " hey "

" what are you planning? " Bella raised an eyebrow. " hi, by the way " her cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. She might've been too excited.

" a surprise " Luke opened the passenger door for Bella. His hand grabbed her backpack before she got in the passenger seat, then he closed the door.
