I woke up feeling really cold. I turned over on the bed and saw Luke sleeping peacefully next to me. He was so beautiful. I can't believe we actually slept together.

The doorbell distracted me from my thoughts. Luke didn't hear it, so I decided to get it as I didn't want to wake him up. I wasn't wearing anything, so I grabbed one of Luke's shirts which was thrown over the chair. It fitted me like a dress. I put my hair up in a messy bun and went downstairs to open the door. Guess who it was.

"Mom?" I asked nervous but annoyed.

"Hayley! Oh my god! I was worried sick! What are you doing here? Why did you ran away?"

"Ah mum, why are you being so annoying. I just wanted to have fun. I'm tired of you treating me like a little kid anymore."

"But Hayley, you're ill and it's very serious. I'm just watching out for you. I'm your mother."

"Mum, I can take care of myself. I don't need you."

She sighed and continued on.

"And would you please tell me what were you doing here?" she said while looking me from my head to my toes.

"Uhh...nothing" I said a little embarassed.

She sighed again while shaking her head.

"Get your stuff, we're leaving. I have some news for you."

"What news?"

"I'll tell you at home"

I walked upstairs to Luke's room. He's still asleep. I got dressed into my own clothes and went to the bathroom to do my hair. When I came back to the room I tried to find an empty paper and a pen.

Had fun last night ;)

I had to go home but I'll see you later

Love you

Hayley xxx

I left the note on his nightstand, grabbed my stuff and left the house. My mum was waiting for me in the car, so I entered it.

We didn't talk during the car ride. I was looking through the window and smiling to myself while thinking about Luke last night. He was just so...hot.

"What are you smiling about?" my mum said.

"What? Oh, nothing"

"Oh c'mon Hayley! What happened last night?"

"Mum, it's nothing"

"Hayley, I know it's something"

"Uh fine! Um...Luke and I slept together"

"You did what?! I thought you were only friends. I told you he was a bad influence on you."

"Mum! How can sleeping with someone be a bad influence?!"

"Did you use protection?" she sighed after a while

"Mum, for god's sake!"

"Did you?!"

"Yes, mum, yes, we did." I sigh

"Good."

I don't feel comfortable talking with her about these kinds of stuff so I was blushing like crazy. And again, she's being overprotective.

When we arrived I remembered that she told me she has some news for me. I wonder what they are. I hope some good ones.

"And...what are the news?"

"Oh right...I called your father and we both agreed that you stay in L.A. for some time while you improve your behavior. You leave in 3 days."

"Improve my behavior?! What the fuck?!"

"Don't swear!" she warned

"Mum! You can't send me there!"

"Yes, I can and I will. Hayley, you've been acting unnormal lately. Drinking alcohol, sneaking out of the house to go to a boy's house, swearing...that isn't like you"

"Oh, so you're gonna send me to another country because of swearing? And what? Maybe I've changed. Stop acting like you care. You just wanna get rid of me."

"Hayley! That is not a way to talk to your mother!"

"And that is not a way to treat your daughter! You're the worst mother ever! I hate you!" I said while crying and ran upstairs to my room.

I didn't even bother to see her face expression when I called her the worst mother ever, but I don't care. How could she do this to me? I don't wanna go back to my dad. I hate him.

My mum and dad got divorced when I was 6 years old. They were always fighting. He moved to L.A. and left me and my mum here alone. They only talk over phone and get on okay.

Sending me to L.A. means that I will have to leave Luke. I can't live without him, he's my everything. I have 3 more days left with him. Who knows how long will I stay there. Who knows how much do I have left. I don't know how will I tell him. He'll probably freak out and won't let me go. I wish he could go at least with me.

I was thinking about should I tell him or not, but I decided to tell him so we could spend as much time as possible together. I decided to call him over. I don't even care what will my mum say. I took my phone and called him.

"Hello" he answered.

"Hey Luke, mind coming over?"

"Not at all. You okay?"

"Yeah, just come"

"Okay, be there soon"

"Oh and by the way come on the balcony, not the front door" I didn't want any drama.

"Alright"

After a while he finally came. I went to open the balcony door and immediately hugged him.

"Hey, what's wrong Angel?" he said while caressing my hair.

"Come on in" I pulled him in the room.

He sat on the bed and leaned on the headboard.

I sat next to him and put my head on his chest. He put his arm protectively around me.

"My mum said I have to move to L.A. for a while."

"What? Why?"

"Because of my "bad behavior""

"What the hell? When are you leaving?"

"In 3 days. Who knows how long will I stay there."

"No, you can't go. I won't let you go." he said and tighten his arms around me.

"I don't even want to go. But I want us to spend these 3 days together. I'll miss you so much."

"I'll miss you too"

We both stood quiet and cuddled on the bed.

"What are we now?" he said after a while.

"What?"

"Are we like in a relationship or we're still friends?" he said nervously biting his lip

"What do you want us to be?" I smiled up to him.

"I want you to be my beautiful girlfriend, so I could kiss you every single day and take care of you."

"You already take care of me." I said laughing a bit.

"So, what do you say?"

There wasn't much thinking about that. But it was weird, you know? Out of all people, Luke Hemmings, my best friend since we were kids asked me to be his girlfriend. I remember when I had a crush on him before he moved to Australia. We were 7. I was planning to tell him but then I found out that he's moving. Then I decided to write him a letter about how I like him. I was planning to put that in his backpack. But he never got it because I didn't have the courage to give it to him. And then 12 years later he came back to America. I was already dating Dan so I didn't have any feelings for Luke. But ever since he sat beside me on my bed saying love, I couldn't stop thinking about him. I wasn't sure how I feel about him. But now I do. I love him.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend" I smiled and kissed him gently.
