Growing up together

Grand Ole Oprey

Amber's POV
I was looking in the mirror, trying to get ready for tonight. We had a babysitter for the twins. Luke walked in and he looked really nervous. "Luke, it's gonna be okay! Just do what you would do at a small bar." I said trying to calm him down. "What if I mess up? What if I don't sing good? What would happen if the crowd hated me?" He said. I just laughed and grabbed his hand. "Luke... You'll be fine. Just do what everyone does. Imagine that they are in their underwear!" I said. He slowly looked over at me. He smirked and raised his eyebrows. "Okay, I'm imagining." Luke said. I laughed and rolled my eyes.
He opened the door to his truck and helped me in. He was always a gentleman. Never rude and never mean, unless he had to fight. Then he can be mean. He was talking the whole way there and biting his nails. We got there early for the VIP. Girls crowded around him holding up papers for him to sign. He loved having fans and he didn't mind when they asked for autographs. I sat down and watched him preform from the side of the stage. He had so much fun! He jumped around, threw stuff to fans, and even pulled a little girl up. She sang songs with him and danced with him. He signed her hat and carried her back to her mama. She looked so happy. He kept on glancing over at me. I didn't know what he was up to but I knew it probably wasn't good. He kept dancing around and shaking those hips. I just shook my head and laughed because it reminded me of when he taught me to dance.
I kept looking at his cheek where he had a scar. It healed up pretty fast, but he refused to go to the doctor. He hated needles and I wasn't a big fan of them either.
He glanced over at me again and pointed behind me. My daddy walked out and hugged me. It's been forever since I have seen him! Then Luke's mom and dad walk out. He runs over there and pulls his mama on stage while he was still singing. He did some weird dance move and pointed at her to do the same thing. She just laughed and the crowd went wild! Luke eventually had to end it and he signed some more autographs and took pictures with people. He made so many fans that night! It was crazy! Luke's mom, dad, and my dad stayed the night with us and played with their grandchildren. Luke was so wore out that he went straight to bed.
The next morning I was trying to wake him up and he wouldn't get up for anything! "I'll make waffles." I said. He just groaned. Something isn't right. He never groans to waffles! "Luke, are you okay?" I asked. He slowly turned over and gritted his teeth. "I'm so sore....." He said slowly. He danced too much last night. I laughed and said, "I'll bring some food to you. What do you want?" I asked. He looked at me with those puppy eyes and poked out his lip. "Waffles it is then." I said while laughing. My dad and Luke's parents were still asleep and so were the twins. I quietly made them and brought them back upstairs to Luke. He looked so sick. "I'll stay home today and tell the school I'm sick. I don't want you here all alone later while you are sick." I said. I felt his head and it was so warm. "Luke you're so hot!" I said. He smirked and said, "Oh I know." I laughed. He can still have a sense of humor and be sick as a dog. He rolled back over and didn't even finish his waffles.
Luke's POV
I didn't want Amber to go to school today because I didn't wanna be alone all day, so I faked being sick. Before Amber got up I rubbed my head rapidly so the friction would warm it up. Even though I was really sore I still exaggerated it.
Amber said today was the schools free day so it didn't matter if they went or not. She brought me waffles and I are half of them. When she walked out of the room I ate the rest really fast and put the plate on the ground so that it would look like the dog ate them.
She came back with some medicine for my sore muscles. I took it and it tasted terrible. I made a weird face while I was trying to swallow it. She started laughing and tried to hold her laugh until I swallowed it. Then I drank my water and she burst out laughing because of my face. Her laugh was contagious and it made me laugh. I accidentally spit my water all over her.
Her face was priceless! She started laughing again and I was laughing too. It hurt so much to laugh but I still did.
I got up really fast which made me wanna cry and I got her a napkin. She crossed her arms and looked at me. "Luke. Come here." She said. I walked towards her and she felt my head again. "You weren't sick were you?" She asked. "Uhh.. It's a miracle!" I said throwing my hands up in the air. I bit my lip in pain when I did that. She laughed and walked back downstairs. I laid back in bed because I barely could move. Mama woke up and came in there with me. She laughed. "You have tried that one on me. I'm surprised that Amber fell for it." She said.
I laughed and attempted to hug her. "You poor thing!" Mama said sarcastically. Amber walked back in and had the babies. She laid Sadie on my chest and she crawled all over me. She was mumbling noises and grabbing my face. It was the cutest thing!
Amber picked her back up and took her back so she could play. I fell back asleep for about five minutes and then I woke back up with wide eyes.
I just realized that tomorrow was Amber's birthday! I jumped out of bed and hit the floor. "Oh God." I said trying to get back up. I crawled back in bed and grabbed my phone. I called Michael and he finally answered.
"Hello?" He said.
"Hey, Michael! I need you to get me something... Swing by my house and I'll give you some money."
