Chapter 32
(Jenn's POV)
We are finally back in Chicago! I'm pretty sure the camp we went to is still going on. Schools don't start for another few weeks. I think after we left, there was hardly anyone there. The people who were in the big storm that kept them from coming here, probably decided to not come after the storm ended. I wouldn't mind seeing the camp again. That's where my life completely changed around. I am finishing up the rest of my school online, since I missed 1/3 of the school year and I didn't want to transfer. Jade and Misty haven't talked to me since I left a while ago. Calum and Michael say they had to finish school. They won't be with us until next week I think.
I don't consider them friends anymore. I have had the 5SOS and One Direction lads over at my house more than I have had them over. They never came over to see how I was doing. They never texted me, so I decided to just leave them be. I knew moving would cause something bad to happen. But I realize it's better to have guy friends than girl friends because it is less drama.
"Okay. Here are the rooms. Ashton and Michael. Calum and Luke. Louis and Harry. Niall, Liam and Zayn. Jenn, you get your own room."
"Oh. Okay!"
I have to admit. I was a little disappointed when I found out that I wasn't with Luke. I grab my bags and walk over to the security guard to receive my key. I grab it from him and walk over towards the elevator. I am at the top floor. I don't know where the rest of the guys are, but I am fine. I think I am going to go site seeing. I was only in Chicago once actually. It was with Luke. We hardly went anywhere.
I press the level 14 button. I notice, as I look around the elevator, that there is no level 13. It goes 12 then 14. Apparently the 13th floor is bad luck? I do believe that. I would never want to have my room on the 13th floor. As I make it up the 14 floors, I walk out and go right towards my room.
My room is huge. It is a bit too big for just one person. There is one bedroom, a huge lounge area and bathroom, a really nice balcony and a nice kitchen/dining area. I set my bags down in my room and decide on where I want to go sight seeing. I was going to ask one of the guys to come with me, but I feel like all they would do was talk about Luke. How we should start dating. I am all in for it, but it's not up to me.
When I walked out of my room, a knock made me jump. I walk over towards the door and open it.
"Hey Jenn, I was wondering, do you want to go sight seeing with me, like right now?" Luke asks.
"I was just about to go too!"
"Cool, are you ready?" he asks nervously.
"Yeah. Let's go!"
We hardly know Chicago. Just that their skyscrapers are famous and it's the 3rd most populous city in the US. I was looking forward most to Millennium Park. I heard that it has a lot of art and it's pretty awesome.
"Where to first?" he asks.
"I kinda want to see Millennium Park, but whatever is fine with you!"
"We can go there first, then Buckingham Fountain."
Luke grabs my hand and we walk down the street towards the park. Fans notice us, but none ask for pictures. It's kinda weird. Luke's first concert in Chicago is tomorrow night, then he has another concert here on Saturday. We leave Chicago Monday, so we only have about two days of free time. Tomorrow and Saturday, Luke is going to be at the stadium all day practicing. I am spending the day with Louis, until he has to leave for practice. Sunday I plan on just resting half the day, then going to Navy Pier. Monday, I want to have an alone day. We leave late at night, I just want to spend time in Chicago alone.
"Look at the bean!" Luke shouts.
"Take a picture of me! I want to send it to my parents," I say while handing him my phone.
I quickly run over near the stairs and sit down. I plant a smile on my face and wait for Luke to take the picture. When he gets that picture, I ask him to take a picture of me touching the bean. This has to be the coolest thing I have ever seen. Luke asks a lady in a blue shirt, if she could take a picture of us two in front of the bean. She takes the phone and me and Luke smile. She hands us back the phone and we thank her.
"Where to next?" I ask.
"We still have a lot of the park to cover Jenn! We aren't even halfway over!"
We start walking and make our way to a pavilion. The Jay Pritzker Pavilion. It was huge and they probably could've had their concert here. Sure, the pavilion is smaller than Soldier Field, but still! It's huge!
We continue walking and we are on the BP Bridge. I don't have many fears, except heights, bugs and bridges. I tense up and start doubting myself about walking to the other side.
"Luke. I can't walk across."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I forgot. Do you want to head to crown fountain? I'm pretty sure nothing is across the bridge is there that we would enjoy. C'mon."
He grabs my hand and his other hand reaches my shoulder. He rubs it back and forth, comforting me. Luke just has something in him that makes you calm down as soon as his skin reaches yours.
The crown fountain is messed up. Pictures of local citizens are on a huge block and there is water spitting out of their mouths. It's kinda creepy. Luke grabs me from behind and places me over his shoulder. I am confused as to why he is doing this. I pound on his back and he doesn't seem to budge. I am soon faced with the coldness of water.
"Luke! My phone!"
"Don't worry. I put it on a bench underneath my sweater. You are good."
"I can't believe you did this. I am going to get revenge."
"Sure you will," he says, walking over to my phone.
He hands me my phone and I am relieved. You can't just leave your phone and sweater on a bench, anyone can steal it. He hands me his sweater, as he sees me shiver from the coldness of the weather. I instantly take it and he lightly smiles.
"Do you want to get some lunch?" Luke asks.
I nod. He grabs my hand and we walk down the street from the park to a Noodles and Company. I order a cheese pasta and he orders a weird dish that I couldn't hear.
*****
I jump into my bed and let out a loud scream. Today was exhausting. After lunch, we went to a few museums and I am too tired of walking now. I am taking a car the next time we go somewhere.
It is now nine at night and I need sleep to come to me fast. I walk into my bathroom and wipe off my makeup. I change into my pajamas and walk towards my bed. I cuddle underneath the covers and close my eyes.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I feel the bed dip on the other side and an arm around my waste.
"Goodnight Jenn, I love you," Luke said.
