Brothers Bandmate

35

-Brianna's POV-

        Keeping things on the down low with Luke was actually pretty difficult.  I haven't gotten the courage to tell Ally because of how she reacted to Sophie dating Mikey, and I haven't told Sophie because she would most likely tell Mikey.  My biggest fear was telling Mikey, scared of how he would react, especially towards Luke.  So Luke promised he wouldn't tell anyone until I did, meaning we had hid our relationship for the past four days and making today Thursday.

        Mikey drove me to school, like usual, left me to go to his group, like usual, and I met Luke at the side of the school, like usual.  We did this everyday this week, not being spotted a single time...at least not yet.

        Luke smile once he spotted me, sending butterflies in my stomach and causing me to smile back.  He grabbed my waist and planted a kiss on my lips, the smiles not leaving.

        Once he pulled away, he looked down at me but kept his hands on my hips.  "I guess we don't greet each other anymore," he joked at our lack of saying "hello".

        "We do, just not verbally."

        Luke chuckled at my response.  "So...did you tell him yet?" Luke asked, just like he did everyday.  He was very eager to tell people, which was a nice change form being embarrassed to be seen around me, but he was also wanting to get the expected beating from Mikey out of the way.

        I looked down, my silence giving Luke the answer.  I could hear him groan, making me speak up.  "I'm sorry!  I'm just scared to tell him!  He won't be happy, even if I give him the excuse that he's dating my best friend!"

        "Why not?  He can date Sophie but I can't date you?" Luke questioned.

        "It's different, Luke!"

        "How?"

        "Because!  I...I'm his baby sister!  He's always warned me about staying away from you guys, especially you!  He's made it very clear he doesn't want me dating you!" I explained, hoping Luke would understand.

        Luke moved away, his hands being removed from my waist.  "So it's basically because I'm a bad influence?  Because I party, smoke, sleep around with girls..." I cringed at the mention of Luke messing around with other girls, not liking the thought of him with someone else or me being just one of those girls.  Luke noticed though and stopped.  "Sorry, I...you know I don't do that anymore," he apologized.

        I shook my head.  "No, I know that.  I'm just...scared of how Mikey will react, especially towards you.  You'll get a lot of heat from him, or at least a serious talk from him."

        "I know I will, and I'm ready for it.  It's not that big of a deal, I've fought with him before and have been in worse situations.  Only this time it will be worth something," Luke assured me.

        I looked up at him, meeting his eyes that I always seemed to get lost in.  I felt as though I was literally lost at sea when I looked into them, and was one of my favorite things about Luke.  "You sure you're ready?"
