Meghan's POV: I walked up the driveway to the boys house after I was sure they were back from the hospital.
"Hey, everything okay? You sounded upset over the phone." Ashton said when he opened the door.
"Yeah. I came by to check on Luke." I said." I broke up with Connor by the way. Cindy was right, I shouldn't be in a relationship I'm not happy in." I explained as he walked me upstairs.
"Good for you. Now I know how you feel about Luke and how bad you felt after the breakup but I really think it's in your best interest to talk things out with him for real. You still love him and he loves you, isn't that enough?" He asked." I'm not trying to pressure you or anything but as your brother and as someone who loves you dearly, consider it."
I nodded and Ashton knocked on the door." Hey buddy, how're you feeling?" Ashton asked when he opened the door. Luke was sitting on the bed with a movie playing on the computer and a bag of peas pressed against his face.
"Nose is still broken." Luke mumbled.
"Okay well there's someone here to see you." Ashton stepped aside and let me in. Luke's face lit up with he saw me and instantly shut the laptop and put it aside.
"Hey! What're you doing here?" He asked.
"Came by to check on you. Mind if I shut the door?" I asked and he nodded. I shut the door before making my way over to him. I stood at the side of the bed trying not to laugh at the sight of a bag of peas smooshed to his face.
"I'm fine, by the way. A few cuts and scrapes-"
"And a broken nose." I added.
"Yeah. It's fine though, don't worry too much about it and tell Connor that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone out of line like that." Luke explained." If it were me in his position, I probably wouldn't have handled it like that but I would defend my girl."
"Your girl? You're not throwing around hypotheticals of you and me anymore?" I pondered.
"Well you've made it very, very clear that you're happy with Connor and that you and I are off the table. I just want you to be happy." Luke said.
I smiled to myself." I broke up with Connor this afternoon after he punched you multiple times."
"Then regard everything I just said; you and I are still on the table and I want you to be happy with me!" Luke chuckled." Are you okay?" He asked, his tone getting a bit more serious.
"Yeah. I have been planning on breaking up with him for a while for many reasons; he's pushy, he's violent, and he's been cheating on me to name a few but the most important reason was this afternoon." I explained as I sat down on the small part of the edge of the bed next to Luke's legs." You made a promise to me almost a year ago that you'd never be violent in any way and even after we broke up and I continued to hurt you by shooting you down, you kept that promise and refused to hit him which lead to the ass beating of your life."
"I needed to prove that I could keep some of my promises." Luke admitted." I promised not to get violent and I promised you, your brother, and both of my best friends that I wouldn't hurt you and that's exactly what I did. I can never take it back or get rid of the guilt but you need to know I am sorry and I'll never stop being sorry for it. Meghan-"
"Shh." I said." Let me talk now."
"I forgive you Luke. I've been thinking about it a lot since we broke up and no matter how much I want to stay mad and not give in to the feelings I have for you but I can't. I need to move on or I'll never be happy with you or anyone else for that matter. Besides how long can I stay mad at someone when I've admitted to him, his best friends, my best friends, my brother, and my therapist that I still love him and still be mad?"
"You still love me?" He asked even though he knows the answer. I didn't say anything but I leaned over, moved the bag away from his face, and pecked his lips.

He looked at me for a second before dropping the bag on the bed, taking my face in his hands, and kissing me passionately.

When I released I smiled and asked," does that hurt?"
"It's worth it." He told me before kissing me again but a few seconds later he winced in pain, released, and said," no it's not."
"I better go. Jacks probably wondering where I am." I told him as I stood up. Before I walked out Luke asked," so are we back together?"
I looked at him with a smirk and answered yes. When I headed to the door I felt by phone buzz in my pocket. When I pulled it out, I saw it was from Connor.
"Everything okay?" Luke asked.
"Yeah." I lied as I went back and forth with Connor. His last text before I blocked him was the worst one.
I hope Luke cheats on you again
I said goodbye and walked down the stairs as if none of it has fazed me. I announced we were back together to the boys and they all went crazy.
"Does this mean you'll start cooking because we have nothing to eat." Calum asked.
I chuckled and headed out.
"I'm serious!" Calum called before I shut the door. On the drive home all I could think about was that kiss and Connor's text. It shouldn't hurt me but it does.
I went home trying hard not to let it get to me and not to get worked up over it but shit happens. I went to bed early and hoped that tomorrow it'll be forgotten about.
