Luke pov
Today was the day.
I was deading it, I was meant to drive to the airport, but Mikey decided I would be a mess, so that he would do it instead. He was right. I was shaking the whole ride to the airport and couldn't let myself let go of her hand. I never thought that a girl could make me like this, but with Olivia, it was different. Maybe because of everything that's happened between us, or the amount of time I've known her.
I think back to last week when I took her on a surprise road trip so we could just be alone together. I took her to the same place we said I love you to each other, it was our spot. It took an hour to drive there, and we had the windows down, and the wind was blowing her hair everywhere.
She looked beautiful.
When we got there, she was insistent on swimming in the lake, I told her it was a bad idea, but she called me a spoilsport and jumped in anyway. She managed to catch her foot on a fishing wire or something and ended up getting a big cut on her leg from it.
"Ow ow ow," she yells as she runs out of the water.
I can see the blood on her leg and run over to her, "are you ok? What happened? Sit down, let me see," I say, getting her to sit on the nearest bench so I can look at it properly. It was a deep clean cut from her ankle up to her knee. "We're going to the hospital," I say without a second thought.
"It's just a scratch. I don't wanna ruin the day you planned out," she protests, acting like it doesn't hurt.
"Don't argue with me. It might get infected. Just get in the car, dummy," I chuckle, helping her to the car.
She rolls her eyes but agrees with me anyway, jumping in the car, "this reminds me of that Halloween", she giggles, holding my hand as I drive.
"Oh yeah, when I had to drag your stubborn ass into a&e because you punched Ashton with your broken wrist?" I chuckle, I know this is stupid, but she is stubborn about this sort of thing.
"Mhmm", she smiles, and I see her biting her lip slightly.
"How sore is it?"
"It's not that bad, really...."
"Liv."
"Ok, maybe it hurts a bit more than a little," she mutters.
"I did tell you not to go in the water...."
"Yeah yeah, whatever..." she grumbles, too stubborn to say I'm right.
I roll my eyes and pull up to the hospital and help her in. explaining to the lady at the desk what happened, "hi, my stubborn girlfriend decided to go into the lake with a sign that said no swimming and cut her leg in the water we were wondering if we could get it checked?" I think it sounded harsh to Olivia, I didn't want it to sound like that, but I was pretty mad; I thought she was more sensible than this.
The lady looks between us with a raised eyebrow and gives Olivia a form to fill in, "fill this in and sign here. I'll get someone to check on you soon." Olivia takes it and walks off to a seat not even looking at me. Shit.
"Want a hand?" I say sitting next to her putting an arm around her shoulders.
"I think I can handle a form Luke..." she says not looking up at me.
"Sorry I was just trying to help..." I say rolling my eyes slightly.
"Just shut up Luke..." she grumbles as she finishes the form and goes to hand it back to the lady at the desk.
After that I stay quiet, I didn't want to make this any worse. We follow a nurse into a room, they clean out her leg and give her stitches, and give her some pain medication. "There you go, you should be fine, just be careful with it," the nurse smiles at us, "oh I remember you 2 from about 2 years ago, I see you're still happy together" she grins recognising us.
"Yeah, he's just being an asshole today,"
"Wait what did I do again?" I say looking back at liv.
She just rolls her eyes and thanks to the nurse for her help and walks with me in silence to the car.
"Wanna get ice cream?" I say trying to lighten the mood when we get in the car.
She glares up at me, "you can't bribe me into being in a good mood but yes please," she grumbles as I drive.
"Are you sure you're ok?..." I ask nervously, not sure what else to say.
She shoots me another glare, "I'm fine... stop being so nice..." she says turning her head to look out the window.
I roll my eyes and let out a sigh, "I don't know what you want me to say... I don't like it when you're mad at me..."
"I'm not mad... I just said I'm fine," She mumbles crossing her arms and not looking over at me.
"I know that when you say you're fine you are not..." I chuckle, glancing across at her as I stop at some traffic lights.
She just stays quiet staring out the window and letting out a sigh. It was hard when she was mad at me, I didn't like it but she's the one who started it.
He chuckles "oh come on, I don't even know what I did..."
"Your kidding right? I know it's my fault that this happened, I can deal with it, I can talk for myself too and I know I'm stubborn but you don't have to go around telling people about it," she says raising her voice obviously annoyed.
"Oh... sorry..."
"Exactly. You didn't even give me chance to explain it to them you just went straight in with how I'm stubborn and didn't listen to you about it." she says finally letting out her feelings, "I love you but sometimes you make it really hard for me." she sighs looking back at me.
"I'm really sorry love... I love you too I was just worried about you..." I sigh reaching for her hand to hold while I drive. She gives in and squeezes it lightly.
"So ice cream?" She chuckles.
"Ice cream." I smile.
It's probably the first big fight we've had in nearly 2 years, I know shes tired and stressed so don't think too much into it.
I squeeze her hand as we stand in the check-in queue at the airport, "you ok?"
"Yeah... are you?"
"I think so" I chuckle slightly and she hugs me, "I'm gonna miss you..."
"Gimme your phone" she chuckles holding her hand out for me. I chuckle but put it in her hand, she takes a few selfies and sets one for my home page and another for the lock screen and puts a dual time zone clock on it so I can see when to call her. "There. Now when you miss me look at your phone, if I'm awake or close to awake just call me" she smiles up at me.
I chuckle, "I'm never gonna be off the phone..." I chuckle studying her face for a bit.
She laughs and leans up to kiss me, my arms go round her waist holding her close as we kiss. Every time we kiss like this it's like the first time, I get butterflies and feel like my heart is trying to beat out of my chest. But at the same time, we calm each other down. she pulls away looking up at me, "Luke I'd love to stay and do this all day but if I don't leave I'm going to miss my flight..."
I bite my lip looking up at her, "your right..." I mumble holding her close, "I love you, don't go getting with any British guys..."
"I love you too, I wouldn't dare, you stay away from the girls that follow you around campus." she chuckles kissing my cheek and letting me go, "ill call you when I get there ok?"
I nodded squeezing her hand again, I knew she would get there in the middle of the night but I can stay up for the call. She smiles wiping her eyes before she could start crying, "I'm going to go now, otherwise I will start crying and then I won't get on the plane." she says pecking my cheek and then running off before I can say anything. I turn around and head back to the car looking at her picture on my phone the whole way back.
