when the song ended, i was spell bound. we all were. we just sat, all of us, in silence when it ended. "that was beautiful," katrina said, breaking the silence. elena and i nodded in agreement. michael smiled and grabbed katrina's hand, while calum moved so that elena could sit on his lap. luke and i just stared at each other, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips.

"did you like it?" he asked me. i smiled, "i loved it." he breathed out a sigh of relief. "good," he replied, "because i have something else to play for you." luke gently removed me from the spot in-between his legs as took the guitar from michael and started to re-tune it. i watched as his fingers worked at the strings. luke looked up at me, took a deep breath and started to play.

"you walked in. everyone was asking for your name. you just smiled and told them "trouble." my head spins. i'm pressed against the wall. just watching your every move. you're way too cool, and you're coming this way, coming this way.

how did we end up talking in the first place? you said you liked my cobain shirt now we're walking back to your place, you're telling me how you love that song about living on a prayer. i'm pretty sure that we're halfway there, and when i wake up next to you i wonder how, how did we end up here? how did we end up, how did we end up here?

next day out everybody thought you were so insane, 'cause you were so far out of my league. my friends say i should lock you down, before you figure me out and you run away. but you don't and you won't as you kiss me, and you tell me that you're here to stay

call me lucky 'cause in the end, i'm a six and she's a ten. she's so fit, i'm insecure, but she keeps coming back for more.

how did we end up, how did we end up here? how did we end up, how did we end up here?"

and throughout the entire song, his bright blue eyes were focused on mine. he smiled at me when it ended. "that's song reminds me of you, tiahn." luke said. how? i was nothing, a nobody. luke was a rock star. well, a rock star in the making! "i understand the whole bit about tiahn being a 10," i heard katrina say, "but luke a six? no way!" i shook my head at her as luke's cheeks began flushing scarlet. "hey!" michael cried out in indignation, earning a sweet smile and a kiss on the cheek from katrina. luke looked up at me, the tops of his cheeks still red. i was vaguely aware of the people around us- my cousin, his band mate, and my 2 best friends. but i didn't care. i sat on luke's lap, wrapped my hands around his neck and kissed him. everything i didn't say was expressed as my lips touched his.
