NAR HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO LUKE <3333. How is this man 26. He's still a baby. ANYWAYS I HAVE TEA i survived two nights sharing a room with some boy THE TORTURE THAT WAS. He played shitty music every night until 1am. Showed off the whole time about some designer brands he was getting. AND he ran me over with his surf board- LIKE SLAG NO.

Cardigan ~ Taylor Swift "To kiss in cars and downtown bars, was all we needed, you drew stars around my scars"
"This is gonna sound so bad when I tell you though" I replied biting my lip, looking into Lukes eyes for reassurance
"I won't judge I promise. If I did why would I ask you out" he smiled softly, pulling his hand into mine
"Michael only knows me because I ran away, well got kicked out I guess, my parents are like alcoholics. My brother left as soon as he got into college leaving me alone to fend for myself"
"They didn't hurt me physically, but the words they spoke to me, fucked me up pretty mentally. One day I had enough I moved in with my boyfriend at the time, turns out he was a complete dick. It started off with me catching him cheated every night, then came the verbal abuse, then the physical abuse. I got out of it quickly though. I ran away, caught the buss to the next closest state. Sat on a bench outside buss stop to find Michael. He complained I was sitting in his favourite stop which is strange. But we began talking, I broke down and told him everything so he took me home. His mum took me in immediately and it's been like that ever since." I looked up at luke, watching his facial expressions closely
"Can I promise you something" he asked, pulling me closer towards him. Slowly wrapping his arms around my waist
I nodded
"I promise to protect you, with every single bone in my body. No one will hurt you again" he spoke sternly but almost in a soft way
"That means a lot luke" I smiled softly, leaning into his touch
"Fuck it, I know it might be soon to ask this. I mean this is the first date but I've known you for nearly a year now. I know your the one for me, so Effie will you be my girlfriend" he spoke eagerly with a bright smile shown on his face
Oh my god.
This was it.
Luke Hemmings, the boy I'd met in the bar all thanks to Michael has asked me out. THE BOXER.
"Yes, of course" I giggled, leaning slowly towards his attaching my lips to his soft plump ones. Fireworks exploded everywhere around us, this was perfect
"I know this sounds silly, but do you want to go look after joe. I miss him and I'm sure he misses you luke. He was really worried about you bless him" I frowned at the thought of the boy crying over his uncle luke hurt
"Of course, I miss the little man"
I smiled up at luke, taking his hand gripping onto it as I pulled myself up off of the floor. Connecting my hand with his again after he cleared the picnic away, we both walked towards the car, a peaceful silence coming over us.
"Could you at least buy an air freshener for your car, it still stinks" I complained sitting in the passenger side of Lukes car
"Nope, enjoy the man smell, take it all in" he breathed in heavily letting out a small chuckle
"I hate you"
— Ashton of course had given me and luke a list full of rules, on how to look after joe. It was funny in a way how over protective Ashton was over joe. It was cute to.
Ashton was actually grateful for them offering to babysit. Apparently he had asked a girl on a date he had met at work. She was called Izzy her hair was long and brown with lime green eyes. She was gorgeous she was the type of girl who was naturally pretty and didn't need makeup.
"Uncle lukey" a small spoke, little foot steps could be heard against the grey wooden floor as little joe ran out from the corner
"Joey" luke squealed giving back the same energy, he picked him up quickly before throwing him on his shoulders
"Hi auntie Effie, how are you" I said rolling my eyes, there was no way luke was replacing me as favourite
"Effie can we make cookies tonight pleaseeeee" The small boy begged, trying to show off his best puppy dog eyes
"Of course we can" I smiled brightly at him
"Me and little joey are going to have a man to man conversation while you set up for baking" luke chuckled making some weird rocket noise ,running out of the room with joe still on his shoulders
Great now I was being ditched to do the boring part. Thank god ash goes shopping and his shelves were stocked up. I grabbed out the ingredients for baking cookies: butter, sugar , eggs, vanilla extract, salt and chocolate chips. This was perfect and I know joe is going to love it
He always helped Ashton cook dinner, claiming he just wanted to make his dad happier and have an easier life, since he was alone.
Joe was very grateful for his dad. He didn't care if he didn't have a mum. Ashton was both, his mum and dad. He didn't everything for him, like helping him with his homework or getting change or always there to cheer him up with a cuddle and a kiss on the cheek. He was caring and perfect. Joe never wanted to leave Ashton or move out. He wanted to stay little and just be Ashtons.
"I'm all set up" I shouted through the house. Hearing the same rocket ship sounds bounce through the hallway into the kitchen
"Are you ready for baking little joey"
