After we woke up from that little nap, Luke had to get ready for band practice. And tonight, we're finally going on an official date! Me, Luke, Ashton, Michael, Calum, Emily, Sydney, Summer, Justin, and a girl Michael had been seeing, Avie, are going to the movies. Even though we aren't going alone, It's still gonna be fun. Me and Luke are going on an actual date alone sometime soon.

"Okay. What should I wear to the movies tonight?" I asked Luke.

"You look good in everything." He smirked.

"No I don't Luke. Stop it." I blushed.

"Yes you do, I'm speaking the truth!" He laughed and put his hands up in defeat.

"I don't Luke." I said while trying to stifle my laugh.

"Whatever you say." He laughed.

I laughed in response.

I picked out my outfit for the movies.

A mint green crop top with the words are you kitten me right meow?on it.
Black jeans ←of course.
My all white Converse.
And a black beanie that says 'meow' on it.

Luke was wearing his Nirvana shirt, black jeans of course, and black Vans.

We went to Ashton's house for their band practice and after that we would go to the movies.

The band practice was so fun and amazing. The boys are truly astonishing.

When the band practice was done, me and like got in Luke's car, Ashton, Sydney, Emily, and Calum went in Ashton's car, and Michael went in his car so he could pick up Avie.

When we got to the movies, I immediately felt my stomach turn.

Standing in the doorway, was my ex-boyfriend Jack.
He was such a jerk. We broke up because he cheated on me. He was also a terrible boyfriend otherwise.

He turned and looked away from his group to meet eyes with mine. When he saw me, he immediately got a devilish smile on his face. I looked away and tried to ignore him, but clearly, that didn't work.

He walked away from his group and started towards me. I was looking the other way the whole time, but it didn't stop him from approaching me.

"Well, well. Hello Lila." He evilly smirked.

"Hi Jack." I mumbled.

"Who's this?" Luke questioned, you could feel the tension in Luke's voice.

"My ex-boyfriend, Jack." I murmured.

"Oh, so you're Jack?" Luke angrily asked.

"Well it seems as if Lila doesn't shut up about me. Still hung up?" Jack asked me.

"I talked to Luke about How much of a dick you were. And why would I be hung up over you? I dumped you." I said with annoyance in my voice.

"Well It's not like Luke treats you any better." He huffed.

"He treats me way better than you could ever." I stated.

"Well, I hope he doesn't treat you like a princess, because you don't deserve that. You don't even deserve Luke, he could do much better." Jack snarled.

"WHOA! Hey! Let's not go that far. Jack, I suggest you go before something happens." Luke told Jack while Luke balled his fists at his sides.

"Whatever." Jack puffed while walking away.

"He is really a shitface. Just like you said." Luke told me.

"He is right, you do deserve better than me, and I don't deserve you." I sniffled while starting to cry. I hate crying in public. Let alone crying in front of people, even one person.

"Hey, Hey." Luke said as he wrapped his arms around me, "that's not true, and you know that. How am I that valuable anyways?"

"I don't know. But you just could do better, I'm not much of a prize." I said while calming my crying.

"You are a prize. And I won you." He smiled

"You did win me over, you got me to fall in love with you." I grinned.
