"Lilly, I have to tell you something," I say.
Lilly looks up to me, her bright blue eyes shining brightly. She's so beautiful. Everyone mistakes us as siblings, we both have bright blue eyes and blonde hair, we have the same taste in music, and we have the same personality."What's up?" She asks. "You look upset."
"Well the boys and I are going to America on tour," I answer.
"You are!! That's so awesome! Why are you upset?" She smiles.
"Because America is so far away from Sydney," I say.
"Luke look at me," Lilly says taking my hands, "we will make this work. We worked through it when I moved away for two months and we'll work through it now." Her eyes glisten with tears, but she doesn't let them fall.
I smile at Lilly, but then frown."What about the time zones? How are we going to work through that!" I say a tear falling down my cheeks.
"I'll stay up late. You know I already do that!" Lilly keeps up her wall of hopefulness.
"You don't seem that upset about me leaving." I tease.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice. I just need a break," she laughs the tears in her eyes rolling down her cheek.
I rub the pad of my thumb over her cheek, I lean forward capturing her lips with mine.When we pull apart she smiles.
"Luke, no matter where you are, I will always love you.""And I will always love you," I say pecking her lips.

"Here's your paycheck Mr. Hemmings." The chief of police hands me my paycheck.
"And here's yours Mr. Irwin. I'll see you two next Monday."Ashton and I nod and turn away.
"I'm so close Ashton!" I exclaim.
"Only $50 till I can get a phone and can finally contact Lilly after all these years!""That's great Luke!" Ashton says as we walk home.
Ashton was the only one who never left me after everything that's happened.
"Don't you ever just wonder what happened to Michael and Calum?" Ashton blurts out of nowhere.
"I do. A lot actually," I answer. We both walk in silence for a while.
"So have you seen any cute girls lately?" I ask Ashton.
"Actually I have," he says.
"I want to know everything about this girl," I say.
"She has long, straight brown hair, and blue eyes." Ashton begins. "And she is just really really pretty." He continues. "And her name is Jillian, and she just looks so perfect and I finally got the guts to speak to her two days ago."
"She looks so perfect standing there," I sing quietly, remembering the song from our band.
"In my American Apparel underwear," Ashton continues quietly with a smile.
We both continue singing the rest of the way home.
When we get home we sit on our old couch. Our "home" is an abandoned apartment that Ashton and I renovated ourselves. And by renovate I mean we knocked down all the walls to make more room.
Ashton turns on the tv and flips over to the news.
"Isn't your interview on the news?" I ask Ashton."Yup," he smiles popping the p.
"Cool," I say. The conversation ends there as his interview starts.
Ashton joined the police department first because he was older while I was stuck working at Subway till I was old enough. That makes Ashton my boss; and at work, it seems like he hates me. Ashton is the head detective at the station and I'm a junior detective.
Once Ashton's interview is done, we head into our kitchen and get out the pizza leftovers from our mini fridge. And heat them up.
"Guess what?" Ashton asks.
"What," I mumble with a mouth full of pizza.
"I overheard that you may be getting your first case to lead!" He smiles.
"Really!" I ask, shocked that I would be getting a case of my own.
"Yep, and it's no thanks to me," he grins.
"Thanks Ash," I say, knowing he did all of this. "Can you tell me what it is?"
"Do you remember the robbery that happened last week and the one today?" He asks.
I nod my head.
"Thats your case," he states.
"Fun," I say with a smile, even though working a robbery sounds boring and easy.
We spend the rest of the night watching random shows on TV and taking, and we finally go to bed at midnight.
~~~~I walk into the chief's office and she hands me the file.
"Here you go Mr. Hemmings. Your first case," she smiles.
"Thank you," I say.
I read over the file quickly as I walk to my desk. Apparently a jewlry store was robbed and there is no traceble evidence. I decide to go back to the crime scene later.
"Apparently the robber was like a shadow. He or she was spotted. The witness looked down for a split second to push a warning alarm, and the robber was gone in that split second." Ashton says walking up to me.
"THERE WAS A ROBBERY! I WANT MR. HEMMINGS AND MR. IRWIN IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM NOW!!!" the cheif yells.
Ashton and I look to eachother with a confused look and follow the cheif. Once we walk in the cheif shuts the door to the conference room and shuts the blinds.
"Cheif, why am I here?" I ask.
"Because it was the shadow robber," she states.
"What is so serious about it this time?" Ashton asks.
"This is why," the cheif clicks a remote and a picture of the crime scene appears.
In the photo there is a note for us; well not us, for me.
"I see you put the famous Luke Hemmings on my case. Well I guess we can play a fun game now. I left one clue at this cime scene. If you find it, you will know where the next robbery will take place, if not there will be a greater consequence.
Also I'm a girl."Ashton looks at me, a scared look on his face.
"W-would that mean m-murder?" I ask.
"We don't know, I mean, it could just mean a diomand gets stolen or something," Ashton tries to reassure. "Girls like diomands."
"Wait! How did she know I was put on the case!" I exclaim. "I was only put on it today."
"She must have an insider," Ashton says.
"I want Mr. Irwin investigating the insider; and Mr. Hemmings please find out who Shadow is." The cheif says.
We walk out of the conference room, a grim feeling over us.
"I'll head to the crime scene to investigate and try to find the clue," I say."Okay, I'll see you at noon for lunch." Ashton says.
"K."
I head out of the department and begin walking to the jewry store that was robbed.
