Luke's POV
It was hard seeing Grace like this but I wanted to help her.

I got a call from Claire and since Grace was asleep, I went into her kitchen to answer it.

"Hey!" I say.

"Hey Luke! How's Grace doing?" She asks in a worriedly voice.

"She's doing okay. Not the very best but she's okay."

"I'm such a horrible best friend. Thank you so so so much Luke how can I ever, ever thank you!" She replied.

"Hey you're not a horrible friend. Do you want to meet up at the park or something?" I ask.

"If it's okay with you, then yeah, sure!"

"Okay well see you later at the park just around the corner of my house okay?"

"Yep bye!"

"Bye!" I reply as I hung the phone up.

She was one adorable human being. I was even attracted to her green eyes and her blond brunette hair. God, Luke you just met you. You're an idiot.

I wrote a note for Grace and placed it on her phone, whenever she wakes up.

I got her spare key she had given me and I got out.

I walked towards the park and I saw Claire just on the swing with mini bar of chocolate. I found that cute and funny.

"Hey!" I say as I walk up to her.

"Mmm! Hi Luke!" She says and she throws another small chocolate bar to me. I catch it and sit down next to her on the swing.

I wrap the chocolate and start eating it.

"How's Grace doing?" She asked as we both finish the chocolate bar.

"She had some breakdowns and cried but she was most of the time strong and handle herself. She was okay. She was just sleeping too." I reply.

"Oh. Thank you so much Luke for looking after her. God I sound like a mom but like thank you."
I laugh at her response.

"It's okay. She's my best friend for so long." I say.

We were silent for a moment and stared into each other's eyes deeply. That was when we both leaned into each other and kissed.

Her lips were really soft and she she smelled really sweet.

I pulled back and start panicking. But before I could say something she kissed me. It wasn't really passionate or anything but it was magical.

We both look at each other and our forehead touched.

"I... I... I know we just met, oh god, it's too fast but, ca-can you be my girlfriend?" I blurted out. WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST SAY. I try saying something but Claire cuts me off by saying "yes."
WAIT YES?!

"Yes Luke, I will." She replies and she pecks my lip.

I feel my smile getting bigger every second.

My phone suddenly rang and it was Calum. That's when it hit me.

"How about Calum?" I ask.

"I don't know...." She says unsure but she looked happy when I asked her to be my girlfriend so I ignored the thought of Claire maybe having a crush on Calum and I answered his call.

"What's up bro?" I ask.

"Nothing really. Just bored." Calum says.

"Well can I meet you up somewhere and can you go check on Grace? I have the spare key and I'm going to hang out with someone tonight." I say.
