New Romantics - Val

5SOS fans upset about Luke Hemmings new girlfriend

I read the headline and my stomach dropped. Luke's must've looked over my shoulder because before I knew it my phone was ripped out of my hands.

"Don't read that shit. From now on, if my fans say they hate you then they hate me too. We're together now, they come for you and they come for me." When did he get so protective? I liked it. Yesterday was a really good day for us, but I can't start thinking that it's always going to be like this.

"Okay...we are going out today right?" I asked. It was around 2 in the afternoon, we had gotten up late like yesterday. I hate to admit it but Luke was right, I was less tired when I slept in, but he made me stay in pajamas to be "comfortable" he just wore gray sweats and a black shirt.

"Do you want to go out today?" He asked me as he stepped closer to me. Even though he got dressed his hair was still a mess, a beautiful mess.

"We can if you want to." I responded, which was the truth, I would do whatever he wanted, platonically of course...anyways I just want to keep him happy.

"Stop. I want to know what you want. I care about what you want, so tell me what you want." His eyes darkened as he kept stepping closer, his hand rested on my leg.

"I...don't see why it matters." I smiled. Testing him, seeing how far this game could go.

"Because...it does! Who the fuck told you that what you want doesn't matter!" He yelled. My first boyfriend, I wanted to tell him. Liam. He was the first.

"I want to go out, and I want to go shopping." I stood up, my chest against his.

"Tell me what you want me to do." I felt the blood rushing to my cheeks, I felt hot. He looked hot. No. No. No.

"I want you to go get dressed in real clothes. I want you to fix your hair." I walked away from him but I could feel his eyes on me. "And I want you to wipe that stupid smile off of your face." I laughed as I walked into the room.

He was dressed in black jeans and a white button up shirt he wore loosely. I stood by my closet trying to figure out what to wear. He must've noticed because he came up next to me and started looking through my closet.

"It's getting colder out, so you need something warm, maybe jeans?" I couldn't wear jeans because I wore jeans out already this week which is what I told him. "A skirt is too cold though. I think these leggings will keep you a bit warm." He handed me the pink leggings while I sat on the bed. "What about this crop top? I think it looks good." He handed me the shirt, it was a pink long sleeved crop top.

I finished getting changed and came out of the bathroom to show him the outfit. I had also finished my makeup and did my hair in a half up half down look with a light pink bow. "It's missing something..." he said as he circled me. He ran over to his side of the room and grabbed his black leather jacket and helped me put it on. He was right. It went with the outfit beautifully. 

We finally got out of the building and made it past the paps when two fans stopped us on the street.

"Oh my god...this is amazing! I'm Leah and this is Lisa! I'm such a big fan of you Valentine!" Leah squealed with happiness. I of course said hello and offered to take a picture with her.

"Hi Luke! I'm more of a 5SOS fan, I can't believe you're dating her. I mean you could do so much better than that Pink prissy snob." I heard Lisa say as I stood next to Luke, he squeezed my hand tighter, he was angry.

"C'mon Lisa! It's a new romance in New York! It's amazing." Leah smiled while Lisa rolled her eyes.

"Hey Luke, can I get a picture?" Lisa asked with puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sorry I don't give out photos to people who disrespect my girlfriend. Maybe next time before you insult someone you should learn more about them because anyone who hates her hates me. Goodbye girls. It was nice meeting you Leah." Woah. I can't believe he just did that. He pulled me away from the girls and we started walking down the street. He stopped after we turned the corner, it was getting dark now.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry she said that." He held my hands in his. I was less concerned about what the girl said and more wrapped up in how he responded.

"I'm okay, at least we are at the store I wanted to take you to!" I was so excited. We walked in and I knew exactly what I was looking for. I was on a mission.

"Luke! Come here!" I yelled over to the man looking at a plain black shirt.

"I want you to wear this!" I smiled holding up a light pink button down shirt. "I wore your stupid black converse. You owe me." I handed him the shirt.

"Fine..." he took the shirt and went to pay as I looked around a bit more.

We finally made it home and I sat down by my writing notebook because I had an idea, so I told Luke and he sat next to me on the piano.

"Baby, we're the New Romantics, come on, come along with me." I sang out and turned to see a smile on Luke's face. He's been very smiley recently.

I sang the next line "Heartbreak is the national anthem we sing it proudly."

"How about we put in something like and every day is like a battle, but every night with us is like a dream" he added.

"Cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me. I think that could go before I think." The song was coming along nicely.

"I think I have the start of a good bridge." I said. I began to sing the start "please take my hand and please take me dancing and please leave me stranded..." I trailed off until he sang the last lyric of the bridge of the song we called New Romantics.

"It's so romantic."
