Chapter 31:
Luke's POV:
I make my way to the bathroom with that annoyed feeling once again.
Brad! I haven't even met the guy in person but hate him so much! Like why does he have to be brought up the whole time? Maybe me and Rosie just aren't meant to be... She was a bit distant at the airport and on the whole way here.
Maybe I meant nothing to her? Was I worth it? I couldn't have meant nothing. All her texts and our Skyping couldn't have meant nothing. I will talk to her about it tomorrow so I don't cause a scene.
I look in the mirror and even I see that I look stressed. I turn on the tap and splash cold water in my face. I look at my reflection again and it looks a small bit better.
I leave the bathroom and make my way back to the living room to watch the end of the movie. Nobody notices as I sit back down, they are all too preoccupied by the movie on the screen.
I take my phone out of my hoodie pocket and open my notes. I scroll through the song I was writing for Rosie. All I have really is the chorus from my book, Michael helped me with some of the chorus and most of the music. I also have a few random sentences I typed in on the plane journey over here.
I make a promise to myself that I will not give up on Rosie and I.
"... I hope that's okay Luke," someone says. I blink a few times before I notice it's Charlie.
"What? I'm sorry. I missed that, I was miles away," I tell her, looking around and noticing the TV is off and we are the only people left in the room.
"You guys are staying here for the night. The guys are staying with us in our room but you have to sleep on the couch. I hope that's okay," she explains again.
"Yeah sure that's no problem."
"I'll get you a sheet for the couch and a blanket and pillows," she tells me leaving the living room.
"Thank you," I smile.
She returns to the living room with a bed sheet, a blanket and two pillows. I get up and take them off her but she keeps the sheet.
"I'll help," she says tiredly, kind of like how mum was after a long day at work. She kind of reminded me of a mother. I start laughing and he gives me a funny look.
"What?"
"I was just thinking..."
"About?"
"Well you just seem to take care of the other girls, like a mother."
"I'm the oldest and someone needs to look after them," she smiles putting the sheet on the couch. "But what's so funny about that?"
"Oh you know, you being like a mother and Ashton a daddy," I smirk and wink at her.
"You can make your bed yourself, goodnight," she laughs, picking up the pillow and throwing it at my head.
"Night Charlie."
I finish making my 'bed' for the night. I sit down and kick off my shoes. I debate whether or not I should take off my jeans but the thoughts of sleeping in my skinny jeans doesn't sound appealing to me. I take them off eventually after a short struggle, followed by my t-shirt. I throw the clothes in a pile on the floor then get into bed.
I lay down resting my head on the pillow and pull the blanket over my body. The blanket is up to my chin keeping me nice and cosy. I feel my eyes get heavier as my head is consumed by thoughts of Rosie, falling asleep only metres away from me and I can't hold her.
I must have fallen asleep because I wake up with a fright of noise coming from the kitchen. I get up and make my way to the kitchen. I see Rosie reaching up trying to get something out of a press.
I walk in seeing she is looking for a glass. I reach up and grab it with my right hand, placing my left hand on her right shoulder. She jumps and turns around and hits me in the stomach. Her eyes growing wide.
"Ow! A thank you would have been enough," I laugh.
"Sorry. Thanks by the way," she says filling up her glass with water from the tap.
"No problem. Why are your up?" I ask her, as she grabs some tablets.
"Well my room is right beside Dani's and her and Michael have been going at it ALL night! They stopped for a bit and I thought I might finally get asleep but just as I was about to fall asleep they go at it again for round two," she tells me, swallowing the tablets with her water.
"Oh shit! I'm sorry you had to listen to that!"
"No I'm sorry," she says, looking me straight in the eyes.
"For what?" I ask confused.
"For how I acted at the airport and all yesterday really. I was really ignorant," she looks to the ground, embarrassed.
"It's okay."
"No it's not. I was horrible to you! I completely ignored you! That was me being completely ignorant! I-"
"Look you weren't the only one," I cut her off. "I had my part to play too. I didn't even try to talk to you even when you were ignoring me. We are as bad as each other."
"Yeah I guess you are right," she yawns.
"You should go to bed. You seem really tired. I hope Dani and Michael have had enough for tonight or long enough for you to fall asleep," I joke, sticking out my tongue at her.
"I hope so. Goodnight Luke," she says, surprising me by stepping forward and giving me a hug, ignoring the fact that I am just in my underwear, but I don't think she really minds.
"Goodnight Rosie. We should catch up tomorrow," I smile down at her as we pull away from our embrace.
"I'm working tomorrow, but when I get home we definitely should," she tiredly smiles back at me.
"Go get some sleep. Night."
"If I can't get to sleep because of them in the next few minutes we are swapping! I'm on the couch and you're in my room, okay?" She laughs lightly.
"Okay, deal."
"Goodnight," she says once again leaving the kitchen and making her way back to her room.
I go back to my make shift bed and flop on to it. I pull the covers up again and I immediately begin to fall asleep.
