*kayla dreaming*

"You're pathetic"

"Look what you got yourself into you little slut"

I could make out figures of people spinning around me in a circle. They were each chanting things to me. I tried to escape but I was trapped. They were closing in on me, making the circle smaller and smaller until I could barely breathe.

*back to reality*

I woke up with droplets of sweat on my face. I put my hand in my chest to feel my uncontrollable heartbeat. What a bad nightmare...

I checked Beau's clock which was hanging from the wall. It's only 3 am. I tried closing my eyes and getting back to sleep. Its no use, I'm too scared. I just feel so alone...

I decided to see if any of the boys were still awake. So I got out of Beaus bed and grabbed the duvet and wrapped it round me. I tiptoed past Gina's room trying not to wake her. I headed to Luke and Jai's room and slowly opened their door. Neither of them were there...they must've slept downstairs. I crept down the stairs slowly, avoiding tripping over the big duvet cover and found Jai, Luke crashed out on the sofa. I could see that the TV was still on. They must've been watching it before eventually drifting off to sleep as they were all still in their clothes from the previous day. Then I scanned the room until I saw Beau lying on the floor. He only had a cushion to lie on, poor thing. I headed over to the boys and glanced at each of them. Nope they were all totally dead. But I could hear Jai snoring slightly...Another sign of them being asleep.

I quietly walked over to Beau and lay down next to him. Even in just a vest top and shorts I could feel the warmth of his body against mine. I placed the duvet over him so that it covered both of us. This is where I wanted to be; surrounded by the people who care for me..well, two of them anyway.

I was awoken the next morning by the faint sounds of people whispering around me. I kept my eyes closed, pretending to still be fast asleep. I could make out Beau's deep voice followed by Luke's shaky voice.

"But I can't even remember what happened...I was just so drunk, Beau. I..I...."

"You what? You're sorry? Because after what you've done, you've got a lot of explaining and apologising to do."

"I told you I was sorry ok."

"Don't apologise to me you dumbass, you should be apologising to Kayla. You hurt her, Luke. Seeing you with that girl broke her heart. You better make it up to her and if she decides to make it up to you, we'll then frankly, you're one lucky bastard."

At this moment, I pretended I had just woken up. I opened my eyes to see Luke. He was slouching on the chair with his head in his hands. He looked devastated...I sat up and looked around. Beau was on the other chair staring at me, putting on a smile.

"Morning Kayla. How are you? Did you sleep ok?" Asked Beau

"Morning. Umm well I couldn't get to sleep at first so I think I just came down here and fell asleep with you guys.

Then I looked over to Luke. He looked like he wanted to speak but couldn't quite find it in him to start talking to me.

*cough cough* Beau started quietly coughing as Luke looked up at him, then at me.

"Ok, Kayla...Look...I..I don't quite remember everything that happened last night but I swear to god I'm sorry with all my heart and I will make it up to you somehow. I promise. Until then, you have every right to be mad at me. I know what I did was unacceptable but-"

"Luke, what you did to me completely crushed me. I don't think I've ever been so angry with you in all my life."

"I know, but-"

"But, I understand that you were utterly pissed out of your head. So obviously you had no idea what the hell you were doing. I am willing to forgive you but-" Luke cut me off and before I knew it, he crashed his lips against mine.

Oh how I had urged for a kiss from him..he placed one hand under my chin and positioned the other hand behind my head. I wrapped my arms around his body, pulling him closer to me. I could feel his warm body against mine. I could detect each and every heartbeat as it spiralled out of control. After finishing our make-up-kiss, he leaned back and stared and smiled at me, as if he was just waiting for me to reply to him. I didn't need to use words- my face said it all. I had the biggest smile on my face and I felt like I could release a deep sigh. Everything really was going to get better.

"Kayla Ives, I love you."

"I love you too, Luke Brooks." I replied back with a cheeky wink.

Jai walked into the room and saw us embraced in each others arms, smiling at eachother like crazy.

"Oh so I see you two have made up?" Asked Jai

I smiled at Jai, then turned straight back to Luke "we most defiantly have!" I stared deeply into Luke's warm brown eyes. They were so perfect. The feeling you get when you stare into them is indescribable. It's like you never want to look away, as if you're lost in them.

Luke looked down at my stomach and slowly lifted my top until it was showing. He placed one hand on the surface of it and closed his eyes. He looked like he was expecting to feel movement from it.

I giggled "Luke, it's a bit too early in the pregnancy to feel anything! This little guy is still small!"

"Well you never know, miracles do happen!"

"Yes, but maybe not today." I placed my hand on top of Luke's and he intertwined his fingers in mine.

"Ok maybe not today but when he does start kicking, you tell me straight away, deal?"

"It's a deal."
