The Stylist ❎ {Luke Hemmings}

Chapter Fifteen

90 Days After

'Cause I can't admit that you got all the strings

And know just how tug 'em

Thankfully, Mikey had started coming back around. My feelings for him spiraled like crazy, and I couldn't understand. He hadn't tried anything and it scared me to think that he didn't feel the same way anymore.

He basically moved in, he barely left unless it was to the store or interviews. The band was surprisingly going very well, they had substituted Luke's vocals and guitar with the other boys. There were songs where Ashton would just leave the drums and sing. The stage presence just was not the same.

 I heard a knock at my door and I got up to answer it but Mikey just glared at me. He opened the door and I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Michael. Where's Ava?" Liz asked. He brought her in to the living room where she sat next to me. "I'm sorry I couldn't come see you sooner. How's the little one?" She asked, placing her hand on my still growing stomach.

"He's a little trouble maker already. He'll be just like Luke," I gave her a small smile. That statement made her eyes light up.

"You'll go through hell raising this one, then." She laughed. I smiled again, and Mikey went into the kitchen to make some coffee for Liz. "What's going on with Michael? Are you two together?" She questioned. I shook my head.

"No, we're not. Luke wouldn't want me to be with his best friend." I replied softly. She grabbed my hand.

"Luke would want you to be with whoever makes you happy, even if it's Michael - especially if it's Michael." Liz replied, Mikey walking back into the room after that with a cup of coffee for Liz and some juice for me.

"Sorry, Aves, no caffeine." He told me, handing me the juice box.

"You couldn't get the juice that's not in the box?" I laughed.

"Nope," He replied, popping the 'p'. I rolled my eyes and Liz tried to hide her smile by drinking her coffee slowly.

"I'll visit more, but I've got to go now. Ben needs me," She smiled, and I nodded. She rinsed out her cup in the sink and exited the house.

Was she right? Would Luke be okay with this? I sure hoped so because I would feel really bad if not. I mean, considering what was about to happen. Neither of us could really recall how it happened, but we ended up kissing.

I didn't think it could be true

Let alone that it would be you

I think I'm in love again

I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love

"I'm sorry, Ava, you said you didn't -"

"Shut up," I interrupted him, kissing him again.

(A/N So this is really short but I really needed to update this and let everybody who's reading this know that I love you all. So yes, Michael and Ava are happening, and I know it's a Luke fanfic but in the end, there'll be a good reason why. There will be 19 or 20 chapters plus an epilogue.

XOXO,

Haley)
