Oblivious Hearts (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 15 (Epilogue)

 Epilogue (One Year Later)

I had just finished class in college and my day was done. I was so exhausted. I had finished all my assignments and done extra shifts at the nearby café at work so I could take a few days off.

I looked at the date. July 17th. 3 days before Luke comes home from tour. A lot has changed since the Australia tour one year ago. Luke and I have been together ever since. But like many celebrity couples, it's been hard. He's all over the world and I'm right here. We always manage.

Since the tour finished he had wrote another song with Michael called: Beside You. He told me he was thinking of me one night in bed. He told me he had missed my warmth and hugs. I told him I missed his.

Everything had changed so suddenly and quickly but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I will never forget the moment I heard Luke singing Try Hard to me and the way his eyes never left mine in a crowd filled with thousands of people.

I knew then I had to tell him how I felt. He did too. The timing was right. We were right.

If I asked myself one year ago where would I be in a year I don't think I would have known the answer but nonetheless I wouldn't have said that I would be in college, dating Luke Hemmings and finally free of my father.

I texted my mother to tell her I would come see her on the weekend as I sat down on a bench near my college. Music major was the right choice for me. It's what I've always wanted.

I glanced around my surroundings, filled with college students making haste. Then I see blonde hair and a leather jacket and I hardly believe my eyes. I don't even have time to think, my body just runs to him. He embraces me like he always has, never wanting to let go.

"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be home for another three days." I said to him.

He wraps his arms around my waist. "I couldn't wait any longer. I spent a long time waiting for you to be mine, I don't want to waste anymore time. I missed you."

His forehead touches mine. "I missed you too, Luke."

"You're beautiful in every way and I love you, Calista Boupre." Luke says as he leans in for a kiss.

"Love you too." I kiss him back. I sigh halfway, thinking about the little time we have together.

"I made plans; you don't have to worry about a thing. I'm not going anywhere for a while. We have time." He said. He always knows what's on my mind. Just like he did on the tour bus many nights ago.

"I just want to be with you." I admit.

"I promised you we would make work."

"And we always have." I agreed.

"It's all worth it. To be with you." He looked at me with his blue eyes and I knew that I would be looking at them for quite a while.
