"Luke?" my mother greeted. She was taken aback when she saw us together. Wow, he really must be that famous.

Her eyes shifted back at me. She shook her head, "My Brynn," she hugged me. She nearly squished the cake that we got her, but luckily I dodged it.

"Mom," I handed Luke the box and hugged her back. I parted from her and took the box back from Luke. "Mom, we got you some cake!"

"Brynn, never do that again. You get me all worried. I'll have to talk to you after," I placed the cake on top of our table.

"Okay," I looked down. "C'mon let's eat the cake first. Luke, come in," he was staring at my mom.

I took 3 plates, 3 forks and a cake server on our cabinets. I gently took the cake out of the box and gently placed it on top of our cake stand.

I gently cut the cakes and handed each one a slice. We sat down at our table and it was pretty quiet.

The clanging of the forks onto the plates are the only noise that can be heard across the household.

I saw the tension between my mother and Luke. "Sooo, what's all the staring about?" I sarcastically laughed.

Luke looked down at his cake and Mom, at me. "Nothing. Nothing, I'm just not used to you bringing guys at home."

I raised eyebrows. She has a point, because I never brought a guy at home. "Yeah, well uhm, this is the first and last Mom."

"Luke's on tour right now, with his friends. And he just stopped by New Jersey today," I smiled. I scraped the last piece of my slice and shoved it in my mouth.

"How'd you guys meet?" she kept glancing back and forth between the both of us. She was really acting weird. I mean, I've never seen her like this before.

"Well, to start of, he mistaken me as a girl he thought was his long lost best friend. Well, of course I'm not, right? Okay, so he called me, and I looked back and he asked me if I was his best friend blah blah blah. To cut story short, fans saw us and chased us."

"He grabbed my hand and we both ran ito the woods, then cave and a beach. Thus, explains the reason why I didn't come home. We got to learn a lot about each other, so yeah," I smiled. I stood up and placed my plate in the sink.

I don't know why I'm so scared of accepting the truth that I found him and that he found me. The necklace, the letter, the picture, Mom, everything! I am the Brynn he knows.

But no, I can't be the one. I looked for him for years and this is how fast I get to meet him? It's complicated. I know I expected this already and all but its different when you finally get to that day.

Suddenly, Luke just talked. "If it's okay, I want to get to know her more, Mrs. Clementine. She seems like a pretty interesting girl."

"What exactly are you trying to say, Luke?" My mom asked. I'm not exactly liking her tone.

"I'd like to take her the tour with me," Luke suggested. What? I'm speechless.

I looked at Luke, wide eyed. "What?" I mouthed. He turned his attention back on my mom.

"Are you crazy?" my mom sarcastically laughed. What the hell was Luke thinking? He and I both know that Mom wouldn't allow.

She's overprotective.

I grabbed the bucket of chicken and nervously ate another piece. I think I want to go? I don't know I'm scared. I'm scared of what Mom will decide.

Wait. What am I thinking? Obviously she won't allow. I was quiet. So was Luke. And Mom. We are all quiet.

I sat on top of our counter top, staring at the two while eating my KFC.

"I can assure you, she'll be safe. We have some bodyguards, some nurses for emergencies," Luke informed Mom. The way Luke was informing mom about all that, was cute.

Eww, I didn't just say that. I said nothing.

"What do you guys do? Why do you have all of those people with you on tour? Are you guys in a gang or something?" Rose asked. I can't help but chuckle slightly. I mean, does that guy look like he's taking drugs?

HAHAHAHAHA no.

"Oh, uhm, I forgot to tell you. We're in a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. Yeah, uhm we're pretty much touring around the world," he nodded.

"So you're taking my daughter with you? Around the world? She has school," mom said. Seriously, this tension Mom has towards Luke can't be just about that he wants to take me to his tour.

What is that all about Mom? Hmmm?

"Which will be ending in two weeks, Mom," I butt in. They both shifted their attention on me. Oh shit, why did I say that?

"Oh so you want to go too?"

"I do, to be honest Mom," I confessed, causing Luke to smile. "The opportunity for me to go around the world with a couple friends, is everything anyone can ever dream of."

"And if allow, when will you guys leave?" she asked. I was so happy when she said 'allow' but then duh, she won't.

"Tommorow," Luke said. "Tommorow?!" mom almost screamed.

Mom looked at me then Luke. "Luke, let's talk."

"What? Why? I don't need to go mom, you don't need to get mad at him," I jumped out of the counter top. I knew it, I shouldn't have just said that.

Mom is kind yea, but when she gets mad, oh god, i hope not. I'm so worried! What will she do?

"Brynn, it's okay," Luke laughed. He stood up from his chair and took his unfinished plate to the the sink.

"No, I'm talking to him, Brynn. Go up to your room, and you better be ready because I'm talking to you too," she said. She gestured Luke to go out the house.

I ran up to him and hugged him. Why did I do that? "Good Luck," I whispered. He went outside and so did she.

Oh god, I'm so scared.
