Charity's P.O.V.

"Hey Luke! Thanks for meeting with me!" I greeted as he sat down at my table at Kaffeböna.

"Hi Charity, what's up?" He asked, taking a sip of the drink he ordered.

"Uh, so Levi, told me I had to tell someone, and I wasn't about to tell Joel or Moriah because they would try to persuade me out of it, and well, I uh." I rambled making him laugh, "okay, gonna cut to the chase, Levi and I decided the best thing to do was elope. He wanted to make sure, in case of emergency, someone knows where we are. You and his sister are the only people that we can think of that will, well, keep their mouths shut about it. We don't want people to know, but again, stuff happens and we may be needed."

He nodded and it looked like he was processing everything I had just said. "I'm happy for you Charity, you are handling this with great maturity. But if I'm allowed to know, because I'm so honored I was told about this eloping, where are you going?"

"Oh, we aren't going far, just to Walhalla, South Carolina."

"Why there?"

"The Sumter national forest has a beautiful waterfall, we want to get married by it."

"Wow, married by a waterfall, sounds fun."

"I hope it is! This will be my first time leaving the Nashville/Franklin area, so it's exciting!"

"You've never left the area?"

"No, my parents never travelled, so neither did I."

"That's too bad, there's so much world to see! But, I forgot to ask, when are you leaving?"

"Oh, yeah! Uh, we are driving there early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, how long will you be gone?"

"5 days, we signed the marriage license today, so we are marrying tomorrow evening, then staying in Walhalla for 3 days. We are going to stop on our way back to Nashville and stay in Atlanta for 2 days."

"Okay, so Kai is going with you?"

"Uh, no, we just don't see how this will work with a three year old. That sounds kind of terrible but, he will be a handful and Levi and I know, this is the only time we'll have without a kid around."

"I understand, who is he staying with?"

"Vania, Levi's sister, she takes care of him in the mornings now."

"Okay, how about you give Vania my number, that way, in case something comes up, I can take Kai for her."

"Alright, I'll do that! Thank you!"

"Absolutely! Thank you for trusting me with your secret."

"Yeah, well, you're a trustworthy person, so..."

He let out a small chuckle and stood up, I followed suit and stood as well. I was about to thank Luke again but caught him off guard with a hug instead.

"Thank you so much, I really appreciate it." I smiled, handing him a piece of paper. "This is where we'll be staying, so if you can't get a hold of us, you can at least contact the the hotel to find us. I also have Vania's number on here, and I'll make sure Levi gives her yours."

"You are well prepared. Have fun and enjoy your time with Levi. I need to get band meeting." Luke told me giving me a side hug, "but I'll see you in a few days."

I smiled and hugged him back. "Okay! Thanks Luke!"

Luke's P.O.V.

I arrive at the studio and the others are already waiting for me.

"You're late!" Joel exclaimed, with a "seriously" look.

"Sorry about that, I had to... be at another meeting this morning."

"Okay..." was the response I got along with a skeptical look.

Afterwards, Joel followed me to my car.

"Another meeting?" He questioned, knowing their was more to it.

"Yes, another meeting, it went longer I expected. I'm sorry for not being here on time."

"It's fine, I just wanted to make sure everything's okay."

"Oh, yeah, everything's great."

"Alright." He started walking away, but turned around moments later, "I forgot to tell you, mum and dad invited the family and Levi over, I don't know who's coming yet, but I wanted to be sure you knew."

"Okay, thanks man, I'll check with Courtney. Also, I don't think Charity and Levi will be there, she mentioned something about them going out last time I saw her."

"So she'll talk to you, but not anyone else."

"It's just because Levi's sister and I take turns watching Kai."

"Mhm, well I'll see you later."

"Yep, see you then."

A/N- sorry for the short, suckish filler chapter, and long wait!! I have been writing this chapter for weeks, I started working nights, which is when I usually write, so my stories were lowered on my list of priorities. Sorry, but thanks for reading, you're fabulous!
