-this chapter is prob gonna suck sorry guys-

Luke's POV

"You're sure it's ok if I stay here?" Ashton asks for the millionth time.

I laugh, "yes Ashton it's ok. I understand its hard for you to be back in that house."

"There's just so many bad memories of my dad. It makes things worse," he sighs.

"I know. I'm totally ok with it. You can stay as long as you need. Does Heather know you're staying here?" I ask.

"No she thinks I'm staying at my house. I haven't talked to her in a few days though. I miss her."

"You should go over there while Diamonds here  tonight. I could drop you off," I suggest.

"It's ok I can walk, it's not that far. But I'll be sure to get out. Don't want to ruin your big night," he smiles.

I laugh, "thanks. I hate that the restaurant   screwed up. I've had those reservations forever! I can't believe they just couldn't find them. Oh well I think the dinner we made will be delicious!"

"I hope so. I mean I have barely cooked besides the stuff they made me cook at the asylum. That was so stupid. Like someone would leave there and become a chef," he rolls his eyes and I laugh.

"Hey you never know," I shrug and he laughs too.

"So what is exactly going on with you and Heather?" He asks as he hands me a soda from the fridge.

"I'm not sure, we've only been on one date."

"Well that's good! Where'd you go?"

"We went the the beach and then she showed me the cove. It was so beautiful," he smiles as he thinks of the memories.

"Did you guys kiss?"

"Maybe," he smirks.

"Cmon Ashton I'm not your therapist anymore!" I laugh.

"Yeah fine we kissed. But we haven't talked since then, I just think she's buy with work and everything."

"I can give her more days off if you want," I shrug.

"No don't do that, she loves her job."

"Well there has been some drama with Calum so that might be why she hasn't talked to you. Pretty messed up stuff," I shake my head.

"What kind of stuff?" Ashton asks.

"I actually can't tell you that, confidentially rules of the asylum, you'll have to figure it out from Calum himself."

"Oh alright makes sense."

"Well it's almost 6 so I should probably shower and get decent before Diamond comes. God I'm so nervous!" I say as I wipe my sweaty hands on my pants.

"No need to be. She'll say yes, I know it," Ashton smiles and pats me on the back.

"Thanks man, see you later?"

"Yeah maybe! I might stay at Heather's it just all depends," he tells me.

"Alright well be safe," I wink.

"Ha ha very funny! Good luck tonight!" He says and with that I'm left alone with my thoughts.

I was nervously setting the center piece that Ashton helped me buy at the store when there was a knock on the door. Diamond was here. I take a deep breathe and walk to open the door, fixing my tie as I pass the mirror on the wall.

"Hey," I smile when I open the door.

"Hey babe," she said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"You look beautiful," I say and she follows me into the kitchen.

"Thank you. So what's the big occasion? Why'd you tell me to dress so fancy?"

"Well I figured since we were going to go to your favorite restaurant then they screwed up my reservations we might as well get fancy and eat dinner here!" I smile.

"Oh yeah that makes sense. It was very sweet of you to make me dinner," she smiles.

"I can't take all the credit, Ashton helped me some. Who knew that boy could cook?"

We laugh and I poor her a glass of wine.

"Is he doing ok? Ashton, I mean he's only been out for a week," Diamond asks.

"Yeah he's been doing really well. He's staying here and hanging out with Heather a lot which I know helps him. They help each other and that's really good in a relationship like there's."

"It really is. Ashton is such a sweet guy people just judge him too soon," she says and I agree.

Moments later the oven timer goes off and I go and retrieve the casserole. I carry it over and place it in the center of the table.

"Here I'll get you some," I say as I scoop some out of the dish and put it on Diamonds plate.

She laughs, "why is your hand so shaky?"

"Oh uh I don't know. Probably low blood sugar," I lie.

We eat our meal and talk and laugh. Towards the end of the meal I tell Diamond that I'm going to get the dessert. It's a chocolate cake, her favorite, and it's decorated with vanilla icing and pink letters. It says "Will you marry me?" With a little ring under it. I fiddle around in my pocket and find the ring I'll be proposing with.

"Hey close your eyes!" I yell out to Diamond.

"What why?" She yells back.

"I, uh, made you a special dessert! Just close your eyes!"

"Ok! They're closed!"

I take a deep breathe and pick up the cake, carrying it out to the table. I set it down in front of her, "can I open my eyes yet?" She asks.

"Uh," I say as I get down on one knee, pulling out the ring, "now you can."

She opens her eyes and looks at the cake and gasps. She turns to me and covers her mouth like all girls do when their surprised or excited.

"Will you marry me, Diamond?" I ask.

"Oh my God, Luke! Yes of course I will!" She says and I jump up and hug her then I place the ring on her finger.

"I love you so much," I say giving her a kiss.

"I love you too."
