Luke's POV:

I heard my phone ring. "Hello?" I sleepily answered. "Hey Lukey." It was Jackie. "Uh hey." I replied. "You awake sleepy head? It's like 10am." She giggled. "I'm awake now." I said. "So I was thinking that we should hang out together on your last day." Jackie said. "Um that would be great but I kind of promised my family I would spend some time with them before I left." I lied. I wanted to see if Aria was free.

"Aw okay. I'll see you at the airport then." She said. "Okay see you." I said. "I love you Luke." She said softly. I was surprised. "I love you too." I said quietly and hung up.

Why did I say I loved her? She was a good friend and yeah I liked her but love her? I'm not sure. I rolled out of bed and took a shower.

When I finished I threw on some jeans and a plan dark blue shirt. I put the necklace Aria bought me for my birthday, around me neck and grabbed my jacket and my beanie then headed downstairs.

I grabbed some breakfast the called Aria when I finished. "Hello." She answered. "Hey Aria." I said. "Oh hi." Aria said quietly. "Uhm. I didn't see you after you walked out of the Truth and Dare game." I said. "Yeah. I, uh, I was afraid that they might ask me another weird question or dare me to do something stupid." Aria replied. "Oh okay." I said uneasily. There was silence.

"So. You and Jackie." She suddenly said. "What about us?" I asked. "Nothing. I'm just happy for you two. I know she liked you so I'm just glad you two finally got together." Aria said. "Thanks." I replied. I wanted to believe she truly was happy, but for some reason, I couldn't.

"Since today's my last day before I tour with One Direction, I was thinking we could hang out. You and me. Then possibly catch up with the others for dinner." I suggested. "Sounds good." Aria replied sounding more happier. "Great! I'll pick you up in a few minutes." I said. "Okay I'll be waiting." She replied, and hung up.

Aria's POV:

I dressed into some skinny jeans and I threw on my Aztec shirt. I grabbed my over sized Mickey Mouse hoodie and slipped on my black vans. I left my long hair down and grabbed my phone, wallet, and keys.

I walked into the kitchen and said, "Mel, Ken, I'm going out with Luke and some friends for the day since its his last day." Kenneth looked at me, "What time will you be home?" I shrugged. "Just don't come home at 3am." Melissa said. "Thanks!" I hugged Melissa and Kenneth then headed out to wait at the porch.

Luke came shortly after. I watched his every step. I watched how his blue eyes wandered around and how his headed slightly bobbed up and down as he listened to music.

I got up as he got closer. "Hey." He gave me a warm smile. I returned the smile. "Where do we go first?" I asked. "I was thinking the mall, just walk around, get some Starbucks. Just like old times." Luke said. I nodded my head and we started for the mall.

We spent 2 hours enjoying ourselves and laughing. We bought each other some stuff and even got each other matching bracelets.

"Oh oh! Remember the time when we were being chased by the mall cop because you decided that it was safe to skate in the mall." Luke laughed. "Yeah then I got in trouble." I replied. We were having such a good time that I almost forgot all that happened. He always had that effect on me. Whenever we were together I always forgot about my problems and enjoyed whatever we were doing.
