Aprils pov.

I woke up and rubbed my eyes,stretching out my arms. I looked at my phone and saw it was already about half way through the day. I swung my legs around the bed, getting up and putting on my dressing gown and deciding to go downstairs.

Luke was watching something on the TV dressed in joggy bottoms and a black T-shirt. "Sorry,I didn't want to wake you up" luke said turning to me. "It's okay" I shrugged. "There's some pancakes on the side" luke said and I nodded, picking up my pace running into the kitchen to get food.

It was now the weekend and I had been so tired so sleeping in felt amazing. Ashton's classes were quite fun but still quite tiring and I had been really busy trying to keep up with Kelly and the others aswell as doing homework and spending some time with luke. I rushed into the room and grabbed a plate reaching for two pancakes and sitting at the table.

I ate them within a minute and washed up my plate. I stuck my head around the door grabbing lukes attention, "you okay sweetie?" Luke asked making my heart skip a beat but I managed not to blush. "Could I ring Kelly and see if she picks up?" I asked and he nodded. "Are you missing her?" He asked and I nodded. "Sorry sweetie" he sighed. "It's not your fault" I said shrugging it off and walked towards the phone.

I managed to type the numbers in despite my shaking hands and I put the phone to my ear. One ring...two rings...three rings...four rings...okay one more I told myself, one more ring and you'll hang up. Five rings... Okay,one more. Six rings...seven rings...okay,so I lied! But I miss them so much. I want to see them so badly but I can't, I've been so busy I haven't had time to miss them but now I'm free, I miss them so much and I can't take the pain.

"Sweetie" luke whispered behind me, "they're not gonna pick up now" he whispered softly gently taking the phone from me and putting it down. I felt a tear slowly fall down my cheek and I looked down, I felt luke hold me tightly as more tears fell. "I m-miss t-t-hem" I hiccupped as luke slowly rocked me side to side and playing with my hair softly. "I know,I know" he whispered.

My whole body was now shaking and I gripped on to luke tighter. "I really hate seeing you so upset" luke whispered. "I should be tougher but I'm not, I let everything get to me" I said still in lukes arms. "Hey, don't say that, you've been through loads,sometimes its good to cry and your alot stronger than you know" he said and I nodded as he kissed my head.

"You can ring them back in a couple of hours and you can stay talking for as long as you want,yeah" he smiled softly pulling away slowly and I nodded.  I didn't know what to do know. I just felt like crawling into my bed and doing nothing. My body felt like it was going to fall.

Lukes pov.

I looked down at April and my heart shattered. Her whole body was shaking,her eyes were red and raw but she was still so beautiful.

I wanted to tell her so badly right there and then. I wanted to hood her and make her smile.

I would always know how to make cheer her up. I was the only one who could make her smile while she was upset.

"Hey,how about you have a shower or bath or something? It might relax you?" I shrugged and she nodded again. She turned to me, "thank you luke" she whispered. "Stop saying thank you April, you don't need to" I smiled and she smiled and jogged up stairs.

Suddenly my phone buzzed and I unlocked seeing I had a text from calum.

Mate I don't know what to do! Perrie has lost it and I can't calm her down this time.

Before I could even reply I got another text.

She won't stop crying. It's killing her to know Aprils here.

Oh no...

Would should I do. My fingers lingered over the letters on the keyboard as I thought about what I could type. My mind was blank. I thought of April up stairs unaware of how so many people love her and miss her.

She didn't realise how important she was to so many people.

(Luke
           Calum)

Where are you now?

At home. But she started crying and looking at pictures of her and April. Then she started screaming and I can't calm her down.

Take the pictures away for a while that might help.

I have but that just made her more upset!

Maybe let her scream and let out her anger? Make sure you stay with her,tell her you love her.

Thanks. She's calmed down now. Thanks mate. But please make April remember. I want her back,we all do. Have a good day.

I am. I'll get her back. And no one will take her away from us again.

I pressed send and locked my phone, walking into the living room I threw my phone on the sofa and sighed. Maybe this was the day I tell her. Maybe I should just take a deep breath and throw the nerves aside and tell April who I really am.

She needs to know and i think its time I tell her.

Luke,promise me you'll tell her when she comes down stairs. You have to tell her.

                   You have to tell her who you are.

It's short but next chapter will get interesting...hehehe. I bet you hate me right now.

But get ready to cry next chapter!!!! Hahahaha!
Hugs+kisses
