Boy With The Cinderblock Garden (Luke Hemmings AU/Fanfiction)

Part 1: 16

A/n: for this chapter, and many more chapters to come, I will be listing song(s) at the beginning of it. Many of the songs actually have lyrics that pertain to what's going on in the chapter, and others are just songs I think have a nice vibe and sound that would sound good during the chapter if it were a scene in a movie or TV show. I highly suggest listening to the song(s) after, during, or before reading the chapter.

This chapter's soundtrack:
-If I Fell by The Beatles
-Bloom by Paper Kites
-James Dean and Audrey Hepburn by Sleeping With Sirens

After our movie date/hangout, Liana and I drove Ashton and Nella back to their houses, and then continued the day with just the two of us. I wanted to take her somewhere cool, but she claimed there was nothing cool around here. Since this town is less than 2 hours away from Niagara Falls and I had ever been there before, we decided to go there. Liana has already been there plenty of times, but she didn't object to going.

We talked a lot on the way there. We also listened and sang along to a lot of music that we both loved. I was starting to tell her even more about life in Australia and my childhood. We talked about our goals, and college and what we wanted to do in the future. I had never shared so much with a girl before, but Liana made it easy to be myself. There was only a small portion of my life from last year I didn't tell her about, but it just wasn't the time yet.

We got to the Falls, and it was beautiful. There were thousands of tourists there, but all I could pay attention to was Liana.

The two of us stood next to the railing looking over the falls, our arms around each other's waists.

She looked up at me and said, "Has anyone ever told you how beautiful and piercing your eyes are? They're even bluer than the Niagara Falls!"

"I've heard how blue and nice they are sometimes times before, but it means more coming from you."

I leaned in and kissed her. We had kissed before, but there was something about standing right next to a giant, beautiful waterfall that made it magical and the best one so far.

"Liana?" I said.

"Luke?" She said, gazing up at me with huge eyes, while giggling a bit.

"I love you." I said, completely meaning it. I was afraid to love again, but somehow standing here, I wasn't afraid anymore and everything felt so right.

"I love you too." Liana said. We kissed again and my life felt perfect.

A/n: this is the end of Part 1. There will be 3 parts to this Fanfiction.
