Things like this, don't normally happen. Good things like Luke, or any of my other friends. Something bad always happens making that good thing get torn apart, trust me, I known a lot about good things getting torn apart by bad things. Let's take Kate ruining my relationship back in high school for example. Two years back I heard she moved to New York as well, we saw each other and she smirked before walking away with a guy attached to her hip.

Things like Kate ruin everything good in life. But when something like this happens, it makes me forget about all the bad things such as Luke cheating on me or my mum dying.

I hadn't gotten around to unpacking everything, all my things from America I practically gave away, really. Eve had most of the shoes I didn't need and Lila took all the jeans that didn't fit me anymore. Half of my stuff was either in boxes or with someone else. So when I walked into my room with a smiling Luke behind me to see everything from my old room was in there I couldn't help but tear up a little.

All my Panic! At The Disco posters and novelties hug around the walls. My clothes out away and in my closet. A giant teddy bear with some Roses -wow Luke- sitting on my bed. Pictures of my mother and I, Luke and I in graduation. Everything from my old room back at the home my mother and I shared, was in my new room.

"I kind of wanted to one-up her." He shrugged, scratching his neck awkwardly. "You like it right? I mean I have another present but-" I cut him off by wrapping my arms tightly around his large body.

"Thank you Luke." I grinned, quickly wiping away the tears that slipped from my eyes. "I love it, so much." He grinned again, pulling a small box from his pocket. I looked at it with furrowed eyebrows when he opened it.

A small charm bracelet was revealed. Each of the charms was something that made me happy. A small camera, the Statue Of Liberty, a L -meaning Luke-, a small little triangle (Luke said it was a Dorito), little flip flops because of my love of the beach, and my mum's initials. He really thought of it all. This time tears rapidly fell from my eyes as I kept looking at the charm bracelet.

"Rose? Why are you crying?" He questioned, grabbing ahold of my face and wiping the tears away with his thumb. I shook my head, letting out a shaky laugh.

"You, you're the reason I'm crying, Luke Hemmings. You confuse me to no end, you make me happier, and more pissed off, than any person I've ever met, you put up with my shit, but most of all you love me. You love someone as messed up and damaged as me. You love a girl that doesn't deserve you. I'm in love with you, don't ever let me not say it to you. I don't deserve you, you've done so much for me since I've came back." I wiped a tear away, locking eyes with Luke. "I love you, I love you so much."

"That's great to know, because I love you as well, Roselyn Winton." He mimicked me. I rolled my eyes, slapping his chest.

"I have something to tell you." Grace said out of the blue. She picked at the egg on her plate, glancing at me every couple of seconds. I locked eyes with her when Maddie walked in, holding up a pizza box and grinning widely. She set it down in front of us and opened the box, instantly I was met with the smell of sausage. Grace held her mouth, running to the bathroom. Maddie and I glanced at each other before walking into the bathroom seeing Grace vomiting up everything she just ate.

"Woah, Grace, are you okay?!" Maddie yelped, crouching down beside me as I held Grace's hair back. Grace sat back up, wiping her mouth with a sigh. Maddie flushed the toilet, her nose scrunched up as she gave Grace an accusing glare.

"Grace," I started, watching as she ran her fingers through her hair. "what were you going to tell me?" I asked cautiously. Suddenly, Grace burst into tears, burying her head into my shoulder. Maddie and I looked at each other before I started stroking her hair, not really sure what to do.

"I-I'm pregnant." She blurted through her tears. "Ashton and I, we you know..... And he doesn't know. I don't know what to do!" She sobbed, running her hands over her face. I stopped stroking her hair, freezing. The only think going through my mind was, Ashton is going freak the fuck out.

"What?" Maddie and I both screeched. Grace burst into tears again, putting her head between her knees.

''You're supposed to say it's okay,'' She whimpered through her tears. I sighed, rubbing her back as she sobbed loudly. ''Tell me what to do.'' She sniffed, wiping her snot with her sleeve. I bit my lip, removing my hand from her back.

''I suggest you call Ash, tell him before you get to far along or start to show.'' Grace let out a shaky breath, slumping her shoulders. Maddie frowned, rubbing her arm in some kind of support.

''Give me the phone.'' She muttered sadly, holding her hand out. Maddie grinned, attempting to pull her phone out of her pocket but fumbled a few times. Grace giggled, grabbing Maddie's phone, dialing Ashton's number. She shooed us out, giving me a small smile. I shoved Maddie out, giving Grace a thumbs up before slamming the door behind me.

''Call Anna, tell her to get her ass over here asap. I'll be in my room.'' Maddie nodded, pursing her lips together. I gave her a reassuring smile, turning around and walking back to my room. ''Yell when Anna gets here!'' I shouted. My phone buzzed in my pocket but I ignored it, flopping onto my bed. So, Grace is pregnant and I have no idea where her brother and I stand, the Hemmings will be the death of me.
