he look anxious and nervous and kept looking at me as we walked, wondering if i was ok doing this. i ignored and him and walked to my parents.

"these are my parents," i said quietly. "they died a couple of months before luke did, which was awful." i started to tear up. "i just wish that they could see me now, in college and starting a new life for myself."

"hey, hey, ella it's okay," he said wrapping his arms around me and pulling me into his chest. i let go of all of my tears. "they are. they can see you from wherever they are, and they're so so proud of you. i bet luke is too."

i sobbed some more at that. "i'm so sorry that i'm like this right now, i didn't mean to cry much."

"it's ok," he said smiling as i looked up at him. "i wanna have a word though."

i looked at him confused.

"with your parents," he finished.

"oh, okay," i smiled. i stepped back as he squatted next to the graves.

"hi mr and mrs summers. my name is calum hood and i am the new boyfriend of your beautiful, smart, wonderful daughter. i never really prepared for a talk with my girlfriend's parents, but i'll try my best. i'm taking care of her, right el?"

he back at me. i nodded.

"she confirmed that i was. i'm here for her and you don't meed to worry about her. i love your daughter with my whole heart. all of it and i'd never hurt her. it's a shame that i don't get to meet you right now, but we will someday."

i was still kinda shocked that he basically just confessed that he was in love with me. he stood up and looked at me, "everything okay?"

i grabbed his shoulders and pulled him towards me, kissing him. "i love you calum, i'm in love with you." he smiled and i kissed him again.

i led the way to luke's grave. i wanted to talk to him about my life now, even though he won't hear me. calum stopped about 10 feet before we got to luke.

"what?" i asked.

"don't you want to talk?"

"oh."

i walked over to it, and saw the big, brass letters. i swallowed and cleared my throat to say something.

"i-i-uh. *clears throat again*. i don't really know how to start anymore. it's been a while since i've been here. i uh, i'm doing well in nyu luke, it's great. i have friends there, and i have a job. i miss you a lot luke, everyday. but it doesn't hurt like it used to and i've made that clear in the letters.
i have a boyfriend now and he's made of gold (a/n: halsey asf ;), and i love him. he makes me happy luke and i did what you told me to. i found love again and i'm ok. i made it through the storm and i did it all by myself and i'm f.ucking proud luke. i d-don't know what else to say, but i'm ok. you still shouldn't of left, but i'm glad i met calum. he means the absolute world to me and he loves me. i just-just, yeah."

i went over and grabbed calum and brought him over. "introduce yourself," i said even though i was weird for talking to dead people (but so did he).

"hi luke. my name is calum and i'm ella's boyfriend. i hope you're okay with that and just know that i'll take care of her for you and i love her. that's all i have to say."

i went over to pick a little flower that was growing, and plucked it and next to his name. me and calum stood there for a while, me just staring at luke's grave. my eyes teared up a little but i didn't cry.

after about 10 minutes, my legs were killing me and i could tell calum was ready to go, even though he didn't say anything. "lets go, i'm sorry we stayed this long."

"it's ok," he chuckled.

we walked back to the house, ate dinner, visited with the hemmings' and fell asleep.
