Falling for Luke Hemmings

Falling for Luke

Amanda's pov:
We were now at Luke's house and I was in the living room watching TV. Luke was in the kitchen fixing a sandwich. I couldn't find anything to watch on the TV so I continued to flip through the channels. "Hey." Luke said taking a seat next to me. "Want a sandwich?" He asked handing out a plate with an extra sandwich on it. I looked down at the food and felt disgust. Not in the way that it looked, but in the way that I felt.

I shook my head and looked back at the TV. I noticed Luke frowning and furrowing his eyebrows. "Are you not hungry?" He asked. "Uh.. no. Not really haha." I persuaded. "Are you sure?" He questioned. "I'm sure.." I responded. I watched as he set the plate on the coffee table and then positioned himself to face me. "Why didn't you come back to class today?" He asked. I could feel my ears burning.

I cleared my throat casually and turned to face him as well. "I was just fixing my hair." I said blankly. "Really? It took you that long to just put your hair in a bun?" Luke asked doubtfully. I slowly nodded my head with a slight frown. "Babe.. I've seen you put your hair up before.. it only took you like two seconds.." he retaliated. "Tell me the real reason.." he said in all seriousness.

I really wasn't in the mood to start crying again. "I was just.." I paused. "Just what?" Luke questioned again. "I don't know.." I sighed. "Yes you do.. babe, what's wrong?" He asked grabbing my hand and rubbing his thumb over my skin. "I.. I was crying." I admitted. "Why?" He asked worried now. "I don't know.. I just looked in the mirror and.. I felt.. I felt like everything just went down hill. Like I was alone.. like I'm ugly.. like I'm heavy on my feet.. like there's no hope.." I said blankly.

Luke listened to every word I said trying to figure out what was wrong with me. "What are you talking about? Babe, you are not ugly.. and you're not heavy on your feet. and you're definitely not alone. I'm here.. I've always been here for you.." Luke said in a soft voice. I nodded my head slowly feeling tears build up. "Why would you think that?" He asked pulling me into a hug. "I don't know.. I just.. I don't feel like myself." I responded.

Luke let go of me and looked back into my eyes which caused intimidation. "Listen to me, you are beautiful. You're perfect just the way you are. You're not alone. I love and care about you so so much." He said placing his hand on my cheek. I nodded my head in response. "You should be happy.. you're dad is coming back home.." he said trying to cheer me up. I then thought about the fight mum and I got into again. "Luke can we not talk about this please?" I asked getting emotional. He nodded his head and pulled my into his side to cuddle. "I'm sorry.." he whispered.

Luke's pov:
Nothing was working. I was trying so hard to make Amanda happy. No matter what I did, I couldn't get her to smile. for some reason, she started thinking negative of herself. I didn't want her to. She's so beautiful. She's the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I love her so much and I just want her to be happy.

She didn't want to talk about her dad so I decided to stop asking questions, and we just watched TV for a little bit. I wasn't sure of what to do or say so I just waited for her to talk first. In all honesty, I was afraid. I didn't want her to do something wreckless. The more I thought about it, the more my grip got tighter on her. I didn't realize it at first until she started loosening my arm up.

"Luke?" She said looking up at me. "Yeah, princess?" I asked looking down at her. "I'm sorry.." she began. "For what?" I asked. "For taking this out on you.. I don't try to.. I'm just stressed out I guess." She reassured. "Babe, it's okay. I understand. I just  want you to be happy." I told her. "I know.. I love you so much. Can you forgive me?" She asked sitting up and pressing her lips to mine.

I got that same feeling. The butterflies in my stomach every time we kissed. "Of course I forgive you." I said kissing her back.

Our love was different than any other love. We understood each other. We knew what each other was thinking. I knew when she was upset. I knew when she felt uncomfortable or disgusted. She was disgusted with the sandwich I made. Of course it was judt like any other sandwich she had eaten. She was starving herself and I  had to put an end to it.

I stopped kissing her and she pulled back starring at me. "Eat." I demanded. She didn't say anything except for just stare. "Please." I begged. I reached over to the coffee table and grabbed the plate with the sandwich on it. I watched as she just looked at the food. "I can't." She responded. I shook my head. "You can." I persuaded. She looked back up at me and then down at the food again. "For every bite you take, I'll kiss you.. but if you don't eat it, then you get nothing.." I reassured.

She slowly grabbed the plate and began eating the sandwich until it was fully gone. For every bite she took, I left a soft kiss on her skin. After she finished it, I raised back up to her. "You're so beautiful." I whispered and pressed my lips to hers once more.

Amanda's pov:
As much as I hated it, I was forced to eat. Luke kissed me for every bite I took. Why is he not giving up? I don't understand.. it's just a thing right?

The later it got, the more sleepy I got. I fell asleep on the couch and felt that Luke picked me up from the couch and carried me up to his bedroom. He carefully laid me in the bed and covered me up. The blankets were warm against my legs and arms so I cuddled my face into the pillow.

Luke got in the bed as well and wrapped his arms around me. I started feeling better by the minute. I truly loved Luke. He was the only one who could ever make me feel different. It was a good different.

I turned to face him and buried my face into his chest as his shirt was soft against my face. I was finally comfortable and drifted off to sleep easily. "I love you so much baby girl." I heard Luke whisper in my ears. "I love you more." I responded. "No way." He would say.
