When the lights go out,
She's all I ever think about,
The picture burning in my brain,
Kissing in the rain,
I can't forget my English love affair,
Today,
I'm seven thousand miles away,
The movie playing in my head,
Of her king size bed,
Means I can't forget my English love affair,
My English love affair.

Sophie's POV
Tomorrow is Luke's birthday and the boys wanted to do something special to celebrate his 18th. They had all decided we were going to the mall but made Luke stay at home with me.
"So what do you want to do today?" He asked while making himself a coffee. It looked like he hadn't slept all night, to be honest: He looked a complete mess.
"Um, well we can just stay here if you want. You look like you could use some sleep." I said, watching him bring his coffee to the table and sit next to me.
"I'm fine. I was just uh- I'm a restless sleeper, that's all."
I can tell when people are lying to me, it's a skill I've spent the last 16 years mastering.
"Don't lie to me!" I said louder than I probably should've.
"I was in your room, looking after you. I was scared you might hurt yourself again so I decided to look out for you. Don't worry, I know where I stand. I slept on the floor."

Now I just felt bad.

"Come on." I put his coffee on the table and stood up, reaching for his hand.
"Where are we going?" He made a confused face and raised one eyebrow.
"Just come on." I said, dragging his hand and pulling him up the stairs, ignoring the shooting pain in my head.

I immediately regretted it because when I reached the top of the stairs, I just collapsed to the floor.

"Sophie! Are you okay?!" Luke cried next to me.
"Yeah, just lost my balance, I guess." I lied. I knew what had happened, as I had been released from hospital less that 48 hours ago.
"Come on." Luke demanded, his voice still soft.

I looked up at him from the floor because I had no energy to do anything. He was looking down towards me, not making eye contact.

He lifted me up bridal style and carried me to his room. I felt so bad for him, having to carry this weight but then relieved as he put me onto his bed.

It looked like he was about to leave, making his way to the door but I wasn't going to let that happen.
"Don't go, please? Don't leave me." I spoke quietly.
"I won't." He whispered as he came and sat next to me, playing with my hair until I fell asleep.

Luke's POV
I lay by Sophie when she fell asleep and I hadn't moved since. It had been 3 hours and the boys still weren't back. Should I be worried?

I grabbed my phone from my pocket, carefully as to not wake up the sleeping beauty lay next to me, and scrolled through my contacts until I found the boys.

To: Cal x
Well Sophie is asleep again. I need you guys to come home straight away, something's wrong. Xx

From: Cal x
Shit, uh, we're leaving now.

I hope Sophie wouldn't be mad at me for discussing this with Ashton. I mean, he is her dad after all...
