Bring Me Back (L.R.H)

~15~

/ALY/
Around 8:30 the next morning I woke laying on top of Luke. Our legs were tangled together, his face buried in my hair, my head resting just below his rib cage because I'm so small. The only sounds I heard were his breathing and his heartbeat. That noise was so beautiful to me, his heart beating. It almost put me back to a peaceful sleep, but when I snuggled closer to him he stirred awake.
He looked down and smirked a closed mouth smile at me. His hair was disheveled, sticking out in random spots. He had bags under his eyes and sleep lines on his face, but god did he look lovely.
"Hi ." I whispered, looking into his hypotonic eyes.
"Hey," He whispered. "sleep well?"
I nodded my head and scooted up, placing a kiss to his collarbone. "Next to you, definitely."
He chuckled, then his smile faded a bit. "You're staying with me today okay?"
Luke had never really demanded anything from me before, but he spoke in a gentle tone. "Okay." I nodded.
"If I had things my way," Luke spoke, sitting up with his back against the headboard, and pulling me onto his lap. He held me against him. "you'd stay with me all the time."
I could feel my cheeks get hot. Knowing he feels the same way I do makes my heart do somersaults and backflips. It's just not going to happen though. My mom would never allow it. She and her boyfriend or husband, whatever they are, get pleasure out of making me miserable.
"I'd like that...but it's just not reality." I sighed.
Luke lifted my chin with his pointer finger so I was looking at him. "But it could be."
What? Was he asking me to move in? I'm only 17 and Luke is a 20 year old man basically. I still have senior year before I can even think about packing up and bolting. Believe me, I'd love nothing more than to get the hell out of that prison, and to be with Luke...wow. But he wasn't even my boyfriend, and we'd only been in each other's lives for two months, even though it felt like two lifetimes.
"I mean think about it Aly, it'd just be you and me, here...together. You'd be safe, you'd be protected, you'd be lov-" Then he stopped himself.
What the hell is happening, am I dreaming? Am I being punk'd?
I looked from his eyes to his lips quickly. Did I hear him right?
"A-are you hungry? Because I can make really good pancakes, and I have fruit, I know you love fruit, uhm." He stuttered nervously.
"Luke that's okay I don't want anything right now," I chuckled at how adorable he was. He was slightly blushing and was obviously embarrassed, avoiding my gaze. "I just want you...this moment."
Twirling my fingers through his hair, I placed my hand at the nape of his neck and pulled him in for a kiss.
He smiled into the kiss, causing me to smile too.
Eventually we pulled apart. Luke caressed my cheek. "I want you too Aly...I really do."

"Okay so I've got beer and water but no lemonade." Luke entered his room.
I stood at the mirror in the bathroom, applying my makeup.
Luke leaned against the doorframe. "You know you don't need that shit." He said.
Placing my mascara on the counter I turned to him, rolling my eyes with a smile on my face. "Stoppp."
"Stop wearing it then." He grinned.
"Ugh Luke leave me be!" I laughed, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Do you want me to run to the store, pick up some drinks for you?" He loosened his grip and looked down at me.
"No don't worry about it. We could go to the beach though?" I asked, hopeful.
The beach was my favorite place. I loved the ocean, it always fascinated me. The way the waves crash onto the shore like they're searching for something. The hot sand beneath my feet mixing with the icy salt water. Also, the pier; it reminded me of my dad.
"Sounds great," Luke smiled. "do we need to drop by your house?" He asked, a protective edge to his tone.
"Oh shit, we do." face palmed.
"I'm going in with you." Luke said sternly.
"We can go in the window, so they don't know I left."
Luke nodded.
Once we'd climbed into my room I dug through my drawer. I got my favorite army green bikini, some black flip flops, and beach essentials.
Luke also convinced me to bring a bag with extra clothes and things in case I stay with him some more.
The drive to the beach was interesting. Luke put on some Blink 182 and sang in a goofy voice.
"I sound just like Tom." He beamed a dorky smile.
"Uh huh," I laughed. "if Tom sounded like he was being stabbed to death whilst singing."
"Ouch!" He put his hand over his heart, and a fake hurt look on his face.
I slipped my arm through his, leaning my head on his shoulder. "You know I love your voice."
He grinned.
We lay on my towel soaking up the sun when Luke's phone rang.
"Ughhh." He groaned, checking the caller ID. "Hey Ash what's up?"
I watched him as he spoke. The way his nose scrunched up, how his dimples formed, his soothing accent.
"Mate I'm sure she won't mind. See you in ten yeah?"
Once Luke hung up he stood, reaching out his arms for me. "That was Ash, he and the boys begged to hang with us."
"Sweet." I smiled.
"You're okay with it right?" He asked. "If you're not then I'll just call and tell them..."
"Luke chill," I grinned, "I love hanging with the boys."
"Not as much as you love hanging with me though." He intertwined our fingers.
"I don't know Calum can be a pretty good time..." I smirked.
"Whatttt?" Luke tossed me over his shoulder.
"Luke!" I shrieked, giggling as he ran towards the water.
"I AM SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN CAL!" He laughed.
"NO YOU AREN'T!" I joked. "LUKE STOP TICKLING ME!"
I tried prying his hands away but I didn't want him to drop me.
He tossed me in the water and splashed around.
"What're you freaks doing?" Michael called from out of nowhere.
He stood by the waters edge laughing and shaking his head.
"I'm teaching her a listen." Luke chuckled, letting me climb on his back as he piggybacked me out of the water.
"More like he's being a nuisance." I patted his shoulders.
"When is he not?" Calum smiled.
"I wouldn't have him any other way." I wrapped my arms around his waist, gazing at the beautiful ocean eyed boy beside me.
