I got to her apartment and walked straight in, my foot crunched on something and as I looked down I seen a smashed plate beneath me. I walked in to the kitchen where broken glass and plates covered the floor. I sighed and walked out going towards the bedroom, I knocked "Alex, it's me. Can I come in?" I heard muffled sounds from the other side of the door and took them as a yes. She was lying on her bed, the curtains drawn and just a table lamp switched on beside her. I could see her eyes were red and puffy from crying. What have I done? "I thought you left" She stated, her voice shaky which made my heart ache. I took a seat on the other side of the bed and faced the floor "I did but I came back. I shouldn't have left, I made a promise and I'm sorry" She sniffled and turned in her bed to face me, I turned my head and her eyes were searching my face for reassurance. "I thought you hated me" Hate her? "Why did you think that?" She closed her eyes for a second before opening them slowly "After I told you about my past and what I had done I thought you were disgusted. I don't blame you, I am too" I took her hand in mine and kissed the back lingering for a second or two "I could never hate you" Her beautiful pink lips curved into a smile and my heart fluttered "I'm sorry for leaving" I lay my head on the pillow beside her "I'm sorry for telling you" She looked down before I could answer she got up and went to the bathroom.

I sat up and went through to the kitchen and got the sweeping brush and started sweeping the broken pieces away, I heard the toilet flush and I looked up to see Alex standing watching me. She moves fast. "What happened in here?" Her cheeks went pink and she looked down "I thought I'd lost you" She mumbled so I almost couldn't see her. I stood up from my crouched position and put the brush down, I cupped her face with my hands and looked into her eyes "You will never lose me" I leaned in and pressed my lips to hers and she kissed me back immediately, I put my hands on her waist and pulled her closer to my body as she deepened the kiss I lifted her up on to the counter so I was standing between her legs, she pulled away and her beautiful green eyes bore into mine "Let me help you" She was about to jump down before I stopped her "Don't think so, you only have socks on so you'll cut your feet" She crossed her arms and sat there while I bent down to continue sweeping up the mess.

Alex's POV

I watched as Luke swept up my mess. Oops. He emptied it into the bin and as I was going to jump down, for the second time, he stopped me "There could still be glass or something on the floor" He put his arms under my knees and lifted me off the counter carrying me back to the sofa throwing me down "Oh thanks, you're so gentle" I spoke whilst sitting myself up, I really didn't want to stay in the house today "What do you want to do today?" Luke looked at me from the TV "Don't you have to work?" I shook my head "Nope, off for 2 weeks" He thought about it for a while "I don't know, Beau was planning on firing up the BBQ this afternoon if you want to go?" I felt bad because I was always at their place but it was so much fun there and I seemed to get on with all the boys so I guess it wasn't that bad "Let me go get changed first" He nodded and I walked in to the bedroom pulling out a pair of Blue high waisted shorts and a tank top, my usual combo and walked back out slipping on my usual red converse. "Lets go" I grabbed my phone and car keys walking out the door, Luke closing it behind us.

"This is the first play of One Direction's new song 'Story Of My Life'" 

The radio presenter introduced their new song and my ears filled with the perfect music beginning to play through the radio, it was half way through the song and I was loving every second of it "Angels are singing in my ears right now" Luke laughed at me and we pulled into the driveway just as the song ended "That was amazing!" I told him when we got out the car. We walked into the house to 4 other boys running around then I smelled the burgers. "Food" I ran towards where the smell was coming from and seen Beau flipping the burgers "They aren't even ready yet?" He jumped and turned around then smiled when he saw me "No not yet" I went over to sit by Jai and Daniel. I'm not too sure where Luke went but he'll turn up eventually "Hey guys" I smiled at them and they looked up from their phones "Oh, hey Alex" Jai said looking back down to his phone straight away, I pulled my sunglasses down from my head putting them over my eyes and leaned back soaking up the sun, hoping for a tan on my pale skin. I know I lived in Florida and should have tan skin blah blah blah but apparently my skin doesn't work like that.

"Want to have a kick about?" Skip asked Jai but Jai shook his head then he looked to me, he put on the puppy dog eyes and pushed out his bottom lip "Pwease Awex?" I giggled at the childish boy "Sure" He smiled excitedly and jumped up "Ok, you go get the ball and I'll go pee" I got up and started looking for the ball before I noticed it was in the pool I sighed and got the net that was sitting beside the pool and started reaching out for it, I just about got it before I felt a pair of hands on my back then suddenly I was immersed in the water of the swimming pool. Nice. I surfaced to see Jai clutching his stomach from laughter, Beau trying not to laugh all over the food and Skip coming out with a confused look on his face. "That was hilarious" Jai gasped between laughs "Just help me out" He reached his hand out and I grabbed it, yanking him in with me "Hey!" He shouted shaking his wet hair "That's no fair" "Now, that was funny" We both turned round to see Luke standing at the edge of the pool "Come on in, it's nice and warm" I leaned up on the side and flicked some water at him off of my fingers, he pulled his shirt over his head and jumped in, discarding the shirt at the side of the pool. 

********

It was dark now and Luke and I were lying on the balcony looking up at the stars while everybody went out to a club that had just opened "You sure you didn't want to go with them?" He shook his head "No, I wanted to stay here with you" I smiled and kissed him quickly before looking back up to the stars. Luke quickly stood up taking off his shirt and trousers "What are you doing?" I laughed as he ran towards the lit up pool jumping in for the second time today "Come on" I stayed in my spot and shook my head "I don't have my swimming stuff and these clothes are the last clean ones I have here" I should really wash them. "Who said you needed clothes" He winked causing you to blush "Look away" I stripped down to my underwear. That's basically the same as a bikini, right?

I stepped in and swam over to Luke "You can look now" He turned around and his eyes widened "That was fast" I couldn't help but smile at how close we were and then he disappeared beneath the water "Luke?" I tried to look for him but I couldn't see him. Hands wrapped around my legs as I was dragged underwater, I opened my eyes funnily enough to see Luke waving at me, I swam forward and pressed my lips to his. I've never kissed underwater but it's nice. I pulled away and swam to the top for air. Luke came up seconds later and turned towards me, shaking his head "You're a boy, not a dog" He raised an eyebrow "Not a man?" "Not quite yet" He pouted and turned away "See" He still ignored me, two can play this game. "Fine. I'll see you inside" He started to turn but stopped, curious of what I was going to do next. I grabbed my clothes and ran up to the bathroom, grabbed a towel and wrapped it round me then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs "Alex, where did you go?" I scuttled across to his bedroom and dried myself a bit, put my hair up into a bun and lay down under the covers "Alex, what are you doing in there?" I turned to face him and pouted "I'm tired, come keep me warm?" He smiled and got into the bed, his eyes widened as he lifted up the covers "Where are your clothes?" I smirked and lay my head on his chest "Well, they're all dirty and the ones I had on still managed to get wet somehow" His chest vibrated as he laughed "You can borrow a jumper of mine you know" Why hadn't I thought of that? "Can you pass me one?" I looked up to him and he smirked "I kinda want to see the view" I rolled my eyes and manouvered my way out of the bed, standing to get a jumper "Did it hurt?" I looked at him confused as I pulled the jumper over my head "Did what hurt?" He nodded to the tattoo on my side and I shrugged "Some bits, why?" He looked up to my eyes "Just curious I guess, I don't like the idea of you getting hurt" I chuckled to myself as I got back in beside Luke. "It's okay, I'm a big girl now" I smiled up at him, he kissed my forehead and leaned back closing his eyes. "Goodnight, babe" I went to put my head back on the pillow but Luke stopped me "I like you there, I know you're still here this way" I furrowed my eyebrows "I'm not going anywhere" He sighed and yawned "I just want you to be safe" He wrapped his arm around your back, hand resting on your waist and you closed your eyes, drifting off to sleep in the safety of Luke's arms once again.
