On the Road Again || Luke Hemmings

Part Forty-Two

*Luke's POV*

I couldn't sleep.

Ive been sitting upright in Amanda's bed for the past 3 hours, my mind was racing. Amanda had fallen asleep around 9 and it is now 12 in the morning. The majority of this time i don't even know what the fuck I'm thinking about. My thoughts were absolutely jumbled.

I thought about going back on tour after our short break in a few days. I thought about the fans and how eager i am to get back on stage again. Then about how i don't want to leave Amanda behind again, just as she's starting college. I thought about how much I'm going to miss her while I'm gone. And about how sad it'll make both me and her.

I thought about the boys and what they're up to right now. Calum with his baby on the way. Michael constantly bugging the shit out of Deysi. And Ashton being, well, Ashton.

And then i thought about Amanda. And how I'm madly in love with her. And about all the things i love about her. Her smile, the way her eyes crinkle when she laughs, the freckles that clutter her cheeks. And the one thing i love most, how flustered she always gets. I love that after 2 and a half years of being together, she still blushes profusely from every compliment and affectionate gesture i throw at her. And it's my favorite thing in the whole world.

I felt Amanda squirm next to me and i looked down at her. She unconsciously rolled herself over, making her body face mine. She stuck out her hand and began feeling around the bed. I put my hand on top of hers and she instantly laced our fingers together.

Well, i think i just found another thing to love.

I heard the back door close and turned around to see Amanda walking over towards me. "So this is where you've been? How long have you been out here Lewi?" She questioned and I shrugged. "A couple hours I guess."

"Why?" She asked as she sat down in front of me. "Well," I started, strumming the guitar in my lap. "I couldn't sleep at all last night. I had too much shit going through my mind. So around 7-ish when the sun finally came up, I grabbed my guitar and headed outside to sit on the deck and play a little bit, to relax and clear my head." I told her and she nodded. "So what were you thinking about?"

"Tons of things sweetie. Tour in a couple days, the fans, the boys, and most importantly, you." I smiled and she blushed.

My favorite thing in the world.

"What about me?" She asked and I let out a breath. "Everything. Everything about you and all the things I love about you. Your laugh, your voice, your smile, those gorgeous baby blue eyes, and so much more." I grinned and she smiled softly at me. "And speaking of those baby blue eyes, I wanna sing you something." I said, and she nodded for me to continue. "I heard this song about a year ago and as soon as I did, it immediately made me think of you. And since then, whenever I'm missing you while I'm on tour or away, I listen to it. And I just wanted to share this song with you so," I paused, lining up my fingers on the strings before beginning to play.

"My eyes are no good- blind without her, the way she moves, I never doubt her.

When she talks, she somehow creeps into my dreams.

She's a doll, a catch, a winner. I'm in love and no beginner; could ever grasp or understand just what she means.

Baby, baby blue eyes, stay with me by my side; 'til the mornin', through the night.

Well baby, stand here, holdin' my sides, close your baby blue eyes; every moment feels right.

And I may feel like a fool, but I'm the only one, dancin' with you.
