Tyler Alex and I are sitting outside the school building on the benches. Tyler asked me 24/7 to talk about Sydney and I just told everything. About Joel Mom and of course Luke.

Alex is quietly hugging me.

"You know Julia maybe you should let him explain." Tyler says getting a mean look from Alex.

Luke explain? Explain what? He would never care enough to explain to me. He doesn't give a fuck.

"I mean maybe it wasn't his fault. You didn't get that tattoo for no reason." Tyler says and I nod at him. Maybe I should.

But getting the tattoo is nothing for Luke he has so many. And mine was just a fail.

"Do you really think that Ty?" Alex asks and looks at me. I shrug.

I am so confused right now.

"I do. After all he seemed to be super super honest and nice to you. He is probably just as heartbroken as you are." Tyler says and looks away.

"You never met him! Luke will never be heartbroken." I point out.

"I did and he loves you Julia." Alex says. I look at her.

"Really?"

"Act your age Julia we both know that!" I sigh and nod.

"But how the fuck am I going to afford the flight back? I want to get there before Christmas if I go." I say and take my phone out my pocket.

"You can't get there that early anymore." Tyler says and stares into the distance.

"We have class c'mon." Alex says and takes me by my arm and drags me of the bench.

On our way back in the car Alex's mom puts the radio on.

"This is the new jam from Five Seconds of Summer it's absolutely amazing!" The voice on the radio says. I look outside and close my eyes. Does it look like I wanna hear it?

For a while we pretended
That we never had to end it
But we knew we had to say goodbye
You were crying at the airport
When they finally closed the plane door
I could barely hold it all inside

Torn in two
And I know I shouldn't tell you
But I just can't stop thinking of you
Wherever you are
You
Wherever you are
Everynight I almost call you
Just to say it always will be you
Wherever You are

I could fly a thousand oceans
But there's nothing that compares to
What we had so I walk alone

I wish I didn't have to be gone
Maybe you've already moved on
But the truth is I don't want to know

Torn in two
and I know I shouldn't tell you
But I just can't stop thinking of you
Wherever you are
You
Wherever you are
Everynight I almost call you
Just to say it always will be you
Wherever you are

You can say we'll be together
Someday
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing stays the same
So why can't I stop feeling this way

Torn in two
and I know I shouldn't tell you
But I just can't stop thinking of you
Wherever you are
You
Wherever you are
Everynight I almost call you
Just to say it always will be you
Wherever you are

The music stops I am crying. Alex next to me is as well.

"I told you." She whispers.

We arrive at the house and I check the money on my credit card. Exactly enough. I run downstairs.

"Alex I have enough!" I never really bought stuff, I usually saved my money.

"Oh." Alex's mom says and smiles.

"We kinda have money for you as well." Alex says and hands me an envelope.

"Alex I don't need that I can fly back!" I start jumping up and down.

But still somewhere in the back of my head I know it will be thug. Should I really do it?

"Should I do it?" I ask and Alex nods.

"Your whole family is there in Sydney. You know that's where you belong now. Your boyfriend has probably a good explanation on whatever happened." Alex's mom says.

"Yeah now go!" Alex says and pushes my suitcases in my arms.

"Thanks a lot for everything these two weeks Mrs." I say and hug Alex's mom.

"Thanks Alex. Please thank Ty for me. He is amazing."

"I know. I will. No problem." We group hug and I say bye to Alex's dad. Before I know it we are on our way to the airport.

It's Christmas Night tonight and I hope Luke will let me in the apartment.

I put my headphones off as the plane lands. Here I am again.

Holding my tears back from the bad memories I walk out the airplane. Walking trough the arrive hall he's there Luke.

"LUKE!" I yell and rush in his arms I quietly start sobbing. Fuck u Alex. She probably called him.

"Jul." He breaks the hug and kisses my forehead.

"I'm so glad you're fine."

"Lukeeeey" I whisper and I cuddle up his body.

"C'mon babe we are going home." He says and I see some tears in his eyes.

Aw.

(~•3•)~

Luke starts his car and the whole drive he holds my hand.

He unlocks the door of our apartment and I almost trip over my own feet as I see what a mess it is.

"I haven't done anything but making music." He whispers.

"I will clean it up. After we talked." I say and slowly close the door. Before I can he brushes his lips onto mine.

"I'm so sorry Julia." He moans and I break the kiss.

"Please Luke. First explain."

Luke opens his mouth and I just stare at him.

"C'mon Luke." I say and then the first words fall out of him mouth.

"I knew this man."
