Falling In Love Again - English (translated) || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 17 Luke: Leave

Luke's POV

Thursday morning

I put my iPhone right next te me on the couch and looked expectantly at it. I'm worried about her, I haven't heard a thing from her since I told her about the tour. The other guys haven't heard anything from her either. What should I do? We'll be leaving tomorrow and I can't stand the idea of not seeing her before that. Maybe when I come back from the tour, she's forgotten me already. Maybe she'll be in love with someone else. So many questions went through my head and it drove me crazy! 'Maybe you should go to see her.' Michael said as he plopped on the couch next to me. 'I don't want to push you or anything but tomorrow we're leaving and I really think it's good for you to go visit her. For both of you.' I turned my eyes away from my phone and looked at my friend. 'But-' I started but I got interrupted by Ashton, who apparently heard everything. 'No "Buts" Hemmo.' He said, quoting "Buts". 'Go to her! Talk. Do something! I know you can't let her go and you'll be a mess during the tour if you don't work things out with her. So that's why you should move your stupid ass into her direction... Wow that sounded weird... But you know what I mean!' He continued and sat down next to Michael. 'You can always ask her to skype every night or something to keep in touch during the tour.' Michael suggested. I sighed and thought about it for a second. 'But i'm not even her boyfriend so why would she anyway?' I thought aloud. Ashton rolled his eyes and put his head in his neck. 'How can you even say that, you idiot?! You love her, she loves you. It so freakin' obvious!' He sighed irritably. 'That kiss means something, she wouldn't have if she didn't love you! And do you remember what she told you after the kiss?' Ashton continued. Okay I admit, he's right. I'm overthinking everything, am I? 'I'm just afraid that I'll somehow hurt her or do something she doesn't want. She has a terrible experience with... well love and stuff, so she's really insecure about all this.' I finally spoke. A small silence followed. 'Anyway, I think you should go talk to her.' Ashton said after a while. I bit my lip and looked at my phone.

An hour later.

I quickly pressed the doorbell. I was out of breath because I practically run all the way to Aria's house. Call me crazy, but it's true. The door opened and Mrs. Greenwood looked at me kindly. 'Oh hi Luke, haven't seen you here in a while. I assume you're here for Aria. Come on in, she's in her room.' She smiled an let me inside. Just when I wanted to run upstairs Mrs. Greenwood grabbed my wrist. 'I'm worried about Aria, she hasn't really been out of her room for almost a week and won't talk to any of us. I thought maybe you could try to talk to her because you're obviously good friends.' She spoke softly. Shit! She locked herself in her room because of all the tour shit, isn't it? I got angry at myself. I'm such an asshole. I didn't really know why but I just felt like I was being a prick to her. I nodded. Once Mrs. Greenwood let go of my wrist, I ran up the stairs and turned left towards Aria's room. When I reached the end of the corridor I slowly put my hand on the doorknob and opened the door.

Aria was sitting on her bed with her back towards me. She didn't heard me coming into her room because she was wearing headphones. Also she was holding a guitar and playing a perfect cover of  "I Miss You" by Blink 182. I stood there for a while, just listening. Her voice is pretty and she definitly  has some guitar skills. 'Aria?' I finally spoke. As soon as she heard my voice she jumped of the bed and turned around swiftly. 'Luke!' I opened my mouth to say something but Aria already did. 'What are you doing here?' She asked while putting her guitar on the bed and taking her headphones of. 'I had to see you. We need to talk before I leave.' I answered with a creaky voice. It stroke me that her eyes were red and dried tears clung on to her cheeks. Her eyes were watery and when a fresh tear escaped, she turned away so I couldn't see her face anymore. 'Just go.' She whispered. I knew she was trying to hide her tears from me. Even though she told me to leave I wanted to wrap my arms around her and hold her tight. Telling her I would stay, but I can't. 'Please, talk to me.' I said softly. Her body began to tremble and I could hear her sniffing. 'No Luke cause then saying goodbye would be even harder.' I walked up to her and turned her around so I could see her face again. 'G-g-go away.' She stuttered and tried to turn away from me but I stopped her. 'I'm not leaving. I can't leave you like this.' I said. She slowly raised her head and looked me straight in the eyes. 'Why?' She spoke so soft that I could barely hear her. For a second I found myself getting lost in her green eyes but I got myself together and answered. 'Damn it. Can't you see? I'm in love with you! I've never loved anyone this much. And I've never fell so hard and fast for someone until I met you!' Before I knew it, I said it. She bit her lip hard to hold back her tears. The look on her face was heartbreaking. The silence made the whole situation really awkward. I just confessed my love for a girl I've known for only a couple of weeks and I already find myself getting too emotional. What is this? I'm not supposed to get emotional! 'Please go Luke... I can't do this.' She finally said.
