Chapter 24

**Luke's POV**

What did I do that she wouldn't tell me what was going on? Is there something going on between Michael and her? Is she cheating on me with one of my bandmates? All these thoughts run through my head. I'm laying in bed with Julie, but she is still sound asleep from the whole event yesterday.

I look over at her peaceful body. I also notices bruises all over her. I hate her dad, and there is no way that I'm sorry for what I did to him. He deserved every last second of it. I must've been lost in my thoughts too long, and too hard because I'm interrupted by someone.

"What you thinking so hard about?" Julie says sleepy looking at me.

"Nothing just you." I responded.

"What about me?"

"It's nothing baby."

"If it's about Michael there is nothing going on between us. I'm yours, and only yours. You should know I would never cheat on you, but I do have to tell you something."

"You can tell me anything." I say pulling her closer to me.

"Yesterday morning when I was heading to the bathroom I ran into Michael. He asked me what do I do when I like someone, but I'm not sure if I really like them. I told them what I did with you because at first I wanted to be so mad at you, but then I kissed you. I knew when I kissed you that you had to be mine again. Then he kissed me. I didn't feel anything from it because the only person I love is you. I'm sorry I didn't tell you when it happened. Maybe if I did then I wouldn't have gotten kidnapped by my father." She says all in one breath.

I loosen my grip on her because I am a little hurt that Michael would kiss her. I don't respond because I don't know what to say. Michael kissed my girlfriend, and I'm not okay with that. I mean Connor kissed her too, but they were dating.

"Luke please believe me. I'm so sorry. I didn't feel anything I promise. I love you and only you." She tells me putting her hands on my face. I guess she felt me loosen my grip.

"I believe you." Is all that I say.

She starts to get teary eyed. I don't like to see her cry, and she has cried too much. I can't make her feel bad about this. What type of boyfriend would I be then? I can't let her cry because of me. She tears me apart when she does.

"Julie don't cry please. I do believe you. I'm not mad at you. I promise." I pull her into my chest holding her close.

She holds on tight to me. "What happened in the car was that Michael was the only one that would return my calls when my brother died. He had a bad car wreck, and I needed someone. I tried to call you and Calum the most. You didn't pick up, and I thought you two hated me. Then Ashton wouldn't pick up, and I thought all of you guys hated me then. I still tried Michael, but I was surprised he answered me though. I told him what was wrong. I didn't want him to tell anyone because I thought I could get over it myself."

I just hold her tighter. I never knew that, and I can't believe I was so stupid to not answer her. I feel horrible now. She needed me the most, and I didn't answer her. I could never hate her. She's the love of my life how on earth could I possibly hate her.

"Julie I am so sorry. I can't believe I didn't answer you. I could never hate you because you are the love of my life. Without you I am nothing. I love you so much." I tell her softly, and she looks up at me. She nods smiling.

"I love you so much. You are the love of my life too." She says smiling.

I was about to say something when my phone buzzes. I look at my phone, and it's from Paul telling us that we have a meeting. Few minutes later there's a knock on the door. Calum peaks his head in.
