Strong Love (Janoskians Fan Fiction)

Chapter 20

*Luke's POV*

The boys and I had began packing for Melbourne on Friday and today was Wednesday. I was excited to go back home and just relax and see family and friends. Family mostly. It was summer back in Australia too so that was a bonus I guess but I just couldn't get my head around Alex. Did I want her back? What if she left me again just as easy as the first time? I was beginning to think I didn't feel anything for her anymore but after our little make out session on Monday I couldn't have been more wrong, I felt everything I did the first time I kissed her and I was finding myself wanting more of her addicting touch. I was knocked from my thoughts as Beau was shouting from down the stairs with an unfamiliar voice, I went down to check it out and seen Beau standing in front of the door "No! Fuck off!" I looked around him to see a slim figure standing in front of Beau "Who is it?" I asked coming down the last few stairs "That dickhead Sam" I heard same speak up from behind him "I just want to talk to you" He said looking round to me. My curiosity took over and I pushed past Beau to see him "Luke what are you-" I cut him off "I'll be back in in a minute" and closed the door sitting on the small wall in our driveway and Sam sat next to me "I think you know what I'm doing here" He told me as he looked down at his shoes "I thought you left?" I asked ignoring his statement he just shook his head "I can't go back home to Florida, my mum and dad sent me here to live with my uncle because I was "out of control"" He said using air quotes "So why are you at my house?" He looked back to his shoes "I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry" I almost laughed. Him? Sorry? Really? He must have seen my facial expression because he piped up again "Yeah, I'm surprised too" I did laugh this time and I heard a small laugh come from him too "Well, I guess I can't really accept your apology, you beat up my...Alex" I still don't know what to call her. We need to sort this out before I go back to Melbourne "Yeah, that was a really dick move but I never meant to hurt her like that, my guys are just a bit rough sometimes" His guys? You have got to be kidding me "Yeah, well is that it? You wanted to say sorry?" I started to get up but he shook his head so I sat back down "No, I'm not just sorry about that I'm sorry for everything, she wasn't mine to take and I guess I was stuck in the past, I was still hanging onto the love that is no longer there, on her part anyway" He looked genuinly upset but he spoke of her as an object which annoyed me a little but I decided to keep my mouth shut "I ruined you both and I guess I just wanted what you two had" He continued "You were watching us?" I asked now confused a little "I know that is totally twisted but I had to know who she was seeing, you two were something special and I got so jealous I guess I just wanted to ruin the good thing in your life to make up for my shitty life" He explained to me "Oh" Was all I managed to say "Just look after her okay? I didn't and she left, that's what she does or she parties which brings back memories for her" He looked like he was thinking before he continued "Just keep her safe, she's...broken and I couldn't fix her. She needs protected" He said "From what?" I asked "Herself" with that Sam stood up "I won't bother you again so don't worry about me" I nodded and he left. I sat on the wall for another 5 minutes thinking about what he had said why did she need protected from herself? What was that supposed to mean? I began to think about Alex and I being 'something special' Were we? I had no idea anymore. I got up and went back inside and was bombarded by Beau's questions "We just talked. I'm gonna go pack some more" I told him and went away back up the stairs pulling out my phone and texting Alex:

*Dinner. 7pm. I'll pick you up*

Only 5 minutes passed before she text back.

*I'll be waiting* 

I smiled at her simple reply and kept packing until I decided I better shower.

*Alex's POV*

I thought I'd better shower and change before Luke came to pick me up. It was colder now we were in winter, December actually, wow this year has gone fast. I took out a pair of black skinny jeans and a black vest top to put under my blue plaid shirt. I showered and got dressed, I was ready for half past 6 so I just sat and watched some TV until I heard a horn outside. I looked out my window and seen Luke's car parked down on the street so I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my purse before running out the house. I was excited when Luke text me and I'm even more excited now that he's here I just hope he feels the same. On the ride down in the elevator scenes keep playing out in my head. Luke kissing me and holding me telling me he loves me or the complete opposite, Luke shouting at me and telling me he never wants to see me again after what I did to him. This was either going to go really well or really bad. I guess I'll find out soon enough. I get in the car and the drive to the restaurant is silent, just the radio playing softly as Luke manouveres around the streets.

The waiter brings us our food and sets it on the table in front of us, the waiter smiles at me and nods before walking away "What the hell was that?" Luke asks in a whisper "What was what?" I asked in the same hushed voice "That waiter was totally checking you out" I rolled my eyes and just laughed "Yeah, of course he was" I told him sarcastically taking a drink of my coca-cola "So, what made you want to go to dinner tonight?" He took a chip and put it in his mouth before answering "I wanted to talk...about us" Oh no. This can't be good. "What about us?" I said trying not to sound like I'm panicing "Well...I mean, what are we? Are we even friends?" I pushed my carrots around with my fork "I hope so" I told him in almost a whisper and looked up at him through my eyelashes. He smiled that adoreable smile and nodded "So do I" I smiled as well and nodded "Can we go back to being more than friends?" He asked me a little unsure if he should ask that question. I kept playing with my carrots unsure of what to say myself "It's up to you. I mean, do you even want me back? I broke your heart because it was the easy choice and I don't want that to happen again" I told him honestly. I really wanted us to get back together so that I could feel his soft lips again but it was down to him "That will never happen again. I will keep you safe this time, I can't lose you Alex. I thought I could move on but I can't" He put his hand on mine and I smiled suddenly shy "Please be mine Alex" He said it so softly I almost didn't realise he said something "Are you sure?" I asked him warily "Yes" He said it so confidently this time and my heart fluttered. We finished our meal and he took me home. This time he came with me to my apartment.

I laughed at Damon once again while Luke and I watched The Vampire Diaries "I love that noise" He said it to himself mostly but I pretend I never heard him. Out of the corner of my eye I see Luke looking at me with a slight smile on his lips "What?" I turn to him "Do I have something on my face" I begin to frantically wipe at my face and he just laughs taking hold of my wrists and bringing them down by my sides. He just looks into my eyes as I look back at him, my legs crossed in front of me as I face him "How did I think I could forget you" He said under his breath and leaned in pressing his lips to mine and I instantly kiss back feeling the warmth shift through my body as he pushes me to lye on my back as he hovers above me. He starts trailing kisses along my jawline and down my neck sucking a little. He lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as he carries me into the bedroom and onto the bed "Dammit I've missed you so much" I giggle a little "It wasn't that long" "It was for me" and his lips met mine again as we continued our 'moment'.

I wake up the next morning with arms wrapped around my waist and I have to admit, I've missed waking up like this, I turn in his arms and nestle my head in his chest and I feel him kiss the top of my head "Good morning" A raspy voice says from above me "Go back to sleep" I groan and his chest vibrates as he laughs tightening his grip around me a little "Whatever you say" I do fall back asleep though in complete bliss.
