Hurt.

25.

Arriving back in Australia, I didn't expect much to change. The goodbyes in New York were sentimental and I was gonna miss my family, no doubt. But I have family out here and it's best if I stay here in Melbourne with my other family.

Luke and I dropped out bags in the living room and I plopped my ass down on the couch. I was exhausted and I knew jet lag would kick in soon. Luke sat down next to me and I laid my head on his shoulder, feeling my eyes get heavy already.

"I am so exhausted.." I said quietly, as I felt Luke rubbing my side. He simply nodded as he was probably exhausted too. I forced myself to get up and I pulled Luke along with me. Feeling Luke's weight being lazy, I pulled him along upstairs and into my room. There was the groaning and whining from Luke as we trudged up the stairs and when we got in my room, Luke simply threw himself onto my bed.

I laid next to him, pulling the covers up over me. "Sleepy?" I asked as Luke nodded and turned on his side, facing me. I was forcing myself to stay awake, but my eyes were starting to close too. As I saw Luke fall asleep, I knew sleep was calling my name too. So slowly, I let my eyes shut and I fell asleep.

The next day, I think I slept until at least three in the afternoon. I rubbed my eyes, checking the time on my phone. I didn't really realize I had slept literally all day. No one came to wake us up. Luke was still sound asleep, practically cuddling a pillow. I kissed his head softly and sat up, running a hand through my hair. I got up and stretched out before making my way downstairs. Once I got downstairs, I noticed my dad wasn't home. I walked into the kitchen and saw a note from him.

From Dad: I had to run into work this morning, should be home about 7. Didn't wanna wake you up! - Dad xx

I picked up the note, tossing it in the trash because I didn't really need it now that I read it. I heard foot steps slowly creeping down the stairs which probably meant Luke was awake. I looked towards that direction and there he was with his curly hair, rubbing his eyes and yawning. "Well well.." I laughed and he waved at me.

"Hey, how long have you been up?" Luke asked with a raspy tone to his voice.

I looked at him and smiled. "About ten minutes I think? My dad's at work until 7." I walked towards the fridge and opened it up. "Hungry?" I asked Luke, grabbing some yogurt and berries.

Luke shook his head. "I gotta get going soon, I have to film tonight with the boys..." He said, yawning again. I had totally forgotten that he was filming today. I nodded, mixing the berries in the yogurt.

"I forgot.." I said, taking a bite of my yogurt. Luke grabbed his shoes from by the front door and pecked my lips.

"I will see you tomorrow, babe?" He flashed a smile at me and I nodded, smiling right back at him. He kissed me, then pulled away shortly after as he grabbed his keys and walked out the front door, leaving me home all by myself.

I didn't realize how much time I actually was spending with Luke. Seemed like when I was with him, time just stopped and I lost track of it. Never really took it into mind that I was just forgetting everyone else. I sighed, putting my bowl in the sink and walked into the living room, situating myself on the couch, then laid down, putting on a movie.

My eyes were drooping again and I knew The jet lag phase would kick in once again. I grabbed a blanket, pulling it over my body and felt myself falling asleep again.
