Chapter 54

Hannah's POV

"Laura! Are you home?" I call, looking around the house. I hear mumbling in a room down to the right. I start to follow the sound, noticing the red petals on the ground are leading me to the noise.

I slowly open the door, the noise getting a little bit louder. "Laura? Are you in h-" I stop, my gaze moving to Joe. Then to the ring. "Oh" That's all I could manage my throat tightening up. "Hannah, please listen to m-" But before she could finish I run out of the room, dropping the bunch of flowers I carefully picked out for her.

I run out of the flat, leaving the door wide open. I don't bother to wait for the elevator, I just run down all the stairs and get quickly back into my car, tears running down my face.

I don't even know why I'm so upset, maybe it's because I thought I had a chance. A chance to have a relationship I was actually happy in. A chance to fall in love all over again. But that chance is now gone, by the look of that ring it looked like an engagement ring.

Engagement ring. The words cut into my heart, it feels like a spear has just gone through my body. After all Joe has done to her, she's gone back to him and is now going to marry him? He must have made an amazing speech for her to change her mind. Laura never changes her mind easily.

When I reach my block of flats I quickly dump my car in the car park and I go inside, covering my face so no one can see the mascara running down my face. I quickly go up the stairs, fumbling for the flat keys in my pocket. Eventually, I open the door and walk inside. I lock the door behind me.

I run to my bedroom and get into bed, covering my face with my white pillow. It's probably ruined now since black mascara is all over it, but I don't really care anymore. I don't care about anything anymore.

Laura's POV

Hannah leaves in a flash. I'm shocked. It looked like she had a date planned. I stand up, picking up the flowers she dropped. They are so pretty, they are white lilies. Did Hannah think we had a chance of becoming a couple?

"Mhm" I hear Joe mumble behind me. "What a way to ruin the mood" He sighs, turning away from me and looking out the window. The sky is turning a sunset pink, it looks pretty with all the buildings in front of it, creating a silhouette. The photographer within me wants to go take a photograph but I don't.

"Look Joe, I don't know what's gotten into her. All you need to know is that I love you. Nobody else, okay?" I stand up, walking towards him and wrapping my arms around him. He sighs again, but kind of in a happy way. He puts his arms around me. We just stay like that, content in the moment.

But the moment suddenly ends when I hear the noise of the door closing. "Joe?" I hear Mark shout and suddenly Mark and Jack run into the room, stop, look at the ring on my finger and suddenly both scream at the same time. "It worked!" Jack screeched and all of us start laughing.

"I'm so e-excited!" Mark says, giving us both a hug. "I want to join the hug!" Jack says, wrapping his arms around us. "When's the wedding?" Jack jokes and Joe and I look at each other. "Next year" I say confidently and Joe just shrugs his shoulders, nodding. "If she wants it next year it's next year" He jokes, smiling at me.

"We will have to have a beautiful venue. Do you want a church? Hm, maybe that's too traditional. Oh you'll have to pick out a dress! Do you want a white dress? Your eyes would look so nice in white and-" Mark begins to list out all the things that we will need to get done. The rest of us just look at each other and burst out laughing. Mark just looks at us, confused.

I feel great, but there's something in the back of my mind telling me something isn't right. Hannah. But I can't just leave everyone right now and go see her. We have to celebrate, also I think Joe thinks that Hannah and I have some secret love affair, which isn't true. If I leave he will think I'm cheating or something.

I push the thought to the back of my brain and smile at everyone laughing and celebrating together. Everyone is so happy. For once, I'm actually happy too.

Joe's POV

This is the best day of my life. I don't think even the wedding will be able to beat this day. This is the day I got Laura back. Now I just have to make everything completely right again.

"So, now that everything is kind of back to normal can I come home with you?" I ask Laura, who's just finished her second glass of white wine. She hesitates before answering. "Of course! But it's an absolute dump" She adds, laughing. I laugh too, pouring myself a glass of wine. "Who have you been staying with since the whole... you know" She asks, putting down her glass.

"Oh well, I was staying with my friend Jake for a while in his flat, but I think he was getting sick of me" I joke, Laura smiles. "So much has happened since you left, but now I just want everything to be put back into place. Like a jigsaw puzzle I suppose" Laura says, getting closer to me. "I want that too" I say, putting down my glass and holding her hands.

She smiles, getting even closer to me. Music was playing, Jack and Mark had gone to get a cake. We were by ourselves. The music changes from pop to "Thinking Out Loud" (CAN WE TALK ABOUT ED BRINGING OUT NEW MUSIC YESSSSS)

"I love you" I whisper, Laura smiles again for the millionth time today. "I love you too" She says. 'Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars' I look out the window, the sunset was gone and was now replaced with stars. I kiss Laura. This is the best moment of my life.

For now, anyways.
