The Secret

eighteen

Bailey POV

"I don't want you to leave." I pouted as Luke made his way to my door. He turned around, slumming.

"I don't want to either, baby." He whispered, cupping my face in his hands. I pouted as I closed the gap between them. He pulled away slowly, making me frown. "You know, I have an idea." He said to me. "Why don't you come with me?"

I backed up, holding his hands in mine. "You want me to just drop everything and leave?" I asked, gasping in a way. He nodded.

At first I was surprised, and didn't know what to think. Luke now knew my secret, and if I had left, I would have to take all my medication with me. That would be risking the fact of the boys finding out.

I had only just made peace with the idea of my problem, even though i've had it for forever. That's why people have been asking how I was, and how I was feeling.

But the look on Luke's face killed me. He had a look that made him seem hopeful. But he looked like he could break if I said no. So I sucked it up. "You know what," I started, moving closer towards him. "I'd love to." Then I slammed my lips against his.

He pulled back after a minute or so. "Well, we need to pack!"

"The boys are going to be so happy when they see you." I nodded, excitingly. Luke had went ahead and bought me a plane ticket as I was packing, and we actually got seats together, which made me happy.

We were making our way to the airport in the Uber, and he was just paying attention to driving, even though Luke Hemmings was in his car. I know he'll use that later.

We were seated on a plane, Luke taking the window, me in the middle, and some woman next to me. She looked about like she was in her 50's. She smiled at me as we began flying.

Luke soon fell asleep on me, while I was reading a book. "What are you reading, if you don't mind me asking?" The lady asked me.

"Oh! I'm reading The Notebook." Her mouth turned into a smile.

"I loved that movie."

"As did I." I smiled back at her. Before I went back to my book, she talked to me again.

"That your boyfriend?" I nodded at her. "You guys are cute."

"Thankyou."

"How long have you two been together."

"About 3-4 months. We were kind of together longer, but we called it official around then." She smiled at me.

"What's his name?"

"Luke."

"What a wonderful name! And yours?"

"Bailey."

"That's really cute. I think you guys will have cute children one day." My smile faded.

"Y-yeah. I would think so too." I fake smiled before I continued reading, and her watxhing The Golden Girls.

Luke then woke up, taking my hand. "You okay?" He asked. I lightly nodded, turning my attention to my book, him sighing, holding my hand tighter. "I love you."

"I love you too."
