Lukas POV
So this is it. I texted Danny that my mum is taking me back to school. I just wasn't ready for having Aaron to close. I felt jiggly. My stomach hurt and i had i feeling i'll throw up. I knew this is it. Danny answered that Aaron was trying to find out which song i'm gonna sing and that calmed me down a bit. Knowing he still cares. And i convinced myself that by the end of the night i'll have my boyfriend back.

Aarons POV
I was waiting for Danny by the car. I was nervous and i couldn't even explain why. Danny was weird the whole day. He had this smile on his face that i didn't understand and i made me nervous. I know he still wants me and Lukas to talk and i can only hope he is planning something i won't like.

Professor was glad to see me and we checked everything one more time. I was trying not to but couldn't resist to check at the stage from time to time. When Lukas finally came on stage with his guitar i just stood there and stare. God was he beautiful. He was wearing dark skinny jeans and a shirt.. a shirt that looked familiar.. I turned away but just had to check again. I looked at the shirt. It was mine! He was wearing my favorite t-shirt and i understood Dannys weird smile from before.

Lukas POV
He noticed his t-shirt. I could feel his eye drilling. I decided it's better to avoid him until the show starts. It just felt amazing wearing his shirt. I know it was freshly washed but to me it smelled like him.

Aarons POV
Was he declaring his love in that way? Did he think it will help him with me forgiving him? Why is he wearing my shirt?? WHY?
I was turning to a freak. i had to clear my head so i went outside. People started coming for the show. It looked like it's gonna be full and that meant more money for charity. I wonder what Lukas will choose to do with it if he wins?
I was so worked up in my thoughts that i didn't see Brian coming towards me. When i realized that i was to late.
"uu the princess is back.. you might have avoided me this week but i'll see you monday "
He laughed hard and his monkey friends were making some weird noises when they went inside the school. I started shaking, just thinking about monday when i felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw Danny "he won't hurt you again i promise. He is destroying his future with bullying trust me"
I felt a bit better. We went inside after that. Everything was ready for recording so my work was done for tonight. So Danny was taking me to our chairs.
"Danny? what's going on?"
"what do you mean?"
"why do i sit next to Lukas mum?"
"amm.. his and my parents were always sitting together so we are just joining them. I mean all of our friends are behind stage getting ready so.."
And there was his stupid smile again. Jeez is there more then Lukas wearing my shirt and me sitting next to his mum?? Grr.. i hated when something is happening behind my back.

The show finally started so i could relax my mind and not try to figure out what is going on.
There were some pretty funny performances. I mean some people have quite some confidence.. And then the music teacher came on stage to announce Lukas and Emilys performance.
Lukas came on stage alone and he looked extremely nervous. And beautiful.. Still so beautiful.

Dannys POV
I could feel how stiff Aaron became the minute Lukas came on stage. He started rubbing his his hands and i held one of his hand and looked at him saying everything is gonna be ok. He calmed a little.
Luk came on stage as nervous as Aaron was. He stood infront of the microphone and tried to calm down. His mum suddenly stood up and encouraged him "Lukas honey you can do it! i'm so proud "
I felt Aarons drilling eyes moving from Lukas mum to me and back on stage.
And then Lukas found the courage.
"good evening everyone..we are finishing this evening a bit different that the other years. There will be no winner this year because all the performances were awesome and because we all agree what the money is for this year."
He cleared his throw closed his eyes for a second to concentrate.
"we all know bullying is unfortunately found in every school."

Aarons POV
What? Why? no please.. this is not good..
I hardly breath and had to fight hard with myself to focus back on Lukas who was saying "we all have witnessed bullying during our time in school and most of the time we did nothing. Because we didn't want to get in trouble. I witnessed a bravery this school year.. Well not just me the whole canteen did.. when someone stood up to the bullies not thinking about what kind of trouble that can bring to him. i would like to introduce you a few people.."
I saw Mia coming on stage And Liam right behind her.
"This are my friends Mia and Liam. Mia was bullied all the way through through primary school. She was called fat, ugly and slut on daily bases. She never told anyone because she was afraid.. and it was almost to late for her when her parents found out what was going on"
A boy from a few of my classes came on stage.
"this is Derek. He is a senior and he tried to commit a suicide. He was bullied since the beginning of high school. He was pushed down the stairs several times. He suffered broken arm, broken rib and bruises all over his body"
And then the boy from the canteen came on stage.
"and this is James..he came out to his friends- well he thought they were his friends.. he is gay and that is the reason why he was a target for bullies. He was outed infront of most of the school during lunch break and we were all just witnessing it. Until someone stood up. Someone dared to stand up and fight. He didn't think about what that means for him. He didn't think about a chance to be bullied because of that. He woke some of us up.. maybe late but he did. So the money this year goes to open a safe place for everyone that was ever bullied and needs help.There will be a professional help as long as volunteers.. because we want bullying to stop. And for that we informed the principal who the bullies in our school are. At least the ones we know off. It's time to stop it"

Most of the people stood up clapping like crazy.I stood up crying. What they did was amazing and i was so proud of him. But i didn't understand why he did that until i saw Emily waking to the stage and Lukas stepped infront of the mic again.

Lukas POV
This is it.. All or nothing.. i asked people to sit back down before i said
"one part of my performance is over but there is more. I still owe you a song. And i still owe someone my honest apology. There is something i want to share with all of you"
I took deep breath "i'm gay.. and because of being afraid of bullies i lost the most important person in my life. I know now that being gay doesn't make me worth any less. I can love and be happy just like everybody else. So this song is for you my love"
