Falling Apart || l.h

Chapter 20

Luke's POV:

My dog Molly runs up to me and throws himself in my lap.

Araina looks shocked.

"Aw! Whats it's name?" She asks.

"Molly," I reply.

She starts petting her and Molly soon goes into her lap.

"Well, dinner is ready. Come on Araina," my mom says.

We sit down for dinner with my parents on the other side of the table from us.

I try to read my parents face, but it's pretty hard. The good thing is that it looks like she has charmed them just like she charmed me.

Her smile, her laugh, the way she talks that makes me feel like she could persuade me to do anything.

I squeeze her hand from under the table as she asks my mom how she made the pasta. She tightly squeezes it back.

When we are finished with dinner, Araina helps my mom put the dishes in the dishwasher and sits down in the living room again.

"I'm going to take Araina up to see my room," I say.

"Alright," my mom says.

I nod my head and take Araina's hand dragging her upstairs.

"Woah!" She says as soon as I open the door to my room.

"What?" I ask.

"Nothing, it's just so creative. Your room," she says.

"Thanks, I did the wallpaper myself, and the hanging guitars," I answer.
She sits down on my bed.

I take my guitar and sit next to her.
I play the first song that comes to my mind.

**********************

As soon as I wake up and wash my face I run downstairs.

Before I get into the kitchen, I take a deep breath so they don't notice that I was running.

I walk into the kitchen. The T.V is on and my parents are watching and eating.

"Morning," I say.

"Good morning," my mom replies.

"Morning," my dad says.

I start off with some cereal and milk.
How do I ask them? I wish my mom would say something.

"So are you going over to Araina's today?" My dad asks.

"Yeah," I reply.

"She was a lovely girl," my mom comments. Finally.

"Indeed she was. Luke, I need to ask something from you," my dad says.

"Yeah dad?" I answer.

"When you met her, did she know that you are in the band?" He asks.

"No, I told her myself," I reply.

"Alright than. I have to go, I'm late for work. Come back soon," he says as he gets up and leaves.

"She was charming. I understand how you fell for her so fast," my mom adds.

I smile as I look down at my cereal.

So if you're wondering what happened in the past three weeks between me and Araina, well lets just say our love only grew stronger.

We got mobbed a few times by some paparazzi but we were sure to be informed so before they could snap any shots of her she would walk in a different direction.

It's not that I didn't want anyone to know about me and her. It's exactly the opposite. I want everyone to know about her.

It's just that we both agreed she felt better that way.

I stand up and go to my room. I see my phone is ringing. Its Araina.

"Hello?" I say as I pick it up.

"Hey," she says.

"What's up?" I ask as I plop myself on my bean bag.

"Nothing much. Tell me. What did your parents say, Luke. Hurry up!" She squeals.

"About what?" I pretend.

"Luke!" She nearly screams.

"Well, they weren't too happy. I don't know Araina," I say.

"Seriously?" She says. The happiness in her voice starts to fade.

I let out a big laugh so she understands I was kidding.

"No worries, you charmed both of them," I calm her.

She sighs and takes a deep breath.

"So tonights your turn," she says.

"It most definitely is," I say back.

"Okay so I have to go get ready. Talk to you later," she says.

"Where?" I ask.

"Lunch with some friends," she answers.

"Alright. Have fun," I say.

"Thanks. Luke?" She asks.

What's she going to ask? She only has this tone when there's something serious going on.
