Beside You || lrh 2013 MAJOR EDITING

Disasters (Chapter 46)

•Luke's POV•

I woke up to find out I was back in my bedroom. After a long time, I'm finally on my bed again. It's still quite hollow to me. I know it wasn't quite necessary to pack things up but I didn't want my brothers to go over my stuff.

When I got home last night, my family was having dinner. I slowly opened the front door and placed down my things in the living room. I then slowly walked inside the dining room that made my mother stand up immediately and went to me to hug me. My brothers did the same same and so did my dad. The feeling of coming home and surprising your family is amazing. They asked me how it went and why we were home. They were really happy to see me and they said there were tons of changes.

I walked into the fresh morning of Sydney. The leaves danced around my feet as I walked down the street. I was going to Zee's house. We were going to surprise Stella today and I'm drop dead excited to see her once again. I missed her hair, her eyes and how cute she was whenever she gets awkward around me. I remembered that last dinner at Calum's house and the night I asked her to be my girlfriend.

I know we're not together anymore but I love her and she loves me. We can work it out once again, right? I mean, we've been best friends before it all.

I knocked on Zee's front door and waited there. I was jeans and a Vans shirt and my Vans (lol). I heard a door slam and a muffled: "Luke's here!" Then the door opened. Zee was standing there in blue jeans and a striped three-fouths and pink flat shoes. Her hair was tied in a pony tail. Her hair color was a lot more lighter than freshmen year. The blue and pink mix was amazingly blended within each other.

"So, we're going to Stell's house, right?" Zee asked.

I looked at her. "Yep. I'm really excited to see her again. I'm even wondering what she's gonna say." I sighed.

"That's okay, I'm pretty sure she's gonna be really happy," Zee smiled. "I even want to see Kellin. You do remember him, right?"

"Yeah, he still goes to school in Silla," I said. "And we're actually still not in a good.. you know, with each other."

"What?" Zee said. "No way! That was still way back in freshmen year!"

I nodded. "I agree. But he's the one. Not me."

Zee shook her head. "He's changed a lot," she said. "It all started when you said you liked me. You two were so close to each other before. You know, football and stuff."

"Yeah, he liked you a lot. Maybe that's why he held a grudge over me," I said.

"Sorry about that, Hemmings," Zee said.

"That's alright, Tristan," I said.

We reached Stella's house and spotted three people on the front lawn. A guy, a girl with pink tips and another with golden ones.

"Is.. Is that Kristen and Calum?" Zee asked.

"Who's the girl with the golden tips?" I asked.

"I don't know, I haven't been here."

We got closer and entered the lawn. The girl with them was Trisha. She was so different now. There was such a big change in her.

"Hemmings!" She said, hugging me. "You're home too. Who's this?"

"This is Zee," I said. "She's me and the boys' friend back in freshmen year."

"Hi," Trisha smiled.

"Hi," Zee said back.

"What are you guys doing here, I mean, did we all just plan to surpi-"

"Oh, we're not just here for a surprise," Trish cut me off. Her face was serious.
