Hi guys, sorry I haven't uploaded in THE longest time! I'll try and upload a bit more frequently and I'm open to requests, just message me!

Luke's POV:

She sleeps next to me. Our clothes are strewn around the room. I watch her chest rise and fall, her lips are slightly parted and her face is pressed against the soft pillow. Her dark hair is fanned out behind her, she stirs a bit and opens her eyes slowly. I smile as she looks at me, I can she that she's thinking. Guilt washes over her face. She sits bolt up right and the bedsheets fall down her body, pooling in lap. Her chest is exposed and I can't help but stare, she is so beautiful.

She runs her hands through her hair and looks me dead in the eyes.

"Luke, this was a mistake."

"You said that last time," I smirk. This has happened more than once. She always says no and then we end up in my bed and she wholeheartedly regrets it. I don't though, whoever her fiancé is, he doesn't treat her right and she doesn't love him. As if reading my mind, she gets out of bed.

"I know what you're thinking, he doesn't treat me properly and I should leave him, but I can't. He loves me and he's right for me. What we had is fun, but it should end here. We can't do this again." 

She slips her blouse on over her milky shoulders, buttoning up as she talks to me.

"Please, Luke you have to understand."

"But you don't love him, or this wouldn't have happened." She sighs again and grabs her jeans, before sitting on the edge of the bed, her back facing me. She turns to look over her shoulder, but doesn't look me in the eye, she looks at the crumpled bedsheets.

"I love him." I think she's trying to convince herself more than me. I nod, knowing not to press her on the subject. Honestly, I love her. It's not only the sex, yes that's great, but it's also the late night chats, the messages and the fact that she acts like she doesn't care when I know she does. 

She stands up and turns to face me. 

"This," she motions at us, "cannot happen again. Ever." 

I feel my heart sunk a little at her finality. I've fallen for her, for her humour and her passion. For her dimples when she smiles, her soft skin, the mole on her stomach, her laugh. Everything about her. 

I sigh and lean back against the pillows. She'll leave and go back to her life, 100 miles away. We might bump into each other from time to time but that's it. I turn to see her putting on her jacket, she grabs her phone off the bedside table and looks at me. 

"I guess this is it," I say quietly. She smiles sadly at me, she knows how much this hurts me. I'm in love with her. 

"Goodbye, Luke." She reaches over and kisses my cheek before leaving the room. I hear the front door close as she leaves. I kind of wanted her to slam it, at least it would replicate what my heart feels.

*1 month later*

I've pretty much been moping around since she left, I know the guys are getting fed up with me. I can't write, I can't sing, I can't even bring myself to play. I can't do anything. I want to feel better, I want to forget all the pain. 

I walk to band rehearsals with a heavy heart, I know the guys are going to tell me that I need to start writing or at least help with the song writing, we need another hit. 

I walk to the studio and see all the guys talking, they turn as I walk in. Ashton comes over, he looks at me with sympathetic eyes.

"So, we've come up with some lyrics and a tune but we need your input Luke. We love you like a brother but you need to get over her man, she's going to get married and you need to move on."

Suddenly, I'm angry. Angry that Ashton has to put it so obviously. Angry that the band have been doing work without me, even though I'm not even trying.

"Fine, play me the tune and I'll help." I say curtly.

The band set up and show me the sheet music and I study it as they all tune and then play the first few chords, Calum starts singing. 

The lyrics are vague, but as I listen I think back to her. It's the first time I've fully let myself think about her since that day. It's like I've let open a flood gate. I feel so many emotions, flying at me, drowning me, suffocating me. So many words, feelings, senses. 

I turn around, searching for a pen and paper and begin to scribble lyrics. The guys stop playing, wondering what I'm doing. I raise my hand and ask them to play it again and continue to write words, they're jumbled not lyrics yet but, they make sense to me.

I grab a guitar and strum the tune they guys taught me, messing up a few times but eventually getting it. I sing the words I wrote down, but keep stopping and changing words, scribbling it out and starting again.

The guys gather round, chipping in to the song writing. Finally after an hour, Calum gets up and stretches.

"Let's try it then," he says. We all pick up our instruments and tune. We begin the song, just playing it through, no pauses and no breaks. Just listening to how it sounds.

We strum the last chord and all smile at each other.

It's done.

Her POV:

I get into the car after a long day, I rub the back of my neck and sigh. Time to go home. I haven't thought about Luke for a while. I can't. I've already been so unfaithful. The thoughts just make it worse. I turn on the ignition and switch on the radio. The presenter announces the number 1 song in the charts this week. I begin to reverse out of the parking lot but, my heart stops when I hear the name of the band. 5 Seconds of Summer. Luke's band. I stop and listen as the acoustic guitar begins and the lyrics touch my heart.

For a while we pretended
That we never had to end it
But we knew we'd have to say goodbye

...

Torn in two
And I know I shouldn't tell you
But I just can't stop thinking of you
Wherever you are
You
Wherever you are
Every night I almost call you
Just to say it always will be you
Wherever you are
