Chapter 2

Luke's POV

----------------

"Wow, I really love you," I dragged on as I hugged my beautiful girlfriend of 5 months. "You're so perfect."

"Says you," continued Grace, slightly blushing. She looked down at our intertwined hands. "I really love you back, babe." She smiled at me, slowly leaning in to give a quick peck on my cheek. She closed her eyes as I watched her every move. I was going to miss her. I was going to miss her so much. I was going to miss her laugh, the way she scrunches her nose. I was going to miss the way she would randomly kiss me, even in public. I was going to miss her smile, yes, the thing she always made when she saw me. I was going to miss her.

"I can't leave you," I started. I was feeling sad. Yes, I, Luke Hemmings was feeling sad. I was a pretty happy person, but I had the right reasons to be. I was happy with my life. Except for the fact that I had to change back and forth from Australia and England because of my parents. "I'm gonna miss you, G." 

She looked up at me, with her dark brown eyes as she fluttered her eyelashes. "When does your flight leave?" She sort of whispered, her voice cracking from the tears that were starting to form. 

"In 4 hours. I have to leave in an hour to drive to the airport though." I was going back to Australia for the sake of my mum. I missed her tons and I missed my friends back home, but I was going to miss my girlfriend. 

I met Grace at a movie theatre. I believe it was the movie Endless Love and she was sitting by herself at the end. One seat was left and it was right next to her. So there I sat. I don't know why I was going to go see a chick flick or whatever category it was considered. I just did, and personally it's great and all, but I thought those movies were dumb in the outcome. That stuff doesn't happen. But now I realise, it does. As I sat down next to her, worried that she would be afraid that some weird ass guy was just going to sit down next to her, but I did anyway. I had no choice. Well, during the movie she cried and God was it the cutest thing ever. After the end, she apoligised for crying and being such a mess. We just began to talk and that's when we both realised that we go to the same school, she was just younger.  And to this day, I love her. 

She began to let her tears out and she fell into my lap, hugging my knees. "Don't let me go." She mumbled, but I heard her. 

"How could I ever? I'm going to call you -try- every night because I won't be able to live without your voice or your laugh or your I love you's. I'm going to need that to survive this goddamn summer." I rested my chin down on her back as a couple tears began to form in my eyes. Man, was I going to miss her.

For the longest of time, we sat in the best of silence, enjoying one anothers presence. Her cries soon settled and I rubbed her back and kept kissing the back of her neck, underneath her messy, light brown bun. I was going to miss the ways how she didn't care how she looked in front of me. 

15 minutes until I had to let my love go for the summer...or more. I honestly am sure I won't be able to handle it, but I have to try.

I was leaving some of school behind because that was the only flight that wasn't filled up. It was the second to last day of school, and I could have went, but I didn't want to because I wanted to see Grace more than the school teachers that made a hell of a life.

"15 minutes, and you're out the door," Grace sat up, still on my lap, and wrapped her tan arms around my neck. Looking into my eyes, she spoke quietly. "I love you, Luke Robert Hemmings." 

Before I leaned in to kiss her blush, pink lips, I also spoke quietly. "But I love you more Grace Eleanor Parker." I leaned in to get to her lips, which formed into mine as one. We kissed for small seconds. I stared into her blue eyes. I definitley wouldn't forget those.

I carried her like a baby off of my lap and set her to stand on her feet on the floor. She reached for my hand and I happily accepted it. I squeezed it gently and she laughed with tears in her eyes.

I definitley, probably seem like...dramatic about leaving my love, but if you really love someone, you feel, I don't know, hopeless. Hopelessly in love. I was hopelessly in love with Grace Eleanor Parker.

I grabbed the handle to the front door, and slipping my hand out of hers. I gave her a kiss and before I turned away to walk out, I said my last words to her before I was gone. "Grace Eleanor, I am hopelessly in love with you."
