Lilah's POV
I sit at home, waiting for Luke to walk through the door from the gig. I had been thinking about what Luke had asked me before he left today: Do I Still love Ashton. To be honest, I don't know if I still love Ashton, but after thinking about it, for almost 2 hours, I think I know my answer.
I hear Luke come through the door, yelling, "Best gig ever!" He sighs and sits on the couch next to me.
"That great, huh?" I ask him.
"It was fantastic! Ash and I made up so there's no awkwardness between the two of us."
"That's awesome!"
Luke gets up. "Yeah, I'm gonna go take a shower." He kisses my cheek before he goes to the bathroom.
I sigh. That gives me more time to think of how I am going to tell him my answer,
I go to make myself a cup of tea, while I wait for him to finish up in the bathroom.
As soon as I finish making my tea, Luke gets out of the bathroom and heads into the bedroom to get changed. I sigh, and head into the bedroom after him.
I knock quitely and say, "Luke? Can I come in?"
"Yeah, come on in, I'm decent."
I walk into the bedroom and he is half dressed, he is just putting on his shirt.
"What's up Lilah?"
"I need to talk to you."
He looks at me confused and sits down.
"Luke," I start. I'm so nervous. "You know how you asked me if I still loved Ashton?"
He nods.
"Well, I've really thought about this answer, and I have no idea how to tell you this. Well," I laugh as I start to tear up. "I do, I do still love Ashton. It's just that, we've been through so much in two years, and I have no idea why I left him. I've missed him so much in the past week we've been apart. Don't get me wrong, Luke. You are a great guy, and any girl would be lucky to have you. I-I just don't think that girl is me. My heart belongs to Ashton." I smile at the sudden thought of Ashton.
"I get it, Lilah. You obviously don't love me like you love Ashton. But let me tell you this: I love you Lilah. You are perfect in every way possible. And if anything happens between you and Ashton, you know where to find me." He smiles.
I smile back and kiss him full on the lips one last time.
"Thank you for understanding, Luke."
"Anytime. Now, go talk to Ashton, and try to win him back!"
"I don't think that will happen." I sigh.
"Why not?"
"He has a girlfriend."
"Who, Ryann?"
I nod.
"They're not dating, did she tell you that?" I nod again. "Well, they're not. Go! Go talk to Ashton!" Luke pushes me out the door and into my car.
I drive to Ashton's and see that he is home, and there's no other car there. Yes!
I take a deep breath before exiting my car and walking up to the door. I ring the door bell and Ashton opens the door soon after.
"Lilah? What are you doing here?" He asks, clearly puzzled.
"Ashton, I miss you. I can't move on. This past week has been hell, and I can't live without you. I don't know why I ever left and I want to come back home. Because, this is my home, not Luke's house. I miss waking up to you every morning and you playing music all the time, and singing to me. I miss it all. I want to come home." I cry.
He looks at me with glazed over eyes. He comes closer to me, and cups my face. His lips connect to mine, and our lips move in sync. He pulls away and looks into my eyes,
"I missed you, too Lilah."
