*10:55pm*

I decide to get some water. I can feel Ashton's' presence behind me. "What're you doing?" He asks. "Getting some water." I smile. He tightens his grip around my waist and grunts. "Why are you so sexy?" He whispers in my ear. "I can't answer that." I giggle. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to tickle you!" Ashton says lifting me up from behind. "Ashton stop! The water is spilling!" I laugh. He lays me on the couch and starts to tickle me.

He stops. "There's water everywhere." I smile. "I know there is. I'll clean it later." He says leaning in to kiss me. "Okay." I smile.

...

*Monday- 1:12am*

I can't sleep here. I told Ash I would but I can't. The only thing I can do is... call my mom. I feel like I don't have anywhere else to go. I need her right now.

I quietly walk into the bathroom while Ash is sleep.

"M- mom?" I begin to say once I call her. "Rachel!" She says happily. "Hi umm... can you pick me up?" I ask. "From where?" She asks. "Uh... I'll just be at the end of the street I'm on." I say. "And the street is?" She asks. "I'll text it to you." I say hanging up the call. I quickly gather my things and I sneak out.

I run to the end of the street and I sit on the sidewalk. I text her the street name. I can't believe I'm outside at midnight. This isn't a new thing it's just... I'm usually with Luke.

...

My mom arrives. I get in the car. "Rach, what happened?" She asks. "I'll explain later." I say looking out the window. I start having this repeat in my head of everything Luke and I have done when we were younger.

*2010*

"Mom, I'm done with my homework!" I yell from upstairs. I run downstairs to her. "Now can I go out with my friends?" I smile. "Ugh fine. But what about your dinner?" She asks. "I'll save it for later bye." I say running out the door.

...

I see all of my friends. "Hey Clair!" I say. "Hey Rach!" She smiles. "So what're we doing at a park?" I giggle. "Well there's really nowhere else to go so..." she giggles. "Well that's fine." I smile sitting down. "So what happened in class today?" My friend Vanessa asks. "Well umm... I have something to confess." Clair says. "What is it?!" Vanessa and I both ask. "So-" "Hey guys." We hear a voice say. It's Calum. We see him with Luke and Michael. "Umm what're you guys doing here?" Vanessa asks. "Vanessa, don't be rude." I say. "Why? Because you like Luke?" She giggles. "Vanessa!" I yell. "It's okay." Luke giggles. "Mind if we stay?" Michael asks. "No not at all." Clair says. "I'm gonna get some water at the water fountain." I say.

I get to the water fountain. "So Rachel." I hear someone say. "Luke... you scared me." I giggle. "Sorry. I just wanted to you know... talk to you- if that's what you want." He says. "Sure I guess we can." I smile sitting on the bench.

"Umm... about what Vanessa said..." I begin to say. "It's fine. You're pretty cute." He blushes. "Oh uh... thanks." I blush. "So..." Luke says looking around. "Aww look at you flirting." We hear Calum say. "Shut up Cal." Luke says. "He really likes you." Calum whispers to me. "I heard that." Luke says. "So." Calum says walking away. I start to giggle. "What's so funny?" Luke asks. "You." I smile. "What? I'm not funny." He smiles. Out hands touch. "Oh uh... sorry." I say. "There's no need to be sorry." Luke smiles.

*Present*

I start to giggle. "Why are you laughing?" My mom asks. "Nothing I just... I think of funny things." I smile. If only I could be that 13 year old girl who had a crush on Luke again.
