amnesia // l.h. (DISCONTINUED)

➳Chapter 8

➳Alaina's POV

It's been a week since I last talked to Luke. I just don't know what to say since I read the letter.

I feel so bad because I never thought about what everyone else is feeling since the accident. I just thought that they were all for okay since they didn't get hurt or anything.

I know that sounds really selfish, but I just didn't think about that.

But now I know that they are hurt just as much as I am, maybe even more.

-----

My mum and me were currently at the mall. I had to get some dress for one of her work dinners, I was being forced to go to.

"What about this one?" My mum asked, holding up a black dress that had long sleeves and the length of the dress went all the way down to the floor. Did I mention it had a horrible purple looking flower on one of the shoulders?

"Mum, I know your trying to help, but please just stop." I said, laughing a little bit.

Mum put the dress back and laughed, "I'm sorry Hun, I just don't know what style you like. I think I'm going to go find me some heels, while you pick out a dress." She said, walking away.

I continued looking at the dresses until I found two.

One was just a plain black one with a sweetheart neckline, the straps were like in inch wide, it flared out at the waist, and stopped a little lower than mid-thigh.

The second looked like the first one, but didn't have the sweetheart neckline, the straps were maybe two inches wider than the other dress, and it also had a stud belt that went with it.

"I like the plain black one." A voice said.

I turned around to see Luke standing behind me.

"I mean the plain black one that doesn't come with a belt." He said, rubbing the back of his neck.

I smiled at how awkward he was.

I put the dress that came with the belt back where it was and turned around.

"Wanna see what it looks like on me?" I asked, walking towards the dressing rooms.

"Uh,yeah sure." Luke followed behind.

I went into the dressing room then came out with the dress on.

"How does it look?" I asked.

Luke stood still and his eyes went wide.

"You look wow. It's amazing, Alaina. I mean you look amazing."

"Then I guess I'll get this one." I ran my hands down the dress to flatten it out some.

"Why do you need a dress, anyways? Not that it's any of my business, I was just wondering."

"I have to go to some fancy dinner party with my mum. You could come if you want to." I suggested.

Luke shook his head, "I don't know..."

"Please, I'm not going to know anyone there except my parents. Please, Luke. Please." I practically begged.

"Fine, I'll go, but you owe me." Luke grinned.

I nodded my head okay then went back into the dressing room to change back into my clothes.

------

I paid for the dress then went in search for my mum.

Luke was helping me, "So, were you here shopping?" I asked.

"Isn't that what your supposed to do in a mall?" Luke chuckled.

I rolled my eyes, jokingly.

"Oh Luke, hi!" My mum said, pulling Luke into a hug.

"Hi, Mrs.Noble."

"Did you pick out a dress?" Mum motioned towards the bag in my hand.

"Yep, technically Luke picked it out."

"I just suggested that one." Luke butted in.

Mum looked inside the bag and smiled.

"Well, good suggestion Luke." She said.

Luke's phone then went off.

He looked at it.

"I actually have to go. It was nice to see you Mrs.Noble. Text me about that dinner?" Luke said, walking backwards.

I nodded my head okay.

Then watched Luke walk away.

------

"Mum, I invited Luke to the dinner. Is that okay?" I asked, while sitting on the couch beside my mum.

"That's fine." She replied reading some book she had bought at the mall.

I went up the stairs and into my bedroom.

I opened my closet door, to hang my new dress up, when I saw a black box placed on a shelf above my clothes.

Grabbing my desk chair, I drug it over to the closet and stood on it.

I grabbed the box.

Walking towards my bed, I opened the box and looked at what was inside.

Inside was a camera.

A black Nikon.

I turned it on and found out that there were some pictures on it.

I looked thru the pictures to see that all of them had me and Luke in them, just like all the other pictures in my room. As I was looking I saw that there was a video.

I played the video.

"Alaina's hiding under the covers. She says she looks hideous, but she's lying, she looks beautiful." Luke said tugging at the covers.

"Come here, you don't look bad. I mean look at me, I look bad." Luke motioned at his face.

"Your right, you do look pretty bad." I said, from under the covers.

"You're so mean." Luke made a pouting face. I laughed.

"I was just being nice, you actually don't look nice, so stay under the covers." Luke made a weird face at the camera.

"I hate you." I muffled.

Luke laughed, "I was joking, you're the most beautiful girl in the world."

I pulled the covers off of my head and looked up at Luke.

"Really?"

Luke nodded his head yes, "You're gorgeous. I love you."

"I love you too." I leaned up towards Luke.

Then we kissed.

It was more like making out, actually.

Luke pulled away.

"We're going to have to stop before this video turns into porn." Luke chuckled.

I smacked Luke's arm and gasped, "Shut up, you're an idiot."

Luke just pecked my lips then smiled at me.

I smiled back.

Just by my smile, I could see how in love me and Luke were before the accident.

We were so happy.

So in love.
