'Thank you so much for coming in on New Year's Eve, lads! How was your Christmas?' Smallzy beamed into the radio microphone.

'It was good. It was nice to have a bit of time off and see our families again. I didn't realise how much I missed my little brother until I got home.' Ashton giggled, adjusting his headphones and sitting up straighter in his seat to pull his t shirt down.

'Lovely. So you're staying in Australia and then what? What's the plan for you guys?'

'We're staying in Australia for a bit, maybe do a couple of shows and then it's a surprise.' Ashton smirked. Luke was staring at his cup of tea, watching the ripples every time someone jolted the table. Smallzy continued the interview for a little while longer, trying to squeeze spoilers out of them.

'Now, I have a little surprise for you in the studio.' Smallzy's gaze was fixed on Luke.

'Luke, I understand that there has been some recent heartache in your life?'

'You could say that.' Luke mumbled, swallowing hard.

'Well there's someone here who has something to say.' Smallzy beckoned through the glass window and the door opened, revealing a very jet-lagged Bridgette. Luke's heart soared as butterflies erupted from seeing her.

'Oh my god, Bridgette.' Luke stood from his chair and pulled her into a hug, squeezing her just as hard as he did when they said their goodbye's. They pulled away, but stayed holding each other. Bridgette stroked down Luke's face with her forefinger, smiling when Luke kissed her hand.

'I never thought I'd see you again.' Luke whispered, pressing his forefinger against Bridgette's.

'I know. I overreacted and I'm so sorry. My head told me no but my heart was never going to give up on you.' Bridgette whispered back, her palms pressed against Luke's chest. 'We've been through too much to give up now.'

'I love you so much, Bridgette.'

'I love you so much more, Hemmings.' They sealed the embrace with a short kiss (public displays of affection didn't appeal to them) and Luke sat back down, pulling Bridgette onto his lap.

'This is a good New Year's present, ay lads?' Smallzy laughed. 'Let's welcome Bridgette to the show!'

'Hi everyone.' Bridgette smiled over at the other boys, reaching out to touch Michael's hand before looking back at the DJ.

'So, tell me, how did you and Luke meet? Was it love at first sight?'

'Well...' Bridgette looked down at her fading nail polish. 'It's kind of a boring story to be completely honest.'

'Hey, boring is good! Just no cliche nonsense.' Smallzy laughed.

'Luke and I actually met online. I was 14 and he was 15. I guess we became friends, got to know each other and... yeah. Here we are now.' Bridgette took hold of Luke's hands and squeezed them gently.

'And you've been together all this time?'

'Almost 3 years, yeah.' Bridgette sighed. 3 years with her lifesaver.

'Wow... Do you guys not get sick of each other?'

'When you're with 5 Seconds of Summer 95% of the time, nothing is boring.' Bridgette giggled, setting the other boys off.

'Well, thanks so much for coming onto our show, stay tuned for music from these guys, along with Calvin Harris and Sam Smith. See you in a few.' Smallzy hit a few buttons so as the soundproof room they were sitting in was off air. The boys group hugged Bridgette, showering her with 'we missed you's. Once they gave Bridgette some breathing room, they exited the radio station and made they way through hundreds of screaming fans to go home. Bridgette's hand was constantly in Luke's just to make sure she didn't lose him again.

'How long are you here for, Didge?' Michael asked, his mouth filled with the cookie Bridgette had made.

'As long as you want me. I flew out with a one-way ticket so I'm kind of stuck here.' She giggled, snuggling against Luke. The car journey was short and the weather was completely different to LA. There was glorious sunshine and the heat was almost unbearable. Once they arrived at Luke's house, Bridgette rushed into Luke's room to change into her swimming costume. 

'If you know what's good for you, you'll get out of the way!' Bridgette yelled, rushing through the house and jumping into the pool. A loud groan came from her mouth as she re-surfaced from her belly flop. The cool water was heaven on her skin. Luke joined her soon after and swam around her, taking her waist into his hands.

'Do you two kids what anything from the shops?' Liz called out.

'Do you want anything?' Luke asked, their faces dangerously close to each other.

'I wouldn't mind some iced tea.' Bridgette mumbled, suddenly feeling rude.

'Didge wants iced tea!'

'Okay, I'll be back in an hour. Don't stay in the water too long.' Liz slid the conservatory door shut, leaving Luke and Bridgette by themselves. They stayed close together, their breaths falling in sync as the water cooled their bodies down. 

'So... I've been thinking..' Bridgette started, but she was cut off by Luke's lips on hers. His hands moved down her hips to her thighs where he gripped hold of her legs to pulled them around his hips. He walked forward in the pool so as Bridgette was backed up against the wall. Luke's tongue grazed along Bridgette's bottom lip, begging for donimance. The kiss was hot and full of passion.

'I want to.' Luke mumbled against Bridgette's neck as his hands moved to cup her bum. Bridgette groaned in a mixture of pleasure and annoyance. Luke ignored it and continued kissing lower down Bridgette's chest.

'I want you... so bad.' Luke lifted Bridgette's tankini top so as he could touch more of her skin.

'I know. I do too.' Bridgette sighed as Luke's hands explored more of her body. 'But we can't.'

'What? Why?' Luke stopped, pulling away from Bridgette just enough so that he could see her face.

'It's not that I don't want to. I do. I mean, I really do. But mother nature doesn't.' Bridgette stroked through Luke's wet hair, pulling it into a mini mohawk.

'I don't understand...' Luke frowned, rubbing Bridgette's legs.

'I got my period on the flight here.' Bridgette sighed, wrapping her arms around Luke's lower torso and cuddling into him. Luke sighed before resting his head on top of hers.

'That sucks.' Luke sounded disappointed, and Bridgette didn't blame him. He was finally ready to lose his virginity and she had to ruin it. But all Bridgette could think about was how happy she was to be back in her safe place. She was finally home.
