Niall's Sister [L.H.]

13. Date and Temper

Jacklynn's POV

It has been a week since Luke and I had our talk in the hallway. Not too much has happened, we haven't really had the time to do anything. The boys have all had concerts every day, except one that they had off and slept through. Luke stayed in my room that day, but fell asleep not long after he came in. I've been extremely bored this week. I've been dragged along to a few interviews, but Niall refused to let me on the shows. I've been texting Meghan a lot, but she is at work a ton. Really, all I do now is scroll on my Instagram and Tumblr feed.

Today the 5SOS boys had off, and as I figured they where all still asleep. It was only 10am, usually I would still be asleep myself, but due to a certain boy with blue eyes I didn't get much sleep last night. Niall said that him and the guys had an interview at 7 this morning and wouldn't be seeing me until the show tonight. At the moment, I was watching Teen Nick, since I couldn't find anything else to do. Currently Zoey 101 was on and it had my full attention as I laid on the edge of by bed on my stomach,. I hadn't seen it in years.

A loud knock came from my door, making me jump and fall off my bed. I gave out a loud groan, landing on my back. "One second." I said as loud as I could, rubbing the back of my head. I slowly got up, rubbing my back as I walked to the door. "Who is it?" I asked before opening it. "It's Luke." he smiled as I saw his face. I grinned back, the pain in my back vanishing and my entire body feeling like mush. "Hi." I smiled, a small giggle escaping my lips as I opened the door wider, letting him in. "Hi." he chuckled back. He was dressed, unlike me, in his black skinny jeans and Nirvana shirt. "I was expecting you to still be asleep." I laughed, closing the door. He walked to my bed and sat on the edge, grin on his face. "I couldn't sleep," he said, pulling his legs up and crossing them. "I figured you wouldn't mind my presence." he smirked. I rolled my eyes and made my way to my suitcase, planning to get my outfit for today. "Right." I laughed, grabbing my red flannel and black tank top. "Pfft, you love me." he stood up from my bed, walking up behind me. "Love? Nah, I can barely stand you." I rolled my eyes, picking up a pair of jean shorts. He rolled his eyes as I looked at him, turning to face him. I smiled, as he looked back at me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You are so cute." he said before kissing me on the cheek, making my entire face go red as I looked down at my bare feet.. "I am going to change." I giggled, keeping my head down. "Okay." Luke mumbled, kissing my head before letting me go.

My mind was in a haze as I put on my clothes and makeup, all I could think of was Luke. He really did know how to make my mind go crazy and my insides feel like fireworks. I walked out of the bathroom while pulling on my flannel, only to find Luke sitting on the foot of my bed, legs hanging of the side and head down. "Hey." I said, walking to him. He looked up and smiled, "Hey." I sat next to him on my bed, pulling my legs up and crossing them. "What'cha doin'?" I asked, folding my hands in front of me. "Just tweeting." he sounded a little nervous as he stuffed his phone in his pocket. "What's wrong? You sound nervous." I asked him, raising my eyebrow. He grabbed my hand and began playing with my fingers, as if to distract himself. "Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to ask you something." he whispered, keeping his eyes on our hands. "And what would that be?" I giggled, glancing at our fingers. "Well, I, uh, was just wondering if maybe you would want to go out for lunch? I mean since your brother is going to be at the arena all day and I don't have sound check till 4-" he began rambling. I rolled my eyes and kissed his cheek, making him shut up. "Are you asking me on a date, Hemmings?" I asked, tilting my head to the side as he finally looked up at me. I knew he was, I just wanted to hear him say it. "Maybe." he whispered, looking back down at our hands. I smiled, "Then yes, I will go out with you to lunch." He looked up at me, a large smile on his face. "Then lets get going."

My laugh began to die down as we stood in front of the back door to the arena, Luke's chuckling also dying down. We stood there in silence, staring at each other while each of our hands swung side to side next to us. We where finally back at the arena, our date almost at a close. A small smile could be seen on both of our faces, lost in thought. I glanced down at our hands, in love with the way mine fit perfectly with his. "So, I guess this is where it ends." Luke whispered, sighing. I nodded, looking back up at him. We both knew it meant more than just our date. "I guess it is." I bit my lip. I really wish it wouldn't have to end, us being together. I wish we could still be together in front of everyone. I wish Niall wasn't so damn protective. "We are going to go out again, that's a promise." he said, pulling me into a hug. "Okay." I giggled, burying my face into his shirt as I hugged him back. I felt him kiss my head, just like he had done many times before. He always kissed my head, whether it was when he was telling me goodnight or at random times. It was his 'thing.'

We let go of our embrace after a minute. "Thank you, by the way." I smiled at him as he opened up the door, holding it for me as I began to walk in. "For what?" he asked, following behind me. "For paying for me." I said, and I could feel his eye roll as I turned towards him. "It was nothing, Jackie. It isn't something you need to thank me for." he shook his head as he walked next to me. "Plus, it was only McDonalds. It isn't a big fancy five star meal." he smirked down at me. "And even if it was, I would still pay for you." he chuckled and I rolled my eyes. We had talked about this a good amount of time on the walk to the arena, if you couldn't already tell. "Whatever." I sighed, choosing to let it go for now. Niall could turn up at any second and ask us what we were talking about, and we didn't need to add onto the trail of lies we where and would be making.

After a good five minutes of walking around to find the stage, we finally made it to see my brother and the other boys almost finished with their sound check. They were running around the stage, singing Little Things like they were tone deaf. No one realised that Luke and I were there until we bursted out laughing, along with the other boys, as Harry tripped over his own feet, face planting into the ground. Niall turned around, but his laugh went down a bit when he saw Luke and I standing there. "Jacklynn!" Niall yelled from the stage, sitting on the edge then hopping off. "Hey, Ni." I smiled at him as he walked towards us. He had the look on his face. The 'I Don't Like What I Am Seeing' look. "Shouldn't you still be at the hotel?" Niall asked me in monotone, lifting an eyebrow. "Well, I was hungry and Luke was nice enough to drive me." I told him, trying my hardest not to roll my eyes. "Any friend would do it for another friend." Luke said, nodding. "Alright, well that's good." Niall fake smiled. "Luke can I speak to you for a moment. Alone." he looked towards Luke, my eyes rolled internally. "Uh, yeah." Luke nodded, turning around as he gave me a knowing glance before walking to the hall. "Oh, someone is waiting for you backstage." Niall told me before walking after Luke to the hallway. I nodded, turning to the stage. Who could be waiting for me?

Luke's POV

I sighed as I walked into the hallway, hearing Niall's footsteps behind me. No doubt he was going to yell at me again, or something along the lines of yelling. I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes, preparing myself for the upcoming conversation. When the footsteps stopped I opened my eyes to see Niall right in front of me, arms crossed over his chest and an angry look on his face.

"What did you guys go do? Really?" he asked, trying to control the anger in his voice. I know that he is trying to protect her because she is his birth sister, but why was he so angry? "I just took her to McDonalds because she was hungry." It wasn't a lie. He rolled his eyes. "I know what you're trying to do, and I just want you to stay away from her, okay?" I rolled my eyes, this was so stupid. "Why are you treating her like she is a 13 year old girl?" I asked him, annoyed. "What do you mean?" he rolled his eyes, looking like he was about to punch a wall. "She is almost 17 years old, she can hold herself. I understand that you are just protecting her, but you can't keep her from at least being friends with me." I shook my head, looking down to my feet. Niall was quiet for a while and I looked up to see him pacing in front of me, again. He stopped after a minute or two. "I'm sorry." he shook his head. "I'm just don't want her to get hurt. I didn't mean to be so protective." he sighed, looking up at me. "It's alright man, I understand." I nodded. He took a deep breath before speaking again, "This doesn't mean you can date her though." Niall was serious, I knew that, but he said it in a joking way. "I know, I won't"

Now that was a lie.
