Chapter 20

"Yes. I will be your girlfriend" I answered back.

There was really no thinking about it. It was simple. I was in love with Luke. I want to be with him. Very simple.

"Really?" he smiled. "Yes really. It's very simple Luke. I'm in love with you" I finished.

"I'm in love with you too" he smiled.

"So what now?" I asked.

"I don't know. How about I ask if you can go home?" he offered.

"I would actually be fine staying at the hospital if you stay with me" I said.

He smiled back. "Ok then" he stood up, reaching a hand out for me to grab.

I took his offer and he helped he stand up.

"Thanks" I whispered.

Luke leaned down next to me ear. "Anything for my princess" he whispered in my ear.

I blushed uncontrollably. "Thanks my prince" I whispered back.

"I freaking love you Emma Diamond" he smiled.

"I love you too Luke Hemmings"

Luke smiled and kissed me lightly, just pecking my lips.

"That's it?" I asked, raising both eyebrows.

"Nope" he but his lip ring and kissed me again, better this time.

We stood there kissing like a nice couple in front of the table.

I felt rain trickle on my arms. "It's raining" he stated.

"I always wanted to kiss in the rain" I admitted.

"Then in that case-" he connected our lips together.

The rain came down harder this time.

We both smiled in the kiss.

We both pulled away at the same time, allowing me to see his drenched hair. It was down. I never seen it like that.

"I like your hair" I chuckled. "Thanks. Yours is drenched" he laughed.

"We should go back in" he said. I nodded my head and we ran back inside.

When we got in the lobby, we both bursted out into laughter.

Luke reached for my hand, intertwining our fingers together.

"I know I said it a lot already, but I love you" Luke said. "I love you too" I started to tear up but I don't think he noticed because of all the rain that was already on my face.

"Let's go back to your room. I think they will let you wear better clothes than that hospital gown" he said.

"I hope" I mumbled.

We finally reached the room. The bed was made, clothes laid out for my on the bed, and to my surprise Ashton was sitting in a chair in the corner. His hands were holding his face. His couldn't stop pounding his foot against the tile.

"Why are you here Ashton?" I asked, my voice cracking.

"Hey Emma" he shot right up in one move.

"Are you going to answer my question?" I asked.

"Yeah, sorry. I just needed to talk to you" he said nervously.

"Luke" I motioned Luke to give us a moment.

Luke did so, exiting the room.

"What is it" I crossed my arms. "I just want to start off by saying I'm sorry" he pleaded.

"Sorry about what?" I asked, confused.

"I'm sorry about kissing Natalie. It was a mistake" he said, his voice low and weak.

"Tell me right now Ashton. Why did you kiss her?" I asked, not even wanting to look at him.

"I don't know! Guys are dumb! We do dumb things! I'm dumb! I'm sorry! I need you. I want you back. Please forgive me!" he begged.

"Let me get this straight. You kissed her on purpose and you think that I will take you back?" I came closer to him.

"Yeah. Well, I didn't kiss her on pur-" I cut him off.

"Yes you did! You were smiling at her like she was yours!" I screamed.

Just then Luke came in. "Is everything alright?" Luke asked.

"Yeah. Ashton was just about to leave" I sniffled, looking back at Luke.

Ashton left, slamming the door behind him.

"What really happened" he asked.

After I explained everything that had happened, Luke was ready to punch Ashton the next time he comes near me.

"He won't come near you again" he said.

"Oh, he won't"
