Everything I Hate About You •Luke Hemmings/Shay Mitchell•

"So, what was today all about?" I asked Luke after a moment of silence, "Well, as you may have already figured out, I wrote this song for you and I wanted you to see it before anyone else. And the reason why I didn't reach out to you earlier was because after you posted that video, it made me realise that what you did was wrong but I soon came to terms with an understanding and Ashton helped me figure out your perspective of things. I realised that I was also wrong to not have chased after you that day to explain everything but I guess I was just really shocked with all the information that was given to me in that one second." Luke took a small breather before continuing his story, "That girl in the photo was my cousin, and yes I didn't introduce her to you before, but that was only because I lost touch with her for a couple of months until I was actually back at Sydney when we were able to hang out. I never meant to be caught by the paparazzi and the rumours weren't ever supposed to get this out of hand, so I will apologise for that. What I'm trying to say is that I missed spending time with you, I miss holding you and I miss your soft lips when we kiss. I'm just trying to say that I really want to be with you again Shay. Will you be my girlfriend again?"

Present Time
It took a while to process everything Luke said at that one moment and I was suddenly unable to answer his question. His words were very touching and sweet. I found myself at a loss of words and I couldn't understand why. Luke got up out of his seat and looked down at me with disappointment in his eyes, "I guess I was wrong." Just as he said that and started to walk away I looked up and ran towards him and held onto his arms, "Luke, I don't deserve you. As much as I want and miss you, I have realised that you're too good for me and you deserve so much better than what I can give you. I really do care about you, you have to understand that and that is the reason that I feel that you should let me go for your own sake." Luke turned around and stoked my hair lovingly. 

"You're wrong you know. You're too good, you're independent, strong and extremely caring and if anything, I don't deserve you. Shay, nobody has ever made me feel the way you do and you might not know it but I need you. I've been so lost in this world without you and I need you to help me out." Luke started to cry and his voice broke as he said those lines. "Please, give us another chance Shay, I know you want to." 

With that, I hugged Luke so tightly and found myself not letting go. His touch made me weak and I realised how much I need him. It made me feel warm and tender, I longed for more. After what felt like forever I let go and tears of happiness brimmed from my eyes. "I would love to be your girlfriend again, Luke Hemmings." 

I didn't have to say another word before Luke started to kiss me after the longest time. Butterflies formed around my body and I felt electricity sparks flying out. I really needed him and I finally had this, after months of waiting, this man was just a piece of heaven. He was amazing. 

"Shall we go have some lunch?" Luke asked me after we both pulled away, "We shall" I said with the same smile I had when we first starting dating. Luke smiled at me and then called Ashton to see where they were so we could all have lunch together. "Okay, we'll be there soon......thanks" Luke cut the call and held my hand so we could both head out together. 

After a few minutes of walking we found all of Luke's friends in a small Turkish restaurant. We walked in and saw Michael smirking, "So, you two are finally back together, I see" Luke shoved Michael and started to laugh, "Yes, we are, since you are so interested." Luke replied as he let me sit down next to him. I ordered a vegan roll and Luke ordered a kebab roll and I looked at him, wide eyed. "What? I love my meat, okay?" Luke said annoyingly, making me laugh.

We talked for a while when we waited for our food to be given. It was nice to catch up with all of Luke's friends and I loved telling them about everything I've been up to. I loved how everyone welcomed me back as if we didn't even break up and I really liked them for that. We shared some laughs, ate good food and then we all decided to watch the new movie 'Five Feet Apart' (p.s. you should all watch it, I loved the move so much) together in the cinemas. We bought popcorn and drinks along with us into the movies and had a great time.

After the movie

I had a hold of like fifty tissues throughout watching the movie because it was so emotional and heartbreaking. By the end of the movie my head was on Luke's shoulder and our hands were intertwined. It was a nice time although I sobbed uncontrollably throughout the last half an hour. 

"Are you okay?" Luke asked as we left the movie theatre and I just nodded with my head covered with his hoodie. He held me tightly and let out a small chuckle. We had dinner at a nearby restaurant and just like lunch, we had small talks and laughter. I probably had the best day in like ages and I never wanted my time with Luke to come to an end. He brought in so much light into my life and I will be forever grateful for that.

Hey loves, thanks for reading another chapter. I hope you all liked this one, I know it wasn't too long, sorry and also hope that you've noticed how active I'm trying to become. It's almost autumn break here in Australia so I'll be active as much as I can. I'm trying to manage my studies because it's my last year in high school, so it can be hard sometimes. Thank you for being patient with me. Stay happy and keep reading loves.
