*Lukes POV*

"Hey mate, I'm heading over to Lindsay's to drop off some soup." I tell Ashton since he's the only one in the house for the day. Lindsay said she wasn't feeling well when I called her earlier so I figured I'd be the perfect boyfriend, and admittedly a little bit cliché, by surprising her with some soup that I made thanks to my mum's recipe. Hopefully I made it right.

"Oh okay." He nods.

"Are you gonna be okay by yourself? You can come with if you want." I offer with a shrug. He's been doing so well lately, I hope he does accept and maybe we can go do something today so he doesn't have to be locked in the house with nowhere to go.

"Nah, I'll be fine bro. Go ahead. Tell her I said hi and give her a hug for me." He smiles half-heartedly. I nod and pat his shoulder. Grabbing the keys and my container of soup, I head out to give my girlfriend some soup and a lot of lovin'. I know she said I shouldn't come over because she doesn't want to get me sick but it's all worth it if I can spend some time with my baby and give her a lot of love to make her feel better. Damn I'm such a good boyfriend!

Knocking on her door, I wait anxiously for her to answer it. Expecting to see her in her pajamas and with messy hair and a red nose that would resemble Rudolph's, I instead find her all dressed up like she's been out and about, her hair and makeup done already. She looks completely fine and I'm suddenly very worried.

"Linds?" I furrow my eyebrows at her, wanting to drop the soup out of shock. The shock is clear on her face as well, like she wasn't expecting me to actually come over. I guess that's what 'surprise' means but this is one surprise I didn't want. Oh god, is she cheating on me?!

"Luke! Oh my god, what are you doing here?" She laughs nervously.

"Well you told me you were sick so I made soup...my mum's recipe." I mumble, pushing the soup towards her.

"Linds, who's at the door?" An oddly familiar voice says and I can't even believe my eyes when the voice's owner comes into view.

"Holy shit!" I yell. It's actually her...Ashton's not crazy. Sabrina's actually back in Sydney.

"Fuck..." I barely hear her mumble before I practically pounce onto her with a giant hug. I know I'm probably over bearing but she is actually back. I'm relieved when she hugs me back, even if it's a loose return of my hug.

"You're back, oh my god." I laugh hysterically.

"Okay Luke, I can't breathe." She chokes out and I let up on my grip, moving away from her as she smiles weakly at me.

"Can either of you explain to me what the hell is going on?" I ask the two girls, both of them looking at each other warily before nodding simultaneously. Lindsay closes the door behind her as Sabrina and I walk into the living room while Lindsay puts my soup on the table.

"Right, can you first explain to me why you lied to me?" I ask my girlfriend, who looks like a guilty puppy.

"I'm sorry I lied Luke. I didn't want you coming over because you'd find out one way or another that she was here." Lindsay explains, and it makes sense. At least she's not cheating.

"And that's why I never come around anymore?" I ask, getting a nod. "So how long have you been back exactly?" I direct the question to Sabrina.

"About a month."

"A month?! And you didn't care to tell any of us? Oh my god Ashton's gonna shit himself when he finds out about this."

"NO! Ashton cannot find out that I'm here, at least not yet."
