English Love Affair~ 5 Seconds of summer

Chapter Nine

Amber's pov:

I must have been smiling like an idiot. We just sat and stared at each other grinning. He took my hand into one of his and laced our fingers together. His face changed, looking sorta sad.

"What's wrong?" I said, reaching out to touch his face. He leaned into it and smiled.

"Tomorrow is our last day here, and I haven't been on a real date with you yet." He said, a lopsided grin on his face. "And I wanna change that. Will you go out with me tomorrow for dinner?"

"Of course! " I say, a blush creeping onto my face. I duck my head and smile up at him. He tilts my chin up and gives me a feather light kiss that drives me mad. I crash my lips onto his, and he moves his hands to around my jaw, cupping my face. I wrap my arms around him, pulling myself closer to him, so my chest touches his. My lips part, and the kiss deepens. I lean back, and he ends up on top of me. When the kiss breaks, we are both out of breath. He smiles and sits back up.

"Come on, let's walk you home," he says to me, standing up and extending his hand.

"Youre no fun." I say with a fake pout. It slipped right out of my mouth, it felt so natural. I blushed out of embarrassment. There's no way I would have ever said that before I met Luke. I couldn't meet his gaze.

"We will have plenty of time for that tomorrow." He says, I look up and he winks. I take his hand and he walks me home.

As I walk in through the front door, I almost run straight into my mother.

"I've been waiting for you. It's five FUCKING thirty!!!! Where the hell did you go???" She yells. I smell hard liquor on her breath.

"I had a assignment that required new to stay after school for another. It was all educational mom." I lie.

"You're usually so reasonable. Where the FUCK is your phone??? How dare you take it??? Give me that Shit right FUCKING now and go to your room!!!!!" She screams. I cringe. I pull out my phone and hand it to her. I stomp to my room. At least this time she didn't blow up on me like last week. The bruise had only just gone away.

Tomorrow morning when my alarm went off, I shot outta bed. Today was date night..I grab my phone from my mom's room again. I put on the first thing in my closet for school, a pair of yoga pants and a white cropped tank top and converse. I leave my hair loose.

Time creeps on through the horribly long school day.

I ran home right at the last bell. My mom was already gone. Probably drinking. I change into a blue skater dress, one of my favorites. I put on mascara, eyeliner and pink lipgloss. I put on a flower crown.of white flowers , knowing how Luke loves them. I put on combat boots and a black sweater. I put my phone in the pocket and I'M out the door.

When I get downstairs, I'M surprised to find Luke waiting for me. He has a single red rose for me, and is wearing a white button down and black skinny Jean with converse.

He hands me the rose. "It was the best one I could find, but it still isn't even close to as beautiful as you look right now." He says with a smile. He wraps his arms around me, dipping his head so his lips touch mine. It was light and so romantic. He pulled back, and I giggled. He smiled.

"What?" He says, confused.

"You have my lip gloss on your lips. " I say, reaching up to wipe it off. When I remove my thumb, he bites his lip piercing,taking it in between his teeth. I smiled.

"Come on, let's go."he takes my hand and we walk to his car. He drives to a pretty fancy place to eat.

After about a half hour, he goes quiet. I couldn't figure out why, and it made me nervous. I picked at my food.

"Amber?" He said, his voice shy. I raise my eyes from my food.

"Yes Luke? " I say.

"I wanted to take you here to asked you something. I care for you a lot, and I don't want us to grow apart while I'M on my tour. So... I was wondering if you would be interested in going on tour with me?" He says, looking gazing up at me through his eyelashes.

"Yes! Oh my goodness, I'd love to! Let me just go ask my mother and pack!"

"Come, I'll drop you off." He says, leading me away.

When I got upstairs, The smell of booze hit me in the face. For once, I was glad. She might even have a chance of telling me Yes.

"Mom? I have a question." I say.

She's absolutely drunk, incoherent and almost passed out on the couch.

"What the hell do you want? Where have you been?" She slurs.

"Mom, I have a chance to go on tour. It's only for another couple of months. Can I go?"I ask. She gets up.

"It's funny you think your ever leaving. Your grounded, again. I....uh...mmm." she's lost her train of thought.

"Mom, if I can just-" my voice is cut off by her hand hitting my cheek.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP I WAS THINKING!!!" she says. I clutch my cheek and run to my room.

I'M not staying here. I won't deal with my mother's idiotic ways. I grab a big Duffel bag and start throwing clothes into my bag. I pack up all my clothes, my phone and charger and my shoes. I run to the fire escape. I text Luke:
Hey babe, she said yes!! Be right there<3

I look in at my room. I know this is the last time I'll ever be there.
