Belle's p.o.v

I arrive at home and see a car in the driveway that I've never seen before. The car has personalised number plates but I still can't make out who it is. Maybe it's one of my sisters friends, I'll find out soon anyway.

I walk up to the front door and open it walking straight to the kitchen where I hear voices.

I walk in and see my sister, Dad looking sobar for the first time and a youngish lady, definitely about 10 years younger than dad. I see my sister sitting there as well.

They a look at me when I enter and I'm not exactly sure what's going to happen next. "Belle, I'm glad you're home, I need to talk to you" Dad says, I'm starting to think this lady is a therapist that's going to help dad. I take a seat next to my sister and dad begins to speak, "I have some big news, for a while now I've been trying to give up drinking, it's been hard but then I met someone" he gestures to the young lady "Bec, she has helped Me give up drinking and it's been successful but also, we've fallen in love" WHAT!!!!!, this can't be happening. "This has been happening for while so Bec will be moving in with us"

"Have you forgotten mum? Why are you doing this? I don't want her to move in" my sister speaks up

"I feel the same" I back her up and help her.

"It's been a few years kids and I'm not stable being by myself and Bec is stabilising me" ugh. My sister and I don't reply and instead I stand up and walk to my room. I hear her footsteps behind me and Bec and Dad whispering. I open my door and close it falling onto my bed. I check the time and it's 3:30pm and I'm quite tired. Maybe I should do something with Luke but then I remember, why would he want to spend most of his time with a girl like me? As I have a thousand things racing through my mind I slowly drift to sleep and it feels like I'm floating on a cloud.

-------------------------------------

I wake up at 6:00 pm to the sound of my phone ringing. I check who it is and my heart immediately begins to beat faster when I see Luke's name. I pick up and hear his voice say hello. He sounds a bit drunk because he keeps saying I'm beautiful and I know it's not true. Luke doesn't stop pestering about me to come over so I give in and tell him I'll be over shortly and I hang up and put on some normal clothes. I run downstairs and can't help but see Bec on the couch watching TV and my sister sitting next to her. It almost seems as if they are bonding. I don't worry about it too much and just walk out the door and drive to Luke's place.

When I arrive there's no other cars in his driveway and I'm thankful, I kinda just want it to be us two. I get out of my car and walk up to Luke's door slightly knocking on it. no one answers until i knock harder then Luke appears. He's smiling while holding a beer in his hands as he gestures for me to come in. "Are your parents home?"

"They aren't my parents!" Luke snaps

"sorry, I didn't know"

"I'm sorry, come here" Luke stretches out his arms and brings me into them wrapping his long arms around me and squeezing. "I love you" he whispers, making me smile like a dork that I am. "Be my girlfriend" wait, what?

"Luke, you are drunk, you don't mean any of this" I say as I pull away.

'I am not, i've had like, 2 beers and that's it"

"still, you didn't mean what you said" I sigh.

"Yes I did. Please be my girlfriend Belle, I really like you but I don't know if you feel the same way" I blush straight away when i hear those words i've been wanting to hear for a while.

"Luke, I really like you as well and I do want to be your girlfriend" I see his face light up with the biggest smile and I can't help but laugh at how adorable he is. He hugs me again and this time, neither of us pull away for a very long time. For once in my life I think things are turning out pretty good and I feel happy for once and that's all happened since Luke came. Maybe....just maybe, he's my hero.
