Meant to Be... l.h.

33

  He hasn't come around. I leave tomorrow and I haven't talked to Luke since I told him. We even had a little going away party last night and he was the only one who hasn't showed up. I finished my packing though so that's good. I'm definitely nervous to go to England, but also excited. I think that at this point I'm just anxious to go. Since today is my last day, I wanted to spend it with my friends so that is what we are doing. Everyone is chilling in my empty apartment and we are just telling stories and reminiscing on the time I spent here. Well everyone except Luke was here. I tried to talk to him but he never answered my calls or texts. I even went to his apartment a few times and he didn't answer. I feel horrible for hurting him but he needs to understand that I'm not happy here and I'm definitely not choosing Harry over Luke. All this drama just makes me want to leave sooner.

"What are you thinking about Sky?" I snap out of my thoughts and look at Calum. I shrug.

"I'm just nervous." Technically I'm not lying. He nods and we begin talking about the tv show we are watching. After we finished the season we all decided it was getting late and we should go to bed. Since my apartment was empty, they had to go back to their own apartments. I decided to stay here  bring the last few boxes down to the moving van. I take on box at a time downstairs. It takes me about half an hour until I'm finally on the last box. I grab it from the kitchen counter and open my door. I turn around to close the door and jump when I hear a familiar voice.

"You're really leaving." I turn around to see Luke leaning against his door. I nod slightly. He nods back and walks into his apartment. I sigh and walk down stairs and drop off the last box before going up to my apartment where I secretly wished Luke would be waiting for me. When I reached my door I realized Luke really didn't care. I quickly walk into my apartment and let the tears flow down my cheeks as soon as the door closes. I end up crying myself to sleep thinking about how I lost the first person I've ever loved.

The next morning.

I groan as I wake up. Today is the day. I drag myself of the couch and stand in my kitchen. I take one last look at the apartment before walking out and closing the door. I lock it and walk to the lobby. Once I arrive, I hand in my key and walk outside where all of my friends are waiting for me. I smile at them as I walk outside. I look at everyone and notice that Luke isn't there. He really didn't even come to say goodbye? Wow. I give everyone a hug and step back to look at them all.

"Wow. I know I wasn't even here that long but it's still so hard to say goodbye. Um I wanted to thank you guys for making me feel so welcomed here and I'm really going to miss each of you." I say with tears forming in my eyes.

"Group hug!" Liam yells and we all form into a group hug. When we pull apart we all have to wipe the tears from our eyes. I give each person a hug one more time until I realize someone standing behind me. I turn around and see Luke standing quietly with his hands in his pockets. I look at him with my tear filled eyes silently begging him to forgive me. He nods and opens his arms. I immediately accept and step into his embrace. He places a kiss on the top of my head. We pull apart and just look at each other. He hands me a box and before I could open it he stops me. I look into his eyes and see they are glossy. I nod and step away from him. I look at Harry.

"You ready?" He asks with a smile. I smile back and nod and we step into the car. I look at my friends one more time before waving goodbye as the car drives away. I decide to open the small box from Luke now. I pull the bow and take off the lid to reveal a dainty necklace with a small rose on it. I smile at the nickname Luke claimed for me and pick up the small card at the bottom of the box. It read,

"Dear Rose, I'm sorry for reacting the way I did. I want you to be happy. See you in a year! Love, Luke". Now I know that everything will be okay.
