"Alright Guys, I think it's time to head home." I announce making everyone groan. We have been at the pier all day.
"I don't think so." Ashton says with a smirk.
"What do you mean? We literally went on every ride here."
"Not every ride." He says looking at the tall roller coaster I chickened out on last time making my eye go wide.
"No ashton."
"You're going on it." He says.
"I can't. The kids are too small."
"I believe I said YOU'RE going on it not everyone." He says matter of factly.
"You expect ME. To go on THAT. Alone." I say trying to get through his thick skull.
"Not alone. You're not the only scaredy cat her." As he says that my head turns to Luke who is trying to hide behind Michael. I was about to object but couldn't before I was lifted over someone's shoulder. I let out a squeal and grab onto Mikey.
"Sorry Sky But you're on you're own for this one." He says prying my hands off him.i see Luke try to sneak away but I grab his arm before he can get away.
"Oh no you don't. You're coming too." I say holding on to his arm tight as I'm dragged away. Luke tries to fight back but gives up as we enter the gate. Ashton places me in the seat and runs away so I'm stuck on the ride. I look at Luke who is in the same position as me and the bar comes over our shoulders. After a few seconds, the ride begins and we begin going straight up. Once we got about halfway up, I finally opened my eyes and squealed. I think Luke did the same because I heard him yell as well.
"Oh hell no!" He reaches over and grabs my hand. He squeezes it hard as we reach the top of the ride. Once the cart begins tipping forward we both scream at the top of our lungs. It all happened so fast that we were down the huge rail in a matter of seconds. However, we didn't stop screaming until the ride ended. We both caught our breathe with our eyes squeezed shut.
"Are you alive?" Luke asks in between breathes.
"Yep." I say. We both open our eyes as the shoulder bars come up. We stand up and hug each other.
"That wasn't as scary as I thought it would be." He admits pulling apart. I laugh.
"No it was scarier." We both laugh and walk out of the gate and to our friends who were laughing like crazy. They continued to make fun of us the entire way to the car. I ignored them and opened the door to the back seat. It was then that I realized, Luke and I were still holding hands. Well this is awkward. He notices too and we both send each other an embarrassed smile before letting go and getting the kids in the car. Once they were buckled in, I got in the back along with some of the gang and Luke got in the drivers seat. We waved goodbye to everyone in the other car and drove away.
"Do you all want to stay at my house tonight? I don't feel like driving all of the place to drop all of you guys off?" Luke asks. We all nod our heads. The people in this car are Luke, Ashton, Cal, Cole, Harry, me and the kids. I let out a yawn and rest my head on the car window, letting my eye lids shut.
Luke's PoV
Not gonna lie, I missed holding Rose's hand. I glance in the rear view mirror and see that Wes, Mel and Rose are all asleep. I smile at the sight and go back to looking at the road.
"Why are you smiling like that Luke?" Ashton asks from the passenger side, making Calum, Cole and Harry all look at me. I shake my head with a smile still on my face. Ashton looks in the back seat then looks back at me with the same smile.
"You missed this didn't you?" He asks.
"Of course I did! Didn't we all?"
"That's not what I meant. I meant Skylar and you. You missed you guys together."
"Ash, Don't. We are not getting back together." I say trying to keep my anger under control.
"Why not? You obviously still love her and she still loves you!"
"Whatever Ash." Ashton gives up and stares out his window. We sit in silence for about two minutes.
"He's right Luke." I look in the rear view mirror to see Cole looking at me.
"She does love you and even I know you love her." He says making me smile again. I continue the drive to my house and pull in the drive way. I park the car and we all get out. Cole and Harry grab the sleeping toddlers and I look at the back to see the still sleeping Skylar. I look at Ashton. He smiles at me.
"Shes all yours bro," He says walking into my house. I smile and pick up the still small Rose in my arms. I carry her bridal style into my house. I place her gently on the queen sized bed in one of may guest bedrooms before gently kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight Rose." I say before walking out the room. Before I close the door I take on last look at her.
"I love you." I whisper and shut the door. I head to the other guest bedroom where the kids are sharing a bed. I make sure they are okay and go back to my room and try to sleep. However it doesn't work so I go in the living room and sit on the couch watching How I Met Your Mother. I spent all night watching the show and thinking about Rose before I was interrupted. I hear little footsteps and turn my head to see little Melody walking out of the guest bedroom with tears in her eyes. I jump off the couch immediately and rush over to her.
"What's wrong Mel?" I ask bending down to her height. She sniffles and wipes her eyes.
"I had a bad dream." She admits.
"Aww. It's okay." I say pulling her into a hug.
"Can I sleep with you. I'm scared." She whispers into my neck.
"Of course sweetie." I say picking her up. I carry her into my bedroom and lay down with her in my bed. She cuddles into my arms and I hold her tight.
"I don't want the monsters to get me." She cries quietly. I rub her back, trying to comfort her.
"Don't worry. I won't let them get you." I say trying to sound tuff. She laughs a little and yawns.
"You're silly. Goodnight Daddy." She says while closing her eyes. My mouth drops open. What the fuck! It literally just hit me that I'm a dad. And trust me when I say I won't let anything hurt my daughter. I tighten my arms around the little girl before finally falling into a peaceful sleep.
