Hannah's P.O.V.

I guess I fell asleep in the alley crying but I felt a light touch on my shoulder. it was... Luke? What does he want?

"Hey uh can I talk to you?" He asked while rubbing his head.

I looked at him with confusion but nodded my head. We walked out of the alley with our hoods on.

"Wh-what did you wanna talk about?"

"Um... I really like you but..." He drifted off.

"But what?"

"But you hate me. I don't know how to make it right."

"I'm sorry I snapped at you... That man brought back bad childhood memories. I thought I would never see him again."

"He was he was your dad?"

"Humph yeah WAS! He doesn't get to say that anymore."

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Sure."

I began to tell Luke about my childhood but then as we were walking... He held my hand. I smiled at the ground and gripped tighter. On with my childhood!...

Shayla's P.O.V.

I heard a bang on my cell. As I awoke from my sleep sirens and lights were going off and there stood a terrified Marcuz. I quickly got up as he opened the cell gate.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked running down the hallway.

"We got the IDs now it's a night early for the breakout! Jo Jo accidentally set off the alarm! We gotta hurry!"

I held my fake ID and my name was Hallie Woods. Cute name.

Everyone was digging this hole in the yard. It was where no one really goes but they're gonna go now! How long until the cops get here?

"Oh no look!" A person said.

They're here. We have to get 7 people through a hole in like hmmm 1 minute!

Marcuz grabbed me and yelled over all the noise, "go" I'll find a way out!"

I nodded and slid through! They've been working hours on this dang!

I looked back and didn't see Marcuz. The police had all of my friends in handcuffs. On the road again.

I just ran into the city not looking where I was going. There was a clothing store that was still open so I took off my jail clothes, threw them away and walked in there. Thankfully I still had my old clothes on. I need new ones though.

When I entered, the lady scanned me over with her eyes. I nodded and started looking at hoodies.

I still had some money left over so I bought a gray hoodie, skinny jeans and commando boots.

"I'm sorry ma'am but this isn't enough." The cashier said.

I scrimmaged in my pockets. Oh no. Not again. I sighed and just grabbed the bag and ran out of the store.

Turning a few corners going into some alleys and hiding behind dumpsters, police or anybody was nowhere to be found.

I changed into my new clothes and put my old ones in a bag.

"Airport!" I said to myself. I still had that ticket when I thought I was gonna go. I can just switch it for the next flight!

I ran and never stopped. I was free... kinda. I was going to make things right with Ashton and Hannah. I can do this!

Hannah's P.O.V.

"So that's why I hate my dad." I finished.

"Wow. Quite a story."

"Yeah."

Luke looked into my eyes... like that... again. I was so nervous! Was he gonna try and kiss me again? I've.. I- I've never... kissed anyone before.

I broke the stare and started walking. I could tell that Luke was annoyed.

"Hannah!" He jogged up to me.

"I need to know if you feel the same way! I NEED to!" He pleaded.

"See that's the problem..."

"Wh-wh-what is?"

"I feel to strongly about it. I know it won't and can't happen so I just spare myself."

"How do you know it can't happen? Anythings possible!"

"Well cuz you're... you..."

"And you're you. And you're amazing. You're all I need Han."

"But what about all those perfect celebrities or movie stars or people without problems? What abou-"

Luke shut me up and pressed his lips onto mine. I felt a spark all the way down my spine. My hands slung around his neck as my eyes closed. He put his hands on my hips and scooted me closer to him.

My first kiss. My first kiss was Luke Hemmings! This is the happiest moment in my life!

He broke the kiss and smirked. Our foreheads touched as we both smiled in the dark alley.

"Sorry for interrupting you. I just really wanted to do that." He explained.

"It's... it's alright!" I giggled.

We kissed again up against a building wall in the alley. It was like magic!

"I love you Hannah. I'll always be here for you gorgeous."

I just smiled. I don't take "i love yous" lightly.

We walked back to the hotel holding hands and leaning on each other. I looked up at my prince as he looked down and kissed my head.
