10: 38 PM
Skylar woke up and was so sure that they's slept until morning, but when she saw that they've slept for about an hour, she turned to her sleeping boyfriend, who had his mouth slightly open and small snores coming from it. She shook him awake, afraid that he'd be mad.
He almost woke up in the worst mood ever because he knew that them sleeping took up time, but when he remembered the thoughts from earlier, he didn't allow himself to get angry. So instead, he opened his eyes and pulled her body into his, obviously taking her by surprise as she let out a high-pitched gasp.
Luke wrapped his arms around Skylar, soaking in the feeling it gave him to have someone like her in his arms. He never wanted to loose her. He'd miss her too much. He'd miss her kisses, whenever they'd hold hands, their hugs, her goofiness, and just anything about her and their relationship.
That's why he's trying not to get angry at everything. Because when he gets mad, he takes it out on Skylar and he really doesn't like that. So he's letting go of it - his anger.
"Someone woke up in a good mood," Skylar whispered, pulling Luke out of his thoughts. Her face was burried in his chest as her arms were wrapped around his waste.
He smiled as the butterflies - yes butterflies because moths were too manly for this kind of feeling - spread through his stomach like a wild fire. The hope that he used to not have was coming back and it surprised him at how much more in spirit he can feel when not being angry. Especially after deciding on it only an hour ago.
"I guess you can say that," Luke finally responded and quickly kissed Skylar on the forehead. "Do you feel better?"
"Yeah. I guess all I needed was medicine and some sleep," Skylar said, tightening her arms around Luke and pulling him closer, making more butterflies swim their stomachs.
"Are you sure it wasn't my cuddling?"
Skylar let out a quiet giggle and Luke knew she was still tired from the sound of it. It sounded distant and he knew that if they stayed in the bed any longer, they both would fall asleep.
"C'mon," Luke whispered, pulling out of Sky's arms and quickly planting a kiss on her lips. He pulled the blanket from off of them and shivered.
Luke honestly believed that this hotel didn't even know what heat was and if the hotel was like one of those fancy ones that allowed you to change the temperature in your own room, Luke would be happier with his stay. But instead, they keep it about 50 degrees, making Luke want to crawl back into bed and cuddle up with the cutie staying there with him and make him leave behind all his big plans because of how cold it was.
But he fought the urge and he stood up from the soft matress, walking over to his backpack where he pulled out his You Complete Me shirt along with a red flannel. He can just re-wear the jeans he was wearing - he only brought one pair so he didn't really have a choice. He pulled out another flannel and threw it at Skylar who was still laying in the bed starring at him.
"What was that for?" She asked, tearing the shirt away from where it hit her.
"You should wear it. I like you in plaids," Luke said as he made his way towards the bathoom to get ready.

It was about another hour before they left to head to the tattoo parlor and that hour consisted of getting ready and laying back to cuddle for a quick second. Not to mention Luke trying to make out with Sky, but to Luke's disappointment, she didn't let him because she didn't know if what she was sick with was contagious or not.
The night engulfed the two and it blocked Luke from looking Skylar - even though he got a pretty good look before they left the hotel. She wore Luke's blue flannel, the sleeves a little too long and the entire shirt a little too baggy, but Luke liked it. And her hair was up in a bun, something she does very rarley and whenever she wears her hair like that, Luke can't take his eyes off of her with the way her neck and color bones are fully exposed rather than being covered by her hair.
Over all, he was having a hard time keeping his eyes off of her.
"You're beautiful," Luke said, still starring at the girl that he loves with his whole heart.
"Shut up. And quit starring at me, you creep," she responded and after a few more seconds of silence, she whispered, "You look good as well."
Skylar felt Luke's fingers drag down her arm and interwine with her own, making a smile grow on her face. She looked over at Luke and she could swear that the it was a little but less dark outside from how bright his smile was.
"I love you. Like a lot," he whispered and Skylar could swear that everything was perfect. Her life seemed to have been nothing but perfect in that moment.
"I love you too. Like a lot."

They continued walking in silence, soaking in the love that seemed to have never disappeared in the air when they approached the tattoo parlor and Skylar knew that it was going to be bad news when they stepped up to the door but quicly took notice to the thick metal bars covering the windows.
It was shut down.
Skylar held her breath as she took a glance at Luke, scared that he'd look as if he was a bomb instead of a human being. He didn't exactly look like a bomb; instead, he looked like a really, really red Luke Hemmings.
She didn't know what to expect but she didn't expect Luke to kick the door to the shut down building and let out a line of rude words.
Skylar was shocked at his actions and as he stormed around Skylar, trying to get his anger out on something else, she stood there with a deep frown on her face.
He seemed to be perfectly fine at the hotel and on the walk here.
Luke was perfectly fine. He held strong on what he told himself but of course he should have known that he couldn't keep that promise. Luke flenched at that thought for it brought back awful words that he has once spoken to many different people. And as he thought back on those memories, he couldn't help but get more angry, breaking his promise further.
He is Luke Hemmings. He breaks promises.
