The song for this chapter, I'll let you know when to play it

"We did it. We actually did it." Ashton smiled as he hugged Luke while picking him up off the ground spinning him around in circles. "I'm super proud of you. Who knew you'd actually graduate." Luke joked while earning a playful shove from Ashton.

The ceremony just ended and tthey were going to find Andrew and David knowing he'd want to take pictures. Calum must've went with Michael and his family, so they weren't really too worried when they didn't see them afterwards.

Once Andrew saw Luke, he gave him the biggest hug. "Congratulations Luke." David spoke with a smile. "Don't think I'm not gonna give you a hug Ashton." Andrew laughed. "Congrats."

"Okay picture time!"

A million pictures taken, or so Luke thought. That's what it felt like. Their faces were cramping up from all the pictures that were being taken. "Okay okay sorry, I know you probably want to spend your time alone, just use protection please. We will be home Luke just in case you both want to come back." Then they left. "Okay, lets go change and I have a special gift waiting for you." Ashton smiled which made Luke blush.

At Ashton's house, his mum was barely waking up which only means that Victor was at his house minutes before they arrived. "What happened?" Luke asked. "They escaped. Victor took them." Ashton's dad responded.

"Okay, Michael's dad is already tracking them, no need to worry. Let's just focus on us." Ashton assured to keep him calm. "I-I don't know if we should go out Ash. I'm scared." He spoke softly. "I know Luke, I know, but this will be good for us." Ashton assured to Luke who reluctantly gave in.

Luke changed into some clothes that he had left previously there, but his mind kept racing back to Victor. "I know you're scared. You have that look on your face. Everything will be okay." Ashton reassured while giving Luke a casual kiss. "Alright, you ready?" Ashton asked to which he only received a nod in return. They still decided to go out since it would be good for Luke to get his mind off of everything for a while.

It took Luke a while to figure out where they were going, but after seeing they're leaving town, he knew exactly where. His faces beamed lightly as they came closer to the cliff they were once at over looking the small town a couple nights ago.

"I really love this spot Ash." Luke smiled while hopping into the trunk of the car. They kept a casual conversation talking about anything and everything, but Luke couldn't help but notice Ashton fidgeting with his fingers. "Are you okay Ash? What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing why?"

"You're nervous. You're playing with your fingers, you do that when you're nervous." Ashton smiled lightly when knowing Luke remembers everything.

"Okay look." He started taking Luke's hands in his own.

"I love you so much and don't think you're a bad boyfriend because you're not. I swear on my life you're not. After everything we've been through, you stayed, you never ran away when things got scary or hard. Even when I was a total asshole to you before we got together, you always forgave me, I don't know why, but I'm glad you did. And I know I hurt you Luke, I'm sorry for that and I will spend everyday making it up to you. Then when I kept on waking up to you every morning and going to sleep with you every night, it just made me realize that I want it to be like that forever. Be with you forever. When I saw you at prom, I realized how fucking lucky I was to even have you at all in my life because you kept me balanced, kept me sane through it all. And no matter what, you stayed with me which is all I could ever ask for from you. Then when I almost lost you, I never ever had that feeling before but that's because I never had anything to lose. That all changed when I met you Luke." Then he pulled out a ring. When hearing Luke gasped he continued his speech.
