"Would you like to stay in the guest room or Luke's room?" Liz asks politely, washing some dishes. I immediately feel bad and help her dry them. "Oh, darling there is no need."

"No, no." I begin. "I insist. And I'd hate to be a bother to Luke, but I would feel a bit safer with him. Since I'm not on good terms with Ben and Jack."

Liz sadly smiles at me, but quickly calls to Luke, who immediately shows himself in the doorway of the kitchen. "Yes, mum?"

"Can Ana sleep in your room tonight? She doesn't feel awfully safe in the guest room."

Luke smiles an ear to ear, cheesy grin and I can't help but mimic the boy's face. "Of course she can sleep with me!" my eyes widen at his choice of words and I blush. Luke bites his lip and frantically apologises, "I mean, uh, sleep in my room while I'm in there.."

"It's alright Luke." I giggle. "I think we knew what you meant. And, thank you. For being so kind. There are so many people who just aren't nice at all."

"Like Ben and Jack." Luke scoffs.

I sit on the comfortable bean bag in Luke's room as he sits on his bed, tapping the screen of his phone rapidly. I don't want to invade his privacy so I joke around, "Ohh, I wonder who you're talking to."

He blushes and shakes his head. "I'm only talking to Ashton." oh. I didn't know that the two are friends. "We aren't friends, he was just talking shit about y- my friend."

An awkward silence is shared between us and I suddenly remember something. "Luke! I just remembered, I brought this paper with me. It has a new song on there, it's definitely one of my favourites. But.." I cringe. "I don't have the recording of Roxane singing. So you can't hear how it goes.."

Luke takes the paper from my hand and grins as he reads the lyrics and chords I scrawled down. "This is awesome! Why don't you sing it for me?"

I shake my head violently and frown. "I can't sing. Not one bit." I groan. "Don't ask me to sing. My mother has made it awfully clear that I have no talent."

"Don't be like that." Luke frowns. He takes my hand and looks to my eyes. "I don't care if you can or can't sing. I can hardly sing, yet I'm in a band. I'm fat, yet I still get attention from girls."

"Fat?!" I snap, gob smacked by what he has just said to me. "You are most certainly not fat! And you're an amazing singer! Who told you otherwise?!"

His eyes shift to the floor and he bites his lip. "Why don't I think of a tune, and we'll see if it suits the song?" he changes the subject and I nod as he furrows his eyebrows in concentration.

He begins to sing,

"Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death
That everything you said to me was just
A lie until you left."

Surprisingly, the way he sings it is awfully similar to how I thought of it and I quietly sing along.

"Now I'm hopin' just a little bit stronger
Hold me up just a little bit longer
I'll be fine I swear,
I'm just gone beyond repair.

Let's write a song that we can dance to,
Cause they all wanna listen,
Just to know how it sounds when,

I do the thing you know that I do
When I find inspiration,
This is me breaking down when

Jersey just got colder and
I'll have you know I'm scared to death,
That everything you said to me was just
A lie until you left.

Now I'm hoping just a little bit stronger,
Hold me up just a little bit longer,
I'll be fine I swear,
I'm just gone beyond repair."

I sung quite a lot of the song alone, but I don't notice until I finish the second chorus. Luke had stopped singing when I began to sing the verse.

When I look up at him, his eyes are slightly widened and his mouth is just agape. I immediately feel self-conscious and I look away from him, a red tint upon my cheeks.

"Ana." Luke croaks. He seems speechless. Was I really that bad? "That was-"

"Terrible." I choke. "I know, Luke. You don't need to remind me that I'm awful."

Taken aback from my statement, Luke frowns and sits right beside me. He hugs me and whispers a string of 'no's and he kisses my temple. "Ana," he hushes his tone. "That was amazing."
