Our Letters/// Luke Hemmings

Chapter 22~

Aprils Pov:

Luke's friends were probably the funniest, coolest people I have ever met. The hospital is letting me go in and out of my room and wear something that's not hospital gowns.

We danced around my room while they sang one of their songs called "don't stop." I loved it.

Then I ran out of breath and sant down before I passed out.

"Okay who is your favorite super hero?" Ashton asked me.

"Batman is the shit but so is Spider-Man.."

Ashton high fived me and I laughed.

We all talked for a long time and then it got late.

Luke kissed me and told me he would see me tomorrow then the rest of the guys said bye and they left. Then minute they left I missed them.

Ann walked in to give me my pills, giving me a nervous smile.
"Hey Ann," I said before swallowing my pills. She sat in the chair by my bed and clasped her hands together.

Oh no.

"April.."

"I have been feeling better, what's wrong with me now?"

"You have been doing better but soon it's going to get worse. Your lungs are failing and it looks like it's spreading to your heart..you might start losing your hair but it's not a definite." She took my hand, "I'm sorry darling."

I shook my head and forced a small smile as tears fled to my eyes, "what is this life?"

Luke's Pov:

I ran and jumped around my house excited because Aprils parents and I signed 10 million papers and now I get to take her out tonight. I basically had a lesson on what to do if April can't breathe or if something goes wrong. Her parents took her out yesterday and they are letting me take her out tonight.

I jumped into my car and quickly texted to April:
IM COMINGGGGGG RIGHT NOWWWWWW

Then at every stop sign or red light I would text her again:

Wear something fancy but not too fancy

YOU BETTER BE UP APRIL! DONT SLEEP ALL DAY AGAIN

ITS 5:30 YOU BETTER BE AWAKE

Sorry I'm just really excited.

Okay I'm calling you!!

Nevermind I'm here and I just pulled in and I have chai for you in the carrrr ahahaha I'm coming in.

By the way I was acting people probably thought I was high. I checked in with Ann then jogged to Aprils room. I knocked but didn't hear an answer, "April?" I called in.

I walked and found her sleeping. She was wearing a navy blue dress an inch above her knees with spaghetti straps since it's 100000° and white sandals that she calls her Jesus sandals. She fell asleep with her phone in her hand. I clicked the home button and it lit up with all of my messages. I smiled and shook her lightly but she didn't move.

I climbed onto her bed and sat on her she stirred and looked up and found me sitting her. She stared blankly at me for a second then bursted out laughing which caused me to laugh too.

"Why are you sitting on me?!"

"You wouldn't get up!!"

"And why were you texting me while you were driving?!"

"I texted you at red lights and stop signs I promise!"

"Why are we yelling?!"

"I don't know!"

I got off of her and pulled her off of her hospital bed, "dammit Luke," she said looking at the rest of her message from me. "I was reading them then I fell asleep."

I laughed and said, "well I have chai in the car so leggo."

I checked out with Ann and she quizzed me on what happens if something happens to April.

Aprils Pov:

"Luke this restaurant is beautiful."

It was a New York style restaurant with lights strung from one side of the outside porch to the other. It wasn't too crowded and it was just perfect. Luke was wearing a button down blue shirt with a red tie and khakis with black vans. I can tell he didn't like it since he is used to old t-shirts and ripped jeans. I smiled at him and looked at the lights again.

He put his hand on my back and guided me inside, as we walked he leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You look beautiful."

I whispered back, "You look very handsome. I can tell you hate wearing that so thank you."

He laughed a little and said, "Well shit, is it really obvious?"

I shook my head smiling, "Nah you're good."

The waitress lead us to our table, obviously taking an interest in Luke. I glared at her and she quickly walked away.

He smirked and took my hand, "You're feeling okay, right?"

I nodded, "So how are the guys? Do you have band practice tonight?"

He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, "yeah I do."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "what's wrong?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm okay. I just," he started smiling, "I didn't know when to tell you but we got a gig"

My face lit up, "Oh my god I'm so proud of you guys! When is it? Where is it? How many songs are you playing? Which one is your favorite?"

He laughed and said, "actually..." He paused and took both of my hands, "it's in New York, and I'm going to be there for a couple of days. We put videos up on YouTube and we sent in an audition tape to a restaurant and now they want us to perform there."

I just kept on smiling because I knew I couldn't go to New York. They aren't allowing me to fly anywhere. "I'm proud of you Luke."

"April, I'm sorry, it will only be a couple days I promise and I-"

"Luke...it's okay. You're going to do great. You guys are going to be amazing."

He smiled and leaned over and kissed my forehead.

I cleared my throat and asked, "so did you guys decide on a band name?"

He broke into a grin and replied, "5 seconds of summer."
