Cara's POV

_______________

I wave slightly with my hand, and looking at Luke disappearing into the streets. My mother seemed to like Luke, he acted shy around her than the others. I can't help but think of his face while leaving the house, it seemed disappointed. He had asked me to go with him to Michael's party on the weekend, I quickly disclaimed. I'm saying no, for Luke and me. People would have thought he was a loser hanging with another loser, he would lose his big ego. And as for me I would have just gotten laughed at and Michael would beat me out of the house.

I close the door quietly as possible, since most of my family was already sleeping, except for Zack and I. I lean next to the door with my hands cupped together. Zack fumbles over the stairs with his suitcase and he finally brings it back down. He sets it next to the door and looks at me.

'' So... You and Chrix huh?'' I say with a wide smirk planted on my face. He rolls his eyes away and reaches out for Ginger, which I guess apparently now is awake. Fondling with her doll, she asks.

'' Zack do you haf- to L-weave now?'' She stumbles her words. He puts her down gently on the floor and smiles at her with the biggest grin, showing his giant dimples that I've always loved.

'' Yes Ginger, But I'll miss you So much.'' She nods and smiles back with a brief giggle. She runs upstairs returning back to her room. I look at Zack and he smiles.

'' What.'' I say crossing my arms to my chest. He runs his hand through his dark brown hair and sighs. Zack and I almost were alike in terms. He had dark brown hair just like me, and his eyes were a dull brown. Some people would have mistaken us as twins. Unlike Ginger, She had dirty blonde hair and a somewhat tan face. She looked like my mom, as Me and Zack looked like my dad. But Ginger wasn't there to see him.

'' I'll miss you. I don't know when I'll see you again.'' He mumbles, placing his hands in his pockets. I shuffle to him and give him a hell of a hug. He does the same. I like hugging him, he gives me warmth and passion.

'' So will I.''

A loud knock comes from the front door, I knew it couldn't have been my family since they were out to eat with Zack for the last time, I said I had 'Studying' to do, which was just a excuse not to go. I knew straight away that it was Luke.

I flew open the door to see Luke bare feet and his Hood over his head. He looked up and smiled at me. He laid on the couch I was relaxing on, and I noticed on his neck, bruises. A bunch.

'' Woah, where did those come from.'' I act if I was shocked. Which I wasn't Luke would be that kind of guy, to go to parties and just have a load of fun. I wasn't surprised he had marks on his neck.

'' From a girl at the party.'' He replies rubbing the back of his neck his eyes locked on the TV.

'' God Luke, Did you get another girlfriend?'' I ask. He turns my way and stares at me with a smug look.

'' I didn't Cara if thats what you've been implying for the past 5 mintues.'' He turns away while I cough up a laugh.

'' I'm just protecting you Luke.'' He glares back and grabs my hand. It was cold, he probably has been outside waiting for me for a while.

'' I should be the one protecting you, Cara.'' I smile and grip his hand back. He grabs my hips and takes his finger and lifts my chin up to his, pulling me closer to his face. I don't think he notices that he's gorgeous. Every girl likes him in school, I mean I do. His perfectly chiseled face, and his bright blue eyes gives the whole package. He leans in close enough to touch his soft lips. He takes the risk and goes straight to my lips. His lips were soft, almost perfect. I start cupping my hands around his face, he does the same. We pull apart, his mouth left opened, his face turns into a bright shade of pink and he glares into the other direction.

I can't believe I'm doing this. This is Luke Hemmings for God's sake.  He deserves more than me. A girl that has gone through so much, and has a crappy life. Out of all the girls in the world, with amazing lives and way prettier than me. But he decided to pick me.

One girl, that Has a ruined Life, / 7.5 Billion people that have a better life than me.

And he picked me.

'' Cara wake up.'' I groan, and pull the bed sheets over my head. Luke shakes my shoulders roughly.

'' Cara literally wake up.'' I flip to the other side, I have no idea what time I slept last night, but I'm guessing late. I knew I wasn't a morning person, at all. I would go up to my family in the morning and still be sleepy at the table. My sleep schedule was all over the place.

'' Okay your forcing me to do this.'' I feel hands up to my stomach and they tickle me. I force out laughs that probably could wake up everyone. I turn around and I see Luke smiling. He removes his hands away and puts them on his waist.

'' Okay, I'm awake. Now what.'' I turn to see my clock and check the time.

7:12 am.

I jump out of the bed and yell.

'' Luke, You made me wake up at 7 am for nothing?'' I gawk out. He stumbles a little bit with his posture, from the loudness. He meets his gaze to mine, and throws his arms out.

'' No, I made you something! Come on!'' He grabs my wrist and pulls me out to the kitchen. There on the table I see 2 full plates of breakfast, ready to go. I stare at the plate near the seat I usually sit in, the plate had all my favorites, scrambled eggs and soft bacon.

'' You woke up at 7 am, On a weekend to make breakfast for us?'' I cross my arms over my Nirvana shirt, ignoring that it was wrinkled. He stares at me with a confused look, I raise my eyebrow and walk near the table of food.

'' Doesn't sound normal Luke.'' He smiles with a fair grin, and sits down next to me. I devour myself with the delicious food, I can't help but notice that he's staring at me, with my mouth full of food. I never knew Luke has talents, he can draw, cook and sing. I've heard him once in choir sing, he was good. Better than me at least.

My thoughts roam my head, tracing back to his journal and his small doodles.

And that one page. Everything I didn't say to Cara.

'' Hey, Luke.'' I turn to put my plate in the sink.

'' Yeah?'' He glares fast up on his phone. I stare at the sink, my hands placed at the brim of the counter top.

'' What was that thing in your journal about me?''
