Chapter 13

Chelsea Smith

I lay on Luke's bed and he is sleeping on the floor, for some reasons.

"Luke?" I stare at the white ceiling.

"Yeah?"

"What have you been doing this past two years?" I ask.

"Lots of touring, recording songs.. Trying to search for you but... We seem to be famous now."

"I don't get why did you broke off contact with me," Luke mutters.

"I have no idea too. I was so occupied with trainings and concerts, and interviews. You have been on my mind here... And there, and... Everywhere. Media said we had broken up and I wanted to call you but I was going to perform in any minute. Then after that, we got mobbed, phones got hacked in. It's just stupid. And the next day, you were already rumored dating someone else!"

"But it's not like you're that kind of person because you're not. But I don't know... I don't even know why I got with Logan." I muttered.

We then stayed in silence, "did your feelings fade away... For me?" Luke broke the silence.

"It got stronger," he stood up and went over my body to lay next to me.

- I like you a lot, probably a lot enough to call it love.

I bite down my lip and examine his face in the dark.

"Night," I quickly lean forward and kiss him on the lips.

-

"Luke, I think you just burnt the egg." I muttered, walking into the kitchen.

"I did?" His eyes widen. "Yeah... I recognize the smell of burning." I say.

"I suck." Luke mutters.

"You suck at everything," I laugh. "But I - " I stop myself before I say anything wrong.

"What?" Luke looks at me.

"I suck too....?" My heart pounded.

It's too early for all of this.

Luke chuckles lightly, "you have work today?"

"No, I am gonna close it for a week." I reply.

"So what are you doing today?" I ask, leaning against the counter.

"I have to go to the studio," Luke replies.

"Okay then," I smiled at Molly when she walks in.

( Molly is Luke's dog )

"What are you doing?" Luke then ask me, "probably going over to high school, to kick some asses." I simply say.

"You're going back to school?"

"Oh hell no, I dropped out for a reason. But since there is a trail for me, might as well take it."

"Just don't get yourself hurt." Luke says with concern.

"Luke, you're talking to Chelsea Smith. I have massive amount of scars on my leg from sports, of course I will get myself hurt."

"Still, be careful." Luke kisses my forehead.

"You too."

"The studio is much safer than school." Luke stated.

"Yeah, but with 4 idiots in there, a lot of things can happen."

-

"This sucks." Alex groans as we walk down the hallway. "Shut up, we only have to tolerate 7 hours of shit." Lea snaps at her, obviously grumpy.

"Out all days, you picked the day after I drink alcohol." Clary says, having her sunglasses on.

"Out of all days, you picked the day before we go to school." Brandon shot back.

"This is going to be a long day of you guys keep arguing!" Lea shouted.

"Shut up." We all chorused.

We step into the gym, all eyes on us.

"Oh. My. God. It's The Unstoppables." A girl mutters.

"Bad idea, bad idea, BAD IDEA!" Alex shouted as the girls run towards us.

My heart pounded, "guys, relax!" Lea shouted at them.

"Ok, we gotta go." We run out to the football field.

We hide under the benches, "i remember the last time I was here... I was making out with a 15 year old girl." Brandon murmurs.

"Here was where I secretly watch my crush play football." Clary then says.

"Here is where I wanna kill of y'all." Lea retorted to the both of them.

"We should have a security guard, like seriously." Alex stated.

"And we should never, ever come back to school again." Lea adds.

"Oh come on guys, it's only been 15 minutes since we're here." I checked my phone for the time.

"So what do we do now?" Brandon looks at me.

"Go to classes...?"

-

"Oh my god, that was terrible." Lea groans, "CALUM!" Lea noticed him standing by the roadside with Luke.

"I hate relationships so much." Clary groans and went to her car, sending Brandon and Alex home since their cars are in the mechanic for a few days.

"How was school?" Calum ask, "kinda of the reason of why we dropped out but with a twist." Lea replies.

"Anyway we still hate school and we don't want to go back ever again." She then added in quickly.

"Well, you guys weren't famous then... So.. Yeah." Luke says, not sure what to say.

"So what are you guys?" Lea turns to Luke and I. "What?" Luke and i chorused.

"Luke gave you hickeys, you guys slept together- sorry that sounded wrong but you know what I mean." Lea laughs, her cheeks going slightly red.

Neither of us answered so I decided to change the topic, talking about going back to LA. Because coming back to Australia was sorta of a bad idea.

-

"You really want to go back to LA?" Luke ask.

"Yeah, but my tour is coming up in a month so I doubt I will go back to LA anytime soon." I replied.

"What about the diner?"

"I think I will close it down, or sell it to someone I can trust." I let out a sigh.

"So, your idea will be like what happened two years ago." Luke points out.

I look at him, "I don't know. Things don't always go the same way."

"I don't want you to leave again." Luke simply stated.

"I can't live here, Luke. You know that, I can be killed anywhere I go."

"What is this argument about anyway." I muttered, standing up and leaving his place.
