*lukes POV*
I'm walking down the street to get back to my car after an interview. It was kind of tiring and I just want to go home. I hear foot steps behind me and I turn around. It's a girl. She stops when I spot her and she goes to walk away.

"Hey" I say. She looks back at me and I can see her lips pull into a small smile.

"Are you a fan?" I ask walking towards her. She nods and looks down.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Kenzie" she smiles. She's very beautiful. We make small talk, she's actually super nice a little shy but very sweet. We get distracted and her face drops as her eyes divert from mine to behind me. I slowly turn to see a man with a gun pointed at me. I put my arm out in front of her and take a step back.

"Hey man. I don't have anything on me. Not even my phone." He shifts his gaze to Kenzie. I can feel my heart beating faster.

"What about you?"

"I-I have a dollar?" She takes a dollar bill out of her pocket. He grabs it from her hand and she instantly recoils back. I can hear her heavy breathes.

"You're that prissy guy in a boyband." Ouch...that kinda stung. "You should have more then this on you!"

"I swear I have nothing!" I say back.

"Fine then I guess you'll pay for it with your life." It all happened so quick. I hear the bang and I expected to feel it. But I didn't. I opened my eyes when I heard foot steps running. Kenzie was standing in front of me, looking down. She slowly turns around and looks up at me, then to her bloody hand and stomach.

"No no no Kenzie!" She starts to fall and I catch her, laying her gently on the pavement. "Why would you do that!" I say while pulling off my sweater and applying pressure to the wound.

"Cuz you were always there for me." I grab my phone which was actually in my pocket. "When I needed you the most" she continued softly.

"Kenzie I'm so sorry" I put 911 on speaker and we wait till someone comes to help her. She looks so peaceful and like she's not in pain I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

*at the hospital*
I sit and watch as a frantic couple walk up to the front desk. The nurse explains to them what happened and then points to me. They walk over and stare.

"You're that boy she likes" her dad says.

"Ya...ya i guess I am." They both sit next to me as she's in surgery right now. "I'm so sorry for what happened to your daughter" my face is wet with tears and I can't help but feel guilty. I couldn't give him phone. I have too many important numbers that can't be compromised. I know deep down he wouldn't have been satisfied anyways.

"Can you please tell us what happened?" I nod and I begin to tell them how we were mugged and it was supposed to be me. We keeping talking until I see Ashton, Calum and Michael walk in. I stand and wave them over.

"Uhm is it ok if I wait with you guys to see her. And maybe my friends too?" I ask her parents.

"Of course hun. You're apart of our family. You did get her here." I nod and introduce them. The hospital staff didn't let me see her until she was out of ICU so I took the time to get her some merch and a few other gifts. How do you repay someone who took a gun shot for you? I feel so emotional walking into her hospital room.

"Luke!" She smiles. She's in really good spirits given the circumstances. I smile. She reached out her arms for a hug and I of course give her one. I place the gift bag on the table next to her.

"I got a few things to say thanks for taking a bullet for me" I sorta laugh. I get nudged in the side.

"Oh yea. Uhm you know them but" I motion beside me to the guys. She smiles and waves.

"Uhm we got you a teddy bear." Michael says handing it to her.

"Kenzie. Thank you. You are so brave and kind and you're family now. You need anything I'm there. I promise you. However I can repay you I will."

"Luke you saved my life when I was sixteen, and again at seventeen. I was repaying you" I sigh.

"You're an amazing person." I say wiping my tears.
