The One To Save You || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 7:

Luke's P.O.V. -

I felt so bad about making Rosie cry before. She was just talking and she went to push her hair behind her ears, and that's when I saw her scars.

Why? She so beautiful and amazing. She doesn't deserve any of what she's been through. So I'm going to make it my mission to make sure she's always happy.

I gave her a quick tour of the house when we got home.

"And last, my room!"

My room looked like any typical 16 year old boy's room would look. There were clothes on the floor, band posters on the wall, and my acoustic and my electric guitars were sitting in the corner of my room.

Rose walked in and sat down on my bed. So I walked over and sat next to her.

"Hey, can I see that?" she said, pointing to my acoustic guitar.

"Sure!"

She got up and grabbed the guitar and then came to sit back down on the bed. She started strumming a song that I'd heard so many times. It was "Vegas Skies" by The Cab.

She started singing the lyrics so beautifully.

It's Twelve O'Clock and I need your attention
It's like the alcohol making my head spin
Your scent is the rum
The room is a bottle
Keeping me hopeless 'til I wake tomorrow
If tonight ever makes a difference
The way that I feel
The way that I'll remember it
I'll take this down until the glass remains
Swallow the words that I was meant to say

It's a long drive back to Vegas Skies
So why don't I make one more wrong turn tonight so

I started singing with her really quietly for the chorus.

Say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

She sang the whole song perfectly, and I sang along with her for the chorus'. For the last couple lyrics of the song, we were looking right at each other's eyes.

Say goodnight
Our first goodbye
I've only got forever and forever is fine
Just take your time
We'll stop the clock together and know that the timing was right

She strummed the last couple of chords and I was amazed. She was amazing. How come she never told me she could sing and play guitar?

We were still gazing into each other's eyes. Our faces were just inches apart. My lips decided to go against what my brain would've said, and they leaned in to break the space between us.

But she didn't deny it. She closed her eyes and kissed me back. It lasted for about 20 seconds. Then, like we read each other's minds, we both pulled away.

She looked down at her hands and started blushing.

"Listen Luke, I'm not trying to rush into anything. It's only my second day here." she said.

"I know. I'm so sorry. Are we still friends...?" I was scared to hear the answer.

"Of course we are Lukey Poooooo." she said giggling.

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!" I knew she was ticklish, so to get her back, I started tickling her sides.

"OKAY OKAY IM SORRY!" she managed to get out in between bursts of laughter.

I stopped, and it took her about a minute to calm down from all the laughter. By the time she did, we had to leave for band.

We walked there. Well, she rode her skateboard.

I forgot to tell the boys she was coming. I hope they didn't mind..

When we walked in, they all stopped playing and yelled "ROSE!!!" They each took their turns running up to hug her.

I felt really jealous. I don't know why. I can't possibly like her. And even if I did, the boys wouldn't know. They were just saying hi.

I wasn't taking any chances, though, so I grabbed her hand and held it. She looked up at me surprised, but then held it back.

All the boys looked at each other, then at us, with very confused faces.

"Oh it's nothing." Rose started explaining.

"Yeah," I continued. "We're just friends."

For now...
