Tatiana's P.O.V

The skies were clear and the temperature was just perfect, but something felt oddly different. A hand brushed against mine and I have the urge to pull it away but my body resists and a face shows up in front of mines, it was Luke.

No, it was Calum. The faces kept changing back and forth, making me feel utterly confused but I was laughing, the face finally stops at Luke and he kisses me on the nose, making me laugh. We were on a picnic, the grass was spring-green and the birds were chirping up in the tree, waiting for the mother to come back. The whole time we were sitting, everything was just quiet. Not just quiet, but a peaceful quietness. Nothing too surprising or emotion-wrecking. It was peace.

"Hey." a voice interrupts the dream, and Luke is still looking at me in awe.

"Tatiana, I know you're tired but wake up." the voice repeats again.

~ dream ends ~

I jolt up in pain and I clutch immidiately to my stomach, I hated these times of the month. My body was positioned in a curl, and my bed scoops down, I didn't really care who it was. My mind was elsewhere and my body was frozen in eternal pain. Well, not literally.

"Are you okay?" the voice asks, worriedly.

I turn my head slowly to the right and look up revealing Luke with a worried look across his face, he bit his lip in nervousness.

I shook my head 'no' and faced my body towards the front of the room again since I didn't really except him to be in my room or my house.

"What are you doing here?" I croaked, still in pain from the cramps that just randomly decided to attack me.

"Just visiting an old friend.." Luke muttered, was he serious?

"Are you sure? You don't really have any friends except your bandmates." I said, a bit too harshly but I didn't really give a care or so.

"Ouch that hurt.. Anyways, I'm visiting you." he admitted, I turned around, but I kept myself on the bed, clutching onto my stomach still, and avoiding eye contact. I finally had the strength to sit up and when I do, the pain increases but I endure it and fake a smile.

"So, are you okay or not?" Luke asked once more, making me laugh a bit at his idiotcity.

"Obviously I am not okay, I'm having major cramps." I whined, referring to my stomach.

"What can I do to make you feel better?" he offers, quite shyly.

"You don't have to offer anything, Luke Hemmings. I just want a clear explanation why you all of a sudden appear in my bedroom and house." I said firmly.

"Fine, it's me and Sabrina.." he started, and I nodded my head for him to continue on, "Lately, she's been acting up with me and we have been fighting more and more everyday because she gets jealous over the five-sauce fam. She hates how they always comment on my pictures with various comments."

I took a breath in and understood that Sabrina was a jealous type but why would she take it this far, even involving the band's fans? Isn't that a bit too much? Obviously, fan-girls will, you know, do their fan girl stuff.

"I think you should explain to her what fangirls are and how they're like, if she doesn't approve of the idea of fan-girls or fan-girling then I will have a talk with her." I smile at the worried boy.

"Thanks for the help. But, there is just one more thing bothering me personally." he says in a hitch of a breath.

"Well, what is it?" I asked, curiously.

Luke's P.O.V

Should I tell her? Wait. The question is, do I even have the confidence to ask her?

"I think me and Sabrina should take a break." I lied, biting my tongue.

"Really? Why?" she asks, alertedly.

Sabrina may be her bestfriend but god she needs to be put on mute someday or so.

"She always tends to nag on me twenty-four seven and I have been recently losing feelings, again." I sighed deeply, closing my eyes and sitting still, waiting for a couple of minutes for her answer.

"Luke, no. Do not break up with her. You both were literally made for each other! Do you see how she looks at you while you're not looking at her? Or how you both look at each other? You both are like love-sick puppies!" she said in one breath, looking up at me with puppy eyes.

Damn it.

"Okay, fine I'll give it another shot. Alright?" I give up, surrending and throwing my hands up. She returns a laugh and smiled at me until pain occurs once again to her, making me incredibly worried once more.

"Luke, rub my back?" she asks, teary-eyed from the pain she's been experiencing. I simply nod and she lays on the pillow besides me. I pull up her sweater and expose the hot skin, making contact with my cold hand from outside. She tenses at first then relaxes.

"By the way, we're just friends." she says, not turning around.

"Did you just friend-zone me?" I gasp sarcastically, but still pretty surprised at her sass-level.

"Luke, I have a boyfriend, it is my duty to friendzone every guy." she laughs, making me laugh along aswell.

"Fine princess." the words slip out of my mouth and she turns around smiling.

"Thanks prince."

my life brightened again.
