I can't believe we are here guys I'm so surprised God I'm getting cold feet cuz' we are almost at the end of the book and I feel like I'm going to fail you guys I'm sorry if you expected more excitement out of this book and you thought it was a smut fanfic and I'm not really good in writing smut and I've tried I'm just sorry for being a bad author but I try my best but here's we go.

"So what are you doing today munchkin?" Abby asks over the phone while I flip through a Tiger Beat magazine, I wonder why I read this thing.

Oh wait I know to look at Luke.

"Nothing really, all my family is gone. Brother still has games, Mother on a week long trip with my aunt so I kinda just have the house to myself on Christmas." I kinda mumble and I can feel her face drop at the other end of the phone.

"You can come over to my place, wait lemme ask my mom first. MOM CAN V COME SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH US SHES LONELY CUZ EVERYONE IN HER FAMILY HAS GONE ONE PLACE OR ANOTHER!" I don't hear any answer back until.

"She said yes." I roll my eyes and look through my window just to see Luke working out.

Ditto.

"I'd love to come but Christmas is family time, I don't want to intrude or anything."

"So why don't we just call the gang together and we can go somewhere fun?"

It took me a while to answer her but then again. This'll be a great chance to catch up on the gang time. "Sure!" I squeal. She cuts the phone and I rush to my window lifting it up.

"Luke, ditch the weights, the gangs going on an adventure!!".

Luke's POV

I hate the fact that we broke up, I hate the fact that up to now I can still see disbelief in her eyes. Disbelief that she can trust me again.

Those smiles, those smiles are cover ups for the fear that still lies behind her layer of skin. I know she doesn't trust me the way she did. And I regret what happened that night.

It was the worst night of my whole life and if I could go back in time I would, I would if I could.

I didn't mean to cheat, I was drunk, my vision was blurry and that girl happened to be wearing the same thing as V, I was kissing someone I thought was my gal but it really wasn't.

I wanted to kill myself God, I'd never live that day down. It'll hunt me, quietly just underneath killing me slowly.

"You and The Vevster should get back together already, you're making this whole gang awkward for everyone." Calum pouts zipping up his paintball costume, I'm surprised the paintball arcade place thingy is open on Christmas but what the hey.

"Yeah, I miss you guys being a couple." Ashton adds but I see genuine sadness in his face, the one that reaches his eyes and I start to feel my heart burn. "I would if I could but Aveva isn't ready to rush into things." I shrug. Taking one last look at the mirror before heading out the changing room.

I see the girls in their jumpers, chatting it up, but then I see my everything standing in the middle of the 3 girls clutching her stomach for dear life. It's like she got even more beautiful now that we broke up, you never really  know how important something is to you until you loose it.

Her eyes meet mine and I see that smile she had on the first day we met.

I see a really cute girl crying on the edge of a sidewalk and I walk up to her. "Hey, why are you crying?" I take another lick out of my lollipop. "Those 3 big bullies stole my Barbie doll!" She wails again as she points to 3 boys that in my day, where called the 5 year old tuffies. "I'll deal with them!" I say hitting my chest and puffing it out to make me seem like I have abs. She starts giggling and I knew for sure she was gonna be around long. "Do you want to be my bestfriend?" She twiddles with her thumbs. "YES!" I smile. Like that we've been driving down the friendship road.

They always tell you friendship is like a drive, they're bumps and they're smooth rides. Maybe right now we're passing the bumps. But we're still holding on strong cuz' we both know the smooth ride is coming, any day now...
