The Glue - Luke Hemmings: Sequel to Collapsed

Chapter 28

Luke's POV

I watched as Aria slept peacefully in my arms. It was now, that I realized how in love I really was with her. This girl, from Baltimore, that ended up here in Florida, solely on the reason that she tried to kill herself.

I wonder, if I would've ever have met her if she didn't try to do that. Would we have ever become friends, ever dated, ever gotten married.

I had an undying love for her. She was my sun, my moon, and all of my stars. She was there for me when nobody else was. She gave me love. Something I had longed for, but feared.

But I no longer fear love. And it's all because of her. She told me that she'd never leave me the day we met. And she hasn't. Nobody had ever been so patient with me. Not even my own mother.

She was the only person, I loved. The only person I will ever love. I loved every single aspect of her. Starting from the way she constantly tucks her hair behind her ear to how amazing of a mother she is. And every single thing in between.

There was nothing more I could've ever asked for in a girl. There was no such thing as perfect. But she was pretty damn close to it. She was my type of perfect.

She helped me raise my little sister, who just be starting at the University of Duke in North Carolina. On a full scholarship to attend. Words couldn't have described how proud of her I was.

Aria had given me two amazing kids. That I loved so much. They meant the world to me. They had just turned 12. Will still remained very quiet and kept to himself. While Maddy stayed outgoing and obnoxious. But it didn't lessen my love for them.

I remember as a teenager, thinking life was just all about sex and having fun with your best friends. But there's more to it than just that. In life, it's about falling in love, being happy, and having new adventures.

It was safe to say, Aria was my adventure. I never would've thought that one girl would change my life o much. She was my escape from reality and she was my reality.

I could never picture my life without her. I hardly remember what life without her was like. She was my getaway.

I loved her.

I looked back down at her, and she was already looking back up at me. "Hi." She smiled.

"Good morning baby." I pecked her nose.

She giggled and smiled. "What were you thinking about?" She asked.

"Everything."

"What do you mean?"

"I meant, I'm thinking about how amazing my life is. How I wouldn't change anything."

She leaned up and kissed me softly. "Good, because I wouldn't change anything either."

We laid there a little longer, in each other's arms. Finally, we got up to the sound of the twins fighting with each other. I groaned as we got up and walked to the kitchen were they were.

I got in there, and I was surprised to see they both had knives pointed at each other. "Both of you, put those down." I shouted.

They dropped the knives on the floor, causing them to clatter against the tile. "Now what's going on in here?" Aria asked, bending down and picking up the knives.

"Will said that I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend." Maddy said in an annoyed tone.

"Because then that boy will hurt her." Will argued back.

"Yes. Your not allowed to have a boyfriend." I said, throwing Maddy over my shoulder.

"Why?" She whined.
