The Lost Second (The sequel to A Different Summer)

Chapter 22:)

"Why me?" Claudia laughed as she sat beside him.

"Because you're delicious." Calum smirked, as Claudia hit him on the shoulder.

"That was so bad mate." Ashton laughed as I began shaking my head.

"Well what's your worst." Calum asked, raising a dark eyebrow to were Mik and Ash where curled up on the couch.

"Are you a Volcano cause I Lava you." Ashton grinned as Mik's mouth dropped open.

"Someone else go. Please." Ashton muttered, instantly embarrassed.

"Ok, Let's play titanic, you be iceberg I go down." Michael said just as I flung a cushion at his face. I guess there's something I do when I get shocked I throw stuff.

"OH MY GOD THAT'S DISGUSTING" Lizzie yelled slapping Mike on the arm.

"Don't lie you've done it before." Michael said shamelessly as he took a swig from his cup.

"MICHAEL."

"TOO MUCH INFORMATION." I yelled as horrified gasps continued to escape Luke's mouth.

Then the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." I yelled, taking the opportunity to leave as soon as possible.

"I'm coming." Luke muttered, still shaking his head in horror.

We walked to the door, unsnibbing the door.

"OMG IT'S LUKE HEMMINGS." The girl yelled as soon as the door swung wide. My eyes widened, oh god this was a mistake.

"I'm like your biggest fan." The girl standing on the door mat holding our pizza's gushed. She looked funny, her uniform a brilliant yellow. I felt sorry for her, meeting her idol in right yellow and reeking of several pizza toppings.

"Um, Hi." Luke grinned, looking slightly shocked.

"Can I get a picture?" The girl asked as she shoved the boxes into my arms. The hot cardboard irritating my skin.

"Sure." He replied with a small smile. I could tell he was feeling slightly awkward.

"Just let me get a shirt." He said, running back into the house, only to return wearing a black T-shirt.

They took a photo and I paid the girl for the pizza, closing the door as she slowly staggered down the drive. It was quite funny actually.

"Well that's not something that happens everyday. I can't even order pizza without getting notice." Luke sighed, looking baffled.

I didn't reply, placing the containers of pizza on the bench before I brought Luke back into the formal lounge room so we where alone. I could tell his mind was somewhere else. His usually bright eyes where guarded and his expression was tight. It was a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. Most guys his age where focused on HSC or going to Uni. However he was debating on how he would go to the movies without being swarmed.

"Do you want to talk about stuff?" I asked, placing my hands on his waist.

"Yeah I do. There's a lot going on." He muttered, pulling me into a tight hug. I smiled and hugged him back, my face pressed into the crook of his neck.

"I couldn't imagine how hard it must be sometimes." I murmured, looking up into his face.

"I love it, every second but sometimes I just want to disconnect myself. Disappear for a week, with you." He sighed, his fingers running into my hair.

"That was incredibly cheesy and beautiful." I laughed, resting my hand against the side of his face. My fingers lightly brushing the blonde hair near his ear.

"Mmmmm but true." He sighed with a small, shy grin.

"I love you Bailey. I do, I fucking love you to death and, I don't know once we go back on tour how I'm going to survive without you. These last few days have made me realise that. God, I......." His voice broke as he sunk down onto the couch. His shoulders where hunched and in the moonlight he looked far from beautiful.

I sunk down beside him, tears prickling at the corners of my eyes.

"I.... I just don't know if I can do this Bai. I need you with me." He stuttered, burying his head into the palms of his hands. I felt useless. I didn't know what to do.

"I don't know what I'd do either." I sighed, the realisation hitting me harder then it should've.

"But you need to do this Luke, it's only just started. I love you and I will for a very, very long time but you need to do this." I sighed, moving closer.

I heard a sniff, I knew he was holding it in.

"I'm not going anywhere Luke. You can decide if you want too. But I'll always be here, waiting." I whispered, turning so I was facing him cross legged. His head rose slowly at my words.

"I'll never leave you Bailey Rose Tyler. I promise." He murmured, turning to look at me. Tears swimming in his eyes. In this light the blue almost looked black.

"Come here." I gestured to my stomach, as I lied back into the couch. Luke moved so his head rested on my chest, his blonde hair tickling the nape of my neck. He was quite a bit longer then the couch so his feel hung off the end.

"Let it out Prince Charming." I sighed as I felt the thin fabric of my cover up begin to get damp.

"I'm no Prince Charming." He murmured, his voice deep and beautiful.

"You are too me Luke."

"You are to me." I said softly, leaning down to press my lips gently to hiss. The kiss was affectionate, tasting slightly salty as Luke blinked the tears from his eyes.

We stayed there for a while, the pizza at the back of our minds. Murmuring sweet nothings and everything's, holding each other close and playing with each other's hair.

And everything was painfully perfect.

I'm crying

Im so sorry, I do t usually cry in my own stories but I definitely did tonight. Anyone else?

I just want to repeat what I said yesterday. I really don't like spiteful inboxes. If you don't like my story or opinion stop reading and deal with it. Cause, no offence, but tell someone who cares. It's hurtful and effects readers who are happy and can move on and not take stuff personally. I don't feel like I've been offensive, like at all.

I hope everyone understands that this has annoyed me and I hope that the support stays high and the hate stays low.

Love the supporters of this story to death and the nice inboxes are amazing. They make me smile so much!!!!

*haters gonna hate #tswizzle

Love you
