I showed up to rehearsal the next day only to find Julie alone.

"Hey, where are the guys?" I asked.

"They'll be here soon." She nodded.

I sat over at the piano and lightly played for a bit.

I played 'Luke's Song' the song I wrote for him on his birthday.

"I thought you said it was done between y'all? It seems like you still like him."

"Obviously I still like him, Jules. Feelings don't disappear overnight. It's gonna take some time. But it's never happening between us." I shook my head.

"He's just being a dude."

Is she defending him? "Are you defending him?" I voiced my thoughts.

"No! Of course not. What he said was wrong. But it's luke. He does clearly like you."

I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Well that sucks because like I said. It's over."

The boys showed up and I stood from the piano angrily.

"Nice of you to finally join us." I sarcastically smiled at Luke.

I grabbed my electric guitar and stood in a new spot next to Reggie.

"Um, okay." Reggie was confused.

We started rehearsing and I was angrily shredding my guitar.

"Okay, guys stop. We should take a break and try again later."

"Fine by me."

I walked out of the studio and went to walk down the boulevard in front of the Orpheum.

Some guy bumped into me and looked surprised.

"I'm sorry." I apologized for absolutely no reason.

He looked me up and down before smiling, nodding, and walking away.

I was slightly creeped out and kept walking. After a few minutes I felt a hand around my mouth and someone pulling me backwards into an alleyway.

"Give me all your fucking money." The man from before said.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. He took it and pushed me to the ground.

"Please. I don't care about the money but can I have my wallet back. It has a picture of my mom-"

"Shut up!" He pointed a gun at me.

I refused to close my eyes. I looked him dead in the eyes while he was contemplating something. He threw my wallet down to me and ran off.

I sat that for a moment in shock. What the hell just happened?

I stood up silently and walked to the street. I saw Luke on top of the sign. Not the ideal person but after that I'll take it.

"Luke!" I yelled up at him. He flashed down to me.

"Y/n, hi, um, what's, what's up?" He was nervous.

"I just got robbed at gunpoint."

"Oh my god are you serious!? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine-" people looked at me weird. Right. They can't see him.

I walked around the corner with him and we began going home. "I'm fine. It was scary as hell but I'm okay. Thankfully he only took my money and not my picture of mom."

He looked sympathetic.

"Does this mean we're back to talking and being friends?"

We arrived home and stood outside the garage.

I looked down at the ground. "Luke-"

"Just listen. I know that what I said what bad. And I'm not excusing it or anything like that. But physical touch is a big thing for me. I want to be able to hug and hold my partner. I don't have that with you unless were singing."

"I didn't realize this until after I left but did you even notice that we were holding hands the other day? Like we were actually touching. You could do it if you tried.like with your guitar."

He didn't say anything and he tried holding my hand again but it went through a couple times.

I nodded. "I guess not." I turned to walk away and suddenly felt his hand on my shoulder.

I stopped and turned around.

His other hand went to my waist as the one that was on my shoulder cupped my face. Luke pressed his lips against mine roughly.

We backed up into the wall of the studio and I put my leg up against his side. After a few more seconds, I couldn't feel his lips and my leg dropped from his side. I couldn't touch him anymore.

"Was that good enough for you?"

I nodded quietly.

"I'm sorry y/n. Please forgive me for what I said."

I bit my lip, still thinking about our kiss.

"Do you think I would've kissed you if I didn't."

He smiled largely. "Thank you thank you thank you! As soon as I get the energy to hug you I will."

I smiled and let out a soft laugh.

"Or you could go get your guitar and play while I give you hickeys."

"I like your idea better." We both went into the studio and saw the band.

"Y'all heard everything didn't you."

"What? No." Alex lied horribly.

"Yes." Reggie smiled cluelessly causing me to chuckle.

"Does this mean you two are together?" Julie asked the question I was thinking.

"Of course." Luke smiled. He took his index finger and linked it with mine.

"This way takes up less energy." He explained

"I love it."
