From: Luke Hemmings
Can I come over today, please?
To: Luke Hemmings
Yeah come whenever I'm not busy
No later than three minutes later, Luke was standing in my bedroom, his curls masked by a black cap and wearing his Year Twelve jumper.
'Hey,' I said softly, gesturing for him to come and sit next to me on the end of my bed.
'Hey Sienna, how are you?' he asked with a kind smile, making my heart flutter slightly.
'Yeah, I'm okay how are you?' I asked gently, leaning against my pillows as we just stared at each other like we were strangers.
'I miss you,' he blurted out. 'I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that.'
'That's okay,' I laughed softly. 'I miss you too Luke.'
'What are we doing then Sienna?' Luke sighed, taking off his cap to reveal a sweaty mop of hair upon his head.
'What do you mean?' I asked Luke, climbing across my bed to sit next to me, our legs just touching.
'Two months until I leave for London Sienna, we really do not have any time to waste,' Luke laughed and I just rolled my eyes at him.
'I just still don't know how to feel about you and Eliza conspiring together,' I admitted, a defeated look on Luke's face. 'But I guess if we have two months left together, then why the hell not.'
'Are you serious?' Luke asked, an excited look on his face. I nodded to his question, a giggle coming out of my mouth as we turned to face towards each other and he took both of my hands in his own.
'You going to ask the question or what?' I teased, a slight grin on my face.
'Of course gorgeous,' Luke said with a smile. 'Sienna Irwin, will you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?'
'Again?!' I questioned sarcastically, a frown appearing on Luke's face. 'I'm kidding, of course, I will be your girlfriend again.'
'Thank you, I will make everything up to you Sienna,' Luke said before kissing my hand softly. 'I promise you that.'
'You don't have to do anything Luke,' I said.
'I don't want to ever hurt you again Sienna. Seeing you like that and knowing it was my fault...' Luke said trailing off as I squeezed his hand. 'It was heartwrenching for me, so I can't even begin to imagine how you felt.
'I love you,' I said softly, leaning in to kiss him softly, missing the feeling that he gave me when we kissed terribly. 'So much.'
Luke did not know about Shawn and I kissing at Hailee's party last week and I knew that I had to tell him sooner or later because if he did not hear it from me, he was going to hear it from someone else. I felt so guilty about the whole situation, so much so that I had not returned any of Shawn's text messages, calls or Snapchats from the past week.
The worst part about the situation was the fact that kissing Shawn did not feel wrong. It did not feel like I was kissing one of my best friends, it felt like I was kissing someone who I had wanted to kiss for a long time, which is what scared me the most. What if I had untapped feelings for Shawn and now that we had kissed those feelings would jeopardise my relationship with Luke.
'I love you more gorgeous,' Luke said, snapping me out of my thoughts before we both climbed underneath my covers together, our hands still intertwined loosely. 'So what do you want to do today?'
'I am very happy with just staying here for the rest of the day,' I said truthfully, as just being in Luke's company was enough for me.
'I agree, should we watch a movie?' Luke asked and I shook my head.
'C'mon we haven't been broken up for that long,' I laughed, referring to the fact that if we were to watch a movie in bed, I would one hundred per cent fall asleep in the first ten minutes.
'First of all, stop using that against me,' Luke laughed as I just rolled my eyes at him. 'Second of all, I know that you would fall asleep, just thought it may be different considering it is 11 am.'
'Definitely not, I would be out like a light in ten minutes,' I said shaking my head, before resting it on Luke's chest, missing the feeling of safety Luke gave me every time we were together. 'What day do you leave for London?'
'Sienna do we really have to talk about this?' Luke asked and I nodded against his chest.
'Yeah I need to know when to book my nails and what night to tan so I look good for your farewell photos,' I said with a laugh, partially joking.
'You're joking right?' Luke asked with a laugh.
'Partially.'
'I leave on the twenty-third of December.'
'Two days before Christmas,' I breathed, my heart aching at the thought that Luke would not be around for Christmas or New Years this year. 'Why can't you guys stay until the New Year?' I asked.
'Semester Two starts on the fifth of January, we need time to move into our apartment and actually figure stuff out,' Luke said and he did have a point. Moving to a different country to study abroad would be scary, and those four boys living together would be scary enough if it was just in Australia, in London it will be an absolute shit show.
'I guess that is fair enough,' I said gently, suddenly feeling selfish and not wanting Luke to leave.
'I will Skype or Facetime you every day Sienna, I promise.'
'You can't promise that.'
'Yes, I can. I would do anything for you and this will make not seeing your pretty face in person every day just that little bit easier,' Luke said kissing the top of my head softly, giving my hand a squeeze as I gripped it tighter.
'I don't want you to go,' I said truthfully because I did not. Long-distance relationships hardly ever work out and considering Luke and I are already on thin ice, this is going to be absolute hell. 'I know I am being selfish but yeah, I don't know, I really hate the fact that I won't be able to hug or kiss you or do anything at all with you every day.'
'I am not going to be gone forever, and I already have the dates that I am coming back planed.'
'What days?' I asked, the excitement in my voice even shocking me slightly.
'Well, I will be back for the whole of their summer holidays, so June, July and August,' Luke began and I nodded for him to continue. 'Then I come back on the fifteenth of December next year for Christmas and New Years.'
'You are going to miss my formal and my eighteenth,' I said, sounding more selfish than ever, but he did promise that he would come back for my formal, as there is nobody I would rather have on my arm than Luke.
'I know baby and I am sorry, it is just those dates are smack in the middle of the term and I can't exactly just come home for a weekend,' Luke said gently and I swallowed the lump that was in my throat, knowing that I was only going to see him twice next year.
'It is okay,' I said, even though both of us knew that it was not.
'Not it isn't Sienna, but we are going to make it work, I promise you.'
