It's been a week since Michael dropped the bomb on me about America. One week. Which means there's only one more week until he packs up and moves all the way across the country. How is it possible that both my brother and boyfriend are moving away from me?

I still haven't decided if i'm going with Michael yet. Luke thinks I should, so do Michael and Cora. But I don't know if i'd be able to just pack up and move out of Australia. I know I said I would go with Luke to England, but I think deep down, I knew he'd say no.

I talked to my dad about everything, and he thinks it's best for me to go with Michael. He said he doesn't want me living in Sydney alone, so I would have to go back to Melbourne to live with him, which I don't exactly want to do either.

"I think you should go." Calum says.

I was currently lying on the couch at Calum's house. Him and I have always been close friends, especially since he was the first one I met when I flew here at the beginning of the summer. That seems like a lifetime ago.

"Why is everyone saying that?" I groan.

"Because, everyone knows that Michael and you need each other. And I know you're conflicted but, I think it's best for you to go with them." Calum tells me.

"He'll have Cora." I say.

"Yeah, but still. He needs you, you're his sister."

"I still can't believe Cora agreed to go with him all the way to America." I snort.

"You mean like you were willing to do with Luke to England?" Calum smirks.

I look at him and roll my eyes.

"Shut up." I laugh.

He puts his hands up in defence. "Just saying." He laughs.

"I just don't know what to do, Cal. I also don't want to leave you and Ash."

"We'll come visit you guys in America for Christmas. I'll spend Christmas Eve with my family and then come to Pennsylvania to see you guys on Christmas Day." Calum says.

"Cal, the flight is like, twenty hours long. You won't even make it on time. See, everything about this just won't work out." I sigh.

"Then i'll spend time with my family on the twenty-third, and then fly out and spend Christmas day with you guys. Every problem can be worked around, May. Stop trying to find every excuse not to go with Michael and Cora."

I sigh. I truthfully don't know what to do. I would hate to leave Calum, Ashton and my dad all behind in Australia. But, it would be nice to never have to see Brooke and them again. And I also don't think I could be in a completely different country than my brother.

"What happens if I hate America though?" I ask.

"Well, cross that bridge when you come to it. You'll never know until you try, May." Calum says.

Why does he always have to make so much sense? Why isn't anyone just telling me to stay here? Maybe it's because I shouldn't.

"You really think I should?" I ask.

He nods his head. "Yeah, I do."

"I still need to finish school though. Which is still a few months." I tell him.

"Yeah, well Luke will still be here. And so will Ash and I."

"You're right." I say as I stand up from the couch and walk over to the doorway, slipping on my shoes.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To talk to Luke. I need his take on all of this." I explain.

"Lay strikes again." Calum laughs.

"Lay?" I ask.

He nods. "Yeah, you and Luke."

Did he really just mesh Luke and I's names together? It's so juvenile, yet I can't help but love it.

"Cora made it up." He chuckles.

I roll my eyes and I wave goodbye as I walk out the door.

After a short walk, I arrive at Luke's house. I knock on his door and anxiously wait for him to open it. The door slowly opens to reveal Liz. As much as I love Liz, a part of me will always hold the fact that she's taking the boy I love away from me against her.

"Hi, May." She smiles as she embraces me in a hug.

"Hi. Is Luke home?" I ask.

She nods. "He's in his room. Go on up."

I thank her and make my way upstairs. I walk to his door and knock on it.

"It's open." He calls.

I open the door to see him on his bed with his laptop on his lap. He looks up at me and a smile instantly appears on his face.

"Hey, baby." He says as he closes his laptop, takes the headphones out of his ears and stands up.

He walks over to me and quickly pecks me on the lips.

"Luke." I whine. "I need to talk to you."

"About what? Is everything okay?" He asks.

I sigh as I collapse face first on his bed and bury my face into his pillows.

"I think I want to go to America with Michael." I muffle through the fabric.

"Good! I want you to go. It's what's best for you both." Luke says.

I groan as I sit up and remove the hair from my face. "Why does everyone keep saying that?" I ask.

"Because it's true."

"I just feel like, I don't know, I feel like i'm just going to abandon you. I know you're moving to England, it's just, I don't know. It doesn't feel right moving there when I know you're not coming with me." I tell him honestly.

"I know, baby. But i'll fly down for every holiday. And i'll spend the whole summer there with you guys. And maybe sometimes you can even come to England." He says hopefully.

"And how long will this all last, Luke? How long are we going to spend living in separate parts of the world? I don't want to drop this all on you but, how do you expect to have a life together if we only see each other for holidays and summer?"

"I don't know how long it'll last, May. But all I know right now is that I need to go with my mum, and you need to go with your brother. Sometimes we have to put other people before ourselves. But I promise you, one day we'll live together. In a place of our own, just us two." He smiles.

"Promise?"

He takes my hands in his and rests his forehead on mine. "I promise." He says as he leans in to kiss me.

He backs me up until my thighs hit the bed. I slowly lean backwards until I am lying on the bed. Luke follows and hovers above me, our lips never leaving each other.

"Nothing's going to happen here." I warn him.

"Why not?" He says as he playfully bites my lip, causing me to instantly moan.

"Because your mom is downstairs and she is not walking in on us again. Once was mortifying enough." I say.

He lifts his head and looks at me. "Your place then?" He smirks.

I roll my eyes and shove him off of me. "Shut up." I say as I sit up, Luke sitting beside me.

"But in all seriousness, are you going to go to America?" He asks.

Before my mind can even catch up, I find the words falling out of my mouth. "Yeah, I am."
