Luke and I lay on the couch cuddled together in a comfortable silence. 

"Hey, May?" Luke says.

"Yeah?" I ask, craning my neck to look up at him. 

"I'm really glad this didn't break us." He tells me.

I smile. I'm so glad it didn't break us either. Deciding to trust Luke is such a better feeling than not trusting him. After all, trust is one of the most important things in a relationship and if we don't have trust, then what's the point of even being in a relationship.

Even though we've established how the number came to be in his possession, we still don't know how Brooke knew about the number being in Luke's phone. And how did she even get ahold of Luke's phone to begin with? 

"It's getting late." I say, sitting up from the couch, only to have Luke pull me back down.

"Just stay a little bit longer." Luke whines.

I shake my head with a smile playing on my lips, mainly from the cute voice Luke is using.

"I can't. I actually didn't lie about having homework. I have a bunch. Senior year is killing me and i'm almost failing Math. I can't just stop doing my work when I only have three months to go." I tell him.

Three months. Three months until graduation, three months until I move to America, and three months until Luke goes to England. I push away the thoughts. Pretending as if nothing's going to change in a few months is basically the only thing keeping me from going crazy over it all. 

"I'll help you with it." Luke says.

"We both know if you're there, no homework will actually get done." I laugh.

"Fine." Luke groans. "I'll drive you tomorrow morning though, right?" 

I nod. "Yeah, i'll see you then." I say as I stand up.

Luke grabs my hand and pulls me back down again. Before I can speak, he presses his lips to mine. I kiss him back immediately, cupping his cheek in one of my hands.

"Thank you for believing me." He says lowly against my lips.

"Always. From now on, always." I promise before pressing my lips to his again.

I move my leg to the other side of him, now straddling his waist. I grip onto his shirt and he slowly runs his fingers down my spine. Our lips move faultlessly against each others as I rustle, trying to get myself in a comfortable position.

"Stop moving, May." Luke hisses.

"Wha―oh, sorry." I blush as I eye the prominent bulge in his pants. 

He moves his lips to my neck and trails kisses down to my collar bone, sucking harshly. Luke slowly moves his lips back to mine, kissing me intensely. He slips his hand into my pants, instantly causing me to moan. 

"Luke." I say, putting my hand on his chest. "We're not doing this right now."

"Why not?" He practically pouts.

"Because!" I giggle. "We're on your living room couch for one. And your mother could come home any second."

"My room then?" Luke smirks.

"No. I need to go home. I tried going twenty minutes ago but you used my weakness against me." 

"What weakness?" He asks.

"You." I roll my eyes and playfully shove his chest.

I stand up from the couch and flatten out my hair as best as I can from Luke's hands going through it. 

"See you tomorrow." I say, kissing Luke quickly before walking to the front door.

I get home shortly after and go up to my apartment. I unlock the door and take my shoes off. I go into my room and pull out my textbooks, prepared for a night of hell and wishing I was with Luke.

-

"See you after school. Look for Calum's car though because we're all going to go Ashton's for Friday night movie night." Luke says.

"Okay." I sigh.

"Or...not?" Luke chuckles slightly.

"No, no. It's fine, of course we'll go. It's just still so strange without Michael and Cora here." I tell him honestly.

"Trust me, I know. No one's there to tease Calum for picking She's The Man every damn time." Luke chuckles. 

"He said he's loving college." I update Luke. "He also works on campus and Cora got a job near their apartment. Everything's really going good for them." I say.

"Why do you not sound happy about that?" Luke asks.

"I am! Don't get me wrong, of course i'm happy that everything's working out great for them. I just thought, never mind. It's too selfish to even say out loud." 

"Tell me."

"I don't know, I just thought that maybe if they hated it there that they would come back to Australia. I know that's selfish and deep down I don't want that to happen because I know Michael's happy there and happiness is all I want for him. I just miss him, that's all." I tell Luke honestly.

Luke takes my hand and kisses my palm. "That's completely understandable, May. I'm honestly so proud of you for the way you've been handling it all. You're being so strong about it."

"Yeah because I know i'll be living with him again in three months. But what about you? I'm the one who's proud of you for being so strong about it. You're the one who's rarely ever going to see him agai-" I stop myself once I realize my words are probably doing more harm than good, even though that obviously wasn't my intention.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"

"I know, baby. It's okay." Luke says.

Just then, the warning bell goes off, letting me know I have ten minutes to get to class.

"I'd better go." I say.

"See you soon. I love you." Luke says.

"I love you more." I say as I kiss him before stepping out of the car.

I open the doors and walk inside. I go to my locker and put in my combination, opening my locker up and grabbing my first period binder. Brooke is standing with all of her friends, but I decide to ignore her. Travis is with them, but he doesn't say a word to me. Not that I would expect him to, but I just hate how everything went down. I wish him and I could have been normal friends, but no, Brooke just won't have that will she?

"I saw Luke drop you off. I continuously said you were always too quick to forgive him. Now I know I was right." Brooke scoffs.

Before my brain can catch up, I spin around and face her. 

"How did you get Luke's phone? How did you even know Luke had that girl's number?" I ask.

I had promised myself last night that I was going to let it go, and I honestly was. But then Brooke had to go open her big mouth and set me off. 

"Well that's between Luke and I." Brooke smirks.

"Cut the shit, Brooke. It's honestly pathetic that you're so obsessed with someone who is clearly taken. Luke will never love you, get over it. Stop trying to ruin our relationship because of it, it won't work. Don't you get it? Every little scheme you've created to try and break us up has failed. Isn't it time to move on with your life before you embarrass yourself even more?" 

I slam my locker shut and walk off, extremely proud of myself. 

"Shut up." I hear Brooke say to her snickering friends. 

I smile to myself. I'm proud that I finally had enough courage to say all those things to her. Maybe I was a bit harsh but she deserves that and more after everything she's put Luke and I through. I walk upstairs and just as I am about to walk into my homeroom class, someone grabs my arm to stop me. I turn my head to see Travis.

"Oh um, hey." I say awkwardly.

"Can you meet me in the quad at lunch?" He asks.

"Oh, I don't really think that's a good idea I mean aft-"

"Relax. I'm not going to try anything." He laughs before regaining his serious expression. "I just have something to tell you that I think you should know." 

I know Luke doesn't want me to be friends with Travis, but i'm not. And I think meeting him in the quad is pretty harmless. I mean, what's he going to do, make a move on me in front of half the school? Highly doubtful. And plus, I really want to know what he wants to tell me.

"Yeah, okay." I agree.

"Alright, see you then." He says as he walks off.

I walk into my class and take a seat, hoping I don't regret this.
