~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got out of work early due to my boss letting me off because of something that happened in the building. He didn't tell me what it was, instead he told all his staff to leave because it was a huge emergency and it wasn't safe to be there. I knew Luke wasn't going to be home since he and the boys had a huge studio recording day for some new songs, so I knew I would have the house to myself for a little while.

When I walked into the house I heard shouting and it made me a little hesitant to keep walking. I really wanted to see what that noise was, but I also wanted to go back to my car and hide. I wanted to call the police and Luke. I want to be comforted and safe in his arms. I jumped when I felt the floor shake, which made me almost let out a scream, but I held it in because I didn't want the intruder to hear me. I was shaking so much when the shouting came back. I took a deep breath and continued to where I heard the yelling coming from.

I stopped in the kitchen doorway when I saw the basement door cracked open. I was confused cause Luke and I never once stepped foot in the basement since we really didn't need to. All of the rooms, and essentials were all upstairs. Right when I was about to step closer to the door the floor shook again and it made me lose my balance, so before I could lose my footing I grabbed the door way to hold onto. Then I heard yelling from someone I knew all too well. "Listen to me asshole! You're going to tell me the information you have and if you don't, you really don't want to know what will happen next."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My sweet boyfriend of four years was acting so harsh to this person. I was determined to know what was going on so I opened the basement door quietly and walked down the stairs while holding the railing. Right when I was close to the last couple steps I had to hold tightly to the railing since the ground shook once more. I looked up to find four people standing around someone tied against a pole. All I could do was stand there, but when I saw Luke pull his arm back to punch the guy again I said...

"Luke!?"

He immediately retreated his hand. He turned around super fast while everyone else in the room turned. I could make out three of the guys other than Luke and they were the boys guards for the shows. I turned back to look and he looked stunned to see me. " W..What are you doing home?" I couldn't talk for a split second because I was still in shock. When I finally said something it came out quiet. " My boss said there was an emergency so he sent all his staff home." I took a pause before tilting my head and asked...

" I thought you were supposed to be in the studio today. Why are you home? And why are you throwing punches? Who even are you?"

He looked surprised that I asked the last question. He tried to walk closer to me but I moved back some. " Don't come near me." I said through gritted teeth. He understood and stayed put.

" Baby come on. It's me." He whispered

I shook my head and tried to ignore the tears forming in my eyes. I just turned around and ran up stairs to the kitchen to think.

Luke's POV

I watched Zee go upstairs, I felt so bad that she had to see this side of me. I never really wanted her to find out this way. I turned back around and one of the guards let them take care of him since he wasn't going to spill anything. I then ran upstairs to go talk this out with her.

I found her pacing in the kitchen while biting the tips of her finger. I wanted to go up to her, but didn't since she already told me to not touch her. "Zee, baby. Please hear me out."

She turned her head and stopped pacing. She looked furious to see me. She pointed her finger right at me and let out a fake laugh. " I would love for you to explain to me why you decided to beat up someone in our house." I didn't know if she was serious or not so when I opened my mouth to speak she cut me off. " Luke, you do realize how bad this is for you. You can't just go around beating people up. You have a reputation to hold, you're in one of the world's larger boy bands. Do the guys even know about this?"

I looked down and nodded my head, but that wasn't enough for her. Cause I heard her let out a scuff of annoyance. " Yes or no Luke. Do the boys know that you're beating people up till they almost die." I then whispered " Yes."

" Omg, I can't even look at you."

I looked at her and let out my own scoff. " I don't care, so what if I'm in a gang..." before I could say anything else Zee shouted... " You're in a gang. Omg! Luke!"

I could tell by the tone of her voice she was pissed. I tried to walk up to hear again but she put her hands up as if she was surrendering. I tried to calm down but I could think straight because she was listening to me. I raised my hand to move my hair out of my face and I saw her jump back. My face softened. " Baby." I whispered

Zee's POV

I jumped when I saw him raise his hand. I walked back a little but my back hit the counter. I just wanted to disappear and never see Luke. I saw his face soften when I jumped but kept my head down so he couldn't see the tears running down my face now. " Baby." I let out a small whimper and shook my head. " No..no" I stuttered. I heard him let out a sigh of disappointment. " I understand if you hate me, but please understand that I can't just up and leave the gang."

" Stop. I don't want to hear anymore. I just want to be left alone for a while." I said He nodded his head and let me leave. I could feel him watching me, but never once came to stop me.

Luke's POV

I watched her run up the stairs to her room with tears in my eyes. I let out a deep sigh and dropped onto the couch and just let the tears go. I haven't cried this much in forever. Watching her leave makes it feel like she's leaving me forever. And my heart can't take it. I heard a big thud coming from the stairs and what I saw broke my heart where you could probably hear it. I immediately got up, but didn't walk up to her. I just put my hands in my pockets and waited for her to say those words. She looked up and I could tell she was crying a lot more since her face was all red and puffy. It broke my heart to see her like this, but I could only blame myself.

" Um, I'm going to stay at Grace's house for a while. I don't know when I'll come back, but I just need time." She quietly said

I nodded and asked... " Are we going to be okay?"

She let out a breathy sigh and shrugged her shoulders. She gave me one last look before walking out the front doors to her car. I wanted to run up to her, kiss her so badly and make her stay but I didn't want her to hate me even more than she already has. All I could do was watch from the front door and pray she would come back to me.

Zee's POV

When I got to Grace's house I knocked on her door and when she opened it she immediately pulled me into her warm embrace. I then could feel the tears leaving my eyes once again. We stayed up almost all night talking about the situation and she told me..." You are more than welcome to stay here as long as you like Zee. You're my best friend." I gave her a smile and hugged her once again.

3 months later

I was in the kitchen making Grace and I some lunch when my phone rang. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw it was Ashton. I didn't know what to do because I haven't spoken to any of the boys since the incident with Luke. Before the call went to voicemail I answered it with shaky hands. " Hello?" I whispered

I heard him take a deep breath, " Hey." he paused before saying, " I know you don't really want to talk to him Zee, but he's been a mess ever since you left. He won't leave his room, won't eat, won't sleep. All he does is cry and look at pictures of you too."

I let out a small sigh..." Look Ashton, I really miss him, but he...he.." I could finish the sentence, so Ashton just said..." I know Zee. And he feels so bad about that. He really wishes you didn't have to find out like that. He really wanted to tell you, but he was trying to protect you."

" Ashton?" I asked, " Yes?" He asked

" If I do this, it won't be the same. It will be kind of awkward and I don't know if our relationship will be the same." I explained

He was quiet for a while. I was about to say something, but I heard him let out a sigh. " I know Zee. I know things won't ever be the same with you too."

Luke's POV

I was on my bed trying to not cry again today. I've been so upset about Zee leaving no trace of contact or coming back to me and it's been three months. I felt like my heart was breaking. I just wanted Zee to let me explain and tell her how I was protecting her. It was for her protection, I didn't want anything to happen to her.

My thoughts got interrupted by footsteps coming up the steps. I know it had to be Ashton because he kept trying to get me to eat something, but I always told him I wasn't hungry. I heard them stop and then a knock followed right after. I sighed and said..." Ashton, I told you I'm not hungry." I then heard a familiar voice quietly say..." It's Zee, can I come in?" I blinked before racing to the door and yanked it open. Right in front of me I saw her. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and tell her how sorry I am but I didn't know if she would want me too. So I did the only other thing I could think of which was putting my hands in my pockets.

She took a shaking breath and said..." I miss you so much Luke." I almost let out a cry from how quiet her voice was. I looked at her and said..." I miss you more than you know Zee. Please come back to me. Let me make this right. How can I make this right?" She bit her bottom lip and said..." If you can stop being in the gang. And if you can't then just please don't beat up any more people to death."

I couldn't think straight. She wanted me to quiet, but she didn't know what to say. I already kind of quiet and the boss was pissed but he kind of understood that I needed to focus on my music more these days than beating up people. I nodded my head and told her..."I already kind of left the gang the day you left."

She smiled and walked up to me so our chests were almost touching. She then casually placed her arms around my neck and pulled me so are lips where inches from each other. " Promise me just this one thing." I looked right into her eyes and whispered..." Anything." She gave me a look that told me she was going to be proud or sad, I'm not so sure. " Promise to just focus on your music." I nodded my head and leaned in a little bit more so our lips were seconds from touching each other. I could see that she was losing her patients with me so she closed the gap and kissed me hard.

I smiled into the kiss and gently pulled her closer to me. I pulled us apart and held her close and whispered in her ear..." I love you so much Zee. I promise to not get into any more trouble." I felt her smile against my chest. " I love you more Luke. And I already know you're going to stay out of trouble."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OMG I am so sorry for the wrong thing yet again. I really hope this is much better for your liking. I think I did a somewhat decent job with it. If not let me know, I would really appreciate the mistakes I made. It helps me become a better writer. Again I keep apologizing, but I really do feel bad for the wrong idea.

I really hope you enjoy this one a lot better. And feel free to request again soon.
