I haven't really talked to Luke like I normally do since the night he previewed his song to me. Its been three days, and he only called me like 230 times. No big deal. I guess I don't know how to approach him, how to feel. I have been battling my emotions for these last three days and I'm very confused. Like I have said before, I have known Luke since I was eight and now I am almost seventeen. Luke has been the only person I could trust throughout this time and the only one who has sticked with me though the tough moments. Last night when he said that the song was about America and not actually a person I felt some type of way. I thought of him wanting to leave me here in Australia alone, so that he could follow his dreams. Now call me selfish all that you want but I can't lose my best friend, he is the only one that I have besides my mom. Well actually my mom took my dads side last night when she saw Luke giving me a piggy back ride home. She now thinks that Luke is taking advantage of me and when he left she told me that it might have been a good idea to stay away from him....

So right now he is the only person in my life that I can fully trust.

I really don't know why I felt the way I did when he explained the meaning of his song. I really should talk to him, but for once in my lifetime I am scared of him. I am the type of person who has trouble with their words. So I could say something and he might take it out of context and never talk to me again. But I know he is worried about me. I decide to text him.
Me:
Hey. I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in the last three days.
Luke:
Omg! That's fine is everything alright? Are you okay?
Me:
Yes. I just needed time to deal with stuff. But I'm fine now. :)
Luke:
I was so worried about you. I called you like three hundred times. Btw sorry about that. I was gonna tell you that my mum is having a dinner tonight and she wanted to know if you could come with your family.
Me:
Uh idk. Me and my parents don't really get along, but I will go if you like? Plus I don't think my "dad" is too fond of you...
Luke:
Oh yea you're right! Okay my mum said it was the if you just came over. Btw the boys will be there. Hope you don't mind meeting them...;) be there in ten!
Me:
WHAT??? LUKE I'M NOT EVEN READY!

I wait for him to reply but he doesn't. I now have seven minutes to get out of my pajamas and into something. I sprint to my closet and pull out a strapless floral dress that goes almost down to my knees. I quickly place it on and release my curly hair out of its bun and shake it out with my hand. I quickly place lotion on and find my black combat boots. Great I now have three minutes. I attempt to brush my teeth and put on mascara at the same time. I mean it worked but I have to clean the mascara marks from around my eyes. I finish with all of that and realise that I forgot the eyeliner. I swipe a quick clean line above my lash lines and across my water lines. I spay on my our moment perfume grab my pink lip gloss and run down stairs to the front door, snatching it open. There in my doorway stands Luke with his fist up ready to knock. He blushes and the bites down on his lip ring.

"Hi" I speak just above a whisper

"Hey" he says softly.I hear my father come down the stairs. I turn to face him and he looks angry.

"Where are you going young lady?" He asks looking at my wardrobe.

"I'm going to have dinner tonight with Luke and his family" I say bluntly.

"Not dressed like that you aren't" he yells. I look at him and then back at Luke. I smile and walk outside closing the door behind me .

"Run!" I scream grabbing Luke's hand and running as fast as I can towards his house. We stop when we turn the second corner to his house and I let go of his hand.

"Well I'm gonna be in trouble when I get home" I breath out fixing my dress

"I'm sorry. But what was wrong with what you're wearing? And why was he mad this time?"he asks running hand through his hair. "I don't know I wore this when we had to go to his businesses meeting and he thought I looked fine." I smile.

"Well, I think you look very nice. And I like your hair." He says quietly.

"Really? Thanks!" I say

"Hey, can I ask you something?" I ask

"You just did. Just kidding." He bites down on his lip.

"Well then. I just wanted to know if the boys know who I am, I guess" I look down at my feet

"Of course they do, and trust me they already love you. Calum  practically wouldn't shut up about you the whole time he arrived at my house." He chuckles

"Really?I don't even know who he is?" I explain as he opens the door to his home. I follow Luke into the kitchen and see three boys Luke's mom and another lady sitting at the table.

"Britt, I would like you to meet the boys. This is Ashton."he says pointing at a boy with curly hair and a bandana on. I smile and wave, he give a cheeky grin and waves back.

"This is the boy that wouldn't shut up about you Calum" he says pointing at another boy with darker hair. He blushes and mumbles hi. I smile and say hello, as he continues to stare at me.

"This is Michael" like points at another boy with purple hair. He gives a bright smile and says hello. I wave and sit next to Luke across from his mom and the older lady. We eat dinner and I am asked a whole bunch of questions about America. Mostly by Calum.

After dinner everyone starts talking about the new song that the boys wrote.I smile and listen to the conversation but to be honest I really had to go to the bathroom. I excuse myself and run upstairs to the bathroom. I close the door and look in the mirror and place my lip gloss. I take a moment to fix my hair and calm down. As soon as Ashton mentioned the song I low key freaked out and started thinking of the worse.

................................................
Luke's p.o.v.

"When are you gonna tell her man?" Ashton asks me.

"I don't exactly know yet. I gotta find the right time." I sigh. I know if I tell Britt now she may never look at me the same way again.

"Well you need to tell her soon."Michael says.

"I know man."
