Luke's POV

I walk with Autumn into the mall and let her buy anything she wants from any store she wants. She sure can shop like a princess. Luke smirks at her fistful of shopping bags, filled with mainly movies and video games-and clothes. So many clothes. He laughed softly, making her look at him with confusion. He just shakes his head and smiles. She shrugs her shoulders and goes along her merry way.

2 hours later into the mall and I see Calum...No one else, just Calum. Where's Zoe and the boys??? I see Autumn notice him seconds after I do and before I can stop her she runs up and hugs him tight, squealing his name, "Calum! It's been so long! How are you? The other boys?-" They continue to ramble on and catch up before Calum shoos her away and motions for me. She glances at me confused and I just shake my head, telling her to go meet me at the food court. She agrees reluctantly and leaves me and Calum to talk about her birthday plans.

" Calum, where's Zoe? Why are you here instead? She was supposed to meet me here before getting the supplies..." I trail off.

"Well erm.." He clears his throat, " She and Ash are uh, catching up." Calum emphasizes on the catching up part and I know what he means. He and her had a real relationship a year ago but something happened and well I guess they still love each other? I don't know, doesn't matter. Good for them.

"Ah." Is all I say. Then he tells me he's going to go get decorations and a present for her and then set up the party. I nod and head off to the food court, dashing after my princess. My love. My world. My everything. My Autumn. I love her so much, now to prove it to her, while I still have time.

I see Autumn sitting at a table with a young, slim guy somewhere around my age. Commonly known as Nick Bean, artist and singer. He's flirting with Autumn, and she seems to be completely oblivious. Fuck. Get. Away. From. Her. "Hey, pretty boy! She's taken, mate." I yell/sneer at him from 20 feet away. He rolls his eyes and walks away. I run up to Autumn and wrap her in my arms as she stands up. "Autumn, hey, I love you. C'mon, let's go somewhere else. How bout...." He pauses to think, "...My house?" She grins and nods, and I rush home with her as fast as I can in order to beat Calum. I succeed. New plan, have her stay in my room until the party's all set up. We can play board games or truth or dare. Something like that. Nothing she's not comfortable with obviously. No matter what, I'm going to make sure she has a good day. An amazing one.

When we arrive home, I invite her into my room and tell her we have to stay in it for awhile while Calum sets up her surprise. She bugs me to tell her what we have planned, but I refuse. She lets it go.

We sit on my bedroom floor, and she notices the bloodstains, "What are those from...?" I don't have the strength to answer her in words, so I silently pull up my sleeves to reveal bright pink scars, still new and healing. She gasps and tears form in her eyes immediately, "Luke...I'm so sorry. Zoe told me I upset you but she didn't say this much...I'm so so sorry. I love you Luke. Not just out of pity but I mean it, I love every bit of you and I'm so sorry I made you do this.." Now she's in tears and I'm hugging her tightly, telling her it's alright and I love her too in the process.

"Autumn...I love you so much, and I'm sorry everything in your life has been fucked up, you shouldn't have to go through any of that. I never know when something bad may happen and that scares me, because things happen to you all the time and I can't do anything to fix it, all I can do is be there for you. But I promise I will always be there for you no matter what, because I love helping you; I want to be your knight in shining armor. My dear princess Autumn. I love you so so much. Will you be with me?" I finish sincerely. She cries again, this time with a smile, and agrees, hugging me tight as if I'm all that she's ever loved, and it's such an amazing feeling. Nothing can compare. I love being her all. I'll always give my all for her. Always.
