a/n: guys, this is my favorite chapter ever, so please tell me what you think! I wrote it with so much love I don't even know mfdkfkdk enjoy your reading!

*Laurel's P.O.V*
Luke drives with a smile on his face, our hands together on top of my bare thigh. I'm wearing one of his flannel shirts, colored blue just like my new necklace.

My boyfriend - Gosh, I love the way this word comes out of my mouth - refuses to tell me where exactly we are going. But he did make a weird question yesterday when we went to bed.

"Do you like sunflowers?" He asked while curling my hair on his fingers, like he always does.

"It's actually my favorite flower." I replied, making circles on his chest with my fingertip. "Why?"

"Nothing special" He shrugged.

I suspect he's going to give me a bouquet of sunflowers but nothing so far. The radio is on and there are only love songs playing.

Isn't it weird how they start making complete sense when you associate them to the person you're in love with? I always found it amazing.

"Luke, how far are we going? I've only got a few clothes on my bag" I look back, Sydney vanished.

"Chill, we're staying out for three days max. I promise you it's gonna be worth it."

When I turn to the backseat I see a guitar.

"I didn't know you brought your guitar home"

"It stays here in Sydney. It was actually my first one." He smiles. "The others are back in LA"

The combination for this trip is getting even more interesting. Some place outside the city, plus guitar, plus Luke, plus perfect weather.

Luke drives for about 4 hours more until we get to another city.

"Quirindi?" I inquire as we get to this very cozy small town.

"Yup. Are you tired from the trip?" Luke asks.

"Not really, I'm all right. Why?"

"I want to take you somewhere. As soon as possible."

Luke first takes us to a hotel so we can put our bags on it. In less than 40 minutes we're back in the car. He places a band on my eyes when we stop.

"Just hold my hand" He says, kissing my lips softly.

Luke walks ahead of me and I clumsily follow him, curious to death. He stops to talk to some people but then we resume our walk for two minutes before stopping again.

Luke gasps, nervously.

"Ready?" He takes off the band and there's an incredible field of sunflowers in front of me.

And again, I'm speechless.

There are sunflowers everywhere, as far as the eye can see.

And it's so goddamn fucking perfect.

"Luke, this is-" I cover my mouth with my hands, feeling tears of joy forming in my eyes. "This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life."

"I thought you'd like it" He smiles tenderly at me, connecting our lips for a moment before pulling me by the hand. "Come on!"

We start running between the thousands of lines of sunflowers. I take my phone and take a picture of Luke running in front of me, his guitar hanging on his back.

Luke drops his guitar on a clearing in the middle of the field and grabs my waist, spinning me around in the air.

There's not even words to describe how I'm feeling right now.

I kiss his entire face dozens of times and wrap myself around him, unable to let him go.

"You're all I never knew I needed" I whisper against his chest. Luke kisses my head.

"You're more than I've ever thought you'd be." He replies.

We sit on the ground and Luke gets his guitar. He starts singing Simple As This, by Jake Bugg and I simply rest my head on my knees, admiring his beautiful figure and listening to his angelic voice.

"I've been falling, crashing, breaking all the while you were stood here waiting for me, girl" He sings glancing at me and I blush.

When he finishes this one he immediately starts One Call Away, by Charlie Puth.

"I'm only one call away. And when you're weak I'll be strong, I'm gonna keep holding on..."

While he sings I realize that this song is basically everything I wanted to be for him. When he called me to talk about his day, things that pissed him off, things he found funny; when he was sad or when he was happy. I was always one call away.

Right after that he begins Wherever You Are and I need all my strength not to burst in tears in front of him. I never thought Luke Hemmings himself would someday sing this song just for me.

My fellow friend, can you imagine how speechless and happy I am right now?

"Why are you so amazing?" I cry. "Look at what you've done!"

"Which reminds me of another song" He chuckles and begins singing Beautiful Goodbye, by Maroon 5 and I whine.

I fucking love this song. And I know Luke does to.

"And I can't take it, you're even perfect when you cry, beautiful goodbye it's dripping from your eyes..." He sings smiling at me, and instead of stop crying I end up sobbing.

As I follow the lyrics I end up thinking of Sean, and note how well it describes my situation. I remembered the day I cried on Luke's room and told him everything about Sean and my terrible experience. And he literally kissed my tears goodnight.

"All the pain you tried to hide shows through your mascara lines, as they stream down from your eyes. And let them go, let them fly; holding back won't turn back time, believe me, I've tried" His smile softens and he closes his eyes.

When he's over I simply stay there, looking at him. He breathes deeply, his gaze on the ground. And then he turns to me, pleading eyes.

I quickly crawl to him and jump on his lap, attaching our lips.

Luke lays down carrying me with him. I doubt I've ever kissed someone with this level of passion before. It feels like everything I need right now is Luke. Luke, Luke, Luke. It's all I've been thinking about for about three months. I'm afraid that if I pull away he might disappear, or I might wake up and find out it was only just a dream. I'm worried about not being good enough for this angel on earth. How could someone even dare to hurt him or let him down like he told me several times they have?

There's a knot forming in my throat, something I want - better, need - to say.

I pull away and watch as Luke's lips curve into a smile, and he's passionately looking at me. I close my eyes for a moment and hesitantly let it go.

"I love you."

Luke's smile fades away and he sits us up. I look to the ground, embarrassed. He grabs my chin and forces me to gaze into his bright blue eyes.

"Say it again" He commands.

"I love you" I say, more firmly this time. The smile reappears on his face and he kisses me deeply, bringing me to his lap.

"So does it mean you trust me?" Luke's got a look of expectation.

I grin and kiss the tip of his nose, running my fingertips over the edges of his mouth.

"With my life."
