Luke's POV
We sat on the bus, getting the list ready for the tour. So far, we had Fix My Eyes, Shoulders, Fine Fine Life, Proof Of Your Love, To The Dreamers, Run Wild, It's Not Over Yet, Matter, Priceless, and O God Forgive Us.

"One more....that's all we need, is one more. What about Hold On To Me?" Joel asked.
"Nah. I think Luke should pick this one. He's been silent. Luke? Which one are we doing?" I looked up, my answer having been stuck in my head for two weeks.
"If you all are okay with it, I want to do Love's To Blame, for Becki." Blake nodded slowly.
"I like that idea. All in favor?" Every hand on the bus went up, and Blake nodded again.
"Love's To Blame it is, then." I nodded slowly, refusing to look up. None of them knew I had given her up. Everyone thought she had been taken from us, and I didn't know how to tell them. I went to the back lounge, staring at the picture of me and her I had as my phone background. Courtney had suggested it, and we all loved it as soon as we saw it. She had a white, flowy ankle length dress on, with a jean jacket. I had on a light blue shirt and jeans, and we were both barefoot. We were standing together, like we were dancing, but her head was on my chest, facing the camera, and her eyes were closed. At the least second, I had kissed the top of her head, and that was caught in the picture. I didn't even realize I was crying until a tear dripped onto the screen. I quickly wiped it away, and then saw Joel standing there.

"You wish you could get her back, don't you?" I sighed, looking him in the eyes.
"I wish I hadn't let her go. I agreed to let her go to her aunt and uncle, and now....I would give anything to have her back. She said something to me the day she left, and that was why I chose Love's To Blame." He sat down beside me, slightly confused.
"What did she say?" I closed my eyes, remembering that day.

"Well.....I guess this is goodbye." She said, looking down. I smiled weakly.
"For now. We're doing a show there in a couple months. Maybe you could make it to that." She forced a smile.
"Yeah. Maybe." She said her goodbyes to the boys and Courtney, and then I hugged her.
"I said goodbye, but I love you." She whispered.

I opened my eyes, finding tears pouring down my cheeks, and Joel looking very worried.

"I said goodbye, but I love you." I whispered, and he blinked back tears.
"So that's why. Luke, we'll see her in a couple weeks. Maybe you can talk to her then." I sighed, and he stood, leaving.
"Yeah. Maybe." I whispered.
"If she doesn't completely hate me by now. I wouldn't blame her if she did, though." I lay on the bed, allowing the tears to come. I had to be the worst father in the world. I couldn't even tell that my foster daughter loved me. How could I have been such an idiot? Now....I didn't want to live without my sweet girl.

Hello! Sorry it's so short. I'll try to update again this weekend. And I will say that this book will be maybe 12, 13 chapters tops. There probably will not be a sequel....sorry. Thanks for reading!- Becki Lynne
