The week went by really fast. Exams were kinda hard but I studied a little bit more. Since, Kenzie spent the whole week in my house, we studied together. I really enjoyed having her around because I'm usually always bored alone. 

Luke and I are really okay. I'm so happy with him and we always go grab some coffee after school and hang out in the car by the beach. I don't regret having him as my official boyfriend and we couldn't stop planning what we're going to do in Sydney.

Ashton didn't really come into my section anymore, except when we had to present our project to Mrs. Grey and I couldn't stop glaring at him. He's always in his own bubble, being the usual Ashton again. Although Luke is still hanging out with Calum and the others, he doesn't really speak to Irwin that much. 

Kenzie and Michael are still ignoring each other. She's always whining about her heartbreak and Luke said that Michael misses Kenz too. They're just being somehow stubborn, but I deeply know that Mike only wants Kenzie back for his own needs. What a cocky asshole.

Here, we are Saturday again. 

Skylar and Kenzie were sprawled on my bed scrolling through their phones when I was making a huge mess in my room. I thought they would help me pack but they're being a pain in the ass. I had so many clothes and shoes all over my carpeted-floor, but only thing was packed. The dress for the wedding.

Couples days ago, Kenzie and I went shopping for a dress. I picked out a short black colored one with lace details all over the material inside and it's sleeveless. Simple yet very elegant. I already had black-healed wedges and I should be all good. 

After few hours of sorting out the outfits and stuff that I'm going to bring along, Skylar, Kenzie and I found ourselves in my car with take away tacos from Chipotle, because that's what we love doing on lazy nights, even though I have to get up early tomorrow to catch my flight. 

"So what are you gonna do, when the world don't orbit around you."  And of course, Paramore blasting from the speakers and we were singing our asses off with our mouths full of the heavenly delicious food. 

"Ain't it fun, living in the real world, ain't it good, being all alone." I sang out loud, and we started laughing at our goofiness. Everybody that walks by our car shot us the weirdest look because of our loudness. I mean, the car is parked in rather crowded parking. That was our jam for the rest of our meal until I started the engine to drop off Sky and Kenzie (yeah, she's going back home, because she doesn't have a choice, since I'm leaving.)

"Sky! You listen to Twenty One Pilots!" Kenzie gushed from the passenger seat looking over at the grinning girl behind me. Basically we were plugging Skylar's phone to the car system and we're jamming to her playlist until Ride by TOP. One of our favorite bands, Kenzie and I. 

"Oh, oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride,"  We sang loudly and I drummed my fingers on the steering-wheel following the sick beat of the song. I really adore Josh, their drummer. He's so cool.

"Oh, I'm falling, so I'm taking my time on my ride, taking my time on my ride."  I sang letting the cold air hit my skin and I've never felt this free in my whole life. I always love these times with my friends when we only drive and enjoy the songs on our playlist. To be honest, I've always liked listening to music in the car. It makes me capture the moments clearly. I love listening to my favorite songs watching the scenery change every time the car drive further. 

But our jam soon ended when I pulled to Skylar's house. She gave Kenzie a hug even though, they are still in the car and then, I gave her a hug too. I'm going to miss her.

"Have fun and use protection!" I smacked her arm, a blush clear on my cheeks and she grabbed her stuff before getting out of the car. "Night, safe trip!" We said our final good-bye and I drove to my next and final stop. I could see that she's nervous about going back to her house but she doesn't have a chance and after all, it's where she belongs.

"Okay, so, I'm going to miss you bitch." I said once I got out of the car to walk her to give her a proper hug. "I'm going to miss you too, dumbass. Snapchat me everyday, alright?"

"Don't worry, and be nice to your fam." I hugged her tightly and she gave me a kiss on the cheek letting go of me. We said a final good bye before I drove to my home finally to sleep for a little bit before my flight.

The next morning, I got up at around 6 AM and I was sleepy as fuck. I showered and put on black leggings, my favorite black Arctic Monkeys shirt and I tied my red and black flannel around my waist, I grabbed a black hoodie in case it gets colder and finally black Nike shoes.

After I said bye to my mother in the airport, we went through security, checked our boarding passes and finally we were in the airplane. My heart was beating so loud that I could feel it in my ears because this is my first time going on a plane without my family and also, I was excited too. 

"We're about to take over." The pilot said through the speaker and a rush of panic hit me making me grip Luke's hand tightly. He leaned it and kissed my cheek giving my hand a squeeze as the plane took over and I could see all the city from the window (thanks to luke he let me get the window seat).

"Lauren, you're okay sweetheart?" Liz asked flashing me a warm smile, I nodded returning the gesture. "Yeah, thanks." 

I looked over at the clouds and the open sky. It was such a good place to relax. When I looked at the beautiful and peaceful scenery, I just forgot about everything. Imagine how good it would be to live here. I won't have my family pushing me to be successful like them, and when I mean successful, I directly mean, money and business. I won't have someone like Ashton Irwin haunting me everyday and making my life more difficult than it should be. 

Ashton.

That person isn't possible to understand how his brain works. He's someone with two personalities and he can swap them in a matter of two seconds. Even if I'm now with Luke and that's what I wanted whatsoever, but, Ashton is always something odd in the bottom of my heart.

I can't forget the feelings that he had hidden in his deep green iris when he was confessing how hurt he was and how hopelessly in love he is with me. In fact, when he picked a fight in Jacob's house, his words hit me harder that the previous times, because, I believed that he is really in love with me. I felt once again betrayed and fooled. I regret forgiving him so much. It's one of the stupidest things that I've ever done in my whole life.

Everyone was right about him. Kenzie's words couldn't stop playing in my head, she warned me a lot about him but I didn't listen to her. Although, I doubted that she's hiding something, I should've listened to her, because I'm supposed to trust her. She wouldn't betray me too.

The word 'slut' coming from Ashton's mouth was harsher than any other time before. It was full of hatred and anger. I can still listen to his curses and profanities when he was hitting Luke like he is his worst nightmare. However, Luke is really his worst nightmare. 

Luke is someone new and mysterious to everyone, even for me. I could tell how every single person in our school wanted to get to know him. Boys and Girls. He got a very odd attention and I'm still surprised how he didn't get his head up in the clouds and took advantage of the whole popularity thing. I love how humble he is. It's one of his best qualities. 

I slowly found myself drifting to sleep. I guess looking at the sky and thinking got me so sleepy. I put my head on Luke's shoulder, but he opened his arm so, I can snuggle to his chest. I smiled next to the warm and safe embrace and soon after, I drifted to sleep.
