Luke's POV
"That was wonderful Rose. You're a brilliant writer." An all too familiar British voice said from behind me. I felt my smile turn into a grimace as soon as I heard the voice. I didn't want to turn around to confirm what I already knew. Harry Styles was back.

"Harry! You made it in time!" Rose ran to him and gave him a hug. I felt a pang of jealousy but then pushed it away. She had picked me over him.

"I wouldn't have missed it love. Do you mind if I talk to Luke privately for a moment?" He asked her and then looked at me for approval.

"Just no funny business." He nodded and I followed him out into the hallway. Before I could make it to the hallway, Ashton grabbed me from behind and whispered into my ear.

"Please don't hit him again. I don't think we'll be able to get out of it as easily." I nodded and he let go of me so I could follow Harry. We were now standing in the hallway alone. I crossed my arms so that they wouldn't be free to hit him.

"I'm sorry." I just stared at him in shock for a minute. That's not what I expected him to say.

"Thank you for apologizing."

"That's not all I wanna say. I would like to explain if you'll let me." I thought about saying no but I was kind of curious how he would explain himself.

"Go ahead." I slid down to the floor and sat Indian style as he began his story.

"On our first tour with you guys, I was in a dark place. I had been getting a lot of negativity from the fans and the media. I let it drive me into a deep depression. Instead of handling it all the right way, I began to drink. I was drinking two full bottles of vodka by the middle of the tour. When I saw Rose, that's when I truly hit rock bottom. There is no excuse for what I did to her but that wasn't me or at least the me I am now or the me I want to be. After the incidence with her, I became violent. I tried to contact her multiple times but she never answered. I became angry at her for ignoring me. So when you guys came back for the tour with her and I saw you now had her, I became angry at you. I was the one who attacked you. When Rose came to me to try and make me stop, I knew it was my way to get her back. It wasn't until I saw how unhappy she was with me, that I started to see a therapist. I wanted her to stay with so I could win her over, show her that I had changed. But then she had the miscarriage and she wouldn't eat. It was when I found her cuts that I realized I couldn't help her, she needed to come home. She needed you. I'm sorry for everything, I wasn't thinking clearly. I understand if you hate me, you should but just know that I'm not after her anymore."

"You love her don't you?" He looked at me and smiled like he was expecting that.

"I did and part of me always will, but she's yours. No one will ever compare to you in her eyes. She loves you more than I thought possible up until a a couple weeks ago."

"You're in love with someone." It was weird to be having this conversation with him but it felt normal. I watched as his cheeks turned red and his eyes lit up. I knew that look well. I got the same look whenever I talked about Rose or anybody mentioned her.

"I don't know if I love her but I've never felt this way about anybody. It's only been a couple weeks but she makes me ridiculously happy." I smiled at this, glad he had found someone. I probably should be hoping that he would be miserable after everything he had put me through but everyone deserved to find someone and be happy.

"That's great. Hopefully I get to meet her someday."

"She's coming to visit tomorrow so you will." He smiled again just by talking about her.

"Well she should probably go back in there before they think we killed each other." He laughed at this and nodded.

"Thanks Luke." He patted me on the back. Most people would think I was insane for forgiving Harry but I didn't have it in me to hold a grudge even after everything he had done. I remembered how far gone he was back then, the Harry standing in front of me was a different person.

We walked back inside and everyone's head shot up to look at us. They all looked worried at first until they saw that neither of us were injured and we were both smiling. Rose got up and skipped over to us with a smile on her face. I guess she was happy to see that we didn't kill each other. Ashton was giving me thumbs up from where he was sitting on the floor. He looked relieved that I hadn't punched Harry again.

"You'll look awfully happy. Things went well talking to him." She asked while Harry went over to greet the other boys.

"Things went well. Everything is the way it's supposed to be now." I kissed her and she pulled away and smiled. Her blue eyes were full of light as she stared at me.

"Good. Now can we go eat, I'm starving." I smiled as she mention eating. Over the past month she had been getting back to her old self. She hasn't made a full recovery but she's been working on it. Both of us see a therapists once a week to try and work through everything that's happened.

"Yeah lets go." I grabbed her arm and she followed me as we walked out into the streets. She grasped my hand in her own as we walked to a small little pizza place. She looked so happy, as we walked hand in hand. I could barely keep my eyes off of her.

"So when are you guys supposed to leave on tour?" She asked as the waitress seated us and left to go grab our drinks.

"We have three more weeks in Australia then we head to the US. We have to be in LA for the VMA's but you can come with us." I smiled, excited for her to join us again on another tour. She didn't look happy though. She began to bit her lip which she only did when she was nervous.

"Actually, I just got a call this morning from my manager. Fifth Harmony wants me to tour with them." She look so excited but my heart sunk at the thought of her leaving.

"That's great! When would you leave?"

"Two days before you do and I'll meet you at the VMA's because Fifth Harmony is going to them. I'll come visit you whenever a have two free days. We'll make it work."

"Of course we will. I love you."

"I love you too. Now can we eat?" I looked down realizing that our pizza was already here. I nodded and she began to shovel it into her mouth. I ate mine slowly, my mind going crazy.

She would be leaving me again, I couldn't believe it. At least this time she would be with a group or girls. I could visit her on my days off too. She was right, we would make it work. I wasn't going to lose her again. I don't' think I could handle losing her again.

We finished eating and quickly paid so we could get back to the boys. We had a concert tomorrow and we had a lot to discuss. Rose grabbed me hand and began to sing to her self. It was the happiest I had seen her lately.

"What do you wanna do tonight?" I asked, remembering that Cal had invited to go see a movie. I just wanted to spend time with Rose, but it was up to her.

"Can we just hangout at your house and watch a movie? I don't really feel like going out." I smiled, thinking that she must've read my mind.

"That sounds perfect. I think mum and dad are going out so it will just be the two of us."

"Would momma Hemmings approve of the two of us being home alone?"

"Maybe if we didn't do it all the time, but we do." She laughed at this knowing I was right. We had been left alone at my house hundreds of time. That was before we were dating though so I wasn't sure how my mum felt about it now.

We headed back into the building, where I could here Ash banging on his drums like a made man. I heard Cal and Mikey playing too and there was singing going on. If you wanted to call it singing, it was more like screaming.

"What the hell is going on?" Rosie looked at me with a bemused look on her face.

"I have no idea and I'm kind of afraid to look." We went in anyway and the seen in front of us was rather funny. Rose burst out laughing and then the boys noticed us.

"LUKE'S BACK! COME JAM WITH US!" Niall screamed into the microphone.

All the boys had some sort of instrument and were dancing around playing. Harry had a tambourine, Liam was strumming a banjo, Zayn had maracas, Louis had a kazoo, Niall had his acoustic guitar and the 5sos boys were playing their actual instruments. Harry brought my guitar over to me and I joined in with them. Louis was grabbing Rose and trying to get her to join. He handed her bongos and she laughed while she played.

If anyone was listening, I'm sure we sounded quite awful. We were having a blast though, we kept playing until eventually they told us we had to leave.

"You're a really good bongo player, you should play those on stage." I teased Rose as we sat on my couch and got ready to watch a movie.

"Shut up. I get to pick the movie since you're picking on me." She stuck her tongue out and I laughed.

"Ugh fine." I sighed as she got up and picked a movie from the vast collection at my house. She stuck it in the player and came back over to me. The movie began to play and I sighed at what she had picked.

"Peter Pan! Seriously? We've seen this about a thousand times."

"It's my favorite!" She whined as she snuggled into my side. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me.

We were about ten second into the movie when she started to kiss me. She rolled over so she was on top of me. The kissing got deeper and then we were lying on the couch in our under wear.

"Maybe we should go upstairs?" I asked as she pulled away from me to catch her breathe.

"Yeah, good idea."

I lifted her up and carried her upstairs. I closed my door behind me and set her down gently on the bed. I was so thankful that nobody was home as I crawled on top of her.

We were never any good at being quiet.
