Chapter 22
Christina's POV
What the hell did he just do? Did he call me his girlfriend? In front of real people? Where the hell was this going? I had no idea of what he was doing.
"Oh, I'm Jamie, her dancepartner", Jamie said to Luke.
I could smell the testosteron in the air. This was a showdown. About me. When did this happen? People never fought over me.. No one even noticed me and now two boys were trying to get my attention. But only one of them had my full attention. Luke didn't even have to try. He always caught my attention. Whatever he did, it was amazing. Jamie was amazing too, but not in that way. Luke was allconsuming. Whenever he was in the room everything else started to fade. I could not see past his blue eyes and perfect hair and of course that smile of his. He drove me crazy.
Everyone was still staring at us. And I realised the boys were staring at me too. It was quite the sight.
"Ehm, I think we should go", I told Luke, to get rid of the tension.
"That's a good idea, the boys are waiting for us", he told me with a smile.
We started leaving but I was stopped by a girl. I turned around and stared into the blue eyes of Rachel.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked me politely.
I had no idea what this was going to be about.
"Yea," I told her. "I'll be back in a few", I told Luke.
He winked at me and said: "I'll be waiting in the car."
He took off and Rachel pulled me aside.
"I need to talk to you", she told me.
"Okay, what's this about?"
"Well, it's hard for me to say this.." she told me.

Luke's POV
I walked over to the car and someone had followed me out. I thought it was Chris who couldn't be without me. When I turned around with a big smile on my face I saw it wasn't her. It was that guy, Jamie. I hated that guy. He got to touch Christina and I hated seeing that. I should be the only one touching her. She was, after all, mine. What the hell was I thinking when I said I was her boyfriend. I had made if official so soon. And I was leaving tonight. This was odd, even for me.
"We need to talk", Jamie told me with a serious voice.
"So talk?" I told him back.
"If you hurt a hair on Chris' head, I'll find you and your boyband and I'll make you suffer", he told me.
He called us a boyband. That was it. Now I really hated this guy. And who the hell was he to tell me I couldn't go hurting Chris? He was just her dancepartner.
"You can't tell me what to do. But I never had the intention to hurt her", I reassured him. And I put an eyeroll in it too.
"I mean it, I will find you."
"Yeah whatever. I don't need this from you."
I walked on and got into my car. I hated that guy so much.Once I got in there I looked around some more. I waited for Christina to come back to me any moment now. I wanted her here. I toyed around with the radio for a bit and then I saw her coming in to view. She was bringing someone to the car. It looked like the girl I saw her with inside. I thought she said her name was Rachel.
"Is it okay if I bring Rachel along?" she asked me with a little smile.
I could see something was up, but I wasn't going to call her out right here. I would ask her later when we were alone. Not that we had a lot of time left.
"Yea, sure it is!" I told her and gave her a big smile.
They got into my car and I drove off to the venue once again. The guys really wanted to see Chris again. They missed her because she was so funny and down to earth. She was a keeper they'd said to me. I knew she was. I liked her too much to let her go. I listened to Rachel and Christina talking the whole way. I was biting my lip ring too. I always did that when I was thinking and when I didn't really feel comfortable. I hardly felt comfortable with people I just met. Except for Christina. She made me feel right at home. I pulled into the parking lot behind the venue and we got out. After Chris had left earlier we had gone out to meet the fans. Chris told me they were waiting for us and we really wanted to see them. After taking pictures with them and talking to them I felt so much better. Fans were everything and Chris knew that.
We got out of the car and walked over to the back door. The guys must have heard us pull up because they were already waiting.
"What the hell took you so long?" Ashton asked me.
"Sorry, there was some traffic and stuff" I told him.
But he wasn't listening anymore. He was looking past us to the girl standing in the door. He was looking at Rachel with a big smile on his face. She was looking at him too with a shy smile.
"And who are you?" he asked her politely.
"I'm Rachel, Christina's .. ehm, friend", she said.
"Hi, I'm Ashton." He pulled out his hand and shook hers.
"I know!" she almost shouted.
"A fan, I presume?"
"Yeah! A big one! Sorry.."
"For what?"
"For coming on so strong.."
"Come, let's talk some more over there", Ash said and they walked over to a room with a couch.
"That went well", Chris said.
Michael and Calum realised the show with Ash and Rachel was over so they turned their attention back to Chris. They both hugged her really tightly. She seemed to be relieved. And happy.
"I'm gonna miss you guys so much.." She told them.
"We're gonna miss you too!" Michael screamed.
He was always so emotional. But he really liked Christina a lot. They seemed to get a long quite well. I loved that. I could never be with a girl who the guys didn't like.
"Come one! Let's go find Sarah!" Chris shouted and Calum rolled his eyes.
"She's so annoying!!" he shouted.
"I think you have a crush on her!" Chris teased him.
"Whatever.." Calum said and stalked off.
"I should go check on him", I told Chris and went after him.

Christina's POV
"So it's just us then.." Michael said to me.
"Yeah, man, I am going to miss you all so much.." I told him with tears in my eyes.
He got closer to me and hugged me.
"It's going to be alright.." he told me in a soothing voice.
I cried and just hugged him while Luke was chasing after Calum.
"It's just so hard. You guys are leaving and I have so many issues to sort through.. I don't think I can get through it without you guys. I mean I just found out I was adopted, my real family wants to meet with me, I have to sing at this dance thing I have, I have finals coming up and I just met my sister.." I blurted it all out.
"You just what?" he asked me.
Then Luke came back into view and I let go of Mikey. I whiped away my tears and put on a happy face for him. This was our last night together in a long time and he deserved to leave and be happy instead of wondering what was happening to me. He didn't have to put up with any more of the crap that was going on in my life. He was having the time of his life now. He was a rockstar who deserved to do everything he wanted without being held back. I really liked him, but that could not hold him back. I could never be that selfish. He knew that. I would do anything for him. He had been my world for so long. Even before I met him. It was time to make a life of my own and he would do the same. I'm not saying we were going to break up, but we would have to take some space. And the space from here to L.A. was big so.. It would all be alright in the end. I knew it would be. I had never ever felt better than I did with Luke. And that's why I knew everything was going to be alright.
He got closer and pulled me in for a kiss. I loved it when he did that. I could feel his cool lip ring on mine and just melted right in to the kiss. His arms slid around my waist and pulled me closer. I put my arms around his neck and pulled myself up. It was amazing how good he was at this. I knew he would be a great kisser, but I never could've imagined him being this good. My whole body felt the kiss. The warmth he gave me was heartbreaking. I knew he was going to break my heart. And the love I felt for him was so overwhelming I could not breathe without him anymore. This kiss made that all clear.
He let me go and I looked him in the eyes. His eyes said everything. Those big blue eyes were now darker and had the most loving look in them. Like he was seeing me for the fist time and falling in love. It's the kind of look that is described in books. The look every girl wants but not all get. The look I have been dreaming of since I was a little girl. And now Luke Hemmings was giving me that exact look. I was beyond happy. I was amazed by how much looks could say. I wished I knew what my eyes were saying at that moment. I hoped they were saying something like: 'I love you' or 'You are my everything'.
He let go of me and that's when I heard Michael.
"You two should really get a room.." he told us and stalked off.
"How were things with Cal?" I asked Luke with a hoarse voice.
"He's just frustrated with Sarah. He really likes her I think but she gets on his nerves so much.. And the fact we're leaving tonight doesn't help a lot either.." he tells me with a weak smile.
I knew he was hurting because he was leaving tonight. But I was too. We had to get past this and make this last night last forever. I had the perfect idea of what we had to do. But first I had to tell him something. He needed to know what happened in the dance studio with Rachel. He had to know what she said to me.
"We need to have a talk", I said to him in a weak voice.
"Yea, I know", he replied, averting his eyes to the ground.
I hated when he did that because it showed he did not have that much confidence as he should have. He's an amazing guy and should not be doubting himself for one second. But that was Luke. I wanted to make him see how great he was. How much he meant to me. How much I needed him to be there. How much I needed us to be together. These feeling were going to kill me in the end. They were going to be the end of me. But I would not trade that for anything else. These past few weeks were the best of my life. And that was all because of him. He was what I needed.
"Rachel is my biological sister.." I told him.
