The Other Grande

Chapter 20

On December 22nd, I'm finally released from the hospital but I'm on doctors orders to eat a bit more each day. I'm supposed to go back to the hospital in a month. This morning, Ariana came back to the hospital with a bag of clothes for me and, after I shower, I get dressed in the black leggings, black UGG boots, neon pink tank top and pink sweatshirt. After I dry and brush through my hair, putting it up in a high ponytail, we get all the paperwork and leave the hospital, going home.
I go straight to my room when I get home and take off my boots, laying in bed and pulling the covers up to my chest and I slowly drift to sleep.

I wake up around 4 hours later to someone playing guitar and I get up to see Luke sitting on the stairs playing guitar, then he starts singing

"Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got my red Vans on tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Done my hair up real big beauty queen style
Trainers off, I'm feeling alive

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-s-summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

"Wow" I whisper and he jumps, obviously not knowing I was listening to him singing "did I wake you?" I nod "sorry!" "Don't be, you can sing really good!" I exclaim and he smiles "thanks, princess" he says and I suddenly feel the urge to kiss him; so I do.

When I kiss Luke, it feels like fireworks are going off and I get this rush of excitement and adrenaline go through me. I started remembering things, like on my 18th birthday when Luke gave me a box with a note in it and the note said for me to check yes or no if I'd be his girlfriend, then he told everyone it's his shopping list and gave me another paper that was a never-expiring coupon for free hugs, cuddles, and kisses whenever I want. Or for our 6 month anniversary date, we went to the beach and he told me everything he loved about me. Then, we went to the park for a picnic and afterwards, it started raining. When the rain stopped, we went back to his house and I gave him I virginity.
How a couple months afterwards, I'd become worried that I was pregnant then I got my period and became relieved.
All the memories came flooding back all because of that one little loving, passionate, lustful kiss.
