back to the start//l.r.h.

"Halloween is so close I can taste it, Lukey," Waverly whispers as I climb onto the bus. "But you know what else is close? Our five month anniversary," she grins and intertwines our fingers.

"Tomorrow. I have the day planned after we get out of school, babe," I say as I kiss the back of her hand.

"Aw, babe. I'm excited. Can we cuddle? Oh, and watch scary movies?" My girlfriend lights up like a Christmas tree when she thinks about anything Halloween-ish.

"Already one step ahead of you, Way."

At this point, Michael and Calum climb onto the bus and sit onto the seat next to us. They both glance at us and smirk, probably thinking we were being the "gross, too adorable couple" we usually are.

We all chat about our plans for a little while, leading up to Halloween. There's going to be a party at Michael's house, and practically everyone is invited. We all make plans to dress as superheroes and start to talk about what we're going to wear.

"Screw it, I can't think of an original character. I'll just be like Superwoman or something," Waverly groans, releasing my hand to wrap her arms around my waist.

"I've actually thought this through. I'm gonna wear red and my name is gonna be 'Mike-Ro-Wave'," Michael says, looking very proud of himself.

"Cal Pal! That sounds pretty cool, right? And I can wear green and yellow or something," Calum suddenly bursts, figuring out a name.

"I think I should wear black, I mean it's what I usually wear. And for a name, I don't know, Fluke? Dr. Fluke!" I come to the conclusion and we all high five. Except Waves, who is still clutching to my waist.

"You good babe?" I ask her, and she nods into my chest.

"I'm really tired, and cold. You're warm and snuggly, plus you're my boyfriend, so I have an excuse to cuddle you every chance I get," she states matter-of-factly.

She, however, is forced to let go when we arrive at the school, and we settle for walking into the school hand in hand.

"Happy five months!" Waverly and I both call at the same time once she walks onto the bus the following morning. A cute smile works its way onto her chubby cheeks, causing me to grin as well.

She sits down beside me, already giving me a big hug. "I love you so much, babe. Happy five months, oh my gosh I can't believe it's been this long!"

"Aw, babe, I love you even more I promise. And I know, it feels like we just started talking yesterday!" I say, giving her a kiss on the top of her head.

After spending the whole day being tortured by staying away from my girlfriend, we walk to a cute little pizza place about ten minutes from the school. We eat and talk, laughing at everything and nothing at the same time. That's one of the things I love most about her - no matter what we're talking about, we have a good time.

We then walk hand in hand to her house, giving her mother a quick greeting before retreating to the basement. There, we simply cuddle up and watch American Horror Story until we both fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to early sunlight leaking through the small window in Waverly's basement and instantly am hit with a wave of slight nausea. Did I really fall asleep and not wake back up? I slept at my girlfriend's house. My mom will literally kill me.

Waverly is sound asleep on the other couch, allowing me to gather my shoes and bag without waking her. I walk up the stairs with caution, waiting for Jaquelline to see me and explode. However, when I open the basement door, I see her sitting on the couch, sipping a mug of coffee.

"Hey, Luke! Did you sleep well?" Jaquelline asked, looking at me with a smile.

"Did I fall asleep here? And stay the night?" I wonder, still bewildered that I'm at Waverly's at 6 in the morning on a Saturday.

"Yeah, don't worry, I called your mom and she said it was okay. She didn't have the heart to wake you. I did have my husband move Waverly to the other couch, mainly for comfort for the two of you but also for my own peace of mind. I'm going to take you home when you're ready, but don't be in any rush. I don't have anything to do today and your mom told me you could stay as long as you want and as long as I'll allow, which is as long as you want," she says, clearing up my confusion as well as patting me on the shoulder. I thank her and accept her offer of a cup of coffee, walking back to the basement.
