Love Is Love No Matter the Conditions

This chapter's going to be really soppy because i'm listening to Biffy clyro as i'm writing and some of their songs are so beautiful!

I couldn't think of anything to say to that so I just kept looking at him trying desperatly to make my mind work out something to reply back. Thankfully he carried on,

"I don't know what it is but when I saw you yesterday I thought you were really cute and then I saw you during the show and I realised you were really passionate about the music and I liked you even more and when I saw you play I knew you were special. You play really well by the way and when you hugged me I felt sparks, and when I heard your voice backstage I knew I loved you" He stopped and waited for a reaction. I listened to him and was incredibly happy,

"Wow, Brian I've seen you play for so long and I've always admired you so much, when I saw you out of the bus window I couldn't believe my eyes. I think I love you too. No, I know I love you too." He looked in my eyes and started smiling. "You've done nothing but protect me since we met and I know what you mean when you say you feel sparks when we touch because I feel them too. We can work through the age gap, like you said, love is love, no matter the conditions and-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because he kissed me. He leant over so he could cup my cheek with his hand and I put mine just above his knee. We stayed there kissing for a few minutes until his phone started ringing but he continued kissing me, ignoring his phone. I reached into his shirt pocket where it was and answered,

"Hello?" It was Matt and he sounded really confused,

"Lucy? Where's Syn?" He sighed and took the phone from my hand, put it to his ear and said,

"Yeah? " I smiled and took his hands and put them on my knees and started watching the street performers. It was only 12pm but they had clearly been out for ages. Matt started talking again and Syn replied,

"Ok, where are you guys?" He listened to Matt for a minute or two and put the phone in his jeans pocket.

"They're coming to meet us, he said they were bored playing COD" I smiled and we settled down waiting for the band and the boys to turn up. I leaned on his shoulder because I was getting really cold. Why I had gone out in the middle of November in a sleevless top and leggings I don't think i'll ever know. I knew he was smiling and leant his head on mine, we waited for about ten minutes until a crowd could be heard and we both knew it was fans. Sure enough around the corner came a massive group of fans and you could just see Aaron's head in the middle of it. He was the tallest of us all and of course I was the shortest. The fans all saw us and ran over. Twenty minutes and countless autographs and pictures later they started leaving so we were waiting for the band to come back over, I looked up at Aaron, i'd stayed on the floor for the whole time and Aaron, Ben and Connor had stood up next to me.

"So, how was your fan encounter then?" I was grinning because he was very claustrophobic. He looked down at me and said,

"Hell." He had nothing against the fans it was just being in a huge group of them. Ben slunk off because him and this girl had been eyeing eachother up for a while so Connor asked,

"So. Are you and him together yet?" I thought about it and said,

"Well, the words haven't been uttered yet but I think they will be rather soon." Matt, Arin, Zacky, Johnny and Syn began walking over, Syn of course came to me and held out his hand to pull me up, I took it and he pulled. He pulled with way too much force and I fell into him, he grabbed me to stop me pushing him over but it was too late. We tumbled over and I landed on top of him, I looked down at him and he said,

"You know, you're a lot lighter than you look" I could feel myself blushing because I was lying on him in the middle of Convent Garden so I began getting up but he was still lying on the floor. I offered him my hand to get up, he took it but didn't pull too much because he knew we'd go over again. He got up and looked at us all. Johnny said,

"Where can we go for lunch? I'm starving!" I looked around to see if everyone else wanted food and they all nodded in agreement. I took Syn's hand and said "Follow me." We went around the corner to a small cafe that I knew from the last time I came to London and the nine of us piled in and began ordering food. I wasn't hungry so I just had a bottle of pepsi and they guys all had sandwhich's and a coffee. It was about half past twelve now and Zacky's phone rung, it was Larry and he said they had to go to soundcheck.

"So, where are you guys playing tonight?" Matt said,

"The o2" He had a massive grin on his face.

"Wow" Was all I said because I was rather impressed, they weren't a massive band over here and the o2 arena was a huge arena. We all made our way back to the bus getting stopped by a few fans on the way. We got back to the bus and clambered in but it was a short journey to the arena. I had just enough time to get changed into some jean, a v-neck and the new fake converse. I tried to help the guys unpack their cabs and stuff but they all assumed because I was little I wasn't strong enough and every time I went to pick something up some-one would appear and take it off me. Eventually I gave up and went back to the bus to speak to mum,

"Hello?" I said, I couldn't remember if she was still in work or not.

"Hello child! You alright?" I still hadn't decided if I was going to tell her about Syn yet so I just carried on the conversation.

"Yeah i'm good, you?"

"Yeah, so when were you planning on telling me you're going out with Syn?" Looks like the decision has been made for me.

"Right now actually, do you mind telling me how you know?"

"Some one was on Kerrang news this morning" I'd completly forgot they did that, it was news for the rock world basically, "There was a picture of you two last night coming out of the Cardiff arena looking rather cosy and they spoke to the fans who said 'yeah, they were really close last night' Oh well, at least I didn't have to tell her.

"Well yeah, we're close but we're not actually together mind, I really like him and he told me he felt the same just now"

"N'awww i'm so happy for you, isn't he a bit older than you though?" She didn't really have that much of an argument here, there was ten years between her and dad.

"Thanks, yeah he's thirty but it's like there isn't a gap at all"

"Ah, well i'll have to meet him soon I think. Enjoy yourself ok?"

I got up to make myself a cup of tea, when I was done I curled up in the corner of the sofa and we talked for a while about everything I missed yesturday. It was mostly about work but I knew all the people there so it was quite interesting. It was about 2pm now and they'd been in soundcheck for an hour and a half so they must nearly be done. Eventually mum said,

"I'll ring you later ok, i've got to go over nanas."

"I probably won't answer because i'm going to the arena with the guys later"

"Ok, well ring me when you get back to the bus. Bye, love you!!" I smiled because I knew she was waving, I always waved bye to people when I was on the phone.

"Ok I will. Love you!" I put down the phone on the worktop and went back over to the kettle and began making the sixth cup of tea of the day. I leant down to put the milk back in the fridge and went I straightned up I felt a pair of arms go around my waist making me jump. I heard a familiar laugh, looked down and saw that they were heavily tattooed with Marlboro across the knuckles. I put my arms around Syn's and felt his head on my shoulder.

"Where were you in soundcheck? I missed you"

"People seem to think i'm not strong and when I picked anything up someone did it for me and I got bored so I phoned my mum" I turned around to face him and put my arms around his neck. I'll admit it was a strech.

"It's because you're so little" He said pushing my hair out of my face and kissing my forehead. "Did you tell her about us?"

"She knew already, turns out Kerrang news already have the scoop and she saw it. She's fine with us though, she wants to meet you"

"Ah I see" He looked into my eyes and carried on "I'd love to meet your family" I smiled and streched up on my toes to kiss him, he wrapped his arms around me tightly pulling me closer to him. The kiss got deeper and he lifted me up on the worktop so I was sitting on it and finally taller than him. I was on the edge so I sat back, we continued kissing until I heard something fall over and felt something wet on the bum of my jeans. I broke away and looked around to see the tea I was making before Syn came in had fallen over and was seeping into my jeans. He looked behind me and when he realised he looked at me and I could see the laughter in his eyes.

"I'll be back in a minute, I think I should get changed" He smiled trying not to laugh and stood back letting me jump down. I got down and craned my head round to look at the damage, I had a charming patch of wet right on my bum. I looked at Syn and could see he was looking at it too. I picked up the bag from blue banana and rumaged through to find the purple pair of jeans, I turned around to see him cleaning up the tea spillage and went into the bathroom to get changed. I came back out to find him lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, I just stood there smiling at him until he opened his eyes and saw me watching him.

"I like purple on you" I looked down at my jeans and back at him and could see his eyes lift up to meet mine. He streched out one arm as if to say 'come here'. I went over and he took my hips and sat me down in between his legs and then putting them up like barrier around me. I leant one arm on his left leg and when he put his arms around my waist I held one of his hands. I leant my head back on his chest and relaxed. We both just sat there for a few minutes in silence.

"So are you going to watch the show tonight?" He said,

"Yeah of course!" I felt him begin to kiss my shoulders and I put my hand on his cheek.

"I really don't want to go home with-out you" I hadn't thought about that, I was enjoying being with him so much I didn't acknowledge the thought that he'd be leaving the country in six days. After that they were touring America for three weeks, it was a big gap and we only had this week off college.

"I don't want you to go either" I felt the kisses stop and he just leant his head on my shoulder, after a few moments he sat up, I leant forward and turned round so I could see his face.

"Come with us, on tour I mean" I sighed because he didn't know I had college and was already excited about that prospect.

"I have college, we've got a week off this week but on monday we have to go back." I instantly felt terrible because his face sank into obvious dissapointment. "I really want to come with you" I twisted my body so I was on my side and leant back on his chest, facing the prospect of leaving him was horrible and I needed to feel his arms around me, as if he could read my mind he put his arms around me and held me tight.
