Name Game // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 6

The guy that had grabbed me was still holding onto me. I tried so hard to get away, but it was no use. Luke was on the other side of the room, still tending to his foot. It was bleeding really bad, I honestly don't know how he hadn't passed out yet.

Brad walked over to Luke, and pointed the gun to his head. Luke slowly looked up at Brad. I went to scream out but the guy that held me wrapped his hand around my mouth, making my scream come out as a mumble. Brad looked up at me and laughed.

"So you don't want him to die?" I swallowed hard and shook my head.

"Alright, well follow me." He took the gun off Luke and pointed it towards me and slowly made his way to me.

"Don't," Luke said sternly. Brad stopped in his steps.

"What was that?" He turned around to face Luke.

"You heard me, you won't do shit. Because you know if you do, your whole gang is dead."

"You don't think I will do anything because your gang will kill me, huh? Well may I ask, where is your gang right now? They didn't stick around when their leader got shot did they? They all left, they're all probably at home right now not giving a fuck about what's wrong with you." Brad scoffed.

"Actually, I know exactly where they are. You see while you had your head up your ass we were planning shit. We are going to take your gang down one by one. And you know how to get rid of a gang? You get rid of the leader." Luke said with a smirk.

"You know, that's really funny... We were actually thinking the same thing." Just as he said that he raised his gun, and aimed it at Luke's head. And with no warning, he pulled the trigger.

I started screaming as loud as I could so that maybe someone could hear me. Did he really just shoot him? The man finally let go of my mouth and I let it all out.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that??" I got out of his grip and I ran over to Luke's lifeless body on the ground. I couldn't help but to cry, I just sat there right next to his body and cried.

"Chloe? Chloe!! Wake up!" I was woken by Luke shaking my shoulders. I was sitting in the back of a van, where Luke was right next to me.

"Are you okay? You just started randomly screaming..." He asked looking confused.

"Umm, I.. It.. I'm sorry, it was nothing." I stuttered.

"You can tell me what happened." He said barely above a whisper in my ear. It sent chills down my spine.

"You're staying with us tonight. Your mom thinks you're at Chelsea's." I just shook my head and looked out the window.

They started having a conversation about something different. The dream felt so real. How did we even escape?

Once we arrived to their house, Luke walked me to my room. I knew I wouldn't sleep at all tonight because of the events that just took place. Once we got to the room I took a seat on the bed.

"If you need anything I'm in the room right next to you," Luke finally got out.

"I know, I've stayed here before." I laughed and he joined in.

"Listen, Chloe... I'm really sorry. About everything, you've been hurt the most in these few days then you probably ever have. I don't know how you got put into all this but I keep telling myself it's my fault. They think I'm going to get attached to you or some shit. Which they should know is not true, I don't believe in commitment. I'm more of a one night stand kind of guy," he laughed trying to lighten the mood.

"It's not your fault." I looked up at him and smiled.

I went to my room and sat down on the bed, I heard my phone vibrate on the night stand so I got up and got it.

Unknown:
"Hey! It's Jacob."

Me:
"Hey!"

Unknown:
"So, I was wondering. Since we're basically best friends now, would you like to go to a party with me this Friday?"

Me:
"Sounds great!"

Jacob was really sweet, he makes me forget about everything that has been happening lately. He just makes me in a good mood. I fell asleep with no problem that night, and it felt great.

I woke up to the smell of burnt bacon and eggs. I got up, put some pants on, because let's be honest who sleeps with pants? And went down stairs.

"Hey Chloe, we tried to be a normal family and make you breakfast. But, we're not normal nor do we know how to cook sooo have some under cooked eggs and burnt bacon!" Calum said laughing handing me a plate. I noticed Luke or Ashton wasn't home, it was just Calum, Michael, Austin, and Ryan.

"Where's Luke and Ashton?" I asked trying not to sound too concerned.

"They went to the gym, they've been gone for like 2 hours now. They should be home soon," he looked at the clock.

The meal was absolutely disgusting, so I didn't eat much of it. I tried to not make it obvious and just say I wasn't a morning person, which is true.

All of a sudden I heard the door slam open, and Ashton and Luke running in looking happier than I've ever seen them. They were really sweaty and they were both wearing muscle shirts and gym shorts which they looked extremely attractive in.

"Guess who is getting laid tonight?" Luke yelled showing the guys a piece of paper with a number on it. I don't think he realized I was still here. Probably because I never stay this long at his house.

"This bitch at the gym, hot as fuck may I add, gave me her number. We're doing something toni-" he looked over to see me sitting there. "Oh hey, I didn't expect you to still be here. Thought you would've ditched by now." I could hear the smart ass tone in his voice.

"No, Calum made me some breakfast so I stayed and ate. But, I should be going soon I also have a date tonight." I smirked as I stood up.

"With who?" Luke asked stopping me from where I was going.

"And what does it matter to you?"

"I need to know who it is so you don't get yourself into trouble," he said as he followed where I was walking.

"I'm going with Jacob Phillips," I said turning around fast making him run into me.

"I don't like that kid, he's out to get one thing and one thing only."

"Oh, and you're not??" I laughed, is he serious? Did he not remember the little speech he just gave in the kitchen?

"I'm saying I don't like him for you." he sounded like he was actually concerned.

"Well have fun on your date, or hook up, or whatever you wanna call yours," I said as I turned around walking upstairs to grab my bag.

When I came out he was in the exact same spot from where I left. "Can you take me home?" I said walking past him.

"Text me everything you're doing tonight, okay?"

"Why?" I asked.

"Just do it." He sounded like he was getting annoyed so I just nodded and walked to the car.
