You Don't Know Me (Punk Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 56: New Life Chapter

*LUKE'S POV*

I wake up to the sound of someone banging on the door. It's 5am and it's still dark outside. I walk to the door and open them. "Please tell me she's in here" he starts immediately. "What?" I ask him. "Where's Lacey?" he asks. "I don't know, probably she's with her parents" I answer him. "She's not with them. They thought she's with me but she wasn't, so I thought she's with you. I thought she came back here" he says. "Wait, what exactly happened?" I ask him because I got lost in his words. "Well, she said she needs a fresh air and walked out of the hospital, but she didn't come back, so I thought she came back here and I left. But her parents called me like 15 minutes ago if she's with me because she doesn't pick up her phone, so that's why I'm here" he tells me. "I thought she was with her parents, that she doesn't want to come back here" I say and immediately dial her number. "She's not picking up" I say. "Yeah, I know, I just told you this" he says. "We have to find her" I tell him and grab my car keys. "Yeah, but she could be anywhere, where exactly do you want to look for her?" he asks. "I don't know, I just want to find her" I say and my phone starts ringing. "Yeah?" I pick it up.

I'm starting to hate hospitals. I'm spending here too much time in the past few months. I want to ask someone where she is, but her parents just walk out from one of the rooms. "Luke" her mum speaks to me. "How is she?" I ask her. "Why don't you go in there? She's awake" her dad tells me and I walk into the room. "Hey, how do you feel?" I ask her. "Hi, my head hurts, but beside that, I'm fine" she says. "You remember me, right?" I ask her and she smiles. "Yeah, I do" she says but then she turns her head to the window. "Hey, what's wrong? Look, I know we're going through really rough time, but we can make it through, like all the times we did before" I tell her.

*LACEY'S POV*

"I know, I just" I say. "What? You can tell me" he says. "I'm just really tired" I smile at him. Fake smile obviously. "Okay, so I'll come back later" he says and I nod. He stands up and leaves. I should die. I can't lie to him anymore. I wish he just leave me and find someone better than me. Someone who's going to love him so much like he deserves to. He doesn't deserve liar like me. I don't even want him to come back. I know we will meet again at least once. He said he will come back, which is tomorrow, but then there's a funeral. I have to say goodbye to my little angel. I wish I could tell him, he deserves to know. I know he's going to be pissed off and he will probably say he doesn't want to see me again and I would definitely understand that. The problem is, he's already hurt, I can't hurt him even more. I should rather die.

I wake up to the sound of slamming door. I quickly turn around and see him standing there. "Hey, sorry, I didn't want to wake you up" he says and coming closer to me. I don't even have any idea when I fell asleep. I don't even know how long I've been sleeping. "But you did" I tell him. "Sorry" he says and smile. "I forgive you" I say and immediately think that he's not going to forgive me. "I was talking to the doctor and he said you can go home tomorrow's morning" he says and I nod. "Tomorrow's the funeral. My parents arranged everything what was necessary" he says and I nod again.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Was Daniel here?" I ask her. "No, why?" she shakes her head. "I'm just asking" I tell her and shrug. I don't know what else I should say. I'm kind of happy that he wasn't here, that he didn't visit her. I know that few days ago I just told myself I will never give up on her. That I won't let anyone to take her away from me. But the way how she was looking at him just make me realize I was wrong. She doesn't love me. I know that there has to be some reason why she was with me. She knew I loved her and that I still do. How long is this going on? How could I didn't realize her feelings for me faded away? If I would realize that sooner I could save us. I think I still can do this, but I'm not sure if it will worth. I mean, I'm leaving in three weeks for six months. I'll barely see her. I don't know what to do.

I walk into the apartment. I look around and then I start to pack my stuff. I'm tired of fighting for her and being the only one who loves. I know that she likes me, but it's just, it's not what it was before. I know she would agree with me. I put my stuff into the boxes and in the evening almost everything is packed. Just things I will use are around. I know she will move back in to her parents' house as well, so I guess I'll sell the apartment. I don't know.

*LACEY'S POV*

Last 24 hours went so fast. My parents brought me some clothes to the hospital and right from there we went to the funeral of my little baby girl. I'm standing on the cemetery and looking at how strange people put a small coffin into the grave. When it's finally over I can't stop crying. I know she's probably on the better place now and that nothing will never hurt her. She's a real angel, sleeping in a peace now. This cruel world can't hurt her, never.

Luke unlocks the door and I walk into the apartment right behind him. The first thing which catch my attention are boxes next to the wall. "What is this?" I ask him. "That's my stuff. I was thinking about this and I'm moving back to my parents' house and I think you should too. Like to your parents not mine" he says and I nod. I'm not even surprised. "So, this is how it all ends?" I ask him. "I guess so" he says and nods. "So, if this is the end, I should tell you something" I tell him and he raises his eyebrow. "If you want to tell me you don't have any feelings for me anymore, you don't have to. I already know" he says and I nod. "It's something else and I'm really sorry about it. I just shouldn't do it, I know it now. I don't even know why I did it, but... okay, basically, I lied to you" I tell him and wait for his reaction. "Lied in what?" he asks. I take a deep breath "I never had an amnesia." "Wait, what? But..." he doesn't finish. "Yes, I was pretending that I don't remember you. I can't explain why I did it, I just, I know it was the most stupid idea I ever had, I'm so sorry" I tell him and wait for his reaction.

*LUKE'S POV*

"Come here" I tell her and reach my hand for her. When I can reach her I pull her closer to me. "That wasn't really nice of you" I tell her. "I know, I told you I'm sorry" she says. "I know you are" I say. "Wait, you're not mad?" she asks. "No, I'm not mad. I did so many bad things to you before and you always gave me another chance. We're all doing mistakes" I tell her and she nods. "But this still seems to be the end. At least, for now. So, I'm moving back to my parents' house and I guess you will too" I say and wait for her answer. "Yeah, I guess I will too" she says finally. "Okay, so I'll sell this apartment and leave for our own tour. Six months again. But this time when I'll come back, you won't be waiting for me. We both have to move on" I say and she nods. "So, if we will ever meet again, we will just pretend that I don't know you and that you don't know me."
