Crash 》Hemmings

Chapter Thirty

Meeting Luke's parents did not go how I thought it would. I didn't expect to have a bruised up back that hurt every time I took a breath. I guess it could be worse.

"Can we do something tonight? Or do you work?"

I shook my head. "We can do something. What did you have in mind?"

"Let's fuck shit up."

I rolled my eyes. That was typically Luke's response when I asked him what he wanted to do. We never ended up doing that though. We would just eat food and watch TV.

"I'm serious!" He exclaimed when he noticed I didn't believe him. "I wanna do something illegal."

"Why does it have to be illegal?"

"It's more fun that way."

My record wasn't clean. I've done some stuff in the past, nothing too major though. I've never been caught either.

"What did you have in mind?" I finally asked, caving in.

Luke glanced over at me quickly before turning his attention back to the road. I could see the smirk on his face. "Oh you'll see."

"You guys are so stupid," I muttered. Luke somehow convinced Michael, Ashton, Calum, and Bianca to join us once we got back home. He decided that we could go to the zoo. Of course the zoo was closed at one thirty in the morning.

"It'll be fun," Luke whispered as he searched for my hand in the dark. "This way we can see all the animals that usually sleep in the daylight."

"It's dark out, we can't see anything!" I whisper yelled at him.

I've lived here for over a year now and I've never been to the zoo. It was like the beach I guess. While I did want to go to the zoo, I didn't want to go and have the chance of getting caught by the police.

"Loosen up Crash," Michael said knocking his shoulder against mine. I rolled my eyes. Everyone seemed to be okay with this except me.

We walked up to the big iron gate closing off the zoo. It was pretty tall, especially to me.

"Alright, let's go," Calum said. He began to climb the fence with ease. Something told me this wasn't his first time entering a closed area.

Michael followed close behind him. His feet slipped a few times, but he made it over safe.

"I don't think I can make it," Bianca said. "I'm afraid of heights and don't have any upper body strength."

"We can go back to my apartment if you want baby," Ashton told her, rubbing her arm.

"Dude, you're whipped!" Michael yelled. I flinched. It was dead silent out and I was scared someone was going to hear him.

"No," Bianca said. "I can do this."

She was right. After much struggle, and a lot of help from Ashton, she made it over. Now it was just Luke and I.

"Ladies first," he told me with a cheesy grin.

"You just want to see my ass," I said as I began to climb.

"Damn right I do!" He told me and proceeded to slap my butt. One of the boys told us to get a room. Once I made it over the fence I brushed the flakes of rust off my hands.

"Where to first?" Luke asked standing next to me. He automatically grabbed my hand and brought me closer to him.

"Can we see the tigers?" Calum asked. No one answered because he was already on his way in that direction. I gripped onto Luke's hand tightly.
