Demon || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 20: Home Sweet Home

*LUKE'S POV*

I walk into the apartment and I'm glad I can't see anyone. "What the fuck was that?" I hear a voice. Before I turn around to the person who just walk out of the bathroom, I already know it's Alexis. "I'm sorry, okay. It wasn't me. I'm just..." I start to apologize when she cuts me off. "Wait, did you just say that you're sorry?" she asks. "Yeah, why?" I ask back. "Real Luke Hemmings, and I mean that Luke Hemmings I know, never apologizes to anyone, no matter what he did" she says. "Well, people change" I say and shrug. "But you're not human" she protests. "Stop provoking me or it will end up like the last time" I strain through my teeth. "Okay, fine. I won't risk my demonic life. Anyway, your pretty lady is not here anyway, so there's no one who could help me" she says sarcastically. "Leave her out of this" I shout at her. "Or what? What are you going to do?" she asks. She's definitely up to something. "What the fuck is your problem?" I shout at her again.

*ALEXIS' POV*

"You are my problem Hemmings" I say and press him against the closest wall. Maybe he is a demon and maybe he is strong, but so am I. Anyway, he can't control himself and that's his weakness. "What do you want from me?" He asks the question through his teeth. "I think you know what I want, baby. I want some compensation for what you did to me" I say and stroke his crotch. "Stop it! NOW!" he shouts. "Oh baby, you're going to beg for it. Trust me. You will ask for more and more" I whisper into his ear and giggle. I brush my lips against his and the cold metal of his lip ring makes me shiver. I always wanted Luke this way and now I can, so I'll use the opportunity. I put off his jacket and throw it somewhere. "Seriously Alexis. Stop" he says. "Alexis please" he says again when I don't stop sucking skin on his neck. "Tell me what you want me to do baby. Beg for it" I mumble into his neck, sending the vibrations on his skin. "STOP" he shouts and use all his strength to push me away from him. Exactly what I wanted. I smirk and he looks confused now. I slowly walk to him.

*LUKE'S POV*

When she's close to me again, she puts her hand on my chest right at place where my heart is supposed to be. She looks up at me and put that stupid smile on her face. I push her away from me once more and run out of the apartment. I bump into Ashton somewhere at the stairs. He's obviously with Bianca. They both look confused. "Where are you going?" Ashton asks and without any hesitation I respond. "62 miles away from here" I say and then I notice Alexis standing up there. I start to run again. I have to hide somewhere, because she's going to follow me. I'm definitely not doing the same mistake again. I run inside of the train station and hide myself. I watch her how she's looking for me around and I know she won't find me. When she starts to walk deeper in the crowd, I use the chance and run out of my hiding place and continue in my way.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I get off the train on the train station in our small town. The first place where I plan to go is the old creaky house. My bag with my stuff is still there. So, I start to walk. When I stop in front of the house, well, it's not a house anymore. It's just pile of wooden pales and I don't know what everything else. They demolished it. I can't believe it. The only place I had in here which connected me with him. I assumed that my bag is not here anymore. I turn around and start to walk to house which will turn into hell when I show up in the door. It takes me 20 minutes to get there. I just see my mum's car parking in front of it. I'm pretty sure she can see me. She gets out of the car and staring at me. "Avi?" she calls at me. "Mum" I say with a smile on my face and run to her. I immediately wrap my arms around her waist and hug her. "Where have you been? You scared me" she says. "Does it matter? I'm back now. I'm sorry for everything" I tell her and I mean it. She opens the trunk of the car with groceries in it and I take the paper bags to help her. "You're so lucky your dad is not home right now. He went to London on some seminar" she says and I freeze in the moment when she mentions London. What if? No, it can't happen. London is a huge city, there's no way my dad would accidently meet Luke in there.

*LUKE'S POV*

I'm almost there. I know I am. I'm so close. Then I stop in shock. That old wooden house where I used to live in is demolished. The cinders are on the ground. Where am I supposed to go now? I have to find some place. Since it's already evening and the sun slowly goes down, I start to walk around and look for something. After about an hour of walking around I spot an old house which seems empty. I look around and when I can't see anyone I walk to the door. At first, I knock on the door and wait for a while, but when no one opens the door, I try to open it. Of course, I'm not successful. I use my strength and kick the door. This time it worked. The door is slightly open. I push it and walk into the house. As I assumed, it's empty. No one lived here for years. Well, seems like I'll be staying here for now. Anyway, it's probably much safer than this old creaky house. Then I got an idea, but this will definitely take some time. But yeah, I can try this.

*OCTAVIA'S POV*

I walk into my room and I notice the door looks different. "What's wrong honey?" my mum asks and I just shake my head. Of course, it's different, I locked it, so I assume my dad kicked it out. Yeah, the bag I left in the creaky house is on the floor and my phone is still on the bed where I left it. I look at the screen and there are hundreds of missed calls from my friends, parents and family members. Also, a lot of messages. I slowly start to read them. It takes me like forever. Then I decide to text back to Lea, Jordan and Sam in the morning, because I really don't want them to come here immediately after I would send them a text that I'm back. I take a quick shower and put on some comfy clothes and lay down on the bed. I wake up to some sound. I slowly open my eyes and I see it's still dark. I want to close my eyes again when I hear the sound again. It sounds like somebody is knocking on my window or what. Wait, the window. I sit up sharply and look at the window. I think I just spot a movement out there, but I'm not sure about it, until the person behind my window doesn't force the face on the glass.

*LUKE'S POV*

"What the hell are you doing here?" she asks right after she opens the window. "What does it look like I'm doing?" I ask her back and start to climb to her room through the window. When I'm in I close it back. I look at her and she looks confused. "What? Aren't you glad that you see me?" I ask her. "Well, kind of. My dad is in London right now and I was scared he might meet you there" she says and looks down on the floor. Really, I ran 62 miles for this? "Hey, I want to show you something" I say and hope that this might catch her attention. "What is it?" she asks and looks up at me. "Just come with me" I say and stroke her cheek. She looks at me and I know she's thinking about it. "Give me a minute" she says and I climb out of the window and wait outside for her. I just want to know what she thinks about my idea. I wait for a while until she walks out from the front door of the house. I stand up and we start to walk.
