Chapter 14: We're leaving?! (updated)

I banged on my moms door hoping she would answer.

"Mom are you okay, do you need to talk?!" the door knob turned and she walked out with a suitcase.
"Mom what are you doing?"
"Ali go pack your things we're leaving tomorrow."
"What we can't leave my whole life is-"
"Go!" she snapped.

I listened and walked to my room. I can't leave here my friends, boyfriend, band it's all here.
There has to be something I can do.
I fell on my bed thinking of plans to change my moms mind.
Maybe we can stay with one of the boys till this blows over.
Tears started rolling down my eyes. Luke, Michael, Ashton, and Calum have been the greatest things to ever happen to me.
I pulled out my phone sniffling while typing in Luke's number.
I needed to tell him but I couldn't say it to his face.
Tears fell onto the screen as I hit the 'call' button.

"Hey Ali."
"H-hey Luke," my voice broke.
"Ali what's wrong?"
"I-I I'm leaving Luke."
"Wha-what?"
"My mom and I are leaving, I don't know where we're going but I know it's somewhere far away from here."

"But Ali."
"I love you Luke, and can you tell the boys I don't have the heart to tell them myself"
"Okay."
"Goodbye."

I hung up and I knew this was the end.
My mom stood by the door with tears in her eyes.

"Did you need something," I sniffled.
"You really like these boys don't you."
"With all my heart yes."
"Ali you're staying."
"What?"
"Stay with Luke, I'll stay with my sister in Oklahoma until Ron leaves then I'll come back and get you."

"Y-you really mean it?"
"Exactly, I'll go talk to his mother and you start packing. I love you," she walked over and hugged me then kissed the top of my head.

She walked out and I heard the door close.
Instantly I started packing all my things.

Luke's POV

I finished calling the boys to tell them the news.
Then there was a knock at the front door.
I was closest but right now I felt numb and broken.
Not really feeling like moving.
Ben rushed in and started talking to a lady.

"Hello?"
"Hi um is your mother here?"
"Yeah one sec, mum someone's here to see you!"
"Coming!" she rushed downstairs and talked to the lady too.

"Oh dear have you been crying."
"Yeah but I really need to talk to you alone."
"Of course please come in, Ben please go to your room."
"Okay." who was my mum talking to?

The women walked passed and I made out her face, it was Alison's mom.
I jumped up.

"Luke-" she said softly.

"Go up to your room right now." My mom barked. I did as I was told but not exactly. I hid behind the wall that led to the kitchen.

"What do you need Diana?"
"I have to leave."
"Why is that."
"My ex husband is the reason I moved here, to get away from him but he's coming back. He's hurt Alison and I, and I can't let him do that again."

"Okay what do need us to do dear?"
"I've seen how much Luke has done for Alison, I've never seen love in such young people. She needs him and he needs her. It's not fair for me to take her away from him, the boys, and their band. So I was going to ask you if you could house Alison until my ex husband leaves us alone, then I come back and get her."

"Honey of course and I understand where you're coming from. Luke's made friends that he could have for life. He's been so much more outgoing and he's never talked about anyone the way he talks about Alison. I'm just wondering where do you plan on going?"

"Back to America to stay with my sister. I'll be back as soon as Ron leaves I promise."
"Okay, when will she be over?"
"About 2 o'clock tomorrow."
"Okay I'll have Luke stay home so he can help. I'm sure he'll be very excited."
"Yeah Alison is probably almost done packing. Well I better be going and thank you again Liz."
"It's really no problem."

She was coming out so I turned to run back up stairs.
But me being me I tripped over air. Alison's mom looked down at me, smiling and holding out her hand to help me up.

"So I assume you already know that Alison will be staying with you?"

I nodded my head, not thinking I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight.

"Thank you." she smiled and began walking out the door.

I knew nothing could separate Alison and I.
