It's Just A Cafe || Luke Hemmings

chapter 35

Luke's POV

*major time skip so I can move this story along ily*

New Year's just pasted about a week ago. Christmas as well as New Year's was spent with Mac and the boys.

My family doesn't really do Christmas. My mom will get little gifts for us all but it was never a big production like how it used to be. We didn't decorate a tree anymore or hang up stockings. If you walked into our house at Christmas time you would think it was just a regular day.

Which is kind of upsetting. I mean, as a kid Christmas is a big deal. The tree and presents and cookies and food, it's what makes the holiday so lovable. But at my house, we didn't get that.

Mac did though, causing my Christmas spirit to not completely disappear. Her and her mom went all out. Snowflakes were hanging from the ceiling and tinsel all over the counter tops. The tree was about 10 feet high, thanks to their high ceilings. Mac's house was refreshing. It was nice to have the daily reminder of holiday spirit.

New Year's was a big party too. Party as in Mac, the boys, and me. Clearly the party was at Mac's house. The guys claiming that their house wasn't clean or suited for a party, but they really just didn't want to decorate or put forth effort.

All in all my holidays were spent well and with good people. I couldn't ask for anything different.

At the moment, it was Friday, Mac was dropping me off at my house. I would be going to her's but Mac and her mother had to go do something; she said she would tell me later.

"I'll be back later. Text me if I need to pick you up." Mac said as i collected my things and undid my seatbelt.

"Okay. I'll see you later. Don't miss me too much love." I smirked a little and leaned over the center console to quickly kiss her lips.

Over the past few months I've been getting more affectionate towards my girlfriend. Mac was always affectionate but she knew how different this was to me so she didn't push it. But time has passed and it just seemed natural now, like this was supposed to happen.

"Don't worry, I won't." She responded to my comment. I shut her car door and made my way up the stairs. As I opened the front door, I turned around and waved at Mac, she returned the wave.

I stepped inside and something seemed off. There was tension in the air and I didn't like it. I was already getting angry and I didn't even have a reason, yet.

I walked down the short hallway to the kitchen, nobody was there. I looked in the dining room, living room, bathroom, office, and I still didn't see anyone.

"Is anyone home?" I decided to voice my question out loud, screaming it to the whole house. I heard a noise in response and it was coming from upstairs.

I ascended (pretty sure that means going up but lol I used a big word) the steps and made my rounds through the bedrooms. Everyone's was clear, but I still had to check mine. I opened the door to the light blue room and saw a figure standing there, putting my stuff into boxes.

"Dad? What are you doing?" I tried to control my temper since there is a small possibility there is a senseable reason behind this, very very small.

My father turned around, "Oh, you're home. I was hoping you'd be at that sluts house for the evening."

"Don't you dare call her a slut, she had to do something with her mother tonight." I responded.

"Do something with her mother, that reminds me! I need to do something with yours. She's getting annoying, well not getting annoying she always was. I was just in it for the sex and then you damn kids came along." He rambled.

"Don't say that! You weren't in it for the sex! You married mom because you loved her. You wanted kids, a living person that is half you and half the love of your life. You wanted this." I spoke through gritted teeth.

"You don't know anything about love, you ignorant waste of space! You're in this joke of a relationship for the sex too, am I right? That girl you have there has some knockers on her I'll tell you that. I bet she rides you all the time and you love it you little horny bastard!" My father was stepping closer to me and pointing an accusing finger in my direction. He looked hungover. Not drunk, definitely not sober.

"Don't you fucking dare accuse me of that! I am not an ignorant waste of space, you're a terrible excuse of a father! I do not use my girlfriend for sex and nor will I ever. I am never, never, going to turn into the horrible man you are. That would basically be committing suicide.

"Who says I don't know about love? Who says, who says, (you're not perfect) that I'm not in love right now? You sure as hell don't know. I don't even know. I don't even know if my relationship will get to that but I sure as hell wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with Mac." I through my arms in the air for effect and my father and I were separated merely by inches.

This conversation escalated quickly.

"You say that now, just wait some time and you'll change."

I decided to drop that topic and ask again what the fuck he was doing in my room putting my stuff into boxes.

"Oh, funny you should ask. I was hoping to be done before you came home, but you ruined my fucking plans. I was putting your shit into boxes so when you did decide to come home, you'd be ready to move out." He grinned an ugly grin proudly.

"Where would I even go?"

"Well to that sluts house of course." He responded.

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, do not call her a slut. Or anything profane for that matter. I'm not moving out of my house anytime soon. Get out of my room and leave me the fuck alone." I spat at him and he surprisingly left, probably to go get drunk again. He slammed the door on his way out and started driving his disgusting excuse of a car.

I grabbed the key on top of my door frame and held it in my hand. I closed my bedroom door and locked it, about six times to make sure.

I clipped the key onto my house key ring and sat on the couch watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians until Mac came back.
