//That Boy Luke Hemmings\\

Chapter 4

When I woke up Luke was there. I forgot why is was there. Oh wait, he was staring at me last night. He's so weird... I checked the time, 7:00 am. I decided to wake up Luke. "Luke." I giggled he rolled over and opened his eyes. "Hi, Brookey" he said. I blushed at the name. We smile. "Why we're you staring at me last night?" I ask concerned "uhh..." he starts. "Because I couldn't sleep last night, and I wanted to see if you were okay sleeping here." he reasoned. "I do believe I was completely fine on my own, but thanks Luke" I smirk.

"Brooke, we gotta get ready to go to school." Michael says as he enters the room. His eyes thought they had deceived him, but no Luke was in my bed. "Uhm.." Michael eyes widen. "Nothing was going on Michael" I giggle. Michael looks a little, well sad. Luke laughs as if it were funny. I get out of bed quickly and run towards Michael as he began to walk away. "Mike!" he keeps walking ignoring everything. I grab his shoulders nd turn him so he was facing me. "You told me you weren't mad. Are you mad now?" I say disappointingly. He shrugs like he always does. I hate it sometimes. I hug him from behind. He doesn't squirm away for five seconds, which were kind of an awkward five seconds I just didn't want him to be mad.

"Uh. Brooke we have to get ready" we both realize at the same time. I mumble under my breathe running to my suitcase for clothes. I hear Ashton playing some All Time Low in the background as we all get ready. I get back to getting ready.

I realized it was 8 am so we had to begin walking. "Brooke come on!" Ashton whined. I quickly grabbed my bag, my phone and slid it into my pocket and ran down stairs. I ran into Calum "sorry," we both say. And we head out the door. We got to the crosswalk as always after about ten minutes. Being the idiot I was, I forgot my jacket. I began shivering as we cross the road together.

"Idiot," Calum teases. I shrug it off. Luke sees me worryingly. He comes near me and puts his arm around my shoulders to keep me warm. I was confused but I went with it anyways. He took his jacket off and offered me his jacket. "Do you offer me everything you own?" I joke. "No, I just want you to be warm," he smiles. I shook my head. School was soon anyways, I would have been fine but Luke put his jacket around my shoulders. Of course he would. I don't know why he is being so generous.

"And that will be it class. Thanks, today was a good day, see you monday" Mr. Taylor said as we rushed out of our class to lunch, I smiled remembering it was Friday today. I was starving. I rushed to lunch as well as everybody else. I saw Emma waiting in the same table as yesterday. I walked her way as she pulled out her ear buds "hi" she greeted me. I smiled as I sat down. We had a fun conversation at lunch. We'd burst out laughing a lot. I offered her to hang out later with the boys and I. She was happy too. Which was surprising since we had only met yesterday. "Meet me after school okay?" she nodded as she continued to listen to music.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The school bell had rung which cause everybody to rush out of whatever class they were in. Through the busy halls I see Emma making her way towards me as well. She just follows me. We make our way to the crosswalk and crossed it quickly. "Oh, had I mentioned I lived with the boys..?" I tell her. She looks at me confused. As we walk up the driveway of the house we enter the door only to reveal the boys. She looks at me with the widest eyes I had ever seen.

"Michael give me a slice of pizza! Please!" Ashton yells out. Everybody was on the couch by now. Emma wasn't used to all this comfort of the boys so she sits nest to my on the edge of the couch. The boys knew Emma's name, which was a surprise knowing they were so popular. We weren't really paying attention to the tv, we were just having a good time having each other's company. Calum was the sorta the comedian for the night. We were all paying attention to him and laughing our butts off. I took my attention off Calum to notice Luke's not laughing. I look at Luke to see him just staring deeply into my eyes smiling a really cheeky grin. Why was he like this? Does he like me. He had notice I was staring at him and he had looked away which made me snap out of my mini trance. My glance had ended on the floor like Michael last night.

"Brooke?" I look up realizing I had completely spaced out. I look to see Luke right next to me. "Huh?" I say quickly. "Where do you wanna sleep?" he chuckled as if he had said it already. I look around to see Emma sleeping. "I'll just sleep on the couch." I smile assuring him. I told Emma that I'd see her tomorrow and she began to walk home since it was only about quarter after 7. I don't know why everybody scurried to their rooms since it was so early.

"Why'd you ask me so early?" I yawn even though I'm not that tired. "Because you were still for about 10 minutes and I had assumed you were tired..?" he said with confusion at the end. It was silent for a moment until I ask "why we're you staring at me earlier Luke? I saw it." I chuckle at the last part. "Because you're beautiful Brooke" Luke says confidently. I just shyly smile at him. He comes closer to me and we sort of cuddle. My phone buzzes. I had totally forgotten about my phone. I wasn't that popular anyways. But I had two missed texts which I was surprised by.

One text from Emma:
Hey, got home safe. Thanks for today. It was fun.

I smiled and got to the next message

One text from Mary:
Hey! Miss you so much! Please talk to me :( I miss you. I love youuu

I texted her back showing I'm not dead. I looked up smiling but the next thing I know I had a breakdown remembering what I had left in Seattle. "Brooke, why? Please don't do this" Luke looks at me trying to comfort me, holding me. "Luke..." I say between sniffles "I left everything I had in Seattle, and came here with nothing, I don't know why. I just needed an escape from reality I guess." I began to slow down on the tears. "It's okay brookey, I'm here, and I always will be. I'll be your escape," he smiles at the name he had called me for the second time for no reason.

I checked the time to see it was already 11, Luke and I were on the couch still watching Cupcake Wars, I believe. Michael comes out to see us still up and he just goes into the bathroom. He was okay as from what I could tell, which made me happy. I had cuddled into my blankets with Luke still on the couch. I placed my head on the pillows and I got so sleepy I just fell asleep. As well as Luke did on the couch next to me.

I wasn't used to the couch, it was the first time I had been sleeping here. I woke up in the middle of the night I began to check my watch until I realized there was somebody holding their hands around my waist, which was unusual. I looked to see, and of course it was Luke. I just smiled not really caring. That's why Luke had been so nice lately, I think he likes me. Isn't it obvious? I checked my watch to see it was only 2 am. I groaned slightly and tossed my body slowly so Luke won't wake up. I quickly fell back asleep because I knew I was safe here, right now.
