"Unknown places, Unknown spaces as were drowning in feelings unknown, drowning in feelings unknown. Yet I don't feel alone, yet you're not home. I feel, we feel something unknown"

I nodded to myself writing down the lyrics that had just entered my mind and decided to mention them to Unknown when they had finished a recording session for a new single they decided to try out today.

"Luke?" A familiar husky female voice stated.

I froze, please don't let this be true. "Mum!" I stated and stood up turning around, there stood my mother Jade Harris, her pristine honey coloured and grey hair was pulled into a harsh bun, her cold blue eyes looked at me and she had plastered a fake smile on her face, she was tapping a high-heeled foot on the ground. I resembled my mother in a few ways same cheekbones, same jawline, same blue eyes and hair colour.

"Hello my sweet boy" She muttered coming over to hug me, I got a whiff of sweet perfume and nearly gagged. "I have the most amazing news you will be absolutely delighted."

"I doubt that. Whatever you have to say I don't care" I replied harshly and stepped away from her.

"Luke how dare you speak to me in that tone!" She snapped.

"How dare I, when have you ever cared about anything that has happened to me! You left me! You left me and dad to go off with some guy!" I shouted my heart racing.

"Show some respect to Phillip please we are going to be married! I have always cared about you. I love you Luke" She stated glowering at me.

I shook my head, turning my face away from her. "Look at me when I' am speaking to you Luke" Her fingernails dug into my chin, she turned my head harshly to face her.

"Love me! Where the hell were you when I needed you the most, when I begged you to stay! You have never been proud of me, you would rather run off with Phillip then stay to raise your own child!"

Her hand slapped my face hard, my cheek stung and my eyes burned.

"Get out!" I snarled.

"Why you little shit!" She screeched.

"Get out!" I muttered my voice as harsh as nails, my mother stood inches away from me glowering at me.

"Fine...I'll leave" She muttered, turning her designer shoes clinking out the door, her tall frame shook with anger as she left dressing room slamming the door behind her.

I sunk to the floor feeling tears swell in my eyes and wrapped my arms around myself, my heart hammering, my ears ringing and attempted to calm down.

I walked around the back of the recording studio, new prints in hand and froze seeing Aiden, Braden and Colin looking tense.
"Hey?" I muttered uncertainty feeling the jittery atmosphere between the three of them. "Are you all alright?"

"Perfectly fine" Aiden replied and took a drag on a cigarette, blowing the smoke into my face; I coughed and waved my hand.

"Thankyou" I muttered.

"Your welcome" Aiden replied stormily.

"Why are you all acting weird? Where's Luke?"

"Don't ask about Harris" Colin muttered clearly angry.

"Okay...um I'm going to go and find him"

"Good luck with that" Aiden stated and ran a hand through his hair.
