Luke's POV
"Yeah yeah yeah. I know you were both right. But that's the last and only time you will hear that sentence come out of my mouth ever again."I said rolling my eyes any my two brothers childish behaviors. I decided to tell them about my dream after the call with Ashton. I just left out a few select details.... but still said enough to make me feel better.
But they are slowly making me regret it by gloating. "We told you that you would feel better after just talking to us."Ben yelled jumping up and down like a kid. "How are either of you married. You both act like you're still twelve."I mumbled shaking my head.
"On a scale from one to ten, I'm actually more of a fourteen." Ben said putting me in a headlock and messing my hair up. "Try fourteen on the ph scale because you're basic as fuck."I said jabbing his stomach with my elbow triggering my release. "Oh!"Jack yelled making Ben scramble over tackling him. Jack pushed Ben off making him land on the floor with a thud as I smirked in satisfaction.
"Speaking of scales and chemicals or whatever, tonight is date night little brother."Jack said sitting on the couch next to me. "We were thinking you should go visit mum while we're out, Luke."Ben said sitting up and calming himself down. "I guess so. Is there a car available I can take?"I asked remembering that Jasey and I came here in her car.
"Yeah. The four of us will just take one car"Ben suggested. "I also think you might want to tell mum the truth. She can probably give you some advice that we couldn't."Jack said. "That is what mum's are for."He added making me smile slightly. "Love ya Lukey. We'll see you later."Ben said getting up and patting my back.
He exited the living room leaving Jack and I alone. "Don't worry Luke. Just tell her the truth. The whole truth. She might be angry but she'll still love you no matter what. That's also what mum's are made for."Jack said ruffling my hair once again exiting the room himself.
I sighed at the thought of how lucky I was to have a mum. This made me think of Jasey of course and how she didn't have a mum who loved her unconditionally. Or who really loved her at all. But she did have a dad unlike myself. We were like the halves of each other that we were missing our whole lives. Hopefully, talking to my mum will give me an idea of how to possibly show Jasey how I see it too.
I walked upstairs and got ready for the day. Well, what was left of the day. I threw on a green day shirt, black skinny jeans, and my black converse. I styled my hair up quickly and I took a good look at myself in the mirror. I looked like a walker from the walking dead. Better than half an hour ago I guess, but still look like shit. I sighed leaving the bathroom giving up and in search of my phone.
I found it under my bed in a pile of dirty socks. Great. It was at seventy three percent but I wasn't going far and wouldn't be on my phone much anyway. I stumbled down the stairs and out the door grabbing the keys along the way. Ben and Jack left me the black two-thousand-nine Ford Escape to take to the hospital. I got in and took a shaky breath. Here I go. Let's hope she won't disown me when I tell her what I did.

I pulled into the hospital practically shaking. I was so nervous on the way here, I almost rammed into a tree. I sat staring straight ahead for a few minutes just thinking about any possible way to explain to my own mother that her youngest son is a man whore. I shrugged my nerves off as best as I could and got out of the car before I chickened out.
I walked in and there was a young worker that the front desk. She looked about my age and probably had boobs the size of cantaloupes but you could tell they were fake. She had too much cleavage showing with her button up shirt with a plastic name tag on it that said 'Kat'. She had long blond hair and deep blue eyes. In the past, I would have totally tapped that. But now, girls like her just seem so gross and desperate to get laid.
"Hey babe. Can I help you?"She asked smiling plasticly at me. "Yes. I'm here to see my mum, Liz Hemmings."I said flatly. I wasn't interested and not really in the mood since I was so nervous anyway about talking with my mom. "Ah, let me check files really quick for ya."She said snapping her gum in between words.
She leaned forward purposely so if I were to look, I would have more of a view of her chest. I rolled my eyes and tapped my finger on the counter as I waited. "Here we are! fourth floor. She's in room C-19!"She said a bit too perky for my liking. I nodded and left without even saying thank you to her. I stepped into the elevator and pressed the fourth floor as I waited patiently.
The elevator dinged and I stepped out nervously. I walked around a bit before I found the room number. I breathed heavily and put my hand on the knob. "Just do it Luke."I said to myself. I turned the knob and entered the sunny room. There lied my mother on a hospital bed. "Hey mum."I said grabbing her attention away from the book she was reading.
She beamed up at my presence and waved me in. "Luke."She smiled bringing me into comparably weak hug to the one she had given me when Jasey and I first arrived. "How are you feeling today mum?"I asked. "That seems to be all you kids ask these days. But I'm grateful that you care enough to ask or just be polite. I'm doing alright though."She said. "Good. So, the boys said you wanted to see me?"I asked referring to Jack and Ben.
"Yes. Well for one I just wanted to see you. Secondly, I wanted to talk to you about Jasey."She said making my breathing sharpen. "I know that the horse shit everyone has been feeding me is indeed false. Do your mum a fai and tell me the truth. I just want to know what actually happened."She added. I hung my head low at her statement. Here goes everything. "Mum, I haven't been completely open or honest about what has happened in the past few years."I started.
After a very vigorous discussion of my past with my mom, she finally knew everything. Well, almost. The one thing I never ended up telling her was how my father really died. She didn't really have to know that one.
"Well Luke, I am a little disappointed in you. But I guess this has been a learning experience for you. I do have to tell you that I suspected you were in fact a 'man whore' as you kids say now a days for some time now."She said making my eyes widen.
"You're not as careful as you think you are little boy."She said making me smile slightly. "In all honesty, I don't really care. It's the past and you can't change it. But it has made you to who you are today."She said dismissively about that area of the conversation. "What I am upset about however, is how you treated Jasey after all F that supposed lesson learning." she said.
"Trust me mum. That's all I've been thinking about. Believe it or not, I wanted you to know about it so I could so for your advice about it. What do you think I should do?"I said making her sigh. "Well, I think that you should give her both what she wanted, and what you want. She didn't want you to come after her but she never said when she didn't want you to. But you also have to think about her and how she's going to be feeling when that time comes.
If she needs time to stitch herself back together, then give her that time before you enter her life again."She said. "But I miss my friends mum."I said quietly. "I'm sure they miss you too. You said so yourself that Ashton told you exactly that."She said as I nodded. "I want to do the right thing. I just don't know what that is or when that is." I said. "Yet."She added.
"You will once the time is right. As for your friends, they're your friends too. Don't be afraid to talk to them."She said. I chuckled and thought of Calum. "Calum probably hates me right now. I broke his sister's heart."I said wiping my eyes. I didn't need to cry, again.
"He doesn't hate you. He's most likely just angry with you, right now. But like I said, give it time. You two were so close Luke. Like brothers. I'm sure he's thinking of you too. Don't be so quick to think like that what your feeling is only one sided. And have a bit of faith in them."She said. I hate when moms are right
