The One To Save You || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 35:

Rose's P.O.V. -

Luke Hemmings. The amazing singer/guitarist from 5 Seconds Of Summer who just cheated on me.

I thought we went through bad times before.... and I thought we'd gotten over them and decided to trust each other.

I tried to trust him. That didn't work.

He doesn't even know that girl - why was he with her?

Clearly they had some connection.

And I'm just not good enough for him. I never have been and never will be. The love of my life is so close, yet so far away.

I decided to walk to the nearest cafe and I sat in the bathroom crying. I needed to unwind and forget about Luke.

Suddenly, I got this burning feeling in my gut and a sudden dizziness in my head.

No no no no. Don't do this. You can't do this. I thought.

My hands were shaking, and my wrists were itching.

No don't do this to yourself. You're better than that..

But I couldn't resist. The urges were getting stronger. I pulled out my wristlet before thinking.

Flashback:

"Listen to me. I know that we just met, but we're already great friends, and I know that you're a wonderful person and you don't deserve that. If the urges ever come back, just call me. No matter where I am, what time it is, or how old we are. I'll be here for you."

End of flashback.

"Luke." I whispered just loud enough for me to hear in the silence of the bathroom stall.

I was shaking and crying, but I pulled my phone out and called Luke. He said he'd be here..

"Cmon Luke. Pick up pick up pick up pick up."

His voicemail picked up after many rings. "Hi this is Luke. I can't answer the phone right now. I'm probably on my guitar. Call me back later!"

Hearing his voice made everything worse.

It's the voice of the beautiful boy I've lost. I'm not good enough. So why even try?

I was scratching at the barely visible scars on my wrist. Shaking, I reached into my bag and grabbed a blade.

I've always kept one, just for times like these.

A single slice sent me to heaven. A second, paradise. Blood dropped into the toilet and mixed with the water in a majestic scene. I was in a world of my own.

Luke's P.O.V. -

We got off the stage from sound check and I checked my phone.

A missed call from Rosie.

My beautiful Rose; running off on her own, probably crying over me. She deserves better. If only I could explain...

That's when it hit me. The video cameras. I have proof. Hopefully Rose will still pick up..

Rose's P.O.V. -

Several cuts and lots of blood later, my cell phone rang.

It was Luke.

I don't know what he was going to say, but I just wanted to hear it. Who knows?

"Rose. Where are you?"

I sniffled from crying and answered "the cafe" with a shaking voice.

"Are you crying? What wrong? Is everything okay?" He sounded so worried.

"Come back to the arena. I have something to show you. Please.." His voice trailed off before he ended the call.

I packed up my things, wrapped my wrist in a towel, and headed back towards the arena.

"Rose. Come quick. I'm sorry." Luke yelled at the entrance of the stadium.

"Look. The video cameras. They'll show you. I didn't do anything! I was just changing and she came up and -" With that, I cut him off.

I watched the video. He'd done nothing wrong. I should've let him explain.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered, my voice still a bit shaking from before.

"It's okay." He hugged me and kissed my forehead. "I love you, you know that? I love you so much." He said, looking at the ground.

When he did, he must've saw the towel on my wrist.

"Rose..."

He stared into my eyes. I turned from his gaze. I was too embarrassed.

"Please tell me that's not what I think it is..."

"I'm sorry, Luke. I'm so sorry..." I whispered.

Luke started crying, too.

"Why? You're absolutely beautiful. Why didn't you just call -" He stopped talking and stared into space for a minute.

"I did call, but you didn't answer. I thought you didn't care..."

"We were on the stage for soundcheck." He put his hands on his head in distress.

Luke's P.O.V. -

"Fuck. I'm so sorry. I wasn't there when you needed me to be.."

"It's okay, Luke. Because now I know you will be here for me. And I love you so much for that." She reached up and kissed me.

"I love you more. I'll never leave you again. You'll always have me. I promise."

I don't think I ever saw her smile brighter than she did when I said that.
