How did we end up here//Luke Hemmings

Chapter 25

Mia's Pov
I made my my way over to Dean the second that Ashton's curls were out of sight.
Dean is stood there with a slight smile on his face, the face that looks so much like my own. He finds this funny! He finds it fucking funny that my boyfriend now thinks I have slept with the one person I never thought I would even speak to again?

He folds his arms, his slight smile turning more into a grin as I stare at him, more like glare at him, for a couple of seconds.
"What?" He laughs.
"What the fuck is your problem?" I scream.

He shrugs, still not an ounce of guilt on his face. I can't stand it anymore. I bring my hand up to his cheek and slap him. Hard.
"That's for actually believing that I slept with Luke." All the anger that has been boiling up inside me has come to the surface.
I bring my hand up again to his other cheek and slap him harder.
"That's for making Ashton believe it too." I take a step back, out of breathe.

"And finally, you've lost me as your sister for being such a shitty brother." I give Dean a couple of seconds, but the expressions on his face are strange. First it looks sad. Then he looks like he is searching for someone. And now he looks angry. Not even angry, he looks like he's in rage. I choose to take myself away from him and grab Luke's hand, who had been standing clueless the whole time, and run out of the hospital.

By the time we reach the car park, were both out of breathe slightly.
I wait a while, to get my breathe back, but suddenly, Luke whispers something ridiculous.
"I'm sorry."
I turn to face him, eyeing him in a 'what do you mean your sorry' kind of way.
I raise my eyebrow, waiting for an explanation, and he tells me.
"If it hadn't of been for me, you would of been happy this whole time, nobody would of spread any rumours, then Dean would never of turned the way he is, and then you and Ashton could still be the cute little couple that you are."
He spoke in complete sincerity, except the last bit which was blatant sarcasm.

"Hey." I say, lifting his chin up so he is facing me rather than his feet.
"None of this is your fault, okay? And I'm telling the truth when I say that." His eyes look teary and I can't help but pull him in for a hug.
"You know I love you Mia." He says, muffled from his face being buried in my shoulder.
I take a second before replying.
"I know, I love you too." He pulls away quickly and stares at me with a twinge of happiness in his eyes.
"You love me?"
"Yeah, you are my friend, right?I love all my friends."
"Oh! Yeah, friends. You love me like that." He is slightly less happy until he seems to realise something.

"Wait, does that mean you've forgiven me?" I nod in answer to his question. His face lights up before asking one more thing.
"And does that mean we're best friends again?" I can tell my reaction gives him the answer, as I slightly frown.

"Oh, I get it. It's fine."
"No Luke. The only reason I'm saying that is because I don't know you. Things change in 6 years. A lot of things have changed. You can't just expect me to suddenly be best friends with you again when I can't even tell you one fact about yourself other than the simple stuff."
"Trust me Mia, I'm still the same."
"If you were still the same, you would never of bullied me." I snap.

Immediately, I regret saying it. The point of me forgiving him is so that I don't take a grudge on it. And I come out and say that? I mentally face palm myself.

Rather than looking angry about it though, he looks more guilty.
"I'm sorry..." I start to say but he stops me.
"No, don't be. Your right.
We can't be what we used to be. Not yet anyway, but I'm going to prove that I'm better now. I'm gonna prove that I am worthy to be your best friend again." He leaves it off like that, leaving us in an awkward silence.

I decide to break it with a question that been at the back of my mind the moment we stepped into the hospital car park.
"So, how are we going to get home?" Ashton was our ride and he isn't coming back.
It takes a while before Luke answers.
"I don't actually know. We either wait for the bus for an hour, or we start on the long walk home. I'm fine with either." He shrugs.
"Luke, that's going to take forever, how can you be fine with it." I whine.

The hospital is quite far from town, that's why we are in such a dilemma.
"I get to spend time with you." He smiles, the dimples I knew so well coming to bay. I feel quite warmed towards the idea, before I remember what I should be doing.

"Luke, we need a quicker way. I need to go find Ashton and talk to him."
"Oh, yeah.Right!" I can tell he wants to say something but is holding back.
"Tell me..."
"Tell you what?"
"Whatever is on your mind that is making you get frown lines."

He hesitates before speaking.
"What do you see in him?"
"What in Ashton? What is there not to see? Tell me why you hate us together so much?"
"No, it's nothing. It doesn't matter. Let's just start going, if you want to see him so bad."

Luke's long strides take him a lot further than my speed walking ever can. I practically run after him, before pulling his arm and turning him around.
"I have an idea. We can call my brother."
He gives me a 'what the hell are you thinking' look.
"Not Dean, Liam. You idiot." He sighs in relief making me laugh slightly, reducing the tension that was starting to warm up.
"Go on then, call him." Luke urges.
"Okay okay."
I dial the number, which I know by heart, and he picks up on the first ring. Strange!

"Mia. Oh my God, your alive. Shit I thought something happened to you." The relief in Liam's voice is actually quite laughable.
"If you were so worried, you could have just called." I let it sink in before he replies with,
"Good point." I laugh slightly before asking him for a ride.

"Me and Luke are in the hospital and we don't have a ride, can you come get us?"
"You and Luke, huh." From his voice, I know if I was with him right now he'd be wriggling his eyebrows about.
"Yes, me and Luke. Now come get us quickly." I frustratedly snap.
"Alright alright. I'm near there anyway so I should take a few minutes. See you then. Love you."
"Love you too." I disconnect the call, before turning to face Luke again, who has a slightly amused look on his face.

"What?" I ask, starting to laugh for absolutely no reason, myself.
"You and your brother are so funny. Liam and I really need to catch up."
"No. I won't allow that to happen. The last time you were together, my room got covered in silly string." I try to pretend I'm angry about that but come to think of it, it was pretty funny.
Luke bursts out into laughter before recalling some of our other memories.

By the end of this, Me and Luke are crying with laughter. Liam comes over to get us, looking at us like were crazy, but once we tell him why we are laughing, he joins in too. It takes us 10 minutes before we actually get into the car. But when we do, someone is there that I an starting to get so angry at.

"What is he doing here?" I ask Liam.
He eyes me curiously before explaining the reason he was already close to the hospital was because he was getting Dean. I turn away from the car, but Luke just grabs me and whispers that it won't do any harm, as long as we don't speak to him. I agree before entering the car. Me and Luke at the back, and Dean in the passenger seat.

"Uhm, can someone tell me what is wrong." Liam asks, clueless.
"Nothing." We all say together.
"Oo-kay then."

We all sat in silence for half the journey, but eventually, Liam speaks.
"Guys, Mum wanted to tell you this herself but you never showed up after school. Were going on holiday to Spain. And we're going with Luke's family."

Dean starts choking on air.
"What?" He shouts.
"Yeah, I know! It's amazing right?"
"I am not going on holiday with him."
Dean screams, pointing at Luke.
We pull up at my house, and Dean gets out, slams the door, and marches inside. Shouting curse words.
Me and Liam, both frightened to death, look at each other before running into the house. If Dean is this angry, who knows what he could do....
