Back to the Place Only You and I Share: Luke Hemmings//5SOS

Chapter 1

{A/N: HI GUYS! Okay, so this is my first Luke fanfic and, as a Luke girl, I have thoroughly enjoyed and still am enjoying writing this.

I thought it would be cool to write one based loosely on something I can relate to and use personal experiences to help create this for you guys. Firstly, can I say that I know Luke has two brothers in real life (trust me: I'm jack hemmings af lol), but for the purposes of this fic he only has one called George. Also, this fanfic deliberately has no identified location. I felt as though it would be best not to mention where it's set so you guys can picture it somewhere more personal to you. Lastly, this is based around slsp era 5sos, only they aren't famous in this yet (just to clarify.)

Thank you all so much for reading, ily and hope you enjoy it!!!}

I always felt that in everyday life one needs a motivation; everyone needs something to look forward to and help drive them through the day. For me, I found myself counting down the days until the summer and the day I could finally return to Westward Bay.

Westward Bay: a little discrete yet stunning town down south. I adored every aspect of this acquaint getaway, be it it's gorgeous underappreciated beaches or quirky shops and breath-taking scenery. But most of all, I loved how close to heart it was with my family.

As a boy, my granddad spent every summer at Westward and so it was inevitable that he took his children there in later years. Now, every one of my summers is spent soaking up the glorious southern sun along with my grandparent's good friends, Sally and Peter, who bring their children and grandchildren, George and Luke.

Spending every summer down there, my cousins, George, Luke and I all have a unique bond of childhood memories and, despite not seeing them for long periods of time, when we reunite the following year for another summer together, it's as if nothing ever changed.

I couldn't have been more relieved that it was that time of year again; the time of year I'd spent the months prior longing for. In the words of Alice Cooper: schools out for summer. In fact, it was out forever as I had just recently sat my last exams. With such a long summer in front of us, me and my best friend, Azure, had planned for a summer we'd be talking about for years to come. This year, she'd be joining me at Westward a few weeks into the summer.

I couldn't quite get my head around the fact that in merely a weeks time I would be on my way to Westward Bay- my special place, my getaway. But more importantly, I would be reunited with the people I loved most.

I hadn't seen George or Luke since the day we left Westward the year prior and in all honesty, I missed them. A lot. But that's just something you have to deal with when you live 120 plus miles away from one another. Besides, we've all been so busy this year; me, studying for my last year of school and them starting college. I guess you could say that distance makes the heart grow fonder? You seem to cherish the time you have with somebody more when you know that the days are numbered.

Despite not being actual family, I always considered them as brothers-from-other-mothers- or a second family, if you will. They were my theoretical big brothers, seeing me through my awkward braces phase, my twelve year old self's boyband obsession and my dora the explorer bangs. Much to my delight, all three of these features of mine are gone and locked away in the past. Well away. Though, the odd photo seems to appear from time to time to haunt me of my old fashion choices. Nonetheless, I was excited for all of us to reunite.

With such a long and fulfilling summer ahead of us, it was sure to be an amazing one.

Little did I know.
