Come Find Me || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 10: Questioning

*MADISON'S POV*

I walk inside the house and just at the moment when I close the front door, the lamp in living room is switched on. "Where have you been Madison?" my dad asks me from the armchair. I sigh. I was hoping for him to not to be still awake when I got home. My prayers haven't been heard. "I was just hanging out with my friend" I tell him. But my voice wasn't steady as it should be and I have been caught lying. "What friend?" he asks again with raised eyebrow while he stands up from the armchair. I nervously pull at my sleeves. "You mean that friend who drove you home? That blonde guy who you kissed?" he half yells at me. Not loud enough to wake up my mother and brother. It's really hard to grow up as daddy's little princess. "Dad, stop. We'll talk about it later. I'm tired" I try to get away from this conversation. "You're tired. Really? I don't think you were tired before I called you" he's raising his voice slightly. "Sit down" he says and pull my arm to the middle of the room, throwing me on the couch. He sits down back on the armchair. I know he will keep me here until I won't tell him what he wants to know. "So, young lady. Who's that young boy you were hanging out with tonight?" he asks me and cross his arms on his chest. I sigh again. "I told you, he's my friend" I answer and bite on my bottom lip. "Don't you dare to lie to me" I see his head turning red from anger. "I am not. We're just friends" I repeat my answer again. It's the truth anyway. Well, we're probably on the best way to become something more than friends, but for now that's what we are. Friends. Doesn't matter if my father believes me or not. "Madison Macey" he starts and I know this is a bad sign. "Kevin" I hear my mum's voice. Yes, she came to save me. My dad turns his head to her. "Let her take some sleep, you can talk about this tomorrow" my mum tells him and then she smiles at me. I smile back at her. "Fine. Go to bed" my dad says and I stand up from the couch and go upstairs. On my way to my room I stop next to my mum and hug her. "Thanks mum" I mumble against her skin. "Goodnight sweetheart" she says. "Goodnight mum" I say and go to my room. I know morning will be cruel. I know what my dad will do just in the second when I will walk into the kitchen. I change into a pair of shorts and some top. I remove the make-up from my face, brush my teeth and snuggle into my bed.

*LUKE'S POV*

I park the car in front of our house. I see the light is still switched on in living room. I know my mum is still awake and waiting for me to come home. I look at my phone and realize it's almost 2am. My mom only keeps waiting for me when I don't tell her where I'm going. When she knows where I am she goes to sleep without any problem, but when she doesn't know, she keeps waiting for me. I know I can expect a lot of questions. I know exactly which one will be first. I take a deep breath and get off of the car. I slowly walk towards the house. When I reach my hand for the door handle to open the door, the door suddenly opens and my mum is standing there. "Where have you been Lucas?!" she yells at me. Yeah, I knew this is gonna be the first question. "Just outside with a friend" I tell her and shrug. "Lucas, don't talk to me like that" she half yells at me. She only calls me Lucas when she's really mad, which is right now. "I told, you, I was out with a friend" I repeat my answer and put off my shoes. "What friend?" she asks again. I get it, she's worried I'm gonna end up like one of these stars, who were taking drugs and drinking alcohol regulary. But I'm not like that. She raised me right, I know I would never do that. It's stupid anyway. Taking drugs? Where's the point? Drinking alcohol, yeah occasionally. But not drinking at least one bottle every single day. "You don't know her" I tell her and lean against the wall. "A girl? Lucas what the hell?" she still half yells at me and then I realize how she got my answer. "Mum, stop. Don't worry. It was just a normal girl. Not any hoe" I roll my eyes. "Name, age, description" she stand right in front of me with her hands cross on her chest. Sometimes she acts like a cop. I know she just tries to protect me because I'm her youngest son and that's what makes me momma's boy. Being youngest and protecting by your mother sucks. I roll my eyes again before giving her the answer. "Fine. Her name is Madison, she's 17, she's much smaller than me, long brown hair, and beautiful crystal blue eyes. Is that enough?" I reply to her. "You're in love with this girl Luke Robert" she hits me in the chest with her hand. Then I realize I had that stupid smile on my face while talking about her. "Yeah, I am. But I swear, she's really nice. And beautiful. Mum, just trust me. I know what I'm doing" I tell her. She nods. "Fine, go to bed now" she says and smiles at me. I smile at her back and go upstairs to my room.

*MADISON'S POV*

I wake up to the sound of vibration. Then I realize it's my phone. I notice Luke's name on the screen. "Yeah?" I pick it up. "Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up" he apologize. "Well, it's like 3am. What were you expecting me to do?" I say a little sarcastically. "Yeah, right. Sorry. I just wanted to hear your voice before I fall asleep. Anyway, I hope I didn't get you in any trouble" he says and I have to smile for myself. "Well, my dad was waiting for me and honestly, he was a little bit nosy" I say. "Well, my mum was waiting for me too" he says and I hear him laugh a little. "Oh, I hope you didn't get into trouble just because of me" I say and start to panic a little. "No, hey, it's okay, don't worry about me. Yeah, my mum was acting a little bit like a cop and asked me some questions, but she's a really cool person. It's just, I didn't tell her where I'm going and, this is just a little bit complicated. Maybe I'll tell you this another time. But I hope things are cool with your dad" he finish his short monologue. "Well, actually I don't think so. It's really hard to be daddy's little princess" I say and hear him giggle on the other side of the phone. "Daddy's little princess? Are you serious?" he asks and I know he has to do everything what's possible to not to laugh. "Yeah, shut up. I'm sick of it" I mumble. "Okay, just calm down. I think I will have to try really hard to impress your dad when I will meet him once" he sigh. "Yeah, I guess so. He's just... Uhmm, he just thinks he knows what's the best for me" I say and shrug, but he can't see me. "Yeah, I understand. Maybe we should go to sleep. I'm kinda tired" he says and I hear sound of yawning. "Maybe we should. I was sleeping anyway" I tell him and giggle. "Yeah, I know. Sorry. Goodnight" he says. "It's okay. Goodnight" I say and hang up.

AN: Hi, I'm sorry. I know it has been a long time since the last part, but I was pretty busy. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this part. :)
