That One Moment | Cake

1~ The Truth

LUKE's POV

I feel the crimson red blood ooze out of me as I slash the cool blade across my wrist. I let the tears fall loosely as I hear pounding at the door.

"COME OUT YOU LITTLE CUNT! IM NOT FUCKING DONE WITH YOU" he yells. I start sobbing uncontrollably, slashing the blade across my skin several more times until a hear a crash.

"You know what? Fuck you. I'm leaving. Ben and Jack were always my favourites" I hear him say before slamming the door.

I let my head rest against the wall watching my blood drip on the shiny tiled floor. My head starts spinning as the voices come back.

Keep cutting

Andrew was right

Why would he want you for a son?

Why would anyone want you for a son?

Your nothing but a worthless piece of shit

Look at you

Everyone hates you

Your family hates you

Your disgusting

My eyes start dwelling tears again before I swipe the blade across my arm. I cut my self until I can't even see my arm. My arm is covered in blood.

"LUKE OPEN UP!" I hear that one familiar voice yell.

I remain silent until he speaks again.

"LUCAS ROBERT HEMMINGS YOU BETTER OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR!" He threatens. I sigh Before standing up and unlocking the door. I turn on the tap and let the cold water run down my cuts.

"Luke" Ashton gasps opening the door and seeing my bloody blade on the floor followed by a pool of blood. I look down in Shame and close the tap. I find my cloth and press it against my cuts. I exit the room brushing past Ashton who stares at the floor.

"Luke, you know what I think about you cutting" Ashton sighs sadly.

"And you know my father"

"I'm sorry" he sighs. "Come on. At least let me help you get cleaned up"

I nod slightly as he grabs the gauge. He wraps up my arm and helps me up.

"Now. I have good news" he smiles. I hum in response. "Get changed" he orders exiting my room. I sigh and start getting up.

"Ready?" Ashton smirks. I shrug carelessly stepping out of his car. I decided to wear ripped up black skinny jeans, a blue and black flannel shirt to cover up my scars, and dark sunglasses to cover my swollen eyes. I put on my blue headphones and start playing 'the memory' by mayday parade. I make sure one ear is uncovered just in case Ashton talks to me.

I start walking behind Ashton through the airport until I suddenly stop. I feel a pair of eyes on me so I turn around but I just see a swarm of people walking around. I shrug it off but still feel uneasy.

CALUM's POV

"I just don't like the Color yellow" Mali says. I laugh at her hysterically.

"What? It's true" she smiles. Suddenly I see a guy walk past us. He's wearing a blue and white flannel shirt, black skinnes and dark sunglasses just like mine. He has a dirty blonde quiff and a lip piercing. Damn he's attractive. "Be right back" I say to my older sister as I start walking behind the attractive young male, keeping my distance. He stops and looks back but I crouch down just in time. That boy. There's just something about him.....

LUKE's POV

"Why are we even at the airport ash?" I sigh with a slight annoyance in my voice. He smiles at me without saying anything.

"What is up with you la-" I say before getting cut off by someone who hugs my waist from behind and spins me around in a circle. He sets me down and I turn around and see one of my best mates. I gasp and throw my arms around him and give a bone crushing hug.

"MICHAEL!" I laugh loudly pulling away. I look around realising I said that loudly and recive dirty looks from people. I start blushing and soon ignore them.

"I'm so happy to see you" I say happily not getting over the fact that he's really here. "How did Ashton- I thought- ok what's going on?" I stutter.

"My flight was supposed to come in two months but since me and Georgie spilt, I don't see why I can't come back and see my two best mates!" He smiles widely. "I told Ashton a week before today and told him everything. We wanted to surprise you"

"I can't believe it! I love you guys" I say hugging Ashton tightly and then Michael again. "Anything for you Luke" Ashton smiles.

CALUM's POV

I smile and bite my lip at the strangers cuteness hiding inside the crowd. I want to meet him. But what if he's got a girlfriend? Or a boyfriend? Suddenly the words of a wise women pop in my head.

'Don't assume that someone has a girlfriend/boyfriend because they are attractive. The person chooses them by what they see in them and how they feel about them'

I nod to myself remembering those words. I continue starring at that mysterious boy and think of a plan on how to meet him.

LUKE's POV

"Hey Imma head to Starbucks. You want anything?" I say asking Ashton and Michael.

"Nah I'm good"

"Same. But thanks" Ashton smiles genuinely.

I nod in understanding and walk to the little coffee shop.

"Hello sir. What would you like?" A women greets politely.

"I would like a medium caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino" I smile.

"What's your name?" She asks.

"Luke" I answer as a cute brunette boy walks up behind me with sunglasses identical as mine. Wait did I just say that? I move to the side and let the boy order.

"Hello sir, what would you like?" The lady repeats.

"May I have a small s'mores frappuccino?" He smiles showing his pearly white teeth that makes my knees weak.

"Of course. Name please?" She says.

"Calum" he responds. Calum. That's a beautiful name. I sigh quietly looking at Calum. Wait what? I'm not bi or gay. Or am I? I wouldn't know because I never had a girlfriend. Why would A girl go for me anyway? Look at me. Im hideous. No one would go for me. I feel something wet on my cheek and realise I was crying.

"Hey mate, you okay?" Calum asks supportingly placing his hand in my shoulder.

"Oh um yea" I flash a half heartedly smile. I knew he didn't care. He just did that cuz he wanted to be kind.

"No your not. That smile was fake" he pouts. Soon after, the women places our drinks on the counter and walks away. We both reach for our drinks at the same time and our hands touch sending shocks through my body. He blushes and grabs his drink.

"Wanna talk about it?" Calum asks sweetly.

"I don't wanna be a burden...." I trail off. I do want to speak about my problems but I don't even know Calum.

"Of course you won't. Come on" he smiles walking to a booth.

"Ok now spill" he says once were both seated.

"Not to be rude but can you tell me about you first? I don't completely trust you yet" I bite my lip nervously.

He laughs and nods. "Sure." He says as his laughter dies down. Fuck his laugh is just.....Oy.

"So what do you wanna know?" He smiles.

"What do you wanna tell me?" I smile back taking a sip from my drink.
