Bandgirls // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 14

Bradley's POV

Hours of Luke singing. I was happy sitting here with him just talking about music.

"Bradley!" Carter yelled, "We should get headed home, it's almost 10".

"Carter, we should stay longer, I can call my parents".

"You wanna stay?" Luke asked.

"I mean if that's okay with you guys".

"Of course" all three said in unison. Well that kinda started our friendship.

__________________________

Time has passed *cue music*

2 days left. 2 days until I go back home. I've made Australia my home, I've made friends here, memories. I've spent 4 months here, and everyday was with my best friends. Carter was dating Calum now and my best friend was Luke. Carter was spending as much time with Calum as she could now, so I was sitting in "my room" packing my bags. I started thinking about Luke as I was packing. Luke had just started getting his band out there. They found a drummer and started making their own songs. Of course I listened to them all but in particular I loved try hard, mostly because Cal wrote it about Carter. I was humming the song as my phone started ringing.

"Hey Luke" I said picking up my cell.

"Hey Brads, Can you come over real quick I have something to show you?"

"OK I'll be right over".

I started walking to Luke's house as all my summer memories flooded though my mind at once. Luke was my best friend, he was there for me even when I was a total stranger. I would miss him so much, even thinking about it hurt my heart, he was amazing and I couldn't fathom my life without him. I love him. I'm in love with him. I'm In Love With Him.  Before I knew it I was running towards Luke house. When I was facing his door, now that's when I felt my heart in my throat. As I went to knock the door slightly opened. I went to peak in then saw Molly run out towards me. I quickly picked her up so she wouldn't run away. I didn't see Luke standing there because I was so wrapped up in petting his dog.

"Molly isn't the only one who's gonna miss you". I looked up to see Luke smiley down at us, but there was also sadness is his eyes. 

"Well I'm not gonna miss just Molly." I said while getting up to hug Luke.

"I have to tell you something Luke." I say trying to control all the emotions inside me. 

"I still have that thing to show you too."

"Oh right, well you first".

I walked into the home I've come to know like the back of my hand. I admired all the pictures of his family as we walked upstairs towards his bedroom. I plopped onto Luke's bed as he went to go get the mystery thing he had to show me. I laid down running my hands across his sheets for the last time. There were so many laughs shared on this bed, so many movie marathons, so many secrets, and in a days time they would all mean nothing. 

"Hey, I found it" Luke said sitting down next to me. I examined what he had in his hands. Luke had a big rapped rectangle in his hands, it was covered in yellow rapping paper with an orange bow on top, my favorite colors. Luke handed me the rectangle that I guess at this point was a present, I carefully grabbed my gift touching every corner of it. I started to pull the delicate rapping off piece by piece slowly showing the present inside. I ripped off the last piece of rapping only to be greeted by what looked like a scrapbook. Luke nodded as a signal to open it. I flipped through the pages seeing each one covered in pictures, but not just any pictures, but pictures from my whole summer here. I started to feel my eyes get puffy looking at all of the pages that were filled with my friends. 

"Hey, don't cry this was supposed to be happy" Luke said slightly laughing.

"They're happy tears, and sad ones. Luke I don't want to go" I said crying nonstop. 

"It'll be okay Brads, this isn't the end of us, we're the dynamic duo after all" Luke said pulling me into his side.

"Nothing better huh?"

"Sorry, I thought dynamic duo was good, I guess not.", that's when I remembered that I came here to tell Luke something too. 

"Luke, I uh have something to tell you"

"Okay, what is it Brads, you can tell me anything"

"I think I'm in love Luke". Once I told Luke his face dropped, well that didn't go as planned. I honestly though that he might of had mutual feeling, but he obviously doesn't. 

"Oh uh well that's great I'm happy for you"

"Luke I know you, you're not happy, why?"

"It's just... Brads, I have feelings for you and now I know the feelings aren't mutual and it sucks", idiot. I scooted closer to Luke and looked him in the eyes before kissing him. Luke was shocked by my extremely forward move, but eventually he smiled into it. I broke apart from Luke to look at him, and all I could see was his smile that quickly faded into a frown.

"Well, this is great timing" he said lying down on the bed.

"Like you said this isn't the end, we're the dynamic duo after all" I said lying down next to him watching his beautiful smile come back.  This won't be the end of us, I swear.

"Honey, it's almost time to go" I heard my mom say softly threw the crack in my door. I sighed grabbing my phone so I could send a text to the boys even though Carter probably already told Calum to meet us before we left. I got up and instantly regretted it, I was face to face with all my packed bags reminding me I was leaving in 4 hours. I couldn't handle this, just thinking about leaving everyone made me panic. I was about to unpack all my bags when I felt two arms wrap around my waist. 

"Hey Brads" Luke said kissing the top of my head.

"Hi" I said clinging onto him. This, this was the hardest part. How I could I leave him, the boy I love. I looked up at Luke, tears in my eyes.

"I don't wanna go Luke. I don't wanna leave you guys." I cried out avoiding Luke's gaze.

"Hey, it'll be okay, we'll never stop talking, I promise", and with that Luke stuck out his pinky. I joined my pinky with his and laughed. I spent my last hours with Luke, savoring everything he did. Time went by quicker than I could ever imagine, before I knew it I was walking down to the gate waiting for my flight. Luke, Calum, Michael, Carter, my parents , and I all were standing in the airport waiting for our flight to be called. I started to feel the tears again as soon as Carter reached for my hand. My parents went to go to the bathroom, which really was them giving us time to say our goodbyes. Calum and Carter said their goodbyes a little behind us, so they could have their privacy. Luke grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes, I could see the tears forming, which only caused me to start crying. 

"I love you Luke Hemmings" I said just as our flight was called signally Luke to wrap this arms around me and hug tightly. After Luke let me go, he immediately connected our lips, our tears in the mix. We parted as the final call for our flight was announced, but before I could leave Luke said,

"I love you Bradley Stevens, and I always will, no matter what".
