Come Find Me || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 16: Screwing Up

*MADISON'S POV*

It's been one week since we came. It's actually really nice to not to get stressed about every day's routine. I feel so relaxed that after that one week. Currently I'm watching the sunset, while Luke is taking a shower in the bathroom. It's actually really great spending some with him alone. Without my nosy and overprotective dad, sneaky friends and super crazy fans. "Hey babe" I feel strong arms suddenly wrapping tightly around my body. I smile when I realize that it's Luke and calm down. "Hey, what's up?" I ask. "Stand up princess" he whispers in my ear. I raise my eyebrow, but stand up. He slowly turns me around and string kissing me. We're slowly moving around the terrace, me walking backwards, until I don't hit the glass door. "Be careful" he whispers in the kiss and I smile. He opens the door and leading me somewhere, still kissing me and I'm still walking backwards with no idea what's about to happen. Suddenly I feel my legs hit in to something. Then I'm falling slowly down until my back doesn't land on the soft material of bed's mattress. "I love you" Luke mumbles against my lips, while his hands are trailing under the fabric of my grey shirt. His lips slowly moving from my lips to my jaw and then to my neck. When he lightly sucks on a spot on my neck, I realize where this is heading. "Luke stop" I say almost out of my breath. It seems like he's ignoring me. He sucks on the spot more harshly, definitely leaving a mark there. I put my hands on his chest, pushing him away from me with all of my strenght I can find in me in that moment. I look into his eyes when I quickly stand up from the bed. Even when I know that he knows he crossed the line, my eyes getting start to fill with tears and I just run away from there. I know that once I will have to go back there, because that's the only place where I can go in this island. But not now. Now I want to be as far away from that place as I can be.

I literally kicked off my flip flops in the front of the house we were staying in, because it was impossible running in them. So now, I'm walking around the beach barefoot, kinda cold, and feeling so lost like I never did before. I look back just for a second, thinking about what happened tonight. I wonder why he would do that. He knew I wasn't ready for this. We talked about that since we got here. And then I fall down to the sand, because I bump into something. When I look up to find out what it was, I realize it wasn't a thing. It was a person. "Are you okay?" young boy asks me with an obvious Australian accent. "Yeah, I'm fine" I answer him nervously biting on my lip. "Are you sure? Did your boyfriend do something to you?" he asks and I straighten myself. How does he know I have a boyfriend? "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. We just came by the same flight. Why wouldn't I notice such a beautiful girl like you? And honestly, who wouldn't notice the world's superstar?" he explains and I raise my eyebrow at his last word. "You can't deny he isn't famous. I know that your relationship is none of my business, but I was just worried when I saw you alone. I mean, you look like somebody did hurt you. That sad look in your eyes says it by itself" he says and look in my eyes. I had a feeling like he's watching in the deepest place in the inside of my body. I look away. "What are you doing here anyway?" I ask, trying to change the topic of the conversation. "Me and my family came here for my sister's wedding. By the way, I'm Matt" he answers my question and introduce himself. "I'm Madison" I reply and shake his offered hand with a light smile on my face. "Nice to meet you Maddie" he says. "Don't call me that. It's just Madison" I warn him. "Okay, so Madison. We have a celebration of my sister's wedding. Do you wanna join us? I mean, only if you want" he invites me. "I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I don't even know your sister" I say ready to leave. "It's okay. Don't worry about that. She wouldn't mind it" he says and I nod, because honestly, I'm hungry and I'm sure the food is there as well.

*LUKE'S POV*

Fuck. I should go after her. But at first I shouldn't did it. I was acting like we didn't even talk about it before. She clearly told me that she thinks she's not ready to do it yet. I screwed it up. I screwed it up in the first opportunity I had. Now she could be anywhere. But sooner or later she has to come back here. She has her stuff here and we're basically stucked on this island. There aren't many places where she could be. Fuck. I still can't find the explanation why I did it or any excuse for the way how I was acting. I know I did hurt her. Even when I didn't want to or didn't mean to, I did. There's no way I can undo what I've done. I put on my flip flops and walk out of the house. I need some fresh air. Not that the house doesn't have a terrace, but I rather walk around and hope that I may find her somewhere. So I start to walk. And I walk and walk until I'm not on the beach. Then in the light of the moon I spot a couple standing there and at first I think I should probably leave them alone here and leave. But then I realize, that the girl looks familiar to me. And it hits me. It's her. And she's standing there with some other guy. I hesitate for a while. I can't decide if I should go there or not. I know she probably needs some time to get through what happened, but at the other side, I definitely don't like to see other guys around her. I know that probably she just talks to him, but anyway, he's a guy.

*MADISON'S POV*

I politely refused his offer to go to the wedding reception in honor of his sister's wedding, although the thought of the food was pulling me there like a magnet. So we just stayed on the beach and talking to each other. Just basic things, nothing too personal. Suddenly I feel strong arm wrapping around my waist and the hand resting on my hip. "Here you are" I hear familiar voice. I don't have to look up to see who it is. I would recognize this voice anywhere and anytime. "Yeah" I reply to him. And the moment of awkward silence. They're both staring at each other. "That's Luke. My boyfriend. And that's Matt" I introduce them to each other, although I know they would rather leave this thing. It's so obvious they already don't like each other. I don't know why, don't ask me. "Can we talk, please?" Luke asks me after few seconds, but it seems like it's forever. I look at him and in the moonlight I can see the fear in his eyes. I know what he is afraid of. He's scared that I'll refuse him, that I'll leave him. "Sure" I say. "Let's go back, I'm little cold anyway. See you later Matt" I wave to the boy, who I met today. "See ya around" he replies with a smile on his face. I see Luke giving him a look. "Stop that" I tell him. "What? I didn't do anything" he defends himself. "You're jealous. Don't be. You don't have any reason to be, so don't" I explain. "Listen" he says and pulls my hand and turns me to face him. I don't say anything. I'm just looking at him and waiting for him to say something. "I know I really screwed the things up today. I can't explain why I did it, I'm not gonna try to make a lame excuse of the way how I was behaving. The truth is I was an asshole and you have any right to be mad at me, because I really deserve it. But just don't forget how much I actually really love you. You know that, right?" he tries to apologize. I nod, because I know he didn't mean to hurt me. I know that he loves me. He made it so clear last week. "So?" he raises his eyebrows. And then he keeps moving them. Just like only he knows it. I burst into the laugh. "I'm sorry. Excuse me? What was that? I didn't hear the answer" he says and wraps his arms around my waist from behind me, resting his chin on my shoulder. "Apology accepted" I reply when I finally catch my breath. When I look at him, he presses his soft lips on mine. Then he pick me up on his arms and carry me to our house where we're staying.

AN: New part. Here you go. :)
