Fairytales Don't Exist (Luke Hemmings Fan fiction)

Things Were Said

*Mikayla's POV*

I had asked Luke to take me to our shared room so I could read my book. 
I was alone, reading my book, listening to ATL, Green Day, Mayday Parade, etc. when Michael came in.

"I'm busy." I said, not looking up from my book. 

"Yeah, well it's later." He shut the door. 

I sighed as I marked my place and closed my book. I looked at him.

"What's so important?" I asked. 

"What happened to your arms?" His question caught me off guard.

"What?"

"Your arms, they're all scratched up. I saw them yesterday. Why are they all scratched?" He was onto me. I panicked.

"My uh cat uses me as a scratching post. Well he did anyways, that was until the accident happened." I sighed.

He raised a brow. I could tell he was skeptical and had a look on his face that said he wasn't sure he believed me. 

"My cat's name is Bear. I swear ask my mom or Cait." I looked him straight in the eyes. I hope he couldn't tell I was nervous.

"Yeah ok."

"Now can I please continue reading, alone?" 

"Fine." He left. 

"Shut the door!" I shouted. 

As I opened my book. 'Therapy' by All Time Low started playing. I thought about how pathetic I was. My life was in pieces and falling apart more and more everyday. I let out a deep heavy sigh. 

Luke must really hate me sometimes because I'm so annoying. I'm always upset and depressed. I know I'm always waking him up in the middle of the night. I picked up my phone. I stared at the picture of my mom and me, back when my life wasn't so bad. We were all at Luke's house for a barbecue. It was the night before the boys made it big time. When they were just 4 boys doing small gigs and uploading YouTube covers.

Luke was the one who took the picture. I remember we had a massive water gun battle. It was adults (parents) vs. us (the offspring). 

The flashback started. 

I had brownish brunette hair, no piercing and scar free. I wore a purple and black bikini under a pair of shorts and a Pink Floyd t-shirt. Luke's older brothers wanted to be on the adults team but they stuck him with us. 

We had so much fun. Luke and I had a hard time with not getting found because we couldn't stop giggling and laughing. 

Then it became every man for themselves. Luke and I shot everyone including each other. 

Then later on we did chicken scratch fights in the pool. Luke and I were on the same team. 
He got on my shoulders and fought Michael and they both fell off. 

I smiled thinking about the fun times we used to have together. 

Then the flashback changed to the day they left. We were at the airport and I was crying because my 4 idiot best friends were leaving and I didn't know when they would be coming back. I remember Luke hugging me and telling me how much he would miss me. 

I continued smiling. 

"Mickey? Mimi you in there." I was caught off guard by Luke who was standing the doorway.

"Huh?" I jumped. He laughed a little. 

"Thinking?" He raised an eyebrow with a smile. 

"Yeah."
