Luke

"Luke, how have you been?" My therapist asked me. I shrugged. "I don't know anymore, ma'am." I looked down. "Luke you have been depressed ever since your friend's mother came here." I rolled my eyes. "That was last month." I shrugged. "Do you need those anti depressants we talked about?" I thought about it then looked up at her. "Yes." She nodded standing up. "It's not just about Michael." I said. She looked back at me. "What else is it?" I looked down. "I miss Niall." She sighed. "Niall was never real." I nodded. "I know. I know. It's just I had him around for so long that it's weird to have him gone." She nodded. "It'll be okay, you'll get used to having Niall gone." I nodded. Then there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" My therapist yelled. The door clicked open. "I'm sorry, there's someone here to see you, Luke." My eyes widened. "They said it's important." I looked back at my therapist. "Come back later and we'll talk more." I nodded standing up.

"When do I get to see mom?" I asked my brother. He looked back at me. "I don't know." He said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "She might not be allowed to Luke." Ben said. I nodded looking back out the window.

"Who are you here to see?" The woman at the desk asked us. "Liz Hemmings." Ben said. The woman nodded. "She's in counseling right now. She'll be out in about 20 minutes." Ben nodded. "Come over here Luke." He said.

Ben and I sat there not saying a word to  each other. "Ben," I finally said. "Yeah, Luke." He said. "I haven't told you about something." He looked at me. "What's that?" He asked. I shook my head. "Never mind. I don't know what I was going to say anyways." Ben shook his head. "Luke, tell me." I shook my head again. "I'll talk about when we get home." He nodded looking away. "Hemmings family!" A person yelled. Ben looked up. He looked over to me. "Come on."

The counselor walked us to our mom's room. "Here we are." He said. Ben nodded. "Thank you." We walked in. She sat there her eyes were just starting at something that wasn't there. "Mom?" Ben said. She looked up her eyes were bloodshot. "My boys." She said reaching her arms put. "Come here." I walked over to her. She pulled me into a hug. "My baby." Ben pulled me back. "What are you doing!" She yelled to him. "We didn't come here to be all lovely dovey mom." Ben said. "Then what did you come here for!" She yelled. "We only came here because your counselor said you needed someone to visit you. And we can't stay for long." She nodded. "We'll just leave!" She screamed. Ben grabbed my arm. "Come on." He said. "Leave this bitch to rot here."

"Mrs. Clifford?" I questioned. She turned her eyes were bloodshot. "It's Michael." She said. I shook my head. "He's gone?" I said looking down. "No, Luke he's awake. He's alive." I looked at her. "He's alive." I smiled. "He wanted to see you."

"How's the last year been?" She asked me. I shrugged. "Hard. But I think everything's better now." She nodded. "I went to see your mom." I nodded. "She's looking okay." I shook my head. "She came to see me awhile ago and she didn't look great." She nodded pulling into the parking lot of the hospital.

"He's in room 256." She told me. I ran into the hospital. I ran down the hall trying to find his room. 235. 237. I turned down another hall. 256. I turned the handle to the door. "Michael!" I yelled. He looked over to me. "Hey Luke." Then another person turned around. I shook my head. "It can't be." I said. "Hello Luke."

Note: What. The. Actual. Fuck.
