On the Road Again || Luke Hemmings

Part Twenty-One

My alarm went off once again and i quickly reached my hand out and turned it off. Its the start of the second week of school and im already over it. Either is senioritis already kicking in or the fact that i havent seen Luke in 12 days. Yeah i talk to him on the phone and he texts me constantly but i miss being in his presence. I miss his long arms pulling me into his chest when we cuddle. Or when he hugs me from behind and rests his chin on top of my head. Or the way he giggles when i kiss his nose. I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled myself out of bed to get ready. I checked my phone real fast and found my usual 'good morning i miss you i love you' text from Luke. I smiled and set my phone down and proceeded to continue my usual morning routine.

I walked into school and everyone looked, well, miserable. I guess the hype of the first week ended quicker than i thought it would. I sighed and pulled out my phone as i walked over to the alcove. No new messages. I furrowed my eyebrows together and rolled my eyes. Why isnt Luke texting me back? I slid my phone back into my pocket and looked up at my friends. They all looked so happy. Fuck. I wish i was happy. I decided to go over and talk to my friend Tom but was rudely interupted by the bell. I cant catch a break today can i? Everyone began piling into the hallway to go to class. I followed the crowd then broke off when i got to the band room. All of my friends stand outside of there before they go to class in the morning so i went over to them. "Hey." I said but no one looked. Maybe they didnt hear me? "Hey." I said again, this time a little louder. And yet, still nothing. I groaned and walked over to Jacob. "Can we go to the art room now? Please? I need to talk to you." I asked and he nodded. The walk began silent until Jake spoke up. "So whats wrong?" He asked, looking down at me. "I miss Luke." I mumbled. "And to make it even worse he isnt answering me! Ive texted him like 10 times already Jacob. I dont understand what the fuck is going on." I said, my voice breaking at the end of the sentence to stop myself from crying. Jake draped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me into his side for a small hug. "Its okay Amanda. Im sure its nothing bad. He's probably just busy. I dont know. I know he isnt ignoring you on purpose. Theres no way." He said and i nodded, feeling to littlest bit better. I sighed as we got to the art room. Jake opened up the door and we both walked inside, saying a quick hello to our teacher before grabbing our art projects from the cubby. I walked over to our table and set my project, Jacob following close behind. I pulled a pencil out of my bookbag and sat down with a loud huff. Jake looked over at me and gave me a sympathetic smile. "Dont worry Amanda. Everythings going to be okay."

I decided to sit by myself during lunch. I really didnt want to be bothered today. I sat down at an empty table, receiving weird looks from people, including some of my friends but i just shrugged it off. I picked up one of my chicken nuggets and popped it in my mouth. I felt my phone buzz and i frantically pulled it out if my pocket. I instantly smiled when i saw what it was.

From Lukey🐧💋:
hi baby! im so so sorry that i didnt answer you earlier. we just had a ton of interviews and stuff and they made us turn our phones off. im sorry penguin :-( but hey! dont worry, im free now and im totally calling you after school later. 2:30 sharp. i miss your voice too much to wait even a second longer to hear it xx

My smile grew bigger and i typed a quick message and continued eating. I felt the table move a bit and looked up at my friend Mike. "Well you look a lot happier than you did earlier." He stated as he sat down and i laughed. "Oh most definitely."

The final bell rang and i tried my hardest to get to my car within a 3 minute timespan, but i knew that wasnt going to happen. I was shoved left and right like always but i still pushed through the giant crowd of teenagers, all eager to get out of this hell of a school. I heard a few friends say bye to me but i didnt have time to talk. I just waved to them and pushed open one of the doors at the front of the school. I ran to my car and as soon as i unlocked it my phone started ringing. I sighed in relief and pulled it out if my pocket, pressing the answer button. I placed it next to my ear and heard Lukes cheerful voice. "Hi sweetie! How was your day?" He asked and i smiled, hopping into my car and putting the key in the ignition. "It was okay i guess." I said, starting up the car and pulling out of the parking lot. "I missed talking to you this morning thats for sure, but other than that it was alright." "Baby im sorry i couldnt answer you this morning. We had a lot to do today." He mumbled. "Luke i told you its okay! I promise." I said, trying to emphasize any bit of happiness in my voice that i could. "Good. So guess what?" He asked. "What?" "I miss you." He whispered and i sighed. "I miss you too Luke. So much. When are you coming home?" I questioned, turning onto my street. "I dont know baby, it shouldve been today but we have so many interviews and photoshoots and everything. It sucks." He grumbled. "Yeah i know. It really does." I said as i pulled into my driveway. "So are you almost home? You know how i feel about you on the phone and driving." He said sternly and i giggled. "I know Luke. And i just pulled into the driveway. Dont worry okay. Im safe." I laughed and grabbed my bag off the passenger seat and turned off my car. "So where are you guys now? It sounds really quiet." I said and got out of my car. "Oh. I uh, im in the bus. The boys are all out. Im the only one here." He sighed. "Awh Lukey im sorry." "Its okay cutie. It just means i have more time to spend with my favorite girl." He said happily. I smiled to myself as i unlocked my front door. "I really wish you were here with me Luke." I mumbled and pushed the door open. I threw my bag in its usual spot and looked up. I stopped dead in my tracks when i saw the tall figure before me. "Luke." I whispered and he smiled softly at me. "Looks like your wish came true."
