flashback

luke was sitting in his father's house, they were meant to be "catching up" but he was no where to be found. luke was bored so he decided to give his fiance a call.

at first, he was concerned when she wasn't answering, she always answers his calls.

but he was utterly confused when he heard her ringtone coming from his fathers bedroom.

he watched as she walked out of the room and answered the phone, not noticing he was sat nine feet away from her.

"hello?"

"mel," he said as he hung up. she look over at him, shocked.

"what are you doing here, lukey?"

"i should be asking you that same question."

"oh well you're dad told me you would-" she was interupted as luke's father walked through the door, eyes locked on his phone in his hands.

"baby girl, i'm home," he called out as he approached her and kissed her cheek, still not looking up from his phone.

"what the fuck is going on?"

"luke, i forgot you we were meant to, uh meet here today," his father said as he stepped away from melanie and finally looked up.

"clearly. maybe you also forgot that melanie is my fucking fiance? or are you actually cheating on me with my own damn father?"

"luke, you're father and i have been... close lately."

"close? i think we're a little more than close honey," andrew said, followed by a smirk.

"is this a fucking joke?"

"no, son, it's not."

"luke i'm sorry i just-"

"save whatever bullshit you're about to feed me. i'm done with you," luke said to melanie. "and for you, you son of a bitch, is this why mom left and hasn't contacted me since? does she know? how fucking dare you ruin our family!"

"me? i didn't ruin shit! it's all your idiot mother's fault! that drunk just wasn't cutting it as a wife anymore."

"you fucking asshole," luke growled as he launched himself at his father. he threw a punch at him the pushed him to the ground. "don't you dare talk about my mother like that you lying piece of shit! her son was killed and she was trying to cope. but you? you didn't do shit! you barely cared! no wonder she left you, not only are you a cheating dick, but you're heartless," luke screamed. andrew pulled him to the floor and started punching him. he shoved luke against the cabinets and gripped his neck, choking him.

"you're right, i didn't care when ben died. and i'm not going to care when you're dead in a few seconds either," andrew snarled as luke was gasping for air. he reached behind him into a drawer and pulled out a knife. he stabbed it through andrew's stomach. he fell to the ground and  luke dropped to his hands and knees with his eyes tightly shut as he gasped for air.

"andrew hold on," melanie sobbed as he sat next to him after calling an ambulance.

andrew hemmings was ruled dead.

luke hemmings was ruled innocent on account of self defense.
