She's Kinda Hot tho

Chapter 30:Plan B

LUKE'S POV:

Jealous? She's got to be joking. I stared at the door that she just slammed with my mouth hanging open like an idiot. I didn't exactly expect her not to believe me... this called for a Plan B.

I dialed Eve's number.

"Hello?" Her angelic voice floated through the wire.

"Hey, so my mum doesn't believe me about Gus." I sighed heavily.

There was silence on the other end. "Hello?" I prompted. Still silence. "Eve?"

"Luke... I don't know what else to tell you." She sighed heavily.

"Please come out." I said desperately. "For me. For my mum. For Sheila.."

"Luke, you know I can't do that so stop asking." She snapped. "Figure something out."

Then she hung up. Figure something out? Does she even know who I am? I sighed heavily in defeat and climbed the stairs to my bed. I could hear and obnoxiously nasty thumping in the room next to me and gagged at the thought of Jack and that chick shagging.

I needed to see Sheila. I needed to hold her in my arms. I needed to kiss those perfect lips. My body disagreed, apparently it thought I just needed sleep.

The next morning I realized I was 19 and that meant I didn't need permission to run away.

I stuffed a bag full of clothes and hopped on the bus headed to the heart of the city.

I called Ashton. "I'm skipping town."

"You're skipping town?" He repeated into the phone. "Guys Luke's going AWOL!" He called to whoever was with him (probably the other guys). 'Why what's going on?" He asked.

"Gus is crazy, Sheila's mum is still alive, mum won't believe me." I said all at once.

"Well shit mate. You've got your hands full." He commented.

"Yeah no shit." I answered.

"Well just don't be gone too long we need you here in a few days for recording." He replied.

"Yeah yeah. See yah." I said then hung up the phone. I loved that my boys always stood behind me. I walked into a hotel, handed them cash and found my room. I jumped on my bed with a smile plastered on my face. I was alone at last.

Next step: Get Sheila. I made it down town at approximately the same time mum had her doctor's appointment. Gus was driving her to it so I had just enough time to visit Sheila. I was walking down the street to her apartment when I saw Sheila coming the opposite way.

She had a hood over her head and was staring at the ground, clearly trying to appear unrecognizable. But I'd recognize her anywhere.

"Hey!" I called to her and she looked up at me with a beautiful smile.

"Luke!" She practically yelped. "What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I was coming to see you.." I smiled. "What are you doing..?" I asked, glancing at the bag she had slung over her shoulder.

"I am running away!" She exclaimed. "Looks like you're doing the same thing." She laughed.

"I am." I smiled proudly. "Want to run away together?" I asked with a playful quirk of an eyebrow.

"I'd love to." She giggled, following me back to my hotel room.
