Wonderwall - Luke Hemmings AU

Chapter 3

Luke's POV

It was 10:50 by the time I got home from Lilly's, she begged me to stay but I already had a bunch of late assignments to hand in, plus the ones from today.

I sighed as I stepped through the front door. I hung up my jacket and slipped my beanie off, kicking off my vans in the proccess.

I knew Mum was home, the lights were on the fire was going.

"Hey Ma" I said walking into the kitchen. She was stirring something in a pot.

"Oh hello darling" she smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

"How was work?" I said, leaning against the wall.

Mum was a surgeon, so she wasn't always home, but when she was I didn't take it for granted.

"It was great darling, how was school?" she asked sweetly.

"Yeah it was good"

I went to open the fridge but was interrupted by a small "Ahem" I quickly glanced over to my Mum.

I smiled and slowly shut the fridge door.

"Go get cleaned up, dinners nearly ready, then I have some news to tell you" Mum said, pouring the contents of the pot into two bowls.

"Yes Mum" I groaned.

After my shower, I slipped on some sweats and a shirt, and made my way down stairs. Before I even got to the table Mum stopped me in my tracks again.

"You march right back up those stairs and put some socks on mr, we wouldn't want you getting a cold now would we" she said, pointing to the stairs.

"No cause that would mean staying home from school, and I just LOVE school" I joked, quickly running back up the stairs.

My room was pretty big. The walls were light blue and the floor was carpetted. I had a rather large walk in closet and my own bathroom. My walls were covered in posters, All Time Low, Blink 182, ect ect.

I rummaged through my draws, pulling out a pair of old, black rip curl socks I brought when I was 12, whilst walking along the strip in Bondi.

I slipped them on and ran down the stairs to join my Mum.

"You're what?!" I screamed, practically blowing my Mums head off.

"Honey it's only for a week" Mum said softly, trying to reason with me.

"Mum, you're talking about London. Like The UK, on the other side of the world" I said, my eyes and mouth wide open.

"Please Luke, it's for work. You'll be fine here by yourself"

"I know that Mum, I'm old enough to take care of myself, but it's bloody England for christ sake!"

"Watch your langauge young man" she replied firmly.

I sighed, folded my arms and sank down into my chair like a 6 year old who'd just found out he couldn't have Lucky Charms for breakfast.

"When do you leave?" I grumbled.

"Tomorrow morning"

"Oh great" I said, taking my half filled bowl to the sink and pouring it down the drain.

"Thanks for dinner, I'm going to bed. I'll see you when you get back" I mumbled. I gave her a small kiss on the cheek and stomped back upstairs and to my room.

When I was 14, my Dad died in Iraq whilst he was on duty. Mum was heart broken, I was just angry. Angry at the fact that he didn't take his leave when it was given to him, so he could come home to see us. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

I passed a photo of him hanging on the wall outside my door. Clenching my jaw at the sight, I walked into my room and slammed the door shut.

I jumped onto my bed and let out a heavy sigh. Shoving my headphones in, I pushed play and listened as the lyrics flowed through them and into my ears.

"Lost and insecure...you found me, you found me... lying on floor, where were you, where were you..."

Pulling a pillow over my head, I groaned loudly, letting sleep take over my body.
