Relapse (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 2. Moving day

~~~~Nicole's POV~~~~
__4 days later__
I was just watching TV then I heard my phone start buzzing. I knew it was a call because it continuously buzzed in a loop.
"Hello," I answered seeing the caller ID read Luke with little heart emojis.
"Guess what day it is," Luke says cheerfully, almost sounding like a teenage girl.
"Luke, I'm dating a guy not a girl," I chuckle, "and what day is it?" I asked smiling.
"Hey! Since you said that you actually have to guess," Luke tells me. I could tell he was pouting from the tone of voice he used.
I rolled my eyes and said, "umm, Saturday?" I said more in a question than an answer.
"No," Luke laughs, "today... Is... Wait for it... Wait for it... You still have to wait for it," Luke teases.
"Luke, please tell me I don't like suspense," I pleaded. This time I was pouting a little.
"Awe babe, it's moving day," Luke exclaims. It sounded like he threw his phone because after he said that I heard a crash and curses from Luke.
I then hear a sigh and Luke saying,"it's not broken."
"You okay there?" I ask him raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, perfect. I'll be over in 10 minutes be ready!" Luke tells me following that up with a quick I love you.
I set my phone down and bring my bags down stairs.
"I forgot to ask: where are you moving to?" Michael asks me while on my 3rd and final trip down the stairs.
"Oh just two neighbor hoods over from here, not far," I explain to him attempting not to fall down.
"That's good cause I don't know what I'd do without my Nicole," Michael says to me making me smile.
"Awe thanks, I wouldn't try to move far away from my unnatural red head," ha I had to burn him.
"Wow mean today aren't we," Michael laughs.
"Maybe," I laugh, "but don't worry I'll come around on random visits to hang out," I tell him.
"Okay, few, I thought I'd have to hunt you down and drag you back over here to hang out," Michael jokes laughing a bit.
"Ha no," I tell him. Soon enough I hear the a knock on the door. I look towards the direction and back at Michael. "I'll see ya Mikey," I said hugging him. This guy is literally my favorite. I just don't tell Luke that.
"I hope so," Michael said hugging me back.
Soon enough we let go when Luke knocked on the door again.
I rush over to it to be greeted once again with a smiling Luke. This guy I swear.
"I got your stuff Nicole," Michael tells me.
"Thank you Michael," I thanked him speak walking out the door and into Luke's car.
Luke helped Michael put my bags in the trunk and one in the backseat. Soon enough Luke and I were on our way to our new place.

On the way I accidentally fell asleep so before I knew it I was waking up in a new parking lot with Luke. "I already paid most of it off so we don't have to worry till utilities come in next month," Luke informs me while hooking the new house key onto his key chain. In response I just nodded. Soon enough I found myself pushing out of the car and dragging two of my bags in.
"Do you just wanna sleep on the floor and get the furniture tomorrow?" luke asked me. I guess he noticed how tired I was.
Since I don't talk much I nodded my head yes and started digging through one of my bags which have my bed sheets and pillows in. I then made a pallet for Luke and I on the floor. Soon enough we laid down and I drifted off to sleep in Luke's arms. I felt safe.
__next day__
I wake up and checked my phone. It was 9:43am and I could smell toast and I think jelly. For some reason I felt revolted by the smell. Avoiding the kitchen I went into the half bathroom to brush my teeth.
Yuck I look like I've gained a billion pounds- ugh I'm so fat... again. I thought to myself taking my toothbrush and putting the toothpaste on it and started brushing my teeth. Ew, you can see the weight gain in my face too. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to recover. For some reason those thoughts keep on coming, one scarrier than the other. I didn't know why I was letting myself think this way either.
Before exiting the bathroom I quickly brush off the thoughts and greeted luke in the kitchen. "Good morning," Luke sings. Well someone's obviously happy. "Good morning," I say yawning.
"I made breakfast so help yourself," Luke tells me smiling. For some reason he acknowledgement made my stomach flip and made me want to puke. "Oh, um, sorry I'm not really that hungry," yes I am, I'm starving," I'll eat some when we get back from furniture shopping," no I won't. Why am I thinking like this again? I ask myself.
"Okay, if you're not hungry then you're not hungry," Luke tells me. No Luke I'm lying!
"Okay thanks," I thanked him even though I shouldn't have.
After Luke finished his food we hopped into his car and drove off to the furniture store.
__Later in the day__
I guess I kinda got carried away because before what seemed like only minutes took hours. I felt bad afterwards for Luke because his feet started hurting and I questioned him.
"Sorry I thought that only took 30 minutes not 5 hours," I apologized.
"It's okay, once we get everything settled I can lay down for a bit and take a nap," Luke informs me. A nap actually sounds really good right now. I didn't realize how tired I was until Luke mentioned a nap.
"Yeah, now that I think about it I'm tired too," I tell him but more so me speaking my thoughts instead of just nodding in agreement.

Luke and I couldn't hold our eyes open by the time we got home so we immideatly lay down on our pallet we made for last night and slept for the majority of the day. Well I slept for the majority of the day, when I woke up I heard Luke upstairs.
"I'm sure he's putting one of the beds together," I mutter to myself getting up and walking up the stairs. "Yep," I confirmed when I saw Luke struggling to put the mattress on the bad frame. I guessed he heard me because he looked up in my direction and gave me a warm smile.
"I actually thought that I was more exahsted than you, guess I was wrong," Luke laughed looking back down to make sure he's not going to mess something up.
"I didn't know I was that tired actually," I laughed walking over to Luke, "do you need any help?" I asked him.
"If you wanna help," Luke said. "Ah," Luke all of a sudden jerks his hand hissing at the pain.
"Yeah, I'm going to help you," I told him grabbing the bottom of the mattress, ready to push it once Luke razes it onto the frame.
"Thanks," Luke thanked me once the bed was finally a bed.
"No problem," I answered and grabbed my skit case with my bed sheets in them. I wouldn't classify them as girly or boyish because it's just light blue sheets with a lime green and light blue comfiter.
Once the bed was made I plopped myself on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
Wait, did I not eat today? Hm, weird, oh well Luke didn't notice so I won't get a lecture.

Hmmm, something seems a little off with Nicole.
Lola anyways this is just the beggining of something this is just the gist of what's gonna happen soon.
Sorry if this is kinda touchy stuff for you though, I'm not excited about an eating disorder that could potentially take over and kill you- I'm excited because I finally had a good book idea is all.
Anyways I hope you liked this chapter.
I'll update soon.
