Out of my Limit - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 13

Aimèe's POV

"Wake up darling!" dad said. 

I slightly brushed a strand of hair off my face. His fingers went over my cheek and I started giggling. 

"Daddy, I'm not 7 anymore!" I slowly woke up and opened my eyes. The last thing I remember was Luke lying next to me. 

"Where's Luke?" I asked my dad. He nodded towards the stairs. I guess it was a "downstairs". I got up from the bed and immediately started shivering. I grabbed Luke's jacket from last night which hang over my stool.

"Morning Aimèe!" Luke said in a nice voice. 

"Hi" I just said. 

"Wow, someone's not a morning person?" he asked me, laughing. 

"Nope" I said, popping the "p". I grabbed a bowl and took some cereals in it. I went over to sit next to Luke. He tried to kiss me but I pulled back. 

"Morning breath" I said as an excuse. He giggled and started eating cereals too. All you could hear was crunching and mumpfing. Soon my dad went into the kitchen, looking at us. 

"Weird" was all he said. Why? Hmm, doesn't matter. 

"So Aimèe, when will the competition start?" he asked me. I tried the thinking-face. He only laughed in response. 

"What day is today?" I asked daddy, making sure I'm not irritated with the date. 

"23rd of June, so it's the competition day." 

"Shit." was all I said. I ran upstairs and put my figure skating dress out. I remembered that dad asked me when it'll start, so I shouted "4pm!" downstairs. Soon I heard footsteps coming up from behind and a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. 

"I bet you're doing great today." the voice said but I didn't bother to turn around. 

"What time is it?" I asked Luke. 

"2pm" Luke said, quite pissed. 

"See, I'm sorry Luke. I'm just in hurry. My coach is going to kill me if I'll be late. Don't be mad at me, Lukey! I know you can't." I said, the last sentences teasingly. 

Luke chuckled and said "It's alright love". 

"Fine, so please give me my skates." he sighed but did as I told him.

~ 4pm ~

"Ladies and Gentlemen!

I'm proud to introduce the great Aimèe Baker. She won silver twice at the worlds ice-skating cup and gold once at the international cup. Please give her a warm welcome." the station-man said and I went onto the ice. We got here just in time. All the boys where here - Calum, Mickey, Ashton, Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, Louis and Luke. 

They held up a "You rock Aimèe!" sign up. I chuckled. How immature those boys could be.

"She's doing her performance to a song called 'Heartbreak Girl'. It's sung by an Australian band, 5 Seconds of Summer. Go on, Aimèe!"

The music started to play. Everything went quiet. I got lost inside my mind. Everything that counted was the ice and me. I did my slow moves in the beginning, but when it came to the refrain, I started doing piourettes and saltos, mixed with some dancing moves.

The performance was over and the crowd cheered.

"So I'm happy to announce that the winner is .... Aimèe Baker!" the speaker shouted and I went onto the ice again. I took the medal and the bouquet of flowers. He shook my hand and as he did the jury.

I got off from the ice and were hugged by my coach and the team. 

"You were great!" my coach said. I smiled at her and she blinked twice as if she didn't want a tear to escape.

"Where is she?" I heard a voice. Luke. 

"I'm here!" I screamed, running towards him. Funny. Running with skates isn't the easiest. I jumped into his arms and he hugged me tight. 

"You were amazing!" he told me. I looked up and into his eyes. I could tell something wasn't ok. 

"What's up?" I asked him with a worried expression on my face.

"Well." he said, looking away and avoiding my gaze.

"We're sorry, but we have to get back to Australia in a few days." Ashton said instead of Luke.

I looked at him.

It felt like someone had just thrown a big and fat knife into my heart.
