Moving On - Luke Hemings

Realization.

I wake up to a missed call and a voicemail from Luke. Wondering what was the matter, I listen to the voicemail right away.

"Ali, I know you're gonna be pissed at me once you get this, but hear me out. The boys and I have to leave today. By the time you get this, we'll already be gone. We have an emergency meeting with our management. I am so sorry I couldn't come to say goodbye, but they didn't give me any time. I'll be home as soon as I possibly can be. I love you,"

I sit in my bed, shocked to hear that he has left. I'm not all that surprised, though. He has a busy life, and this happens all the time. I'm surprised they were able to stay as long as they were, anyways. 

I contemplated calling him, but decided not to. He's probably really busy with stuff. Instead, I check his twitter to see if he's posted anything. 

There are a couple of new tweets:

@ Luke5sos:

Just landed back in LA!! Super stoked to see some of you guys!!

To everyone at the airport: I am sorry I left so abruptly and didn't get to meet all of you

People were saying really mean things about someone I love 

I didn't feel like taking that crap from you guys today

Thank you to everyone that is supportive, it means a lot xoxo

Immediately, I dial his number. I don't care if he's busy I need to see what they're saying about me.

"Ali, it's not that big of a deal," Luke tells me as soon as her answers the phone, not bothering to say hello because he knows I'm fuming.

"Luke what are they saying about me?" I ask quietly.

"Nothing that you need to know, love, don't worry about it," Luke says in a calming tone.

"Don't give me that bullshit. What are they saying,"

"I'm not telling you Alyssa, stop," he says, getting serious with me.

"If you don't tell me what they're saying, I'll find out on my own, don't underestimate me,"

"I'm not, I just don't want to tell you something that will just hurt your feelings,"

"I need to know, Luke, please," I beg.

"They just said I should drop you. We aren't good together. You're a bitch. A whore. They made up lies about you to get under my skin. It was working, so I left. But please know none of those things are true, okay? I love you just the way you are,"

"Is your emergency management meeting about me? How to keep the fans at bay because they don't like me?"

He pauses for a long time, and I can hear his breathing. I can practically see his gears turning in his brain, thinking of what to tell me.

Finally, after what feels like forever, he takes a deep breath and starts to talk, "Yes. But my management are all for you and I, they just need to find a way for the fans to like you. We are working on it. Once we have a good plan, I will let you know what is going to happen. As of right now, everything is blurry and we're still thinking. That's why I didn't tell you right away. I didn't have all the details. I have to go, they're yelling at me for being on the phone but I love you so much and I am going to fix this all, I promise,"

Before I get to say goodbye, he ends the call. This sort of thing brings back so many memories of when we were together and they first started to become famous. He was away all of the time and we could barely find time to talk on the phone.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to share him with the world. I wish I was a normal girl, with a boyfriend who is within reach, and only has to worry about sharing him with his buddies from school. But after thinking about that for some time, I realize that even normal girls with normal boyfriends struggle with the complications of having a boyfriend. 

There are so many things that have to go right in a relationship in order for it to work. I am now realizing that sometimes, there are so many things that can go wrong that make the relationship work.
