Why Won't She Believe?

On My Way To Hell

Chapter 1: On My Way To Hell

            I tied my long red hair into a ponytail, the straight tail going a bit past my bra. I applied black liquid eye liner unto my eyelids and waited for it to dry. "Iona... The guys are gonna go now, do you want me to tell them to stay and wait for you or..." I heard Luke outside my door informing me softly.. "It's okay Luke, they wouldn't approve anyways" I replied sadly "You sure, I mean, we're still early we can-" I cut him off "Luke I don't feel in the mood for fighting right now, just let them be" I said calm but exasperated at the same time... He's always so good to me when... Well, five step-siblings on a same house don't work quite right sometimes.  "You're not naked?" He asked through the door and I laughed "No Luke, I'm just finishing my makeup" He opened my door and only got halfway through, smiling at me "I guess we can wait for you then, Iona" he winked at me and exited the room closing the door behind him. I can't believe him... I shook my head and looked at the mirror again.

Not that bad....

I looked down at the top of my middle sized drawer, fidgeting with my makeup bag, trying to open the zipper on the left which usually got stuck and I had to call Luke for help... Which I'm trying not to because I know that he is probably convincing Mikey, Calum and Ashton to take me with them, we're in the same school after all.

I heard a knock on my door and Luke popped in again "Guess who's coming with the bad boys?" He asked cockily, leaving the door half open but walking in, looking at my bag and laughing to himself. "Wait, who are you? Are you... The Luke Hemmings..... As in, the bad boy from our school's bad boy club!?" I asked sarcastically, he laughed and punched my shoulder, -although lightly, I felt it harder because... Umm... I haven't been eating well recently, I guess... Although my arms are pretty injured- I flinched but hid it as soon as it came, he kinda noticed but he let it slide, I could see it in his face... "Same old lame Iona I see" I laughed and punched his shoulder "Same old lame Luke aren't ya?" He laughed and sat beside me on the middle sized ottoman. "If I wait until you fix up that zipper, we will reach school on the afternoon. Give it to me, let me be your knight in shining armor" he joked but reached out for my bag, I willingly gave it to him and he started maneuvering with it "Luke..." I said oh so serious "Yes?" he asked without taking his eyes off the bag "Honey... To be my knight in shining armor... First you gotta be a knight... And where's the shining armor?" I said serious but at the end started chuckling altogether, he laughed and shook his head "Gotta love her don't I?" He asked to no one in particular and I laughed along with him.

He extended his hand with the bag and looked at me with the same look he always has when he's gonna give me my bag after he fixes it "If you close it softly, the zipper wouldn't be chewing the plastic fabric... In other words, it wouldn't get stuck honey" I laughed at his extremely sweet  tone on "Honey" as if to say "Stupid" and he laughed along before saying "Come on before the boys get... Difficult" he looked at me and smiled, stood up and went for the door, closing it behind him again.

I finished applying my black lipstick, and looked at my arms, which had my long sleeves hunched on my elbows. I lowered them quickly and prayed that Luke had not payed much attention. I stood up slipping my black short boots (A/N*the ones on top of the picture instead of the beige ones*) on after smiling at my random black(left) and red(right) cotton socks. I just usually grab whatever it is on my drawer, not really paying attention to what am I grabbing...

I reached the kitchen and saw my four step brothers sitting on the kitchen island joking around and laughing, Luke peeked around Mikey's arm and saw me, inspecting my outfit and my makeup "Well doesn't she looks rebellious huh?" Calum asked metaphorically to Ashton and he laughed as if he didn't even wanted to laugh.. Just a weird chuckle escaped his lips. "Are we leaving or not?" Asked Michael while Luke was intently staring at my eyes "Wait guys, Iona still needs her wakey" they scoffed and went out for the door, knowing better than to wait for the fight ahead.

"It's okay Luke, we're running late" I said trying to walk past him but he grabbed my right arm, pulling me back to him "We need to talk Iona" he said, his tone was deep and very, very serious. I instantly got nervous and tried to reach more lies on my reckless brain "No we don't" were the only three words leaving my mouth in a rushed whisper "Iona... I saw them... Those are not scars, those are fresh new cuts, maybe not more than a week honey... Aren't they?" his face fell and he took a hold of my arms, my left arm was more injured than my right one, hence why I didn't wince when he pulled me by my right "Luke we gotta go, if you wanna talk do it later" I said coldly but instantly regretting it, I looked around waiting for him to say something but he didn't. He just stared at me with a pained and weirdly at the same time poker face.

"Luke..." I tried to come up with something but he beat me to it... "Then you ask why are the boys so cold to you Iona... You want an advice sweetie? Look in the mirror first" he turned on his back and walked away. My eyes watered up and I regretted every single thing, every single time I pushed them all four away, Luke seemed to be the only one who was still trying but... I don't know if he has had enough with me... What if he hates me too? His words were like venom, but I know I deserved them.

"HEY DOLL ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?" I heard Ashton scream from outside, I breathed deeply, here goes nothing... "ON MY WAY" I simply replied.
