Falling for Luke Hemmings

Falling for Luke

Amanda's pov:
I woke up the next morning and got in the shower. Luke went back home late last night and it was time to get ready for our date tonight. I took a warm shower and then got into my robe and dried my hair. I put rollers in  my hair to curl it and headed back to my room.

I looked at my dress hanging on my closet door and heard my phone go off. •can't wait for tonight!• Luke texted. I responded back with •me too! <3•

I heard my mom call me from downstairs so I went down to see what she wanted. "Yeah mum?" I asked. "I think Luke sent you these.." She said handing me a vase with roses in them. My mouth slowly dropped open as she handed them to me. "Aww.." I said looking at them and then smelling them. "That's so sweet.. I wish Josh sent me flowers.." she said. I put the roses on the counter. "Do you really like Josh mum?" I asked. "Of course sweeite.. why wouldn't I?" She asked. "I don't know.. I just don't want you to do something that you don't want to because of me." I said. She smiled and walked over to me wrapping her arms around me. "Aww sweetie. Don't you worry okay." She said kissing the top of my head.

She walked over to the table and sat down. I sat down across from her. "So talk to me about Luke." She said. "Mum you know Luke.. we've been best friends forever now." I said. "That's best friends... I'm talking about boyfriend wise." She said. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Come on! I wanna hear it.." she asked in her girly voice. "Well.. he's sweet. He's caring.. and we are going on our first date tonight." I said. "Really?! Aww that's amazing sweetie! I'm so happy for you. I hope your date goes well." She cheered. "Yeah.. we went to the zoo yesterday. And then we talked to his band.." I said frowning. "Whats wrong?" She asked. "He's leaving for LA next weekend." I said. "Oh for how long?" She asked. "I'm not sure.. I was too afraid to ask." I said. She put her hand on my cheek. "Oh sweetie.. it's gonna be okay." She said. I smiled with the idea. "Could you let me go with them? After all I got Ashton in their band.." I said with a big smile. She frowned. "Oh honey.. I don't think so.. I'm sorry." She frowned. "Why not?" I asked. "Las Angeles? Its.. it's just too far." She said. "Are you scared I won't come back if I went?" I asked. She frowned and looked down at her hands. "Mum..  I won't leave you.. I promise. Ill come back to you I promise I will.." I said. Holding her hand.

She looked up at me with a slight smile. "Ill think about it." She said. "Yes! Thanks, Mum!" I cheered. "Now that doesn't mean a yes.. I said I'll think about it." She said. I nodded my head. I got up and kissed her cheek grabbing my roses and heading back up to my room. •thanks for my roses, lukie• I texted him. He responded with •no prob babe;) •

I slid on a black Polo t-shirt and a pair of regular skinny jeans. I left the rollers in my hair and went back downstairs to watch tv. "Honey do you want a sandwich?" Mum asked. "That's okay mum, I can make it myself. You don't have to." I said getting up to make myself a sandwich. "Amanda, there's something I want to talk to you about.." she began. "What's that?" I asked putting jelly on my peanut butter. "I talked to your dad.." she said. "Yeah?" I asked feeling nervous now. "I asked if he would ever return just to come see you. He said he left an extra plane ticket in his drawer in the dresser.." she paused. "Yeah?" I asked again. "Well I went to look for it and I have thought about it.. I was gonna let you go see him with Luke. I'm not welcome due to our divorce.." she said handing me the envelope.

I grabbed the envelope and starred at it. "Oh.. mum.. I-I don't know what to say.." I said. "Whenever Luke gets back from LA.. i-if you want.. you can go.." she said. I want to see dad, but now that I've grown closer to mum.. I  don't think I can leave.. I miss dad so much.. but I can't go to Germany without her.

"Mum I appreciate the call.. and I appreciate you looking for the ticket.. but.. I can't leave without  you.. I'm not going." I said. She let out a deep breath. "Oh thank God!" She said wrapping her arms around me. "I thought you would've left me.." she said. I walked over to the couch with her. "Mum.. I love you. And I love Dad but.. I belong here with you." I said. "I remember when you were little.. you and your dad always talked about traveling the  world together.. he would pick you up and carry you around like you were flying an airplane.." she said. "Yeah.. I remember." I said furrowing my eyebrows. "I always wished I had that bond with you.. I'm so sorry, Amanda." She said. "I'm sorry I wasn't there enough for you.." she said with tears falling down her cheeks. "Mum.. stop.. it's okay." I said pulling her into a hug.
