Falling for Luke Hemmings

Falling for Luke

Amanda's pov:
After I got home from dropping Luke off at the airport and my current anxiety attack, I walked up to my room and shut the door behind me. Luckily I made it home safely and was able to get my thoughts together. I took a seat on the floor and leaned my back on the foot of my bed. "Just breathe." I whispered to myself. I didn't want to have another anxiety attack so I just tried to relax myself and get some air from the ac.

"Amanda?" A knock on the door sounded. It was mum coming to check on me. "Uh.. yeah?" I asked in a squeaky voice. "Are you okay?" She asked walking in. She noticed me sitting on the floor, so she came to sit with me. "Uh.. yeah I think.." I said trying to breathe. "Did it happen again?" She asked. I nodded my head and she wrapped her arm around me to comfort me. "Its okay, baby. Did you count to 10?" She asked. I slowly nodded my head and closed my eyes as I leaned into her.

Anxiety attacks were nothing new to me. I certainly wasn't a fan of them though. It all started when I was 12 and Luke and I were at the mall. I couldn't stand the crowd and felt my heart suddenly begin to beat fast. Luke told me that it was anxiety and I started freaking out. He was the only one that really knew how to control it. Mum always told me to count to 10, but with Luke it was different. He would make me stick my fingers in my ears to block out the sounds around me and then match his breathing.

This wasn't from a giant crowd though.. this was just fear itself of being alone.

I heard mum begin to hum in her soft low voice which then led to soft singing. Whenever I was upset as a little kid, mum would sing to me and everything would cool down. Half of the time, she would just make up random lyrics to sing and I would always listen.

I truly felt guilty for running out on her after every argument we ever had. I guess I get it honest though. Whenever dad was upset, he would get the car keys and go out for a drive then later come back and he and mum  would make up. When is dad coming home anyways??

I slowly pulled away from her embrace and looked up at her as she continued to sing. "Mum?" I asked. "Yes, darling?" She responded folding a stranded piece of hair behind my ear. "When will dad be home?" I questioned. A small smile grew on her face. "That's what I want to talk to you about.." she began. I nodded my head for her to continue and she did so. "I called this morning and he said he would be home tomorrow around 6:30 p.m." she finished.

I couldn't believe it. My dad was finally coming home for good this time. "And there's one more thing.." she said. "Whats that?" I responded. "He can stay with us. When I saw how upset you were after me telling you that he couldn't, I felt bad. I know you love your dad and so do I. I just want things to work out for us this time." She admitted.  I suddenly smiled big and pulled her into a tight hug. "Thanks mum!" I reiterated. "You're welcome, baby." She said in her happy voice.

I felt my phone vibrate and check to see who it was. It was Luke calling in for a facetime. "Can I take this?" I asked. Mum nodded her head with a smile and got up to walk out of the room. "I'm gonna get dinner ready." She retaliated and walked out.

I quickly pressed the accept button and Luke's face popped up on the screen. He was still on the plane. "Amanda?" He said. "Hey, Luke!" I answered. "Are uh.. are you okay?" He questioned looking worried. I nodded my head. "Yeah, I'm okay, Luke." I smiled. He sighed in relief and began to smile back. "I love you so much." He reiterated. "I love you to. More than you will ever know." I responded. "Once I get to the hotel, I will face time you again.. we just got to where we can have our phones so I wanted to call and see you." He admitted. "Just be careful okay?" I told him. "I will, babe." He retaliated. I felt better after talking to him. "Hey guess what.." I began. "What?" He questioned. "My dad is coming home tomorrow!" I announced. "Really? That's great babe! I'm so happy for you. Tell him I said hey." He cheered. I nodded my head and heard the lady tell them that they had to turn their phones back off. "I gotta go, babe. I'll talk to you later okay?" He said. "Okay." I responded and the call ended.

Luke's pov:
I was relieved to hear that Amanda was okay. I was so worried after I got on the plane. I couldn't focus right and my thoughts were getting the best of me. After talking to Amanda on face time I could actually breathe. She looked so cute on the screen as we talked. Her dad was finally coming home from Germany and I truly felt happy for her. Maybe things will change when I come back..

"Luke!" Michael yelled. "Huh?" I said snapping back into reality. "I asked if you could hand me that pillow.." he repeated himself. "Oh uh, yeah.. here." I said handing him the pillow. "This is going to be one long ride, boys.." Ashton said slouching in his seat. "But it will all be worth it in the end." Calum retaliated.

I looked out the window of the plane and watched as all of the clouds passed by. Everything looked so small from up here. "We are the kings and the queens of the town.. wait no. We are the kings and the queens of the.. " Ashton paused as he was working on a new song of ours. I started to get the melody stuck in my head. "What about city?" Calum asked. "Try new broken scene. Because Luke is having a broken scene right now." Michael blurted sarcastically. "Hey! That actually might work!" Ashton grinned. LA hurry up and get here!

Amanda's pov:
It was now 5:45 in the afternoon and I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen. "Hey, sweetie do you want to do something today? Maybe get out?" Mum asked sitting on the couch in the living room. "Like what?" I questioned. "Well we could go shopping.. maybe run some errands." She insisted. I nodded my head and went back upstairs to grab my phone and purse.

I didn't really care how I looked today. I wore a black hoodie with a pair of hot pink shorts and my sandals. My hair was tied into a ponytail and I was only wearing mascara for my makeup. I walked back down the stairs and waited for mum to get ready.

I saw that there was some mail on the table and one had my name on it. What's this?  "Okay I'm ready." Mum said grabbing her purse. "Mum, what's this?" I asked holding up the envelop. "Oh.. I opened up a savings account for you." She reiterated. "Why?" I asked in confusion. "So you can save money duhh!" She joked. "You want money for Luke's band concerts don't you?" She questioned. My eyes widened and a smile grew on my face. "Really?" I asked in excitement. I watched as she nodded her head and I ran up to her to hug her once more.

I was so happy that she would let me go to some of their concerts. Everything was coming together. Dad was coming home and I was beginning to feel somewhat happy.

"Thanks mum!" I said as my face was buried into her shoulder. "It was Luke's idea." She admitted. I pulled away from her with a smile still on my face. "Ready to go?" She asked. I nodded my head and out to the car we went. Everything's coming up, Amanda. Just hang on a little longer.
