Finally (A Luke Brooks Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

29th November

9:34am

 

I rose my arms above my head and punched the table leg

 "Ouch!" I grumbled.

I sat up and gazed around the room. I could see everyone still asleep in the Living room. I could still hear Luke snoring softly. It looked like I was the only person awake. I stood up slowly. My hip bones crunching as I did so. Sometimes I felt so goddamn old! I carefully trod over several sleeping bodies dotted over the floor.

   Beau was hugging James and Daniel was hugging Jai. Becky had fallen asleep on the sofa and looked ten times more comfortable than anyone else. Except Luke and I, we were actually smart enough to set up a sleeping arrangement.

   I headed to the kitchen and poured myself some water and gulped it down quickly. I tiptoed upstairs and had a wash blah blah blah.

After doing all of the necessities, brushing my teeth ect. I got changed into my most favourite outfit ever. I'd left it at Becky's ages ago. She wanted to borrow it for something. I can't remember.

I wasn't even sure if I'd still fit into it. I swear I'd put on so much weight since becoming friends with the boys. Their diet was so unhealthy, and it didn't help that I would often comfort eat whilst pouring out my boy problems to Bee…

Enough about me getting fat, I tugged my torn up skinny jeans over my butt, pulled on some black fluffy socks covered by Becky's yellow Doc Martens. She wouldn't mind.

I wandered around in my plain black bra trying to find my Batman jumper. I dug around in Bee's folded clothes trying to find it. Just as I was about to cheer as I found the jumper the door swung open. Crap. I was currently semi naked.

 "Oh. Uhm. Sorry!" It was Luke.

 I could feel my cheeks burning I quickly tugged the jumper on and spun around to see Luke facing the wall.

"You're safe to turn around now" I said. I felt rather embarrassed. But hey.

He turned around and wouldn't stop apologizing.

****Luke's POV****

I can't believe I walked in on her and she had no top on! Talk about awkward!

I couldn't stop saying sorry. She looked so embarrassed. As soon as she put her jumper on I walked over and hugged her.

"I'm so so so so sorry. That was really awkward huh?" I laughed light heartedly. Hopefully that would make her feel better.

She was a little bit shorter than I was, by maybe 5-ish inches? I rested my chin on the top of her head. I can't even remember why I came up here. Well I knew I wanted to talk to Courtneigh, but I couldn't remember what I wanted to talk about…

I slowly pulled away and sat on the end of Becky's bed. I'm assuming it was Becky's bed anyway. I'd never actually been in this house before yesterday so... Haha

I  looked at Courtneigh who seemed to be nervously playing with the sleeve of her jumper. She was looking everywhere besides me. Have I done something wrong? Have I pissed her off by walking in without knocking?

 "Court, Are you okay?" I asked staring at her. She quickly glanced at me then out of the window.

"Court. Answer me." - "Please?"

 "Huh? Oh, yeah, Just a little bit embarrassed." She laughed a little.

 "Should we get going to your house now?"

 "Yeah. Sure."

 I stood up and stretched. I hope this isn't going to be a long day.

~~~~At Courtneigh's house~~~~

"Mum!" Courtneigh yelled. Her accent always seemed to grow stronger when she was with her mum.

 "In the kitchen, pumpkin" Her mum yelled back.

 We made our way to the kitchen. I sat on a kitchen stool while her mum silently continued peeling vegetables.

 "Mum I forgot to tell you. Luke reminded me actually; but like a few days ago. Actually that's a lie. It was a couple of weeks ago a man knocked and asked about you. His name was uhm, mitchel? No um, " She said uncertain if she'd gotten the name right.

  I saw her mum instantly tense up.  "Martin? Was his name Martin?" Her voice was full of panic, urgency, uncertainty, anger. The List goes on. I don't know why but I started to worry about Courtneigh's safety. Was she in any danger?

  "Courtneigh, if he ever comes here again. You must NEVER open the door to him. Do you understand? From now on, you will always check the looking hole first. You remember what he looks like yes? If he comes here again you call the police immediately." Her mum looked at Courtneigh desperately.

  "Sure? Why exactly?"

 "Not now. I'll talk to you about it later."

 Her mum quickly got back to peeling the veg.

 I wonder what that was all about?

A/N: Omg. I'm so chuffed that my laptop screen got fixed, I swear I almost cried! Haha. I know this chapter sucked so much :( I feel it was really rushed but I needed to update and shit. The next chapter is definitly more interesting >;) Also I'm busy trying to write two other stories besides this one and I'm really struggling!

(Also I'm changing the layout a bit. I'm taking away the chapter titles and I'm going to delete the other a/n and stuff :))
