Without A Trace(Luke Hemmings FF)

Twenty

A/N: By the way, I forgot to add the picture of what Alice and Zoey wore to lunch with Mali on the last chapter, so I'll add it to this one. P.S., I'm changing who plays Alice. It is now played by Bailee Madison. Xx

Zoey's POV:
"Zoey!" He answers, clearly relieved that I called.

"Are you home?" I ask, not caring to give him what I know he wants, which is to talk about what happened earlier.

"No, I'm at Calum's with the guys. Are you wanting to talk about earlier?" He asks, anticipation lingering heavily in his voice.

"No, Luke. I don't want to talk about earlier. I have to study for my driver's license, so I was going to drop Alice off with you. I'm at your mum's house, but you're obviously not here." I shrug.

"Oh, do you want me to come pick you girls up and I can take you home?" he offers.

"No. Mali's still here. I'll ask her." I decline.

"Okay, baby. I love you." He says, but I don't reply. I just hang up.

"Where is he?" Alice asks as we walk back to Mali's car.

"Calum's house. Mali's going to drop you off there." I tell her and she nods.

...

We just pulled into Calum's parents' driveway.

"Are you going inside?" Alice asks me. I shake my head.

"No. I'd rather not be around Luke right now." I tell her.

"Are you and Luke still together or did you guys break up?" Mali asks. I shrug my shoulders.

"I don't know. I do know that I will never have sex and it's only a matter of time before he either dumps me because he wants to be with someone who will have sex with him or he cheats on me." I explain.

"Why don't you just go talk to him? Maybe you guys need to just find some common ground. Some leeway." She suggests.

"Yeah, plus I don't want to go in there without you. I don't know anyone in there except Luke." Alice says.

"You've met Calum, Ashton, and Michael. Remember? They saved us from Mark's house." I remind her.

"Yeah, but I don't know them." She frowns.

"Why don't I just walk you inside and get you comfortable, then I'll leave. I don't have to say anything to Luke." I suggest. She nods.

"I want to say hi to my parents anyways. I haven't been over for over a week." Mali says and we all get out of the car. We walk up the front porch steps and to the front door. Mali just walks in, so we follow her.

"Hey, Mum. Hey, Dad. This is Alice. She's a friend of Zoey's. She's staying with Luke." Mali tells her parents.

"Hi, Sweetie. I'm Joy and this is David. The guys are in the basement. Please, make yourself at home." Calum's mum smiles. I give her a smile and we walk downstairs to the basement. My heart skips a beat a little bit when I see Luke. I don't want to talk to him.

"Hey, Alice." Calum smiles at her. She stands there nervously.

"I don't remember her being that hot. What the hell!" Michael expresses loudly. I look at Alice and she nervously bites her bottom lip. I smile at her.

"Mike, she's 16!" Luke scolds and Alice smiles.

"So? That's only three years." Michael retorts.

"Okay, so I know you've met them before, but to refresh your memory, over there eating chips is Ashton, right there is Calum, and the one who's checking you out is Michael." I tell her. She waves awkwardly.
