His "Accomplice" (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter Two

  "Could you tell me where you want me to take you?" I ask trying to keep my voice from shaking. You know I've been in a lot of strange situation but never like this. I glance at him noticing him running at hand threw his blond hair. 

  "Shut up" He says pulling a bag out from his backpack.He opens it revealing a bunch of money. I slam my foot on the brake. "What the fuck are you doing?" He shouts.

  "This may sound like a stupid question and we are probably gonna break out in laughter after this when you say no. Did you rob Walmart?" I ask. Calm down Grace there has to be a reasonable explanation for this maybe its pay day?

  "No I just carrying bags full of money and jump in people's car" He snaps. "Of course I robbed Walmart now drive the car"

  "How about you take the car? I'll just leave" I move to open the door when he grabs my wrist pulling me back.

  "It's too late you already know what I look like and you driven the getaway car You're my accomplice now start the fucking car" I quickly start the car again resisting the urge to scream. Can this day get any worse?

  "Turn left" I turn the car quickly glaring up at him. Is this how I'm gonna die? Because I haven't finished watching Gilmore girls.  "Stop" I stop and a house that doesn't look that bad. He gets out of the car. Alright this is my chance I start to drive but he steps in front of the car causing me to halt to a stop. "Try something like that again and I will kill you" I step out of the car as he hold out his hand.

  "What?"

   "Keys" I roll my eyes and drop the keys in his hand. He grabs my wrist dragging me into the house. Right when I walk in a see a guy with  eating Oreos on the couch laughing at the T.V.

  "Luke How did it- Who is this?" The guy says talking another bite of his Oreas. His hazel eyes land on me. "I'm Ashton want a cookie?" He says holding the bag out.

   "Don't give her our names Idiot I made her drive the car. The police we're coming Michael messed up and lost his car keys." I turn my head. Michael? Walmart Michael? Nah come on Grace theres more than one Michael in San Diego. 

  "So what are we going to do with her?"

  "You could let me go?" I ask hopefully maybe Ashton is more reasonable than Luke?

  "Do you know when to shut up?" Luke growls grabbing the bag of oreos from Ashton shoving a handful in his mouth.

  "Nope I don't wait that was a rhetorical question wasn't it?" I mentally face palm myself. Its not a really good idea to get the guy who could kill me right? "I will shut up now" Luke groans as Ashton laughs.

  "We can't kill her she's to funny" Ashton says causing my eyes to widen. So killing was an option?

  "Are we supposed to play fucking house with her then Ashton?" Luke says rolling his eyes. "You know as soon as she gets a chance to tell someone she will and I would rather not go to jail again" Jail what the heck? For what? Oh god what if he killed someone what if I'm next? Shut up Gracie I think looking down at my fingers.

  "Maybe she won't?" Ashton says. Alright How can Ashton be a criminal? He seems sweet.He leans against the wall turning slightly pale.

  "Ashton did you take your medicine?" Luke as leading him to the couch. Wait Ashton's sick? Really Grace you're showing concern for criminals?

  "I may have ran out?" Ashton says smiling softly at me. "I have a rare medical condition" He explains to me. "It's not life risking well it is if I don't take my medicine" He says laughing slightly

  "Why didn't you fucking tell me? I'll be right back Shit um watch the girl" He says grabbing a handful of money from the backpack and runs out. 

  "You wanna watch T.V?" Ashton asks moving slightly so theres a spot on the couch. Don't do it Grace. But Gilmore girls? I nod sitting down next to him.

  "What do you wanna watch um wait what is you name?"He asks tilting his head slightly.

  "Um"

  "Its alright you can tell me I'm not gonna kill you" He says winking at me.

  "Grace and Gilmore Girls" He nods going onto netflix.

  "You know Luke's not as bad as he seems" Ashton says looking down at me. 

  "He took me and my car" I say slowly.

  "He  only did it cause he had no other choice he really doesn't like getting people involved."

  "He threaten to blow my brains out" Ashton laughs shaking his head.

  "I doubt he would of done it he just likes playing the tough guy" Well it didn't look like Luke was joking when he said.  

  "Why do you guys do it?" I ask. Did I really just ask that? "You don't have to tell me" I add quickly.

  "No it's fine you should know since it looks like you gonna be around for a while" I grimaced slightly as he continues "Luke is my best friend has been ever since we were young,but two years ago I was diagnosed with a rare medical condition. They don't even have a proper name for it. But the medicine cost more then well let's say it's three times the rent of this house and that's just for one bottle"

  "I'm sorry" I say. It must have been hell going through that.

  "My family isn't exactly swimming in money. So I left without telling them where obviously you can tell where I went San Diego. I still write letters every month.But Luke wanted to know where I was so he traced my phone call when we talked on the phone. Next thing I knew  Luke Michael and Calum are at my doorstep at four in the morning."

  "Who are Michael and Calum?"

  "Oh I didn't mention them before huh? There my other close friends. So when they showed up  I told them what happened and Luke came up with a plan. Since none of our family had that kind of money and minimum wage jobs weren't gonna cut it. He planned a robbery. He planned  it perfectly Calum and Michael immediately agreed to it but I didn't I tired to stop them but they didn't listen and one robbery lead to another and another. That's pretty much it"

  "They rob to make sure you get your medicine" I say feeling my eyes water. Don't cry don't cry oh too late. I quickly  my eyes with my sleeves.

  "Why the fuck is she crying?" Luke says throwing Ashton the bottle of pills.
