His "Accomplice" (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter Five

  I can't describe to you how shocked I was when I saw my mom sitting on my couch with my phone in her hand. Luke's grip tightens on my hand. I shove his hand away as my mom looks up. There was no way I was going to hear my mom complain about me holding hands in public. My mom is a huge PDA disapproval person. She doesn't even like to hug me sometimes.

  "Where have you been?" She yells waving the phone in my face. "Do you not know your suppose to carry your phone around with you?" Her eyes drift towards Luke and she immediately stops talking. So that was how My mom shuts up I bring a guy into a room? Alright I'll take it.

  "Mom meet my friend Luke" I say pointing towards Luke. "Luke this is my mom" Who has never been this quiet in the 18 years I've known her.

  "Nice to meet you Luke"  She says unsure of what to do next.Oh come on mom it's like he is a criminal... see what I did there.

  "Hi Ma'am" He flashes her a polite smile.I feel the urge to take a quick picture in honor of this moment but decide against knowing Luke would probably throw my phone out the window. Wow he actually looks sweet for once.

  "Luke needed my help so I just ran out the door and I forgot my phone" I say getting my phone from my mom. "Sorry mom" She nods still completely dazzled by Luke. She acts like I never brought a boy home... Oh wait I never did.

  "No it's fine I'll be on my way" She smiles at Luke one last time closing the door behind her.

  "Why did you do that?" I groan getting a pillow from my couch and whacking  him as hard as I can.

  "What have I been saying? I'm not going to say anything I don't want anything to happen to Ashton dont you listen?" I whack him one last time before dropping the pillow. "Now I'm going to get my clothes I'm guessing you want this" I hand him my phone walking into my room. Alright  I may have overreacted but  can you blame me? Answer no. I grab my backpack and start shoving clothes into it while getting a few books since I'm not going to have my phone. Grabbing  my spare toothbrush and deodorant I walk back into my living room.

  "You can drive" Luke says clearing his throat throwing me the keys. I smile because this may be small but it means Luke slowly starting to trust me. Which in my book is progress.

  "Can we go get donuts?" I ask getting into the car.

  "Don't push it" Why did I expect him to say that? I was about to say something back when I notice he has a slight smile on his lips. I start the car unable to keep from myself from smiling.

  "Maybe Mcdonalds?"

  "I swear I will make you stop this car and switch seats with me right now" Maybe we could actually be friends? Alright maybe I'm pushing it.  But now I'm really starting to crave mcdonalds. The warm crispy fries the ketchup which for some reason always taste better from the package they put it in. I park the car about to get out of the car when Luke grabs my wrist.

  "He told you?" He says quietly his blue eyes blank. "He told you everything?"

  "Only about you guys robbing to afford his medicine" I say having a feeling that  Luke thought something else.The grip on my wrist loosens.

"Alright" As we walk into the house. I see Michael sleeping right by the doorway. I glance at Luke and he shrugs grabbing the keys from me. "He always does this" He walks over him and grabs the pizza box. I careful walk over Michael looking back at him with curiosity. What caused him to like sleeping by doorways?

"Alright Dickwads did I not say to save me a pizza?" Luke yells shoving the empty box into the trashcan.

"We should of went to mcdonalds huh?" I say grabbing my pizza from the table. I was about to take another bite when he grabs my pizza. "Hey" I say trying to get it back. But he shoves the whole pizza in his mouth. How is that possible?

"Shut up Luke" Michael mumbles shifting slightly. How is that comfortable? I mean they have hard wooden floor in the house. That has to be slightly uncomfortable.
