Lie With Me | Sequel to 'Impossible'

Chapter 2

Eating Skittles on a semi - long car journey is probably the best thing you could do to get your nerves down in a stressful situation.

But not when you hear something over the radio that makes you want to spit them out.

"Lead - singer of the teenage pop band 5 Seconds Of Summer Luke Hemmings, has apparently passed away this evening. After being attacked in a forest just outside of London, the HeartBreak Girl singer was rushed to hospital in a short length of time, taken from the hands of caring girlfriend Ellie Brooks. He has fallen under a coma and sadly, has not returned to us."

"What?!" I screamed and Calum pushed on the brakes making everybody jerk forward.

"Shut up Ellie! We need to get to the fucking hospital okay!? If you keep screaming then we might not get there in time!" Calum screamed and his faced softened when he noticed Niagra Falls was pouring out of my eyes.

Ashton pulled me in for a hug and I wrapped my arms around his waist, my head was buried in his chest and I could faintly hear his sobs.

The rest of the car ride was silent until we arrived, I refused to get out of the car but Michael ended up carrying me bridal style and rocking me back and forth while we waited in the waiting room.

"I'm sorry El" Calum sighed as I finally calmed down but got those weird hiccups.

"I-It's fine" I managed to choke out but it muffled into Michael's t-shirt.

"They said I was his girlfriend on the radio Michael... What was that about?" I asked him while playing with the buttons on my blazer.

"You do know why Luke went to your house right..." He spoke which was barely audible.

I stayed silent and he shook his head, "He went there to apologise. To tell you about everything that had happened in the past year for him, but most of all, he wanted you back" He rubbed my back after realising I had been crying since before he started talking.

Liz walked out to us with a great big smile on her face.

Why is she smiling when her son is dead...

"You can all come see Luke. He's just woken up but hasn't talked or anything. Why are you all crying?" She panicked and rubbed my back along with Michael.

"What?!" Everybody shouted and I jumped off of Michael's lap.

"What do you mean what?" She nervously laughed and I wiped my eyes.

"The radio said he was gone.." I raised my eyebrow and she smiled.

"One thing you learn when you have a famous son is to never listen to the paps. I've heard that Luke bought a tiger. When I asked him he curled over laughing. He's definitely not dead, he's quite alive alright" She smiled and lead us all to Luke's room.

"Hang on a minute, the rest of the families here so do you mind if they go in first?" She sheepishly smiled and we all obliged.

Person after person, Luke still hadn't talked or moved. All he did was cry and smile apparently.

Now it was my turn, lucky last.

As my hand reached up for the silver coated door knob, I took in a deep breath and turned it.

Inside, laying on a bed was a sad looking Luke who had colour back in his shiny blue eyes and vibrant blonde running through his hair.

He had his leg tied in an upright position which looked pretty comfy may I add.

His face lit up as I took my first steps inside and ran over to hug him.

"I missed you soo much" I cried onto his chest and he managed to bring his arms up to wrap around me.

"I love you" He barely whispered and I smiled.

"I love you too" I laughed and he patted the spot next to him.

"Lay by me" He croaked and I jumped under the blakets and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Don't move if it hurts, it more than enough knowing you're alive" I whispered into his ear and kissed his cheek, he smiled and Luke's family and other close friends walked in.

"How come I never got a hug Luke? What happened to CaKe?" Calum wiped away a few tears and Luke laughed, looking around at all of the people that loved and supported him for the past two months more than anybody else.

"She's been missing you Luke" His baby niece cried from her stroller and Luke smiled.

"I want to hold her" He croaked and tried to sit up.

"I'll help you. I don't think you're strong enough to even hug me yet alone hold a baby" I smiled and sat up beside him.

"Still stronger than you" He smirked and I hit his arm playfully.

"Do you even lift?" I retorted and he huffed.

Liz passed up the little baby and Luke held her head end and I held her legs.

The way he looked at her with such intent made me realise that one day, he would be a great father.

"I have to go to work. Calum you take my place." I started shuffling off the bed and Calum slipped in beside Luke and he frowned.

"You chose Calum, I would've rathered Michael" He looked over at Calum and laughed along.

"Good to have you back mate" Calum smiled and gave Luke a 'bro hug'

"I love you. I'll come back tomorrow with some new ones" I exclaimed while pointing to the dead flowers that sat in a vase beside his bed.

"Love you. See ya later" He croaked and everybody awed except for Michael, who booed.

"Shut up Michael" I rolled my eyes and walked out of the door with the memories of Luke and I flashing through my head.
