Try Hard || Luke Hemmings

Chapter 12

"Are you Tim Hunter?" A nurse asked. I lifted my head out of my hands.
"Yes." Tim said.

"It seems as if your daughter, Skye, has a serious case of anorexia. She is well under the weight limit. Also she has some brain damage, which means that she may have trouble talking, and may just shut down sometimes. These are normal, and hopefully, not permanent. The best you can do is be careful and make her eat." We all sighed.

"Well at least she isn't hurt. We just need to be careful." Tim said.

"That said, Luke?" I looked up at Tim.
"You're better off just calling her your friend right now. She's fragile and we don't want to break her." I sighed, running a hand through my hair.

The nurse brought Skye out. She walked with a bit of a limp, but she seemed okay. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she was pale. Still she was more beautiful then I'd ever seen.

The boys and I went toward her. She winced and moved away looking scared.

"You-you guys won't hurt me right?" She said, her voice not ever above a whisper.
We shook our heads.
"Skye we're still your friends. we would never hurt you." Calum said. We all nodded. She nodded also, and took turns hugging us.

I was the last one to hug her. She hugged me tightly, and smiled.

"You need to eat." Calum said. She shook her head, picking at her food.
She looked up meeting my gaze. I looked at her for a little, until she took a bite of her food.

"More." Ashton said. She sighed and ate some more before pushing her plate away. We all seemed to know not to push her.

"You remember where the guest room is right?" She nodded.

"Night boys." She said, walking upstairs.

Skye's POV
I was yelling at Luke for some reason, I don't know why. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me. A car was speeding towards me. I couldn't move. It felt like my food were glued to the ground. I screamed as it got closer.
"Skye!"I opened my eyes and Luke was shaking me.

"Did I wake you up?" I whispered. He
bit his lip, then nodded.

"I'm really sorry." He smiled then shook his head.

"It's fine. Were you dreaming about-" He stopped talking when I nodded.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Go for it." He said sitting down.

"I'm not just your friend am I? I can remember that." He hesitated for a minute before nodding.

"No we're dating." He finally said. I kissed him on the cheek.
"I remember now." I said. He smiled and leaned in to kiss me quickly. My eyes widened when he sat there.
"What's wrong?" I stared at him for a minute only seeing those headlights.

"Get out." I said. He frowned.

"What did I do?" He asked. I shook my head.

"Just go." I choked out. He went out into the hallway, and I slammed the door behind him, trying to shut the memory out. It followed me all the way down to the floor, haunting me as I put my head in my hands, staying there as my eyes welled up with tears. I'm broken and I don't even know where to start to look for all the pieces.
