Amnesia (Luke Hemmings fan-fic)

Chapter 23

My phone vibrates in my pocket. It's my mom calling. "Uh. Guys I have to take this." I say answering my phone. "Hi mom." "Where have you been?" "Well. I've been with Val and a new friend. It's not like you care, you've been out just as long as I have." I say getting angry with her. "Excuse me?" "Excuse me? Really? You haven't really even taken care of me for two years. Two freaking years mom. You just let me be, I had to grow up and leave my childhood trying to figure out how to take care of myself. So no. No excusing you. I also broke my ankle." I say raising my voice. "You did?" "No mom. I just said that for the hell of it. God. Could you be anymore oblivious? I've tried to make you realize that although you've handled dad's death well, I haven't. He was the only one that understood me! He was the only one who was ever there for me. I was never good enough for you. I've gotten straight a's all my life, I've never slept with a guy, I've never dressed like a stipper. I've tried so freaking hard to be all you want, but no. I'm not good enough. So forget you!" I say crying and hanging up the phone. "Hey. Breathe." I hear a quit voice behind me." I turn around to see all the boys. "Uh. How much did you hear?" I say wiping my tears away. "From you having to lose your childhood.." Ashton says looking down at his feet. Luke walks over to me and picks me up hugging me. "Breath. Calm down. Don't cry. Be strong." He whispers in my ear. A tear falls down my cheek. "It's just so hard. It really is.. Especially when the one person that loves you is dead. I'm just tired of being alone." I whisper back. "You're not alone. I'm here. I always will be." He whispers, kissing my cheek. "You know we are still here.." Michael says. Luke puts me down and turns around. "Yeah we know." He says wheeling me toward them. "Uh. Grace, your mascara is running.." Calum says awkwardly. "Darn it." I say getting my phone out. I check in the camera and clean it up. I decide to just take my make up off completely. Once I do, I put my hair up into a messy bun. "You guys wanna still look around or go home?" I say. "Do you really want to go home?" Ashton says to me. "Well. No. Not really.." I say quietly. "If you want, you can stay with us, we have a couch. It would probably be awkward if you slept with any of us, so we would sleep in our rooms." Calum says smiling. "That sounds awesome, put I have no clothes." I say. "We can stop by Walmart to get you something on the way back." Luke says smiling. "Okay. Lets get out of here."
