We Are Young (A Luke Hemmings Fanfic)

The First day

Emmi's POV:

Today was going to be my first full day in Sydney and I had no idea what I wanted to do and I knew no one. I grabbed my phone, three o'clock in the afternoon and I'm so tired! I crawl out of bed and get into the shower. "Where are you and I'm so sorry, I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight, I need somebody and always, this sick strange darkness" I hear my voice fill the bathroom, I've always hated no sound while showering since I was 5. I eventually get out the shower 40 minutes later. I look in the mirror and sigh to myself. "New start Emmi, try to fit in. Forget the past." I look down at my wrist and punch the wall. I wince a little. I sit on the floor in my towel as I dry my hair. The purple fading a little, "Well I suppose it's a good thing" I laugh to myself. After drying my hair I switch on the radio by my bed and smile when I hear 'This Is the First Thing by You Me At Six'. I sing loudly as I slide on a pair of black shorts with white palm trees, a nirvana vest top and a pair of white converse. I do my makeup at natural as I could, but adding some black cat eyeliner. I let my hair fall over my shoulders in the natural waves. I unplug my phone and place it into a black bag. "Well Emmi today is the first day of you new life" I let a smile escape my lips as I pull on some bracelets over my scars. Finally I can be myself. I looked at the time and saw 4:00. I sigh as I grab my keys and run out my apartment. I push open the large glass doors to the building and feel the warm air hit me. "I'm already loving this weather" I laugh as I walk down the road. I notice a familiar building.

"Starbucks" I smile. I put my headphones in as I walk inside. "One caramel macchiato please" I smile as I hand the woman some money and give her my name. Eventually my drink is ready and I walk out. As I turn the corner I feel something hit me hard and my coffee drench my top and I fall to the floor. I take my headphones out and look at my top. "I'm so sorry!" I heard a voice from above me. It has a strong Australian accent to it, I still wasn't used to hearing my favourite accent all the time. "It's okay" I say pushing myself up and hearing my sharp British accent. I look up and notice a tall boy with pale skin, blue eyes and blonde hair. "I'm Luke" He said shyly as he rubbed the back of his head.

Luke's POV:

Shit I've just walked into some girl and spilt her drink all over her! She must think I'm a total dick! "I'm so sorry!" I look down at the girl. I like her hair, it's cool. "It's okay" Her voice! She's British! I look at her and her eyes draw me in, she has gorgeous blue eyes. "I'm Luke" I say, I'm feeling a little shy and I tend to do this thing where I rub the back of my head. I look down a little and notice her shirt. "You like nirvana?" I smile a little as I look back at her. She nods softly. "Gosh I'm sorry, do you want another drink?" I look at her, I don't want her to leave! She is different, she's not like most girls I know. She reminds me of Michael a bit with her hair. This makes me laugh a little. I notice her smiling at me as I laugh. "I'd love one" her british accent is so refreshing from a typical Aussie one. I walk over to the door and open it for her. I see her smile. She walks in past me and I can't help but stare at her, she's so beautiful. I walk with her to the counter, "What would you like?" I ask softly as the woman looks at her suspiciously. "One caramel macchiato and?" she looks at me. "I'll have the same" I smile at the girl. "Luke and ... shit I never asked your name" I look down and go a little red. "Emmi" she says in her accent. The woman nods and we walk over to a table by the window. We got talking for ages and i found out loads about her like she lives on her own in the studio apartments, she's into most genres of music and she loves food! She's like the girl of my dreams, and her eyes, hair, laugh everything is so beautiful! I realize I'm staring at her and she starts laughing at me. "Hey I'm sorry but I get distracted by such beauty" I smirk. Way to go Luke, just blew it! Then I realized she was smiling and blushing. I hear my phone in my pocket, "One second I need to take this" I say as I see Ashton's name. "Hey mate what's up?" I ask as I smile at Emmi. "Dude you were meant to be at Calums forty minutes ago! Come on!" I wince a little as he yells, "Shit dude I didn't realize the time, I'm just with somone but I'll come now!" I hang up and look at Emmi. "I..." She interrupts me, "You have to go, I understand" She smiles at me, pulling my phone out my hand. She types in her number. "Text me sometime? I'll need someone who knows things around here" She flashes me a smile before getting up. "It was great meeting you Luke" I blush a little as she speaks. "You too Emmi" I smile as I get up and follow her out. "Will you be okay getting home?" I ask, hoping she's let me walk her back. "Yeh, it's only five minutes away Luke" Her laugh is so adorable. I look at her and nod. "Okay, text me when you get home so I know you are safe" I wink at her before we both turn away and walk. I look at the time, "Shit!" I laugh and start running to Calum's, knowing they would tease me if they found out.
