Arabella || Luke Hemmings

surprises

July 10, 1984 - Stockholm

It had been three days since Arabella opened up to Luke in such a big and unexpected way. He concluded that she truly cared about Andy but it wasn't the same, he was more of a burden on her already hectic life. Arabella wasn't in love him anymore or at least Luke convinced himself of that up to Andy's surprise arrival in Stockholm just a few hours ago.

His gray eyes were dull, his skin pale, his hair looked like a mix of Luke's and Michael's do's, and he looked like he hadn't eaten in weeks.

The only thing lightening up Luke's mood were the glares Jax, Loch, and Haze were giving Andy. Ricky was pretty neutral about this. Loch looked ready to rip Andy's face off.

"Why the spontaneous visit?" Haze stopped in front of the spot Andy had made himself comfortable in on the stage while Kosmic was doing sound check. It was the spot next to Arabella's piano.

"I came to see my Arabella." Andy pressed a kiss to Arabella temple, not even noticing the unpleasant look Arabella had.

"Your Arabella?" Haze scoffed, rolling her eyes. "YOUR ARABELLA? You're a fucking idiot, you know that Andy? You've dragged Arabella through every circle of hell and you still have the nerve to show up in Sweden like everything's fine!"

Haze's fuming voice echoed throughout the empty arena, making crew members stop in their tracks to see what was going on.

"Just take your sorry ass back to Frost or whatever coke-house you came from and leave Arabella alone!" Haze slammed her hands on Arabella's keyboard, sounding a bundle of messy keys. "Just a few months ago you were telling Arabella not to visit because you guys were over, you can't keep playing with her emotions like that!" She was in Andy's face, getting her point across. On the other side of Andy, seated a stunned Arabella, every part of her was frozen except her eyes that darted from Haze to Andy.

"Look bitch, I don't know who you think you are to make you think you can talk to me like that." Andy scooted out of his chair, standing almost a whole foot taller than Haze. Loch, Jax, and Ashton appeared behind Haze. Luke, Michael, Calum, and Ricky were about as frozen as Arabella. "So take your little ass to your dressing room and come talk to me once you've calmed down and stopped thinking you're my fucking mother."

"You wouldn't even know what a mother is like." Haze smirked. "It's a shame yours walked out on you."

Andy's lips tightened into a thin line, you could almost see smoke blowing out of his ears like in those cartoons. Haze probably just hit a soft spot for Andy. Luke took a look over his shoulder to see crew members gathered around the bottom of the stage, all with curious looks. All they needed was Ian and Mason to show up and the party would be started.

"You have no right to bring Scarlet into this."

"You have no right to even be here. All you are is a distraction and a figure taking up space. If you thought for a second that we'd grant you the chance to come on this tour and essentially tour with us, then you thought wrong."

Mentally Luke was applauding and cheering Haze, mentally he had a bucket of popcorn that he about half way finished with because this was all too intense. Ashton took a step forward, standing at Haze's side, trying to grab her hand to calm her down but she ripped her hand away.

"Look man, take your psychotic girlfriend and fuck her so she stops bitching at me." Andy pushed Ashton back, causing him to stumble.

"Don't you fucking touch him." Haze interjected.

"Is the crazy bitch upset that I touched her boyfriend?" Andy mocked. "I was just encouraging him to get laid, that's all."

"You're disgusting." Haze shook her head, proving her disgust with Andy by the expression she had.
