Face Down.♡ (Luke Hemmings)

Rolling In The Deep.

Chapter 10.

'Rolling In The Deep'-Adele.

''I'm fine.'' he snaps slightly, trying to get up. He only ends up slouching back down onto the cold ground, his back hitting the brick wall behind him. He groaned again, eyes closing tightly in pain.

I frowned, wiping away the blood from his cheek. Bruises had already started forming on his face, one eye surrounded with a black bruise while his bottom lip was cut open, blood pouring from it. There were also some cuts and scratches there, some of them probably gonna leave scars.

''C'mon, my house's just few blocks away.'' I told him and he finally looked at me, those beautiful blue eyes filled with pain and a bit of confusion.

''I'm fine.'' he growled, confusion now being replaced by anger. And then another attempt of getting up. Fail.

I sighed. ''You're not gonna success in that. Just stop being so stubborn and let me help you.'' I told him and he just huffed.

''Why would you fucking do that?'' he snapped again but I stayed calm. ''Because you saved me twice, let me help you now that you need it. Don't be such a douche.''

Luke stayed silent for a few moments but he eventually agreed. I helped him to stand up on his feet, supporting him by flinging his arms around my shoulders.

It took us about few minutes to walk to my house in a total and utter silence. Well, it was silent, except a few groans that came from him and 'shit','fuck', 'ow' once in a while. I jusy kept walking, supporting the blonde haired boy that was badly injured.

When we finally entered my small apartment, I walked him to the couch, carefully helping him lay. I went to lock the door and then went straight to the bathroom to take a first aid kit. Then I made my way back to see him laying still on his back, eyes closed tightly.

I crouched down next to the couch he was laying on and then touched his hand to let hin know I'm there. His eyes flicked open, head turning towards me so our eyes could lock together.

''Let me help you with that.'' I said, pointing to his face. He shook his head. ''I'm fine. ''

I rolled my eyes. ''Yeah, keep telling yourself that.'' I told him as I took some medicines from the kit.

''Really, I'm-''

''Luke, just let me fucking help you! I'm not gonna put a poison in your eyes, I'm just helping! '' I emphasized, trying to put some sense in his head.

''Why?'' he repeated the previous question. I sighed. ''Because I feel bad for you. And you helped me, I just want to repay you, I guess.'' I confessed, only telling a half-truth.

Luke's eyes narrowed. ''I don't need your pity nor your help. I'll be fine.'' he huffed in annoyance.

''Don't be so freaking stubborn!'' I shouted suddenly, earning a growl from him. ''I'm not, I told you, I'm fine! ''

''But you're not, just let me get those cuts clean.'' I said, trying to sound calmer.

He finally sighed, nodding his head, taking me by surprise.

I cleaned his face, at the end the only thing on his face being the black eye and a few cuts. He tried to get up, but ended up falling back on the couch.

''Fuck.'' his low voice said, making me shake my head slightly. ''Just lay there, I'll bring you some blankets and stuff. ''

He tried to object but I left him no choise as I left the room, only to camo back with a blanket and a pillow.

''I think I have some of Ashton's clothes left here, I can lend you some of it so you can from switch those bloody ones.'' I said, going back to my room, finding some Ashton's sweatpants and a Captain America singlet.

When I gave those to Luke, he frowned slightly. ''Is the Ashton kid your boyfriend?'' the question honestly took me by surprise. I don't know why though. I mean, we've both been asked that by people because we actually did act like a couple sometimes and I guess that was confusing for other people.

But what surprised me when Luke asked that was because I wasn't sure why did he wanted to know that? Maybe he's just curious...

''Nope, we're best friends though. '' I answered finally, grabbing a cigarette from the cupboard, where they stood with a lighter along.

''So, you friend-zoned him then.'' he said, more like stated, watching me intently as I lit up my cigarette and exhaled a big cloud of smoke.

Shit, the second one today.

''No, we were never into each other. It would be weird actually because we've known each other ever since. Ashton's more like a brother to me.'' I explained, closing my eyes for a few seconds, feeling the intoxication fill my lungs once again. So good.

''Why do you smoke that?'' Luke's voice gave out curiosity, but no sign of judgment. That surprised me. Because whoever sees me with a cigarette, they tell me how I shouldn't do it, that I'm killing myself and other shit. But who the hell cares. Life's a bitch anyway.

I shrugged. ''Feels awesome. ''

''Can I have one?'' he questioned, earning a raised-eyebrows look from me. ''Really?'' I ask carefully and he nodded reassuringly.

''Woah, you're right. '' he said as he took a blow. I smirked. ''You've never had a cigarette before?''

He rolled his eyes. ''Actually, no. I never had the urge to have one.'' he shrugged, me nodding in understanding.

''Kay then.'' I slumped on the couch next to him. He said he's gonna go change and when he finally came back, he groaned.

''I'm bored. '' I glanced up at him, to see him looking at me.

''Wanna watch a movie?'' I suggested, he shrugged.

''Whatever, just entertain me.'' he demanded, earning a laugh in amusement from me.

''Entertain? Seriously? Wow.'' I laughed even harder at the choice of words. He surprised me by actually grinning. Woah.

''C'mon! It's not that funny. '' he whined, smile still present on his face which made me happy.

''Okaaay, Hemmings, lemme get the laptop then.'' I told him before going in search for the device. When I finally found it on my desk, I went back and sat down on my previous spot next to Luke.

''Whatcha wanna watch?'' I asked, wiggling an eyebrow at him. He thought about it.

''Anchor Man. It's my favourite.'' he suddenly said, getting a wide-eyed look from me. ''Seriously? It's mines favourite as well.'' I exclaimed excitedly.

Luke grinned. ''Awesome then.''

So, we played the movie.

I snuggled into Luke's side, his arm draped around my shoulders carelessly, my head pressed onto his chest, me being able to hear his fast heartbeat. I wondered why it's so fast?

Soon enough, I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, the cause being late hours and the lack of sleep the previous night.

And before I had completely dozed off, I heard a soft tone of Luke's voice after he planted a gentle kiss to my forehead.

''Good night, beautiful. ''
