Fake (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter Seven ~Road Trip~

Chapter Seven ~Road Trip~

*Luke POV*

Elena has been ignoring me for the past three days but I wasn’t fine with it. In fact I was beyond confused and angry. She kept herself busy with work and Sawyer. I kept myself busy with music and trying to get my mind off suicide. Sawyer seemed to like to hang out with me which I was completely fine with because she was good company. As I walk into the living room with Sawyer we sit down on the couch and start to watch that one movie Sleeping Beauty. I was enjoying the movie while Sawyer fell asleep on my lap. As I was watching the movie Elena walks in and sits down next to me which I found strange but I was fine with it. She sighs and rest her head on my shoulder. The rest of the night we watch a bunch of disney movies and pig out. We talk about me seeing the boys back in South Carolina. Elena said that if she didn’t have too much work and if Sawyer was up to it we would roadtrip to South Carolina.

Jumping into the car excited Elena sits in the drivers seat and we start to drive to South Carolina. Sawyer was asleep and I was jamming out to music with Elena. Thank God she liked the music the music I heard or else I won’t road trip with her. Rolling down my window I look out the window and look at all the open fields and roads. Elena sings along to the songs and I look at her to see the sunlight hitting her face perfectly. Her once brown eyes turned a gray color and her long brown hair was holded up into a ponytail.

“What are you looking at Hemmings?” breaking out of my day dream I see her smiling and I smile back at her.

“Nothing I was just thinking about some things.” she nods her head and I look out the window once again. Soon we stop somewhere to eat and Sawyer talks about the dream she had. Elena was noting everything down in her head and memorizing every word that Sawyer said about her dream, after all Elena is still her psychologist. After we eat we all get back in the car I take a turn to drive. Elena falls asleep while I talk a little with Sawyer before she falls asleep and I was left with my thoughts. No I didn’t like Elena but I didn’t hate her completely. I was just attracted to her and her body. Not in a lustful way. Maybe I was just confused with my feelings.

As soon as we were in South Carolina I rush out of the car and run to the boys. They all hug me and greet me with bro hugs and much laughing. I could tell that the boys were suprised by my kindness and happiness. Elena and Sayer leave to rest and I hang out with the boys like old times before I went crazy. Elena took me to my room and she stayed with me for a bit to make sure I won’t cut or do anything else. Once she leaves I lay in bed with a smile on my face and all the negative thoughts in my head go away.

The next morning I go into Elena’s room to see her on the couch writing down something down in her journal. Sitting next to her, she looks up and smiles at me. Elena tells me that she was doing her daily Sawyer entries to make sure she was doing mentally and emotionally ok. After she was done we eat breakfast and talk a little bit. We didn’t talk much but we managed to have a conversation without killing each other.

“Do you ever think about how life would be like if your parents were parents.” I ask trying to start a different conversation.

“Well yeah. I use to think about it a lot growing up as a child. They weren’t there for me most of my life and growing up I thought that I would never be loved.”

“But that thought changed right?” I ask shoving a spoonful of cereal in my mouth.  

“Well, no. It has never changed throughout my life.” She shrugs her shoulders and continues to eat her food. After we finish eating Sawyer wakes up and she was NOT a morning person. She rest her little chin on her hands and her eyes slowly close as she tries but fails to keep herself awake. Elena but some yogurt and strawberries in her bowl and then gives it to her. Sawyer shoves a spoonful of yogurt in her little mouth and then rests her head on the counter. Elena and I take turns to feed her until all her food was gone.

We all go to see the boys while I carry Sawyer in my arms. She was wearing shorts and a Nirvana t-shirt that I bought her along with the black vans I also got her. Elena made fun of me because everytime I would go to a store I would buy Sawyer all the things that I would like her to wear. I also spoiled the hell out of her which Elena was trying to get me to stop. Putting her down on the floor she hugs Elena’s leg and she begs for Elena to carry her. Elena says no and knees down to put her hair in a ponytail. Lifting her up again she rests her head on my shoulder and I kiss the side of her head. The boys ask if Sawyer is Elena’s kid and I answer no and Elena shyly nods her head. We all go out to explore the town and I hold Elena’s hand to make sure she was close to me. Sawyer ran around with Michael and I walk behind them with Elena.  She holds on to Michael’s finger and they skip to the ice cream shop.

We all sit down around the table and I help Sawyer not get any ice cream on her shirt.  After we all eat ice cream we go back out in the beating sun and Elena tells Ashton to cut the sleeves of Sawyer’s shirt. While he was doing it I hovered over his shoulder to make sure he wouldn’t cut her or mess up the shirt. Once he was done he tied the extra sleeve around Sawyer’s head and she giggled.

“I’m like daddy!!” she giggled and Elena looks at her shocked.

“Who is your daddy honey?” Elena asks trying not to freak out.

“Lukey and you are my mummy and daddy!!” she giggles and Elena looks at everyone for help. She pulls Sawyer aside and I watch her talk with her outside on the balcony. Sawyer starts to cry and Elena holds her in her arms until Sawyer screams for me. Running out Sawyer pushes Elena away and hugs my leg.

“Sawyer you have to listen to me baby. Luke and I are just your friends not your parents.”

“No! Luke is my daddy and you are my mummy!” Elena grasps Sawyer’s arm and forces her to look at her. I’ve never seen Elena so mad and so many emotions in her face expressions.

“Listen to me Sawyer! We are not your parents! Your parents are back in New York and when we get back you are going back to them! You will go back to only seeing me once a week and never seeing Luke. You know why?” Sawyer sobs and angry builds up in my body. “ Because no one but you parents will ever treat you better than us!! Luke and I are just a bunch of messed up people who are trying to get on with their lifes! We don’t need you to make everything worse than it already is!” Elena finishes screaming and Sawyer starts to sob even harder.

“I hate you!” Sawyer yells and runs away to god knows where. All I Knew was that is that she was with Calum. Looking over at Elena it looking like a million of trucks crashed into her. She looked down at her hands and she started to panic.

“What did I just do? I just told that little girl almost the same thing my mom told me growing up.” Elena sits on the ground and starts to sob and she struggles to breath.

“What is wrong with you Elena! That little girl is the one that brings us both happiness! I know you have a problem thinking that but you know that is true!!” I yell and Elena looks around everywhere in a panic. Soon I realized that something was wrong with her. Kneeling down to her level I could tell that she was having a panic attack. Holding her face in my hands I force her to look into my eyes and I try to do the same thing that my mum use to do with me when I was around the age of fifteen. “Repeat after me. You’re fine. You’re fine.”

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Elena repeats the same thing until I was sure that she was calm and ready to talk. Elena stands up and walks with me to see Sawyer. Elena walks over to Sawyer’s bed and sits next to the angry five year old. Leaving the room I let them talk alone. I sit down on Elena’s bed and wait for her to come back. Soon after she comes in the room smiling. You could tell that she was happier now. She sits next to me and we talk until it came time for the both of us.

That night Elena slept in my arms and I loved every moment of it.

Hope you all liked it!! Loved you all and I will be updating again next week on monday or maybe sunday if i have time in my day!
