Amnesia // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 26

*Luke's P.O.V.*

As my arms are wrapped tight around her, I look at the time on my watch. Fuck, it's almost ten thirty and I have to be at the airport at eleven, and then I depart at twelve. I'm honestly not ready at all to leave her, it's going to take all my strength not to come back and kiss her and stay. I have to leave, for my band. Like I've said before, I can't ruin their dreams.

I awkwardly pull away and I can tell she's saddened by it, but there's nothing else I can do. "Um, we have to go the airport now." Ending with an awkward cough. Typical.

"Oh, okay." She replies, rubbing her sleeve on her nose.

We hold each others hand as we call for a taxi, how will I be able to let her go? I'm not ready for her to leave me, or to leave this country at the most. Ugh, I just don't want to do this. I think my sadness is actually taking over, I don't know what's happening.

I see a taxi driving out of the street, and my first instinct is to run towards to middle of the street to call it, what I'm I doing? I could be hit by a car! I'm trying to stop myself but I can't. I turn my head to a flashing light and suddenly a pain in on my chest. What's happening? I start hyperventilating, mom? I hear screams.

What's happening? My chest feels as if a piano had fallen onto it, I'm scared? I close my eyes slowly to the faint sound of the ambulance, what's happening?

*Katrina's P.O.V.*

What is Luke doing? He's going towards the middle of the street like a mad man!

"Luke!" I shout from the sidewalk, he keeps walking.

"LUKE!" I practically scream out, that's before it happened. I feel like dying, I just saw the one I love most get hit by a car. Dear lord, no. Why? Oh my god what do I do, I begin to have a panic attack as I pull out my phone to dial 000, the emergency services.

"Hello, Australia's emergency services speaking, what is your situation?" The lady speaks through the phone.

"My boyfriend's been hit by a car," I pause to let out a sob "There's a lot of blood, please help him!"

"Ma'am, I need you to tell me where you are. We'll send help immediately." The lady politely replies with a calm tone, despite my freaking out.

"Um," I turn my head to the sign on the corner, "1 Alfred Street"

"Okay, thank you, an ambulance has been dispatched and will be with you shortly." She hangs up.

No, no, no, this can't be happening! This is all my fault, why didn't I stop him? I should have been the one getting hit! Not him. He's going to miss his flight and oh my god I don't know what to do. The ambulance sirens are heard shortly away and they come to pick up Luke.

Oh my god, he looks terrible. There's literally blood everywhere. I can't bear to see this, I begin having another episode. I'm on the floor in a fetal position crying myself to sleep, while the crowd gathers and people step out of their car to see what's happened.

"Excuse me," A paramedic taps on my shoulder "We need you to come along to the ride to the hospital please."

"Certainly." I wipe my tears with my sleeve, and I hop into the back of the ambulance.

I stare onto Luke's body, god this is horrible. There's bumps, brusises, blood, I'm pretty sure he's unconcious. "What's happened to him?" I ask one of the paramedics attending to him.

"Well, there's a lot. He's got broken bones," He feels over his chest "Broken ribs, possibly brain damage, but we're not sure on that. We'll have the doctor see on that."

"Oh, god! This is all my fault!" Stupid, stupid me.

"Miss, we need you to calm down!" The paramedics tell me!

I can't right now, I think I'm going to pass out.

...

I think I was correct to the passing out, as I wake up to a white room filled with some machines and other things. I need to see Luke, I press on a button on the right side of my bed to call for a nurse or doctor.

"What do you need Ms. McVey?" A nurse steps into the room.

"I need to see my boyfriend, now." I demand to her.

"I'm sorry, but we can't let you step out of the room until the doctor gives us the okay." She reads off the clipboard placed in front of the bed.

"Well get the fucking doctor! I need to see him!" I sit upright.

"Miss, calm down, you're going to pass out if you don't." She steps to the side of my bed to help me breathe.

"Okay, okay, okay." I reply to myself as I repeat her breathing exercises.

The doctor then gives me the okay, and I can step out of the room. Before leaving the room, I shoot the nurse a glare as I walk out. I go the front desk and ask for Luke's room number.

"Hi, where is Luke Hemmings located?"

"Give me a sec," The receptionist look through her computer "Oh, it looks like he's in the ICU. He's receiving surgery, you could wait inside his room, it's room 317."

"Okay, thank you." I dismiss myself to go find Luke's room. Oh my god, of course he's receiving surgery! I ruined his dream, and all because silly me. I should have never done anything, I hate myself so much! Room, 315, Room 316, Room 317, there it is.

I take a step into a room similar to mines and I sit down in the seats placed in the corner. What am I to do when he gets here? I'm possibly going to cry, no I WILL cry. This is all my fault, there's no one to blame but myself. I pull out my phone and I dial Calum's number.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Luke's not going to make the flight." I cry out.

"Wait, what? What's going on? Why are you crying?"

"Just get to hospital, please. Tell the rest of the boys too please, and his mother." I sob as I hang up the phone.

The door opens and my head shoots up, it's the doctor with Luke. Oh my god, he's all bandaged up and he has lots of stitches and bruises, this is too much to handle. "Is he okay?" I ask the doctor.

"He should be fine, but it's something else I'm worried about." He replies, putting his bed's clipboard back on the head.

"What are you worried about?" He leaves before I could ask.

"Oh Luke," I rub his hair "Won't you please wake up?" as I say that, his beautiful blue are shown.

For a second, he looks surprised. "Luke, what's wrong?"

"Who are you?"

And that's when my world all crashed down, "Who are you?"
