Chapter 5

Ariel

I wake up remembering I'm at Luke's. I wrap the blankets around my shoulders and slowly go down the steps.

"Why are you sleeping on the couch and not in your room?" An older lady says and I stop dead in my tracks.

"Mom. I didn't want to sleep in there. I always sleep in there and I need a different surrounding for one night."

Oh. It's Mrs. Hemmings.

Luke sees me and his eyes widen.

"Luke. What are you looking at?" She turns and he uses his hands to tell me to go back. I quickly run back into his room and hide in his closet.

I hear footsteps until they're in his room. "See mom! Nothing's in here! Lets go back downstairs." He tries his best. I'll give him credit. The closet doors open and reveals me.

"Shiznick." I say smiling at the furious mother.

"Honey, come out of the closet." She says sweetly, so I do. "Hi! I'm Luke's mother Liz." She says shaking my hand.

"I'm his, friend. Ariel."

"Awe. That's such a pretty name."

"Thank you."

"Why were you in my sons closet?"

I turn to Luke for help and he speaks. "She was at the Bowling Alley last night, and her friend was there with her. But he didn't notice her or anything so I picked her up and let her spend the night because her mom thinks she has friends."

"That's it Luke." I say kinda embarrassed.

"Stay the night anytime! I just need to know. And then Luke can sleep on the floor up here."

"Thank you Mrs. Hemmings." I smile.

"Just call me Liz."

"Okay Liz."

"Would you like to stay for breakfast and dinner?"

"I'll have to give my mother a call and ask."

"You do that. Luke get her a toothbrush."

She leaves the room leaving Luke and I.

"My mother. Is nothing like that. I promise you."

"Uh. Okay." I grab my phone from the bedside table and try to turn it on.

Dead.

"Luke. Can I use your phone or a charger? My phone is dead."

"Okay. The charger is right by my bed and the house phone is over by my guitars. " He says.

I whip my head up. "Guitars?" I ask.

"Yea. I have a few."

"Can you play?"

"No."

"Okay Luke listen. I know you can play. I've heard about you. Play me a song. Please."

"If you stay for dinner."

"Okay. Deal."

"I'll go tell my mom. Do you want like a shirt or something else? You can look through my closet if you want." He says exiting the room.

I open his closet doors and look at his shirts. I don't want any of his band tees. I look down at the dress I have on and decide I'll just leave that on.

"Are you just going to stay in that dress?" I jump and look back.

"Yeah." I shrug my shoulders and take a seat on his bed.
