That Night ~> Luke Hemmings

Chapter 5

"What did he just say?!" My mum asked looking between me and Luke. "Oh, I'm pregnant with his baby" I laughed. "And you think this is funny?" My mother screamed. "Jeez, calm down. It's for a play in drama at school!" I lied, pulling it off surprisingly well. "Oh well, sorry sweetheart, but I can't come watch it, I've got a meeting. Sorry Love." My mother said with no emotion, I turned to look at Luke, who looked like he was about to pounce on the woman stood in front of him. "I haven't even told you when it is yet." I mumbled to myself, "not that I would watch it anyway, you ungrateful little cow! Look at all I've done for you!" she exclaimed, guesting towards my apple computer and other expensive things, "I'd rather be happy with a loving family then spoiled!" I shot back. This time when I looked at Luke, he looked as tough he was preparing himself to pounce on my so called mum. She shook her head in disbelief and muttered something about Luke, "What'd you say?" I asked, clearly angry. "I said, I knew he was a bad influence! He's turned you into this little brat, I wouldn't be surprised if you were really pregnant, you little slut!" she told me, laughing again. "Oh, he's a bad influence? You mean this boy, who you've never met before?! What's his name, mum, what is is?" Luke looked very uncomfortable and annoyed right now. "How should I know? I bet you don't know it either, all you probably do it sleep together. Like I said, you're a slut." she shrugged calmly. She was really pissing me off now. "Look, I know it's none of my business, but Addison is your daughter, it's not right for anybody to be called that. Especially a mother calling they're own daughter it! And maybe you would know something about me if you ever spoke to your daughter about something other than your stupid company and how she has to be perfect. Everybody makes mistakes and you of all people should know that! Looks like you've made plenty!" Luke shouted at my mother. "You are pregnant, aren't you? You're just like the failure that is your sister! Get out if my house! And when your dad gets back, you can tell him. Because I don't even want to say your name. You disguising pig. Go!" that's when I broke. I don't even know why, I finally had an excuse to get out of this house and I was crying? I grabbed a suitcase from under my bed as my mother slammed my door so hard, a chunk came flying out of it. "Hey, hey, shh. It's okay." Luke comforted me, pressing his lips to my temple. I was confused by his actions but I just decided to ignore it and continue packing.

There was an awkward silence between us in the room as I finished the last of my packing. I finally zipped up my last bag and sat on my bed. "Do you know where you're going to go?" Luke questioned, I hadn't thought about that yet. I shook my head 'no' as Luke comforted me, "Do you want to stay at mine? I think we still need to talk, my parents are away for a few weeks still?" He questioned, yet again kissing my temple. I craned my neck to look at him and noticed how tired he was, I then wondered why he was still here with me and didn't leave as soon as I told him the news. He was looking at me expectantly, still awaiting my reply. "Oh, um, I don't want to be a bother... I'll probably just go see my sister or something. I don't even know anymore..."

"Not at all" he mumbled, "I've been getting lonely anyway. Please? For me?" he begged, doing the puppy dog eyes. A small smile crept it's way onto my face and I finally agreed as he did a little celebratory dance. Together, we heaved my luggage down the stairs, ignoring my mother shouting at us for being so loud. As we stepped out the door, I threw my key through the letterbox and trudged across the garden and over to Luke's.

Once we got settled inside, the question that had been playing on my mind all night was finally asked. "Why didn't you leave?" I asked him. "What?"

"Why didn't you leave when you found out? You're only 18. You're in a band that are getting decently big now, why?"

There will be some drama in the next few chapters, its not going to be some sappy, cheesy love story, don't worry. Just bear with me please. Xx
