That Night ~> Luke Hemmings

Chapter 6

"Because, that wouldn't be fair on you. Yeah, I'm young and yeah, I'm in a band, but it takes two to make a baby. I was raised without a dad until I was 14, and it sucked! Its not fair, and I don't want my child going through that. I love kids, of course I would've preferred if it was later on, but there's nothing I can do about it now, is there? So I'm just gonna have to grow a pair of balls and get used to it, I'm not going to run away and leave you alone. That's cowardly." By the end if Luke's little speech, I was nearly in tears. But I can just blame it on the hormones, right? Or the fact I've just been kicked out.

"Thanks." I managed to croak out. He let out a low chuckle, probably at how emotional I was being, and started searching for something in his cupboard.

"Do you want some hot chocolate or something? We could watch a movie and talk?" He suggested, suddenly reappearing from the wardrobe with a few blankets in his hand. I nodded my head easily and followed him down to the kitchen, "Where are your parents?" I asked, noticing how quiet it was. "My mum flew back over to Australia, where I'm from incase the accent didn't give it away," he laughed, "to help out a close friend who recently got caught in a flood or something. It was quiet last minute. My stepdad is in the air cadets, he'll be back in about a month or so. I can't wait!" He beamed excitedly. A loud, high whistle came from the old fashioned kettle on the stove, indicating the water was boiled. After Luke was finished preparing the drinks and yet more junk food for the night, we set everything down on the sofas and decided to make a fort.

"No! No, you're getting it all wrong! The bigger blanket goes there! Seriously, I know you have a baby inside you and all, but that doesn't mean you need to think like one! Who doesn't know how to make a fort? What are you, like 60?!" Luke complained after I apparently 'go it all wrong'. Seriously, this boy is like a five year old!

" I heard that! You said it out loud, and if you keep being mean to me, I'm going to throw a paddy like a 5 year old!" Oops, my mistake. All though, it would be quiet funny to see Luke throwing a paddy.

"Lets play 20 questions!' Luke jumped up and down as the end credits of 'Toy Story 2' rolled. I nodded in agreement and took another few Moaoms, the best sweets ever in Jack Harries, and now my opinion. "You go first." Luke instructed. "Ok, what's your favourite animal?" I questioned, slightly hoping he would say penguins as they are the best animal to ever walk the earth! "PENGUINS!" Luke screamed down my ear. I fist pumped the air and a massive smile spread across my face. "Guessing you like them too?"

"No. Hate them." I replied sarcastically, Luke just rolled his eyes at me. "Ok. any siblings?" Luke questioned. I nodded, "older brother, Drew, older sister, Phoebe, younger twin brothers, Noah and Archie. You?"

"One sister, Ebony, and a brother called Harley, twins. But they're both away at collage so I'm all alone!" he pouted, "pets?" he questioned.

"A bearded dragon called Ralph. 4 fish- Leonard, Raj, Sheldon and Howard. Don't judge, ok? The Big Bang Theory is epic!" I explained, embarrassed, " and a dog called Ashy." I finished up, "what about you?" Just as I asked the question, a little sausage dog came waddling in, "this is Gunter,my dog. It was as close as I could get to a penguin because she waddles!" I giggled at his dorkiness. "Did you by any chance, call him Gunter after Gunter the penguin in Adventure Time?" He nodded sheepishly, blushing.

Favourite song?" He questioned, stroking Gunter. I took time to think about this one, even though it was a simple question. My music taste was a bit odd. I liked bands like 1D, Rixton and McFly, but I also love The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and You Me At Six. On the other hand, I loved Twin Atlantic and Royal Blood, but completely differently, I was obsessed with dance anthems and house music. I'd been to Ibiza and Creamfields a few times but also Reading, so what was my answer supposed to be?!

"Um, I like a lot of different music, so I'm just going to list a few. Brothers And Sisters by Twin Atlantic, Stay Together For The Kids, Blink 182, Nivara's Lithium, but All Time Low.. They are the definition of perfection! But then Josh Franceshci? And Dan Flint from You Me At Six?! Ugg, there is too many good music these days! Why can't we just go back to the 80s and 90s when the only good music was Backstreet Boys?!" I finished my little rant and giggled at Luke's reaction, his mouth was open and he was staring at me. Sitting completely still. "You like Blink 182, and Nivara, and All Time Low?!" I nodded slowly as Luke did a little victory dance. "If I ring my sister, could you please tell her that? She seems to think I'll die alone because no girl would be able to put up with my music taste!"
