End Up Here

I hate you, Luke Hemmings

Alison POV

I have never thought about how my life could change oh so quickly, until I finally accepted fate, that was when I finally stopped and think my life over.

I was woken up by the ringing of my phone. I picked it up, not checking the ID, I realized it was my best friend Ashton. I groan as I hit the answer button.

"Hey Ash. Why'd you call me?" I ran my hand through my hair in stress as I spoke into the phone. "Hey Ali! I just wanted to tell you that I'm going on tour tomorrow, so do you want to hang out today?" he tried to sound as casual as possible but unluckily for him, I can hear the sadness in his voice.

"What?!?" I jumped out of bed and freaked out,"Why didn't you tell me?". I started pacing around the room very lightly, not wanting to wake up my parents. My breath started becoming heavy as I held myself in.

"I didn't want to disappoint you". But you did.

"Well, since it's your last day here, I guess we could hang out" I huffed out. I guess if he's leaving, I could hang out with him one last time. "Great! I'll pick you up in a few minutes. Bye Ali bear!" he giggled whch brought a smile to my face. "Bye Ash" I smiled.

In 15 minutes I got ready. I walked downstairs and heard my parents shouting. They were always fighting, they never really cared about me. Ashton is the only one who does. He's the only one that was there for me when I needed him. I didn't know what my life was like before he came in.

I sneaked out the front door and across the street, I saw my worst enemy, Luke Robert Hemmings. We've known each other since we were in kindergarden. Back then we were friends but when we were in grade 4, he started ruining my life. I don't know why he started hating me but I started returning the feelings.

"Hey Als" his voice was like a knife in the back, anoying and hard to get rid of. "Don't call me that Lucas" I spat at him, making the rudeness in my voice noticible. "Als, Als, Als" he repeated, was he in 2nd grade?

"Go fuck yourself Hemmings" I told him off hoping he would go away. "I would love to" his cockiness was unbearable. I rolled my eyes and waited for Ashton. 5 seconds later, Ashton arrive with a big smile on his face.

"Sup Ash!" I greeted him. "Hey Ali bear!" he embraced me into one of his famous Ashton Irwin hug and got in his car. "So where are we going today, Mr Irwin?" I said as I slowly open the car door. "We are going for ice cream. Well hop in loser" I can't believe he quoted Mean Girls.I pout and did what he said. During the short ride, we were sing at the top of our lungs and embarassing ourselves. When we got there, Ashton bought my ice cream and we sat down.

"I'm gonna miss you Ash" I spoke up, looking sad. He noticed the sadness and replied, "I'm gonna miss you too you know". He realized I knew that, but still repeated it.  "It's just, without you, I have no body to hang out with. I'm a loser with no friends" I tried to make myself feel better.

"Yeah you are" I glared at him, " But you're my loser". My heart was filled with awed once he said that. I knew for sure that nobody is going to make me laugh like Ashton does. "What ever!" I screeched, trying to act like the way I acted when nothing bad happened.

"Hey why don't you go on tour with me?!?" his face lights up. I was shocked and suprised, "I don't know if my parents allow it". "C'mon", he plastered a goofy grin on his face. "No" I tried to deny him. "C'mon" he poked me in the face. "No!" I thought I was unbeatable until he pouted.

"Fine, I'll ask my mom" I eventually gave up and move on.

After that, Ashton drove me home. I walked into my house and I heard my mom crying. I looked around my dad was nowhere to be seen. I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom on the floor with her hands on her face.

"Mom?" I bent down in front of her and held her face. I slowly wipe away the tears on her face and gave her a genuine smile, "What's wrong mom?". "He left, Alison, he left" she sobbed. She looked up for a slight moment and I could see, in the light, her cheek had a red mark on it.

"Mom?" I studied her feature, "did he do this?". She nodded, "I thought I changed him for the better, but I guess he couldn't fight his habits". I knew exactly what she meant. My dad use to have drinking problems, but I he finally quit last year, well at least I thought he did. I guess my mom tried to stop him again, but it ended badly. "Mom?" I said, "Are you going to be alright?". 

"I'm moving to london and I can't bring you along but I can't leave you with him either" she went straight to the point.  "Mom, Ashton asked me to go on tour with him" I spoke up, knowing there was no point of staying here. "Just do as you please. I don't know what to do any more." I knew that the woman that raised me up, the woman with so much hope, was gone and there was no point in getting her back.

With that, I went to my room and packed my bags. I called Ashton to tell him I'm coming. "Okay but no backsies" I chuckled at him. I hung up the phone and looked out my window and I saw Luke. SHIT I thought. I totally forgot about Luke.

I guess I have to put up with him.

I felt a slighty itch on my nose. I moved my hand to my face to scratch it and I realized that my face is covered in whip cream. My eyes shot open. I saw a laughing Lucas in front of me as my body ignites with fury.

"Lucas!!!!!" I slapped him accross the face. He stood silent in frontof me and held his face.

I look at his face now covered in whip cream and said, "I hate you Luke Hemmings".
