When Dreams Come True (A Luke Hemmings Fanfic) {ON HOLD}

Chapter 18

Luke’s POV

I sat in the recording studio at 6:30 at night, but it felt like 10 because of everything going on today. We had to be at a different place, one location right after the other without any breaks in-between.

“Let’s do Too Late for our last song,” the man behind the glass said to us. We were all so tired that we could barely muster a nod in response.

Calum began to sing the first lines of the verse.

Ever since the day that we met

I couldn’t get you out of my head

There was always something about you

Every chance that I seem to get

Finds a way to end in regret

There was always something about you. I began to prepare for my part to sing and started to look closer into the lyrics.

Jealousy keeps containing me

In time you’ll see

Just what we could be. I wonder what it’s like to be in love. I began to think about meeting ‘the one’ who would be for me when we started the chorus.

But I’m always too late

I’m always too late

I see you but I always hesitate

‘Cause I’m always too late. I began to zone out a bit because of being so tired when a word hit me. LATE. THE DATE.

“Shit, shit, shit,” I began to say as I ripped the headphones off of my head and sprinted to the corner of the recording room to gather up all of my stuff.

“Luke, what the hell are you doing?” Ashton yelled. I looked up to see everyone with their headphones off, staring at me and giving me odd looks.

“I had a date and I’m now an hour late,” I said grabbing my phone and looking at the screen

8:30 PM

3 missed calls from Erica<3

5 unread text messages from Erica<3         

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!” I yelled and sprinted out the door to my car. I plugged in the address to Erica’s house that she gave me yesterday to my phone and sped off towards her house.

While I was stopped at a stop light, I banged my hands on the steering wheel and ran my hands through my hair.

“Fuck, I just fucking MET her and managed to screw it up already. I’m an idiot!” I yelled at myself. I looked at the navigation to see that her house was just around the corner after forty five minutes of driving.

I pulled into her driveway and sprinted up towards the house. A man, I’m guessing her dad, opened the front door.

“Hi, I’m Luke and I really really need to talk to your daughter it’s extremely important. I’m so sorry for being late, I got too caught up in the studio and I couldn’t get away and I just noticed the time and-” Her dad cut me off.

“Son, calm down. You can head on upstairs. Her bedroom is down the hall, third door on the left,” he told me, opening the door wider for me to get inside.

“Thank you so much,” I panted and sprinted up the stairs. I slowed down as I approached the door and tried to listen because I heard voices. Was Erica… Crying? Oh, fuck, I really did it this time.

 I could feel my nerves build up in my chest as I slowly opened the door. Erica and Kori stopped talking, and I looked in Erica’s tearful and sad eyes.

“Luke?”

I’m surprised she’s even talking to me after what I did.

“Please let me explain what happened,” I begged, stepping further into the room and walking towards Erica.

“I’ll leave you two alone now,” Kori said, giving me a knowing look that said you-better-make-this-better and walked out the door. I turned to Erica and began to tell her everything.
