there's nothing left *A Short Story* | HEMMINGS

05 - it all started with a lie...

it all started with a lie. it never meant to be anything real at least. no feelings, no nothing. just like any other pr stunt in hollywood, it was fun, you know, pretending to be a celebrity's "girlfriend". making other people jealous, hanging out with celebrities, going to parties, it was amazing.

then comes the lies, the rumors, the threats. oh how many threats i've gotten over the past three years.

it all started with a year. a year to make money and get publicity. it was supposed to be good for both luke and i. but those ocean eyes ruined everything. we even made a deal with management, signed a contract and everything. we promised each other.

but everytime i looked into those beautiful, hypnotising eyes, it messes with my head and makes me forget that i don't really mean anything to him.

amber hanah skies doesn't mean anything to luke robert hemmings.

-3 years ago-

"amber i don't know what your deal is, but you have to stop missing our dates. i don't care if you're sick, i don't care if someone died, both our careers depend on this, and your mistakes aren't going to screw this up!" luke screamed at me as soon as i walked in, this is the first time i got that burning sensation in my throat.

i stumbled back a little at his voice, and struggled with my words as i spoke, "oh- i uh- there was some uh- stuff holding me back at work today and i really couldn't get o-"

"i don't really give a fuck amber, i really don't." he walked off and stood at his bar to pour himself tequila. "now just go write another one of those shitty ass sappy songs of yours okay?" he interrupted my explanation, and tears started to stream down my face.

i'm not one to cry, i've only cried twice. when i broke my arm in 4th grade and when my mother died.

i stood there in shock, paralyzed almost. my face was emotionless, but tears continuously fell from my face as everything started to spin. "amber! did you not hear what i just fucking said! i said to lea- amber?" he turned the corner and saw me in a ball on the floor.

"amber! amber, what's wrong? hey," he crouched down beside me trying to wake me from this horrible state of fear and sadness. i didn't speak, i just sat there as luke watched me crumble to a million pieces from his words.

my mother was the reason i started to write songs and sing, she's the reason i'm following this passion of mine. luke doesn't know this, no one does. not even april. he doesn't understand how upsetting it was to loose my mother, his life is perfect he's never experienced pain like this before. now, oh i hope he feels pain sent from the devil himself.

this was also the first time luke showed me his true self. and looking back at this, i know he can get better. i believe in him.

-now-

the events from last night flashed through my mind. ashton in the dining hall, those hazel eyes...his swing at luke, luke on the ground...luke. the yelling, the broken bottles, my wrists, my back, my tears, my screams. luke. luke. luke. luke.

i looked down at my wrists again and fell off the bed.

it was all a dream.

"amber what happened?" said a deep voice from above me. it wasn't april, it can't be luke, it better not be ashton-

"michael?" i look around to find two more figures.

they come out from the shadows, "calum? oh my fu- ashton, what are you doing here?"

"we found you passed out in the street,"

"what even happened?" mike asked.

ashton sat on my bed and said as i moved away from him still scared, "it all started with a lie."
