Imagine A World (Luke Hemmings a.u.) [in editing]

26 Drama

Madeline's POV

"Cuddle!"

I watch Calum wrap his arms around Luke with a small, sad smile on my face. I haven't felt the same since he told me about his cancer. He doesn't want me treating him differently, but it's so hard not to.

It's been nearly a week since that night.

He hasn't told the boys that I know yet, from what I can tell. They're still treating me like everything is alright, like Luke is completely fine. I can't accept it that easily, though. Two of my grandparents died of cancer. I don't want to lose him, too.

"Get off of me!"

"CUDDLE!"

Ashton is giggling as he records the situation for a keek.

"Calum, get off my boyfriend, I'm the only one allowed to be that intimate with him!" I scold while Ash is still filming. Calum, who's on Luke's lap, pouts and scoots off as I snuggle in between the two if them.

"Don't mess with the girlfriend!" Ashton exclaims to the camera, laughing. I snap my fingers in a "Z" and give a look of mock-threat to the phone.

Michael walks in as Ashton is posting the keek, holding a large bag of Doritos and stuffing large handfuls into his mouth.

"What's going on?" he asks, his voice muffled from his full mouth.

"Keek," Ashton says simply, shrugging.

"Cal is getting too close with my bæ," I say, jutting out my lower lip as Luke pulls me closer to him.

Michael rolls his eyes. "Oh, what ever shall you do? Calum has touched the sacred Hemmo! Only Madeline has the authority to do such a thing!"

"He was assaulting him!" I defend, but I'm smiling a little. Stupid, pointless arguments are what I live for.

"Sure he was."

"He kind of was," Luke grumbles in my defense.

"See! Even Luke agrees!"

"Whatever." Michael crams another handful of chips into his mouth, then plops down on the other side of Calum, turning the TV on.

Luke rolls his eyes in my direction, then stands, stretching. He looks down at me and offers me his hand.

"What?" I ask, still accepting it.

"It's been two months. We need to upload a YouTube video to your account."

"🎶Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you to

Don't forget me, I beg

I remember you saying,

'Sometimes it last in love, but sometimes it hurts instead'!🎶"

I smile softly towards the camera, and Luke gets up to turn it off.

"That was great," he tells me, placing the guitar on his bed and placing his arm over my shoulder. "You're getting even better, you know."

I nod, not really listening.

"Hey," he says, pulling my face towards his. "What's up with you lately? Is it me? Is it the cancer? Tell me what's wrong. You've been too quiet."

"Luke, I-" I try to speak, but my voice breaks and I can't continue. Tears start to flow after being held in too long, and Luke pulls me into his chest.
