There For You ( Luke Hemmings )

Chapter 20.

"Call me if anything happens," Ashton said to me as he hugged me.

"You're only going to be gone for a week, I'll be okay," I laughed.

"But just in case," he sighed.

"You don't have to worry about me all the time. You do know that?" I asked, "I have my mam to worry about me."

"I just worry about you the same way I worry about Lauren and Harry," He told me.

"I'm telling you now, you really don't need to. Now go and have fun this week," I laughed.

"Okay then, I'll try," He laughed. I closed the door and walked back inside. My mam smiled at me.

"What's that smile for?" I laughed picking up an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Just you and Ash," She smiled.

"Nope, not this again," I sighed, "Oh and Luke is coming over later on, so you can stop this belief that there is something between Ash and I."

I was actually really nervous about Luke coming over. I was afraid my mother wouldn't like him, but then I couldn't see how she wouldn't like. He was amazing, she had to like him.

"Oh is he? You sound so sure I'm okay with that," She joked.

"Well the main reason he's coming over is to meet you," I told her.

"What time?" She asked.

"Around 3, I think," I smiled.

"Okay well I have to go to a meeting at 4, soI'll be leaving around half 3," she told me.

I was really nervous. I so scared she wouldn't like Luke. I was worried that she wouldn't let me be with anybody because she thought Ashton liked me.

I was making up all these differet scenarios of how things could go wrong, half of them didn't even make sense. I mean she hadn't said anything about Luke up to that point, I was overthinking it too much. 

I quickly fixed my hair before running down the stairs. 

"Are you okay?" My mam asked as I walked into the living room.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Why?"

"You just look really pale," she informed me.

"New make-up," I lied. I always went pale when I was nervous. She didn't look convinced, but she say anything more on it.

When I was nervous, it was always really bad. There was no such thing as being a small bit nervous when it came to me. I was either really nervous or not nervous at all. It was the most annoying thing ever, I just got worked up over everything.

My phone beeped.

From Luke <3: I'm outside :)

I responded

To Luke <3: Ever hear of a doorbell? :D 

I stood up to get the door. I opened it and hugged Luke straight away. "Hi babe," he kissed the top of my head. I took his hand and lead him into the living room.

"Mam this is Luke, Luke this is my mam," I introduced them to each other. They quickly hugged each other.

"It's great to meet you," My mam smiled.

"It's great to meet you as well," Luke responded politely. 

We all sat down and made light conversation until my mam starting asking questions. One question was never enought with her. She needed to know everything. I felt sorry for Luke having to answer so many question. Some of the questions were normal but then were really weird ones.
