Broken Home

eight

Yesterday was one of the worst days of my life.

After Luke and I had calmed ourselves down at the park, we met up with the guys and Ashlee at the diner to get some ice cream. It made me really happy because it was just like old times, like nothing was wrong or different.

Now it's Tuesday and the boys are leaving tomorrow. Luke has been arguing with his mum nonstop since Saturday about where I'm going to go when he goes on tour. They're currently in the kitchen arguing about it right now, so I decide to make my way to eavesdrop.

"Mum, she can't stay here all alone with Jack and Ben without me!" Luke says.

"Then what do you want her to do? Go back and live in her old house all alone?" Luke tried to cut in but she shut him up. "Or, would you like her to go and live with her family? Oh wait, she doesn't have any!"

Ouch...

"How about she comes on our with us? You know the guys would be more than happy to have her there and the 1D guys are dying to meet her." Luke says. All of his words send goosebumps to cover my whole body. Are One Direction really dying to meet me?

"Luke, I'm not sending her to live with a bunch of hormonal teenage boys for three months!" Liz says. Although I can't see her, I can practically hear her hands on her hips. I decide to leave before I get caught.

I go and sit in Luke's room until he returns. Even though now it's technically our room, I still feel like my parents are on vacation and I'm staying with Luke for the meantime.

Luke came into his room and slammed his door.

"Woah, you alright?" I laugh.

"No. Liz is being a bum." He sighed before sitting beside me then laying on his back.

"Care to tell me?" I ask, laying beside him.

He doesn't say anything for a moment. He suddenly sits up. "Do you wanna live with me? Like on tour?"

I sit up and stare at him like I haven't heard his previous conversation with Liz. "Really?" I ask.

"Yeah. I really don't want you living with my brothers while I'm not here. They're buffoons." He tells me.

"Luke, you act like I haven't practically lived here my whole life." I laugh.

"Please, Mags." Luke says, grabbing my hands. "You'll get to travel Europe! And meet the guys! And, mum won't give in unless you say you want to."

"I'd love to, Luke." I smile. He yanks me up off the bed and drags me to the kitchen where Liz still is.

"Yes?" Liz questions.

"Maggie says she wants to come on tour with me!" Luke says like a three year old.

"I'm just not sure that-" Liz starts, but Luke cuts her off.

"Mum, they're not animals. Maggie's practically lived with us the guys and me her whole life! It's not like she's not used to it." Luke says.

Liz looks over at me as is asking what I think without saying anything. "I really want to go, Liz. I think that getting out of this town is really what I need right now." I tell her.

She sighs, placing her hand on her hip. "Oh, alright." She says. Luke and I instantly start jumping up and down like toddlers. "One condition!" She says putting her hand in the air to stop us from jumping. "You do not let her out of your sight, do you understand?" Liz asks.

"Yes ma'am." Luke says, smiling at me.
