Chapter twelve

Luke's P.O.V

My eyes open to the sun coming in through the big window beside the bed and all of my memories catch up to me. Shit, it's been on hell of a few days. Even though I have slept through most of it. I get out of bed having to pee like a mother fucker, so I walk to Marie's huge bathroom, damn, Marie is loaded. Or her parents are, either way, she has a lot of money. At least I don't have to worry about her roofying me to steal my money. Not that she's the type of person to do something like that. But it's good to make a joke about it. I relieve myself and then flush. Man, I'm starving, I wash my hands and look up into the mirror. God damnit, I look like I got murdered and then hit by a car. I decide to take a quick shower and then walk out of the bathroom towards the living room where I'm assuming everyone is.

Yepp, I was right. Everyone that I'm close with is sitting in the huge living room that could seat like fifty people. I smile to let everyone know that I'm really okay. I hate people worrying about me. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Mike says with a smile and Maire hits him playfully on the shoulder trying to look serious. Well at least they are going to make jokes about it. Sarah and Ryan are sitting on the love seat holding hands and his free arm is around her in a comforting way. Well that's nice to see I think to myself. Marisa is sitting in between Jake and Mike on the huge couch that could fit five people. I decide to sit at the chair in the corner. "Yeah, thanks mike, And please everyone, let's just forget that shit even happened. I'm fine, and I'm sure those ass holes will be in jail for a very long time. So let's drop it." I say to everyone in the room. Ryan clears his throat like he always does when he doesn't want to say whatever it is he is about to say. "Umm... I called Carol and Bob."He looks really uncomfortable and he should. I start turning red and shake with anger.

"What. The. Fuck?" I scream at him as I get up from the chair and start pacing. "Chill bro, it will be okay. But they do want to see you." He said standing up and walking across the room to calm me down, nothing will until they get the fuck out of my life and stay there. Marie and Sarah look really confused, while Mike and Jake look really uncomfortable. Like the room has somehow shrank in size. It feels like it has, this is not good. I have'nt seen them since I dropped out of high school and they kicked me out. Why the fuck would he call them? He knows what all went down, he knows how they are. "Why the fuck would you call them?" I say while pushing his hand off of my arm and I walk to the kitchen. I need a fucking drink.

"I figured they should know man, I mean come on you could have died. They are flying back from Greece right now and should be here at nine tonight." He says while running his hand through his hair, he does that when he knows he fucked up. And he did, big time. I take a shot of gin and let out a heavy sigh. "Well you see that I'm fine. Tell them that, I'm NOT seeing them." I say as I pour another. This is worse the being kidnapped and drugged. I would rather be run over by a train then see those mother fuckers again. Ryan sits down at the bar and tells me "Yeah, well when I called them, you weren't. And when I called them to tell them you were fine yesterday they refused to not come see you. They said that they have been meaning to see you for a while now." Meaning to see me? Is he fucking high? They are only saying that to make them look good. I'm not that hard to find, I mean come on? I'm on TV all the time and in magazines. I'm not that hard to find at all.

"What the fuck ever. I'm not seeing them. I'm going to a hotel tonight and I'm not telling you where. I'll call you in a few days and ask if they are gone. If they are not, I'm hiding out until they are. Fix what you have done." I yell at him while grabing my car keys that are on the bar. I ahve never been this mad at this before. I slam the door behind me and walk down the short hallway and slam my hand on the elevator button, I hear the door to Marie's apartment open and close lightly. I turn around about to yell at Ryan but then I see Marie and she is holding a bag and looks like she's out of breath. "I want to come with you, you need a friend right now and you don't need to be alone either." She said as she is holding on tightly to a bag full of random clothes. "Okay." I say defeated, I'm too tired to fight right now. We get in the elevator and don't say anything the whole time until we get in my car. "So where are we going?" She said excitedly, I'm guessing she's never done this before.

"Ireland." I say absentmindedly. I look over to her and she looks so excited. "I guess you are excited to go?" I say with the first smile I have had since I woke up. "Hell yeah! I have always wanted to go there! But I don't have my passport." She said sadly and looking down at her bag. How cute, I think to myself. "You wont need one, were taking my private jet." I say knowingly. With shock on her face she nods happily and sits back in her seat. I make the proper phone calls I need to make and we get there an hour later. I also pay them off so that they don't tell Ryan or any of the band members where we are going. "If you need to call anyone, you should. I don't know how long we will be gone." I tell Marie as I get out of the car and grab her bag. She nods and then pulls out her phone. I put my hand over her hand that's holding the phone and add "But you can't tell them where we are going. Lie if you have too." She looks up at me with understanding on her face, so I leave her alone to make the calls.

I walk up to the pilot and he shakes my hand and says good evening sir. I nod towards him and get on the plane, I have to admit, I am shocked that Marie is willing to do this with me. It makes me respect her a lot more. I would definitely do the same for her, if I ever had to. And that scares the crap out of me. She boards the plane with a huge smile and she sits in one of the huge window seats in the front. I laugh to myself and grab me and here a drink and then take a seat beside her. I hold out her drink to her while clearing my throat since she is looking out the window. She turns to me and smiles a genuine smile and takes it, our fingers grace eachother's and it feels like electricity is flowing through us. It's fucking weird, but cool at the same time. "So, thanks for coming with me. I would be really bored if I was alone, and that would just make me think of everything and then that would make me even angrier." I say as I take a sip of the drink, it burns slightly but warms my throat and stomach.

"I don't mind at all, I'm always here if you need me." She says with another one of ther genuine smiles and turns back to the window. I think I'm going to like this trip, I have been to Ireland before but for work, so I never got to go have fun and sight see. Speaking of work, I guess i wont be able to do the next few shows, and for once I don't give a fuck. I sit back and relax next to Marie, this is going to be a fun trip. I smile to myself and doze off.
