The Experiment [Luke Hemmings]

Chapter 2

Andreas P.O.V

I look at my bank account, and at the sight of my account balance my eyes widen. So they did end up paying me 500$ per week after all. After three years I have over 50,000 dollars saved. Well buying the tickets for Melanie and I sure won't be a problem. I go to the website that sells concert tickets. Since they are all sold out some companies buy extra then sell them to make money. I get regular floor tickets nothing too fancy,with meet and greet as well. I buy sound check just so I could get there before a lot of people show up. The concert is three days from now and I already am anxious.

"Melanie!! Come!"I call out to her

"What's up?" She replies drying her wet hair.

"I got us meet and greet,floor tickets and sound check tickets to the five seconds of summer concert that's in Chicago in three days" I casually say to her.

Her jaw drops with surprise "Dude how the hell did you get that money?" She replies, I can hear the excitement in her voice.

"The experiment people did end up paying me, so over three years I've saved up hella lot of money" I reply grinning

"Wow they paid you a lot," she says clicking on my bank account tab, looking at the balance. "It's a good way to make money" she has a thought,but shakes her head quickly.

"Just wondering. HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME LUKE GOT FAMOUS?" I give her an intense stare.

"I dunno." She waves me off walking to her room. Well, our room. We share a room in her tiny apartment.

Three days later

I get ready for the concert and look at myself in the mirror. I wore a high wasted white skirt and a baby blue crop tank top. I also wore black converse. I tried to make the most of my style from Melanie's clothes. I braided my dark brown hair in a fish tail to the side and put a blue bow in the back. I put on light pink lipstick and some foundation. I look at myself again, satisfied with my outfit.

"Lukeeeeey!" I rehearse to myself.

"Hi there Luke."

"Long time no talk!"

"I know, I have a lot of explaining to do."

God. Why do I care so damn much. I just want to explain to him what happened. I want him to know I didn't mean to do anything that hurt him.

"C'mon, we gotta go, concerts in a couple hours. We gotta get there early for the sound check!" I hear her shouts coming from the door.

I run up to the door and go into the car we rented. I rehearse each of their songs in my head. I memorized each and everyone one of them over the past three days. When we finally arrive I feel my heart beating fast. I was nervous to meet all of them but mostly Luke. I flew out all the way to Chicago for him. Well I was familiar with the u.s.a. We moved to Sydney when I was 14 because my dad got a job there. Melanie shakes me out of my thoughts, and I realize where I am. We were next in line. That line went by really fast. There was only one girl before us. I hand some guy our tickets and we get escorted in. We go through a long hallway and when I arrive to the sound check room I can hear their voices. I'm not sure what sound check is but all I know it's some thing before the show. The girl walks in and they all greet her with smiles. Melanie and I walk in and they greet Melanie. I hear Luke's voice and freeze.

"Helloooo." He says clearly not recognizing her. They all smile at her. Melanie looked gorgeous. They come up to me and I look up forming a quick smile on my face. They all say hi, and Luke finally turns away from Melanie and sees me. I can clearly see the shock running through his face. He gets red and dosent budge.

"Hi." He says in a cold voice.

I feel disappointment running through my body. I don't know why. It's not like I expected him to hug and kiss me..

I watch them practice a couple songs and they all are amazing. I can't believe I let the experimenters me for money. In the end I had no choice I had signed the contract. When it's finally break time Luke grabs my arm and takes me to another room.

"What the hell are you trying to do?" He asks and i hear anger in his voice

"I-I just wanted to talk to you, explain what happened." I mumble back.

"You think I can't see past through your little act? When we first started the band u treated me like shit. Didn't show any support. Told me I should change. Now that I have succeeded you come back? Seriously? Such bull." He screams looking me straight in the eye.

"You don't understand just let me explain plea-" I try and explain but he cuts me off.

"You know what I don't even wanna hear it right now ok?" He says turning around.

"Just listen!" I cry out.

"Take a hint, I don't want ANYTHING to do with you. THREE YEARS. U could've called. Texted. Emailed. Anything. Now you give a crap all of a sudden. I'm not buying it. Little 15-16 year old me was in love and it hurt," he starts laughing "you think you can trick me. Like I said, don't wanna heart it" he walks away rolling his eyes.

"They- they forced me too." I speak up.

"Oh wow okay now you're blaming it on some rando-" I cut him off

"The experimenters. I don't know who they are. What they want from me. They made me do all these things. I don't know why." I stop myself before I say more. The things they did to me were horrible but the last thing I want is pity.

Luke stands there confused. For the first time i stare at him and realize how much he changed. He starts playing with his lip ring with his mouth waiting for me to say something else. I immediately regret letting those words come out of my mouth. Im gonna have a lot of explaining to do.
