The Experiment [Luke Hemmings]

Chapter 3

I instantly walk out the room where Luke and I were talking alone. I try to find Melanie, and I find her talking on the phone, in a secretive place. I usually am not a nosy person but I can't help but eavesdrop.

"So you'll give me that much money if I hand her to you." She interrogates the person on the phone.

"Hell I'm in." She says smiling and clicks on end wrapping up the conversation.

I can't believe what just happened. She was gonna give me up that easily just for money. Wow people sure as hell aren't the way they seem. She turns around the corners and looks at me in surprise.

"What the hell are you doing here" she asks surprised.

Looking her in the eye I reply "Stop trying to play your innocent act I heard the whole thing."

"I-I uh-uh wasn't actually gonna do it I swear!" she says stumbling over her words.

"Bullshit." I simply say.

"You don't understand I'm really bro-" i cut her off

"Stop with the lies! If you needed money you could've freaking asked me for it! Just get the hell out." I shout as loud as I can.

"Go where I'm in America for gods sake!" she says sounding scared at my response.

"Find your own way home skank." I don't know why the word skank comes to my head. It really is irrelevant but I spit it out live venom. Melanie looks hurt but I don't give a crap.

"I'm sick of all you people using me!" I scream starting break down. I run out of the stadium and sit in the side walk. I hear footsteps beside me. Hoping it's Luke I turn around and see that girl that was in the sound check room with us.

"Hey I saw what happened, you alright?" she asks with a genuine smile.

"Just sick of these people using me." I blankly say. Right now I wanna be alone. No I don't. I actually don't know what I want anymore.

"Tell you what, let's go back in the room. Whoever that bitch was left anyway so you won't be seeing her face." She says trying to cheer me up.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I question. For all I know she could be working for the experimenters.

"Id do anything for a fellow fan" she says with a cheesy smile.

Nachos. I laugh at the inside joke Luke and I used to have. Whenever someone said something cheesy we'd say Natchos. Simply because we like our nachos with a lot of cheese. I realize the girl is staring at me and I quickly shake my head. She helps me up and I realize I haven't introduced myself.

"My names Andrea." I say smiling back at her.

"I'm Jen" she says walking towards the stadium, me following her. I quickly take a glance at her body and look at how she is dressed. She is wearing a long blue skirt with a cute patterned crop top, that showed her stomach a bit. Under the skirt she was wearing simple blue heels. Her curled hair had purple ombré in it and it looked beautiful. Maybe she was gonna end up being a pretty decent friend.

Melanie honestly was the last person I trusted. I went through a lot in high school (before I was, ya know locked up). And had trust issues. I think those are coming back. We walk in the room and Luke looks at me. He looks at me and he smiles- it was a sincere smile. Then I realize he was smiling at Mira.

At the concert I was having a blast. Even though I know Luke hates me I felt like maybe his hatred was starting to fade a bit. Every now and then he'd give me a quick smile. I actually felt really bad about what I had done to him. I treated him like shit- like I said it wasn't my choice. I keep remind myself; it wasn't my choice, but guilt over comes me. In the middle of the concert I have a flash back.
