-Luke-
“I’m so hyped,” Calum said as he jumped around the hotel lobby.
“No more sugar for you then,” Michael told him.
“What if I got into your candy bricks?” he asked cheekily.
“If you touched my candy bricks I will slay you”
I chuckled with them as my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and saw my mum’s caller ID.
“Luke’s in trouble”
“She could be calling to say hi,” I rolled my eyes. “Hi mum”
“Lucas Robert Hemming!” she said angrily.
“Uh oh,” I mumbled. “What’s wrong?”
“How long has it been since you’ve spoken to Lacy?”
“I-I don’t know. A week maybe?”
“No. It’s been two weeks and before your brief chat it was two weeks before that”
“So?” I asked.
“She is your girlfriend Luke and you’ve spoken to me plenty of times since you’ve left”
“I don’t think she minds mum,” I told her.
“Lucas! She is your girlfriend and she’s the one who informed me of this situation. She told me she’s tried contacting you many times but you haven’t replied. I suggest you call her right now because something really big has happened to that poor girl and you won’t take her calls to find out what it is”
“What happened?” I asked.
“That’s not for me to tell you. Call your girlfriend or you’re in big trouble,” she said then disconnected the call.
“Luke’s in trouble!” Ashton teased.
“When was the last time you called Jezzy?” I asked him.
“Last night. Why?”
“Well I’m a shit boyfriend,” I said then walked ahead.
I found Lacy’s contact then pressed call. It took four rings but she picked up.
“Hi,” I told her.
“Hey,” she said back.
“How are you?” I asked.
“Can we please Skype. I need to tell you something,” her voice itched with plead.
“Sure. Give me five minutes”
“Ok,” she said then hung up.
I opened the door to my hotel room and immediately grabbed my laptop. I waited for it to log in then logged into Skype. They annoying chime started so I clicked accept for the call.
“You look nice,” I told her.
“Thanks. Dad and Lillian are taking Markus and I out for a surprise tonight”
“That’s nice,” I smiled.
“Where’s your ring?” she asked and I looked down at my hand.
“Uh…in my suitcase I think”
“How long has it been since you’ve worn it?”
“What was it that you needed to tell me?”
“Don’t change the subject Luke. How long has it been?”
“Two weeks…I think,” I told her and her expression turned to one of pain.
“So you lied to me?” she asked.
“What?”
“You broke your promise”
“What promise?” this question hurt her even more, from what I could see.
“The promise you dick! The one where you promised you wouldn’t take off the ring!”
“Oh,” I said, feeling my stomach drop.
“Why’d you leave it off?”
“Because I forgot to put it on. Why is it so important?”
“Because Luke! You’re away for five more months and you can’t even keep one…tiny…promise! That promise meant everything to me and you broke it! I can’t believe you Luke! Also if you’d picked up you’d know that Markus wanted to talk to you about what’s been going on”
“What happened Lacy?”
“I’m really not in the mood to speak to you right now. Goodbye Luke”
“Lacy don’t you dare hang up on me,” I demanded.
“Why not? You let my calls ring out, my texts pile up, my Skype calls dismiss themselves. That hurts Luke. It hurts to know you’re not putting in any effort. So I should have to put in any effort right now when I’m mad at you,” she said then wiped under her eyes.
“Lacy, please don’t cry,” I pleaded.
“Why not? It’s not like you’re here to comfort me anyway. You’re the cause of my tears,” I felt a sting in my heart and tears start to well up in my eyes.
“Lacy I’m sorry”
“Well you’re starting to tear my heart out of my chest and sorry won’t fix it,” she said then ended the call.
I rubbed my face and let out a groan as I threw myself back against the mattress. What…the fuck…have I done?
