Mystery Luke (Luke Brooks fanfic)

Chapter 2

I chucked my bag on the floor and went and sat down on the lounge where the TV was already on. "MUM!" I yelled out. But there was no answer. "CALLUM!" But still no answer. It was weird because mum would always be home by 3 waiting for me and Callum to come home from school. I walked into the kitchen and seen a note on the fridge. It said 'gone to take Callum to his friends house, be back in 20 mins'. I got some frozen mango pieces from the freezer and put them into a bowl. I went and got changed into some sweatpants and a t shirt and went back down stairs and sat down to watch The Fault In Our Stars.

It was now 6:30pm and mum still wasn't home. I decided to ring her. But there was no answer. I was just about to ring Callum when the house phone rang. I got up and answered it. "Hello?" I said. "Ah hello is this the Bamford residence?" The lady on the phone asked. "Yes it is, why?". I was beginning to get worried. "I'm sorry to inform you but...." She began. "Your mother Dianne and your brother Callum have been in a car accident". I began to cry, a lot. "Where- where are they now?!" I said panicking. "They are at the Hospital" the lady said calmly. I dropped the phone and ran out the door and got into my car. I drove quickly down to the hospital. Tears were rolling down my face I could hardly see the road. Once I reached the hospital I ran straight into reception. "Where's my mum?!" I yelled at the lady. "Miss Bamford?" She asked me. "What?!" I yelled. " your mums upstairs in 274 and your brother is down the hall in the children's ward in 329" she said.

I ran up the stairs to room 274 and stood in front of my mums shut door. Did I want to see her like this? What if she died? I opened the door slowly and walked in without looking at her. I shut it behind me and stood there. I began to cry again. She had a bleeding scar on her head, her right arm in a sling, cords and cables coming from here and there. I sat down on the chair next to her and put my hand on top of hers and began to ball my eyes out. A nurse came in and stood at the door. I had my head on my mums arm looking down as tears leaked from my eyes. "Jess?" The lady asked. "I think you might want to go see your brother, your mum is fine". I looked up with red puffy eyes. "Callum" I whispered to myself.

I pushed past the lady and ran to the children's ward. I forgot what number she said so I just kept running. My bear feet on the cold ground. I felt like I was going to fall over. The headache from the crying. I ran past a room with the door open. I then realised it was Callum's room. I ran back and into the room. "CALLUM!" I yelled. The nurses looked at me but I just looked at Callum. He looked life less. Like he didn't want to be here anymore. I sat down beside him and the nurses left. I cried with all the tears I had left. A nurse came back in "he's in a coma" and then she left. "Callum?" I said in a soft voice. "Come on time to get up" I said slightly shaking his arm. "Callum!" I said, a bit louder. "Com on Callum, I know I can sometimes be mean but I want you to know I will always love you Cal" I struggled to say. "If your here in this room and you can hear me, please come back, don't go to that light Cal. I love you and so does mum" I said through tears. The machine began to beep and I got left in the room as the the nurses and doctors wheeled his bed out of the room.

I followed them down to a room with windows so you could see in. They were yelling and trying to do something. But I couldn't see what. After ten minutes of standing there at the window a nurse looked at me and nodded. I felt relieved that he was okay. I sat down on the chair in the waiting room with my head rested against the wall. Callum came out on his bed and went back into his room. I went in to see him still with his eyes shut, his skin pale and as white as snow. I felt like crawling up into a ball and crying for hours. I went back to mums room to see her in the same place as before. I sat down next to her and held her hand again. I pulled out my phone and texted Casey.

- I'm at the hospital, mum and Callum were in a car accident, they are alright but Callum is in a coma but I'm not sure about mum.

Before I pressed send I sat there looking at the text. I pressed send and shut my eyes with my head rested on the bar around the bed.

I woke up with a sore neck and a headache. I looked up to see mum still with her eyes shut. I checked my phone and had 26 messgaes from Casey, 38 missed calls, and surprisingly 4 missed calls from Luke. As I was looking down at my phone I began to cry again. The thoughts that if my mum and Callum might not come back hit me like a bus, where would I go, how would I live without them, they are all I have left. Tears rolled down my face onto the floor like it was raining. I looked at mum then back to the ground and rested my head on the bar of the bed. Someone walked in but I didn't look up to see who it was. "Whyyyyyyy" i whined loudly through tears. I looked up to see Casey standing behind the shut door crying. I ran up to her and hugged her as hard as I could.

After half an hour of talking to Casey and more crying we decided to check on Callum. We walked down the cold corridor to his room. When I opened his door he layed there still with his eyes shut. I began to cry again and Casey rubbed my back for comfort. I sat down next to him and Casey sat on the other side. We both held his hands together and closed our eyes hoping for a miracle. After a minute of holding hands and praying for something to happen, nothing did. A tear rolled out of my eye and landed on Callum's arm. "I love you so so much Callum" I said. "Ahhhhhhhhhh" I said crying and sobbing. I could also hear Casey crying. Then something moved. I thought it was just Casey, I looked up and saw Callum looking at me with his blue eyes that I have missed. "CALLUM!" I yelled jumping on him and hugging him tight. "I though I was going to loose you" I said. He smiled and looked at me. "I would never leave you Jess" he said smiling. I cried even more and he hugged me. Casey left and sat in the waiting room.

I sat back down next to him and held his hand. "What happened?" Callum asked me sitting up. "You and mum were in a car accident" I said softly rubbing his arm. "Where is she, I need to see her!" He said about to get up. "She's okay Cal, she's just resting" he let out a sigh of relief and laid back down. "Get some rest, I'll go check on mum" I said standing up and walking to the door. "Ah Jess" he said just as I was about to leave. "Yeah?" I asked. "I love you too" he said smiling. I smiled back and continued walking. As I walked out of the child ward and I was walking to mums room someone yelled my name from downstairs. I stopped at the stairs and seen Luke jog up to meet me. "Oh hey" I said. He didn't say anything he just hugged me. His scent was as amazing as always. He looked tired and was wearing sweatpants and a shirt with just socks. "Why are you here?" I said during the hug. "I want to be here for you" he said. We pulled away and I looked blankly at him. He pulled my arm and we sat on some chairs against a wall

Luke and I talked for ages about 'us' and how much he has always seen me in class but has been to scared to ask me out. And when Casey told Beau about my mum and Callum, Beau told Luke and he came here. "How long have you been here for?" I asked. "Well how long have you been here for?" He asked me. "About...." I checked my phone. It was 1am. "Oh shit about six and a half hours" I said. "Oh well I have been here for six then" Luke said. I smiled and hugged him again. I felt safe around him. Like everything was going to be okay. I held Lukes hand and I look him to mums shut door. "You don't have to Jess" he said. I ignored him and opened the door. I pulled Luke in and we both sat down next to mum. I had no tears left to cry so I just sat there blankly. "Mum I want you to meet Luke, he is one of my friends and is really nice" I said. "I really like your daughter Mrs Bamford" Luke said. "Keane" I corrected him. "My mums maden name is Keane". We smiled at each other.
