The Experiment [Luke Hemmings]

Chapter 8

AUTHORS NOTE: THIS CHAPTER IS CHEESY+ SORRY FOR MISTAKES, WROTE THIS ON A BUS

Luke P.O.V

I say my goodbyes to Andrea and we decided to hang out later today since I had to meet up with the boys. I walk in the studio and the boys are are standing there with worried looks plastered upon their faces.

"What's wrong did something happen?" I asked them.

"Yeah, just check your twitter." Michael replied walking up to me patting my back.

I unlock my phone and refresh my twitter. I go through my notifications and find a bunch of tweets with a picture attached. A picture of me and Andrea kissing attached. Shit, not already. We weren't even dating and his crap was already happening. But the question is who took it? The shop was basically empty except for that family who's sun we creeped out.

"Luke, I understand it's not your fault but you have to be more careful with this stuff!" Ashton shouts trying to keep calm.

"Guys, it's not big deal like have you seen my leaked photos, my ass is all over the internet" Calum says trying to lighten the mood.

"Well, what the hell am I supposed to say, that it's fake or?" I ask clearly not knowing what to do.

"That's up to you" Michael replies patting my back, once again.

Once we wrap up recording, I get a call from management on the picture. I decide to call Andrea and let her know what happened.

Andreas P.O.V

I get a call from Luke and answer right away.

"Hey, come to my hotel room we gotta talk." He quickly says and I nod in response, even though I know he can't see me. I make my way to his hotel room and he opens the door.

"What is it?" I ask piercing my lips walking into his room.

"Some photos of us kissing have been leaked, I don't know how or who." He states looking down at the floor.

"Oh," I say feeling sadness come upon me, it's not a big deal but my privacy being invaded like that is quite annoying.

"I don't know what to do or say to the fans, is the only problem." He adds scratching the back of his neck.

"Well you can't say they are fake because they look pretty real." I say looking at the image as Luke hands me his phone.

"I can't say we are dating because we aren't." He says fumbling over his words a bit.

"Yeah but if u say I'm some random chick you are kissing wouldn't that give you and I a bad image" I ask, kind of hurt that some random chick he is kissing is what I am.

"Hey, you're more than that," he says placing his hands on my shoulder "you know that's not what I mean ." He adds looking to my eyes.

I don't know what to reply so I look away.

"Maybe, we won't have to lie about being together, I-If we are together." He nervously says lifting my head up.

"Wait, are you aski-" he cuts me off before I can finish

"Yes I'm asking you to be my girlfriend. And not just because of the picture but because of the feelings I have for you. I mean, if you think of it, if it wasn't for those people forcing you, we'd still be together. How about we give you and I, another chance." He explains grabbing both my hands placing them in his. I feel mixed emotions washing over me. Luke Hemmings. The boy I loved. The boy I still love just asked me out.

"Of course Luke!" I reply and a huge smile appears on his face. He pulls me into a hug, and I hug back.

"But we have to make ground rules, you can't talk to any other male." He says trying to act serious

"You better be kidding" I say holding back a laugh.

"Of course I am" he says as he sits on his bed grabbing his phone.

"Do you have a twitter?" Luke asks as he refreshes his twitter.

"Yup," I say popping the p "I made it when I moved in with Melanie." I say, deciding not to let the memories of what happened come upon me.

I grab his phone and search up my twitter, and he follows me. I fake freak out because I got a follow from Luke Hemmings when I check my twitter. I refresh it and I find a mention from Luke Hemmings. I click it and the picture of us kissing appears and over it, it says

"Why, isin't this a nice picture of us?@andreacrilson_"

I laugh at his tweet and when I refresh my twitter again, and see I had earned over 200 follower. I also notice many, negative tweets. I decide to lock my phone and not pay attention to those tweets.

"Well, I have to get going, see ya" I say pulling Luke into a hug.

I walk out the room, and at that exact moment I get a text from an unknown number. I gasp as I read the words on my screen.

"Do you really think we are gonna let things go well for you that easily? If you did, good luck. Watch out.

- The experimenters"

I take in a deep breath and lock my phone. I make my way to my hotel room. I lock the door behind me, and sit on my bed. These people, they've ruined a huge part of my life. I won't let them again. Even if it takes a fight.

Luke's P.O.V

I get a call from management about an hour after Andrea left.

"Did you get her to date you?" Sydney my management asks with her usual serious tone.

"Yea, I did" I reply blankly.

When management called, they told me I had to get the girl in the photo with me to date me, or else our image as a band could be ruined. I mean, I really meant it when I said I liked Andrea but I'm not sure if I was ready to date, that kind of comitment. But now, I don't have a choice.

"Luke, you know it's best this way. For your career." She says trying to console me.

"Yea, yea I know." I reply blankly, yet again.

"And it's not like you are faking your feelings, why would you of have kissed her in the first place?" Sydney asked.

"I was caught up in the moment, all that matters is I did what you told me to do." I say trying to wrap up the conversation. I never really liked Syndey.

"Okay, Luke try to keep it going for about two months. After that, it's all on you" and with that she hung up.

I wasn't sure about my feelings towards Andrea, but now I don't really have a choice but to figure it out fast, or else these two months are gonna suck for me. I also have to make sure Andrea dosen't find out, that management is the reason I asked her out.
