I've got this friend ~ //Luke Hemmings//

Chapter 9 - //New Beginnings//

-Luke's POV-

I woke up, my mind replaying the events of yesterday in my head, over and over. I couldn't believe she would do this. I wasn't even angry, just.. upset. Upset that she would leave, that she won't tell me whats going on, that she won't reply to my texts or calls, that she doesn't know where shes going, or what shes doing. I hate to see her like that. But I don't know where she is now. 

I had been like this since yesterday, lying in bed, crying, but mostly just thinking. The guys are worried, but I'm fine. I'm really just worried about Alyssa.

-Alyssa's POV-

The bus pulled up and I hopped in. I took a seat in the middle of the bus. Just 2 more bus trips and a ferry ride and i'll be in Tasmania. I was but also wasn't looking forward to Tasmania. I still wasn't sure what I was doing going all the way to Tasmania. But hey, thats why I'm taking this trip right? To sort myself out.

I didn't know why I had left Luke like that. Why I hadn't responded to is texts or calls, or why I had broken up with him just like that. I had just left him and my only other friends standing there. I hadn't even said goodbye. What kind of horrible person was I? I still loved Luke, I just needed some time away to think, to fix myself. I don't like relying on other people to much. I'll just end up hurting them. Like I did with Luke.

I thought back to home, then to Jake. Wait, I had just left Jake too. And he didn't even know it. He's already struggling, god knows i've only made it worse. He'll be wondering where I am, and he'll have to deal with dad on his own. And what if he hurts himself again? Tries something new and more devastating? I'll be in freaking Tasmania, selfishly fixing myself before helping him. I need to start thinking of others. I guess I can add that to my list of things I need to fix about myself. I quickly sent a text to Jake about where I was going and why. He texted me back asking me if he could meet me there. I thought about it. I know that Jake definitely needs some time to himself, and it would be good if he had someone to support him that won't hold him back. I texted him back telling him he could if he wanted to. I also asked him to bring me some things for me if he was packing. 

The bus pulled up to the stop and I got off, and waited for the next bus. I was still worrying about Luke. I was about to check his messages, but something inside stopped me. I don't know what, but I couldn't bring myself to look. I was being so selfish. The next bus pulled up and I went on. I sat in a seat and plugged in my headphones. I put on "Beside you" By Five Seconds of Summer. I leaned my head against the window and started to cry. I missed Luke so much. I eventually fell asleep, knowing that I had a long way to go.

-Luke's POV- 

"Luke you can't be like this forever. You need to get up. We all know how much you miss her, but that can't stop you from doing everyday things" Calum said softly.

"She'll come back Luke, I promise" Michael said. I sighed and got up for the first time in two days. I couldn't stop thinking about Alyssa. 

"We have to practise Luke. We have a few gigs in Tasmania on Monday" Ashton sighed.

"I know" I mumbled, walking like a zombie downstairs.

" 'Atta boy" Said Cal, patting me on the back.

I chuckled and made myself breakfast. I sat down on the couch and watched Spongebob Squarepants. Eventually, after about 12 episodes I managed to get up and get dressed. I headed downstairs to practice with the guys. After a few hours I got tired and went to bed. I wondered where Alyssa would be. I guess she would be asleep. Why did she leave so abruptly? What happened? I gave up on trying to think for the night. I curled up and went to sleep, Alyssa on my mind.
