Drummer boy [5sos]

Chapter 11

"I'm free!" I said spinning around in the fresh air as my mum, Luke and I exited the hospital together.

The doctor had told me a list of conditions though and made sure Luke and my mum knew about them

1. Wasn't aloud anywhere on my own except the shower.

2. keep sharp objects out of the bathroom.

3. make sure I was eating three meals a day

I don't know what number 3 was about. I probably ate too much.

"Race ya to the car" I said to Luke even though I had no idea where the car was.

"Your on!" he said speeding past me.

"Hey! No fair!" I called out as I started running off after him. how he did not trip with those noodle legs I would never know.

.

"Welcome to your new home" Luke said opening the front door to his house for me i walked strait into the kitchen.

"Non hospital food!" I said and managed to get a small smile from my mum. she didn't laugh as much as before. It was understandable as she just lost one son and nearly lost another.

"We saved some of your things from your room, they are in boxes upstairs in my room" Luke said and grew curious.
I ran upstairs and saw two boxes. one was full of clothes that smelt like mum had put them through the wash 50 times after the fire. the other had bits and pieces of random stuff.

I froze when I picked up a picture of Harry and i. it was two years ago and we went to the beach for his birthday. He just missed his birthday this year by one day.

"Hey ash, dinner is.. are you okay?" Luke said kneeling beside me. after his gaze lands upon the photo I'm holding he looked at me with sympathy. I don't need his pity.

"You weren't suppose to leave me alone" I said quietly throwing the picture across the room. "are you coming with me to eat or not" I said to Luke who was still kneeling on the ground.

He slowly got up and followed me out of the room. I feel bad for snapping at him now. he didn't deserve it. he was only trying to help.

Not everyone could sit around the table so Luke and I sat on the couch and ate. It was a bit awkward between Luke and I. I guess he didn't know what to say to me. "Sorry for snapping earlier" I said quietly.

"I understand" was all he said and we continued to eat in silence.

"Ashton, would you like to go house hunting tomorrow?" my mum asked me.

"Not really, I was gonna hang out with the guys" I said and she nodded heading out of the room. Luke looked at me strangely "what?"

"Nothing" he said shaking his head "it's just you can see she's making an effort to bond with you I guess, I don't know" I didn't know what to say to that so I just

I don't really want to go house hunting. nothing will ever come close to how great our house was. maybe it's just that I had all those memories growing up with Harry there and this new house wouldn't include him. it won't be home without him.
