Returning... sequel to Meant to be Luke Hemmings, 5SOS fan fiction

22

"So, How was Michaels?" Luke asks me trying to include me in everyone's conversations.

"Good." I say quietly. He smiles sadly and nods. He can tell I'm upset.

Of course I'm upset! My bed friends hate me! Although I do kind of deserve it. I snapped at them for no reason. Oh no! I'm becoming the old me. The one who didn't care about other people and who was a bitch to everyone else. I don't want to go back there. I can't! I have a daughter. But no one cares. Oh my god. I'm a horrible person. I'm a horrible person, horrible friend, horrible sister, horrible girlfriend. I'm a horrible mother.

"Rose? Are you okay?" I look up from my lap and see Luke looking at me intently. I look around and see everyone else staring at me. I feel my heart start beating faster and I stand up and run. I run out the front door. I stop once I reach the sidewalk and begin walking.
"Rose! Wait!" I hear Luke calling behind me. I ignore him but somehow he managed to get in front of me and hold my arms gently, keeping me in place. He looks at my crying face.
"What's wrong? Talk to me." He says pulling me into his chest. I wrap my arms around his body and sob.

"I shouldn't have come here." I say quietly in between sobs. Luke pulls away from the hug and holds my arms.

"What do you mean?"

"It was a mistake. I'm just becoming the old me who didn't give to shits about anyone else but myself. I'm a horrible mom. Everyone hates me and I should have just stayed in England."

"Don't say that. No one hates you and you DO belong here and you most definitely are not a horrible mom." I shake my head.

"Just let me be Luke. I don't want to wrap you into my problems." I say trying to step around him.

"No. I want to help you. I love you Rose."

"I love you too Luke. Just let me think for a little bit Okay. I'll come back in a few minutes. I promise." I say kissing his lips and walking away. I don't know where I'm walking, as long as it's not here.

Luke's PoV.

After Rose left I was livid. I walked back into my house pissed off.

"You guys are doing this to her! You're the reason she hates herself! You're the reason she wants to leave again!" I yell walking into the living room with everyone else. Luckily the kids are in the other room still.

"What do you mean Luk-"

"Skylar! You guys are making her feel like shit! She thinks she's a horrible person because of you guys! Hell, she even thinks she's a bad mom! She told me she wants to leave because everyone hates her. How could you do that to her. Cole, Harry, I thought you guys were her 'best friends'. Cal, you two are so close yet you still hurt her. And Ashton. You're own sister. You know what happens when she gets like this yet you still keep hurting her!" I yell.

"You can't talk Luke!" Ashton yells.
"You're not perfect! You're the reason she didn't come back after one year like she was supposed to. You're the reason I had to go 4 years with only seeing her less than ten times. Oh and not to mention, you cheated on her, and continued to lie about it! You claim you love her yet you're the main reason this is happening." My eyes widen at his words.

"Ash?" Calum says obviously as shocked as I am. Ashton looks at me with tears in his eyes and he shakes his head.

"I'm sorry Luke. It's not you're fault and I shouldn't be bringing up things from 4 years ago. It was wrong of me and I'm sorry." He says quietly. I nod.

"Thanks Ash. But I'm not." I say walking away. I can't stand them right now. I was about to check on the kids when I heard the front door open. I looked over to see Rose closing the door. She sends me a small smile when she sees me and walks over to me. I give her a hug and kiss.
"Are you Okay?" I ask pulling apart.

"Yeah." I look into her eyes as she responds with the fake smile. She's not okay. I know this is killing her. But I smile and nod anyway.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about something. Cole, Harry and I still need to go to England to move and we will need to find a place here."

"Actually, Cole and Harry need to find a place, you're staying with me," I say with a smile.

"Really?" I nod.
"I kinda feel bad though. Ive always been there to help Cole."

"I talked to him earlier. He's going to move in on this street. It's easy since literally all of our friends live on this street anyway." She laughs making me smile.

"Alright." She agrees. We go in to check on the kids, who are now playing with legos. We ask them if they want to watch a movie and they agree. We all walk into the living room with everyone else, even though I hate them right now, and put on a movie. Wes cuddles up with Cole and I have both Mel and Rose cuddled into my sides. I smile as I look down at the two. My girls.
