Remember Me

Chapter 4

*Wednesday Morning*

Luke's POV///

I got out of the car and waved to the boys. "See you guys Friday." I yelled and got my suitcase and walked up to my house. I knocked on the door and my mom opened it and hugged me. "Oh luke I missed you." She said. "I missed you too mom. Calm down." I said with a laugh and she smiled and let me in. "Are you hungry? I've made all your favorite foods." She said and I sighed. "Sure mom." I said.

It feels good to be home...

*Later*

I lay on my bed in my room just being glad to be home. I got today and tomorrow off then Friday I got a meet and greet and sound check and the concert.. Then I can just chill. I sighed and rolled over in my bed and felt something under the pillow and grabbed it and pulled out one of Lucy's sketch pads.. I sat up on the bed and opened it to see sketches of flowers and cool 3D drawings and sketches of my old friend Jackson.. Had she been hanging out with him since I've been gone.. I got off the bed and went to find my mom.

"Hey mom whys Lucy's sketch book in my room?" I asked and my mom looked up from the laptop. "Oh.. I guess there's no hiding it.." She muttered. "Hiding what?" I asked. "Lucy stayed here about a month or so ago.. I don't know what happened but she seemed pretty shooken up and didn't look like herself.. She just said she needed a place to stay for the night until she figured things out and asked me not to tell you." My mom said.. "I hope she's ok.." I muttered. "Maybe you should go by her house and return that sketch pad.. She's probably missing it." My mom said and I nodded.. "Ok I'll go now." I said and she nodded..

I got in my car and drove to Lucy's house and pulled up to see it all boarded up.. The windows and door and a big "For Rent" sign in the yard.. "What the fuck.." I muttered and grabbed my phone and dialed Lucy's number. "The number you have dialed has been disconnected." The operator said.

Where's Lucy?

*Later*

"I called all my friends mom. No ones seen her." I said and sat in the living room. "Are you sure you dialed the number right?" She asked and I nodded. "No ones seen her at the collage for months. Everyone says it's like she disappeared." I said. "Let's calm down luke.. Maybe she moved." My mom said. "Her phone though." I said. "A new phone number." My mom said. "She could have but why not go to collage." I asked. "Maybe she's needed a fresh start and a break. She's had a rough few years and maybe with you going she needed time to focus on her.." My mom said and I shook my head.. I didn't wanna think of this as my fault.. Even though it probably is..

Lucy's parents died a couple years ago.. And when they left Lucy lost her whole family basically. She had no cousins or anyone else in her family. After they left she had a rough time with drugs and drinking and had a tough time.. She's okay now.. I mean I hope..

"Look. She's gonna be at your concert Friday. She wouldn't miss it. You'll see her and be able to talk to her then." Mom said. "You're right.. I'll see her then." I sighed. "Yes you will. Now go get some rest and sleep in tomorrow honey." My mom said and I nodded and went back to my bedroom to sleep..

I hope she's okay...

*The next day*

Lucy's POV//

I stood in the bookstore at noon and opened the box to see fresh hardback covers of my book.. "Woah.." I said and Kathy smiled. "Cool right?" She said and I nodded. "Now let's shelf these." She said and I helped shelf the books in the different spots in the store and stuff and we finished and Kathy sighed. "So? How's it feel to be a published author?" She asked. "Amazing.. I can't describe it.." I said and and laughed. "I'm glad." She said with a smile. I looked at my phone to see it was 6:43 pm.. The sun was set and it was dark. "I better get going.. I'll see you soon?" I asked Kathy and she nodded.

I left the bookstore and walked out to my car and opened the door and set my bag in the back seat when I was grabbed from behind. I gasped as I was spun around and my back was slammed against the car. "You've been hiding out on me huh?" Yelled Jackson. "Let me go!!" I gasped pulling away. "I got taken to jail because apparently someone stopped paying rent for the house!" He yelled. "Stop it!" I gasped trying to get away. "Shut up!" He yelled and punched me and I gasped.. Pain flooding through my lip. "You're my girlfriend. Alright?" You do as I say." He said and slapped me and I gasped again. My cheek stinging and burning. "Okay.. Just let me go." I cried. "No. You're coming with me." He said.. "No I'm not.." I muttered and reached down to my pocket and pulled out the pocket knife and opened it and stabbed it into Jackson's shoulder and he gasped and I pushed him back away from me and got into the car quickly and fumbled to get the keys in the car while he banged on the window screaming and cursing at me and finally the car started and I pulled away from the bookstore and started driving away...

I can't believe he found me again...

*Friday*

Luke's POV///

I got up at 7 and my mom made me breakfast and then I drove with her to the meet and greet. She insisted upon coming with me for the whole day. I didn't mind.. I kinda wanted her to see what I did non-stop.

We got to the arena and body guards lead us inside and I got to the boys and we got ready for the meet and greet. The first person came in who was a girl probably 12-14 and we did the usual poses and stuff and then the next 90 minutes was for us meeting fans.. It was cool to meet them all. Then we went to lunch and then went to sound check and ran through all the songs we were gonna preform.. Then it was only 3 hours till show.. Then we went to the dressing rooms to change and get a snack and just chill out for awhile.. "You boys always do this?" My mom asked and I nodded. "It's crazy." I said. "It's cool. You know this but you gotta be nice to your fans no matter what." She lectured and I rolled my eyes. "DUH mom I know." I said and she hugged me. "I love you luke. I'm proud of you son." She said with a smile and I smiled back. "I love you too mom... Now c'mon lets go to the backstage area." I said..

Lucy's POV///

I looked in the mirror and sighed.. I was in a Walmart bathroom near the arena and dressed in black jeans and a grey tshirt and a dark blue jean jacket and combat boots. Even though I had makeup on you could still see the side of my bruised face from Jackson's slap and the bruised bump on my cheek where he punched me. I brushed my hair down and put on the backstage pass lanyard and got my purse and walked out.. The concert should be starting now...

I walked across the busy street to the arena and went in the back like luke had told me to do 5 months ago.. I don't know why I'm going. I should have given the girl the backstage passes and not just the tickets.. I just need to see him. Not talk to him or anything but just see him from a distance to see that he's happy.. Then I can leave and forget this all.

I walked in and showed the guard my pass and he let me through after seeing Luke's signature on it.. I was told to basically stay away from any stage stuff since the concert was going on.. Even backstage the music was booming on the walls.. I sat on a bench that was under a set of stairs that went to a upstairs cafe thing and was across from the dressing rooms.. I shouldn't be here..

Luke's POV///

Lucy wasn't there. I looked in the audience and she wasn't there. She was supposed to be in the front row right there in front of me and she wasn't.. My mom caught on right away when she gave me a sad look as a teenage girl took the seat that was for Lucy.. She really is gone..

Throughout the whole concert all I could do was think of her.. Is she okay?

*Lucys POV*

I was getting up to leave just as the concert was finishing. I realized I couldn't do this.. But just as I started to walk down the hall luke and the boys ran off stage laughing and talking to eachother and I spun around quickly and started to go up the stairs to the cafe..

"Hey Lucy wasn't here.." Michael said. "Yeah. I guess she couldn't make it.." Muttered luke and I could hear the hurt in his voice as I walked up the stairs. The boys changed the subject not to hurt luke and they all banged into their dressing rooms.. I looked over my shoulder as I went up the second flight of stairs to see like looking at the stairs. At me. And with that I broke into a run up the stairs. I heard footsteps behind me and luke curse and I ran up the stairs to the cafe and down the hall of it and out a door to see a huge balcony.. This is it.. This is where I see luke...
