Amnesia | Luke Hemmings

The heat of the moment

-Mackenzie POV-

I lay on the beach chair soaking up the rays of the sun. My sunnies on my eyes and my big black floppy beach hat on my head. I lay there my eyes closed. I can hear the boys splashing around in the pool. My legs laid out straight and hands by my hips. I heard the water go silent. There was no splashing around. I took my sunnies off and sat up looking for the boys. I couldn't see them. Where had they gone? The next thing I knew there was laughing behind me and the boys poured a bucket of cold water on me. The cold water soaked my hat. I was so annoyed. I stood up "What was that for?" I said ripping the hat off my head and throwing it on the ground. "It was a joke" Luke said dropping the bucket. "Well it wasn't very funny" I said sobbing. I was going to get the boys back hard. I acted like I was so grumpy. Luke came over to me and wrapped his arms around me giving me a hug. I pushed him away. He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I ran over to the bbq where Ashton stood cooking sausages. I was dripping wet. I stood next to Ashton and said aloud "Your my only friend at the moment because you didn't wet me" I said smiling. Ashton giggled and smiled dimples appearing on his face "I told them it was a bad idea" Luke came over to me and tried to grab my hand I ran around the outside of the pool. Calum cornered me. Luke on one side him on the other. I stood there as they looked at me. I smiled and ran under Calum's arm. I ran over to the door which lead back inside. I ran upstairs. I ran into the bathroom where I had a packet of water balloons in the cupboard. I heard someone coming up the stairs. "Its me Ashton" He said opening the door slowly. He saw the packet of water balloons and smiled. "Ill help" He said making his way over to the sink of the bathroom.

After we had filled them up we put them into a bucket and walked onto the balcony. Michael, Calum and Luke all lay on a beach chair each. Ashton nodded at me a he threw one at Calum who stood up and laughed. I threw two at Luke they both exploded on his chest. I laughed, he looked up at me a made kissy lips. I poked my tongue out. He smiled back at me and I threw another one and it hit him right on the head. Michael must have been asleep during all of this because he didn't move. Calum pointed at Michael, Ashton smiled and grabbed three different balloons. I grabbed two and Ashton counted to three "1,2,3" he said and we both released our balloons and they all hit Michael except one. Michael stood up "What the fuck!" He said looking at us standing up on the balcony. "Thats what you get for ruining my hat" I said down to him. He smiled "Lesson learnt"

Me and Ashton made our way down the stairs back to the pool. I checked my phone, there was 8 new messages. They were all from my Father.

'Where are you?'

'Your car is gone'

'Are you okay?'

'You better not be with Luke'

'I will come get you'

'Reply to me, don't ignore me!!!'

'I don't want to lose you Mackenzie'

'Please just listen to what I have to say. You belong with your father who will be with you forever. Not a boyfriend who can leave you any day xox'

The last message really hit me. Do i really belong with my Father? Will Luke leave me. Ashton looks at me "You okay?" I shake my head "My Dad is worried about me. I think I should go home" I said running up the stairs to my bedroom to get all my clothes. I start packing my stuff up and Luke walks in. "Where are you going?" He said walking over to me stopping me packing my bags. "I need to be with my Dad" Luke shock his head "No you don't stay with us" I shock my head grabbing my flip flops and slipping them on my feet. I grab my keys off the bed side table. "Please Mackenzie" Luke said grabbing my hand as I try to grab the handle of my bag. "Im sorry" I said grabbing the bag and pulling it away from him. I rush out the door. Does my Dad really need me? Or has he finally sucked me into his trap. Luke rans down the steps after me. "He is tricking you" He says running in front of the door. I shake my head "No he's not. He needs me in his life right now" Luke puts up a fight. "No you are not getting away again!" He said grabbing my bag. "Luke please" I say a tear rolling down my face. "No you listen to me" He said tears appearing in his eyes "I nearly lost you in the hospital I am not losing you again. And if you go back to your Dad now he wont let you come back and you known it" He said leaning against the door. "I love you Luke, you know it too but my Dad needs me" I say trying to push past him. He stops me. "If you walk away now theres no coming back. He wont let you" He said dropping my bag and grabbing my hands "Please" He said looking me in the eyes tears streaming down his face. "Im sorry" I say picking up my bag and pushing past him. I ran over to my car Luke running after me. I open my car door and get in locking it so Luke cant get in. I throw my bag onto the passengers seat.I start the engine and Luke backs away from the drivers door.All the boys stood by the door watching. They all looked shocked and serious.Luke runs over to the gate. He stood in front of it refusing to move. I smile at him, please I mouth. He still doesn't move. I stop the engine and Luke moves. He runs up to the broken passenger window. "Don't do this to me" He said holding onto the rim of the window. He cut himself on a bit if remaining glass. His hand trickling blood. He looks at his hand. I open my car door and run and open the gate. I ran back to the car and Luke moves away holding his hand. He pulls his hair, his hand moving through it. His hair has now got blood on it. I look at Luke who is in a mess. Calum runs over to him and holds him back. Luke shakes out of his grip.I take a deep breath and drive through the gate not looking back. Luke stood at the top of the drive way watching me drive off.This is it. Theres no turning back. No more games.
