Fake Love - Luke Hemmings

Chapter 20

Tiffs POV –

 

The paper on the page becomes soggy as soon as I finish reading the words. Above the article there was picture of Luke and the she devil, in the top corner a photo of the ring. He’s getting married. Luke……..will no longer be in my life. My eyes lock with the smile on his face in the photo. It isn’t genuine, I know when he is faking and trust me, that smile couldn’t be any faker

But why am I bothered? He’s not mine anymore. He’s going to grow up and have a happy, or bearable, marriage. All while I am stuck in this apartment, lonely and isolated. Maybe with a cat or two. I had my whole future planned out back in London. Everything seemed clear and perfect. Like it was meant to be. I guess he will have the same, just with a different girl in my place

The days here just seemed to get worse and worse. I hadn’t spoken to Brad since the night he tried to kiss me. Even though he had left about a thousand messages and a few hundred texts, I couldn’t face him yet. I knew the exact reason as well

Every night, I just lie there in bed, waiting for Luke to climb in next to be and snuggle me into his chest. EVERY NIGHT! That night when Brad tried to kiss me, I just wanted Luke more, but there was something in the back of my mind that wanted Brad. No matter how much I ignored it, it remained and got slightly stronger with every night that passed. Although Luke was the one that occupied my thoughts. The ringing of my phone tore me from my mind and I rushed to answer it, making sure it wasn’t Brad. As soon as I was sure it wasn’t. As I was about to click answer, I saw the number was unrecognised. Warily, I pressed the green button and brought the phone to my ear

“Hello” My voice was small as I waited for the voice on the other side to come through the phone

“Oh my God, I found you!” The all too familiar voice of Phoebe came through the line and I relaxed all muscles that were tensed. A small smile crept on my face but soon left when I realised what was going on

“Phoebe………” I trail out her name and wait until she answers

“Its ok, im here. And so is Ash and Calum” She breaths and I smile slightly again when I hear the boys are there

“Tiffany oh thank god we found your number” Ash’s voice shouts through the speaker and i jolt at how loud he is. I could tell it was on speaker so decided to ask a question I had been longing to know

“Why didn’t you guys ever call, until now?” The tears that were in my eyes a few minutes ago return and I look to the floor, waiting for an answer. The other side goes dead and a tear slips down

“Well, tell me” I say, my voice cracking slightly

“We would have, but they stopped us, management. Ella deleted your contact for my phone. We spent days trying to find your number again. I guess today is the day we found it” Phoebe chuckles and I just stare at the floor, trying to take in what she had just explained

“Believe me Tiff, we tried everything to find you again. All of us. Luke mostly. He stayed up for hours on end, sometimes over two days trying to find any information on where you were. You need to come back right away, before it’s too late” Calums voice begs me and my heart flutters. He really did that for me? But it doesn’t matter now

“Look, I really appreciate everything you guys have done, but it doesn’t matter anymore. It’s already too late. Luke’s already engaged and there’s nothing I can do about it. He-he’s happy” I burst out into silent tears and slide down the nearest wall, crouching at the bottom. My mind was racing, telling myself not to cry

“You think Lukes happy?” Phoebe pauses before continuing “ Hes anything but happy. Tiffany you don’t understand how much he needs you here” She stresses and I wipe my eyes from the salty tears

“ Look, I really didn’t want this to happen, but if I come back, the bands music career is at stake. I couldn’t bare to be the person who took that away from you boys. Im sorry” I say and hang up the phone, throwing it across the room. Luckily it lands in the rug but I still hear a crack which is most likely the screen. My head halls into my hands and I curl me knees up to my chest, sobbing quietly into them

What the hell am I doing with my life

Luke’s POV-

I sit waiting in the corner of the shop, staring at the photos of me and Tiffany. Ella and I were supposed to be looking at invitations but I couldn’t really give a shit about what they looked like considering there wasn’t going to be a wedding in the first place. Not unless it was Tiffany walking up to that altar on her fathers arm

“Hey Lukey poo, what about these ones?” Ella’s high pitched voice catches my attention and I lift my head to see her holding up a white card with fancy decorations around the edges. I shrug and look back down at my phone. I hear Ella huff and her heels clicking across the floor, before the phone is ripped from her and places in her oversized handbag

“What the fuck do you think you are doing?” I half shout, earning a few stares from other customers

“Hes just playing around” Ella assures them and they continue with their shopping

“You were getting too distracted by it and this is a big decision to make. It is OUR wedding, which means we have to pick out what goes in it TOGETHER” She smiles and I scoff, walking out of the shop

“Luke, where are you going?” Ella pathetically runs after me and yanks me back

“Home” I spit and look down at her hand. I’ve had enough with this wedding shit. In one swift movement I slip the ring of her finger and slide it into my back pocket, also grabbing her bag and digging my phone out. The look on her face was priceless but I smirk and get into the car driving off. Looks like that bitch is walking home

Just as I hit traffic lights, my phone rings. Ashton’s face comes up on the screen and I press the answer button

“Hey man, what’s up?” I ask looking around the roads

“We have Tiffany’s number” He says quickly and I almost choke on the air

“Are you serious” My eyes widen as I wait for him to answer the question

“Yes, and we traced her number back to an apartment. Don’t ask. But we are looking at flights now” Ash rushes and I hear Phoebe and the boys talking in the background. My heart was racing faster than I ever thought possible

“Yes now get your butt home and get packing. You have to go see your girlfriend” I smiled and hung up. Finally, I would get to see her. But this time, no one was going to stop me from going. Or getting her back
