Back in the past (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 15

Laura's P.O.V.

I tell him where i think i am and sit on the ground. After half an hour, Luke pulled up and i jumped in. I looked over at him and my eye's widened, why the hell has he got a black eye?

"Whats up with your eye?" I asked.

"Lets just say, Michael wasnt happy with me "disturbing" them" he chuckled.

"Remind me, never to get you to say hi to Abby for me again" i chuckled.

"Probably best" he chuckled with me and started to drive.

"Luke?" i called, after a bit of silence.

"Yeah" he raised a brow.

"Could i-erm, stay at your place?" i asked.

"Why?"

"Cause erm, something happened and i dont want to be alone" i said playing with my hands.

"Sure" he said, then i thought of something, maybe i could be friends with Luke? I dont have to forgive him, but i could atleast make things easier for me.

"Listen" i said, turning in my seat, to face him, "How about...we become friends?"  i asked, biting my lip.

"You really want to be friends again?" he asked, in disbelief,  but happy.

"Yeah, i mean sure" i nodded.

"Okay" he nodded.

"This doesnt mean i forgive you, you have to work on that part yourself" i told him.

"I promise, i'll make it up to you" he said seriously. I stayed quiet,  not wanting to. The ride was silent and we arrived at their house. It was dark and cold, i shivered.

"I'll get you a blanket, when we get inside" he said, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Okay" i sighed. He unlocked the door and we walked in, in the kitchen, stood Michael drinking a glass of water. He was wearing only sweats and glared at Luke, i chuckled.

"Hey Michael" i waved.

"I dont mean to be rude, but what are you doing here at one in the morning?" Michael asked.

"Its a long story" i said frowning, not wanting to talk about it.

"Come on, Laura" Luke said and we walked into the living room, "Wait here"  he instructed, i did as told and sat on the couch, thinking about what had just happened in the last few hours. Me and Jordan going out, us eating dinner and having a nice time, Jordan proposing, me rejecting, him storming out the restaurant, me being stranded, Luke coming to get me, me making friends with Luke and here i am. Luke came back with a blanket and handed it to me.

"Thanks Luke" i smiled, wiping a few stray tears away.

""Are you okay?" he asked, thats when i broke, i completely broke down. Falling into Luke's arms and crying into his chest, it felt so nice to hug him again, it feels exactly the same as it did years ago. He sat us down on the couch and stroked my hair, trying to calm me down, "Please Laura, tell me whats wrong" he mumbled into my hair.

"Jordan pro-proposed" i choked out.

"And your not happy because...?" he said in confusion.

"I-i r-rejected h-him"  i looked up at him to see his reaction and i saw a small smile on his lips.

"Why'd you reject him?" he asked.

"C-cause i w-wasnt r-ready to get married" i sobbed.

"And thats why he deserted you" Luke said and i nodded, "He's a jerk" he said, angered.

"But we're still together" i told him.

"Are you kidding me? After he deserted you?" he asked in disbelief, "Laura, i know you better than that and i know for a fact that you wouldnt still be with him, after he deserts you" he told me, "Well, the Laura i know, wouldnt" he added.

"The Laura you know, isnt here anymore, she disappeared a long time ago" i told him, he frowned and looked...upset? Disappointed?

I woke up with arms wrapped around me, thinking it was Jordan, i snuggled further into him. After a few minutes, Jordan starts to stirr and wakes up.

"Laura?" Luke said wait, what?! I thought he was Jordan! Then i remembered what had happened the previous day. I quickly sit up and scoot away from Luke, "Did we fall asleep?"

"I guess" i sighed, leaning back on the couch, my stomach rumbled, "Im hungry"

"Come on, i'll make you something" he said and we headed to the kitchen. I sat down on a stool and Luke got some cereal. He poured milk into two bowls and then pours the cereal in, "Here you go"

"Gee thanks, cereal" i said sarcastically but took it anyway cause, i was STARVING!

FLASHBACK

Me and Luke headed downstairs, and into the kitchen, i sat down on a stool and he got cereal for both of us. He then grabbed me by the waist, lifting me up and sitting down on my stool, placing  me on his lap.

"I had fun last night" he hummed into my neck.

"So did i" i smiled, he wrapped his arms around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder, "We've got to get to school" i mumbled.

"I dont wanna go" he whined but i jumped off his lap and headed to his room, getting changed into my clothes.

When we arrived at school, everyone was glaring at me. What? I looked at a girl that was glaring at me.

"Slut" she said, as we carried on walking, the insults got worse.

"Slag, i hate you"

"You dont belong here" all different insults and they only got worse. After two classes, i ran out of school and ran anywhere but there. What did i do? I found a park and sat on the grass, under a tree, crying my eyes out. The only thing that played in my mind was...what had i done?

FLASHBACK END.

I frowned and looked down at my cereal, how could i be so stupid? And to think that im sat infront of the very person who caused it. I put the spoon back in the bowl and put my head in my hands, trying to calm myself down.

"You okay?" Luke asked, i didnt even look up, i just nodded. When i had managed to calm myself down, i finished the cereal just as the boys and Abby were coming down.

"Hey Laura" Abby beamed, i smiled, "Thank god your here, i thought i'd have to sit here with these idiots by myself" she chuckled.

"Aw, but you love me" Michael said, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.

"Of course, i do" she chuckled, he kissed her cheek. I stayed with Abby and the boys all morning, they managed to keep my mind off of Jordan. I went home around 3pm or something like that. Luke also called Steve, from where i work, to give me a day off. And to be honest, i need it. I was led on my bed, just looking at the ceiling, what am i going to do now? I miss Jordan already. I shut my eyes and went to sleep.
