"lucas robert hemmings, get your ass out of bed! you have work!" his mother screamed from downstairs. luke groaned. he dragged himself out of bed, dreading the day ahead.

luke worked at the local guitar shop in downtown los angeles. he loved working there, because of all the hot guys that walk through the door, but he hated getting out of bed.

he walked slow to his bathroom, stubbing his toe on his desk on his way there. he bite his lip to prevent himself from screaming. once he calmed down, he went back to trying to get ready.

he walked into the bathroom and was immediately met a reflection of his morning self. he looked at himself in disgust. he closed the door and started getting undressed. when he realized he forget his phone, he was already fully undressed.

"shit." he put a towel around his waist to make sure nobody saw his junk. he opened the door and ran out into his bedroom. he looked around until he spotted his phone lying on the ground connected to the charger. he unplugged it and ran back into the bathroom. he sighed in relief.

he turned on the water and checked his phone while waiting for the water to heat up.

the first one was his best friend, calum. they were both kicked out of school in grade 5 when they both dunked each other into a toilet back in australia. their parents moved them both into america but in diffrent parts. calum lives in new york while luke lives in los angeles. they lost touch until grade 9 when they found each other through tumblr. they've been best friends ever since.

emily is luke's cousin that lives in australia. they were really close in grade 1, going over to each other houses everyday for 2 years and getting into trouble together. that all changed when emily moved all the way across the country and they lost touch. when luke read that text, he got really excited.

the last one was from his other best friend, mary. he calls her bear because her ex-boyfriend used to call her mar-bear and he liked the 'bear' so that was her new nickname. they've been best friends since luke moved into america and he didn't know anybody. they did have something going on for a few weeks, but then realized that they would be better off as friends.

(to: emily)

(to: bear)

he connected his phone to his speaker that he used when he showered and turned on his shower playlist which consisted of nirvana, my chemical romance, green day, and the 1975. he unwrapped the towel from around his waist and set it on the counter.

he climbed into the steamy shower, the steam suffocating him. he quickly got out and cracked opened his door a bit to let the steam out. the steam let go of his body. he got back into the shower. he quickly washed his hair and body.

"i need to go to the gym," luke said to himself. he got his toothbrush that he kept in the shower to brush his teeth and put toothpaste on it. he brushed his teeth to the beat of girls by the 1975. (a/n: i can't be the only one who does this, right?)
