Back in the past (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 19

Laura's P.O.V.

After taking a sip of my beer, I felt two hands on my waist from behind.

"Baby, wanna dance?" Jordan said into my ear.

"Alright" I smiled, we began dancing, then ended up in a heated make out session and sat back down again.

"I've gotta go to the bathroom,  I'll be right back"  he said, drunk off his ass.

Jordan never came back so I went over to the guys, they were hammered except from...well I dont think any of them were sober apart from me and I plan on keeping it that way. The rest of the night we had so much fun. We danced, joked about, had a cake from their parents, and my mum even turned up! I was so happy and the whole Abby mystery escaped my mind.

I was now pushing all the guys into the car, all of them absolutely hammered. After I managed to get them in, I got into the drivers seat.

Thankfully, we arrived without crashing, Michael and Ashton were messing around while I was trying to drive. I now had two heavy guys, leaning on me for support as I walked them up to the door.

"Where did you take Abby?" Michael slurred, on my right.

"I think she's inside" I said, he narrowed his eyes at me.

"I know you took her, just tell me" he said, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Note to self: Michael is annoying when drunk.

"Michael, I didnt take or kidnap or steal your girlfriend" I told him, but he wasn't even listening. We all got into the house, I throw Michael onto the couch and Ashton, well, I wasnt a hundred percent sure where he went. I went into the kicthen and got myself a glass of water, leaning on the counter until my phone buzzed. It was a message from Crystal, what could she possibly want? I looked at the time, it was 1am. The message was a picture, I opened it up and my  phone fell out of my hands, crashing to the floor, my following shortly after. I broke down into tears, not believing my eyes.

Luke's P.O.V.

I walked into the house, not as drunk has Laura thought I was, I was just a little tipsy. I saw Michael laying on the couch, talking to Calum in their slurring language. Then I heard a thud come from the kicthen, I rush into the kicthen to see Laura crying her eyes out while her phone lay there, a crack on the screen.

I instantly took her into my arms on the floor and gently stroked her hair. When she had calmed down, I picked her phone up and saw a picture of Jordan naked, with a naked Crystal, taking the picture. Underneath it read:

'Looks like Jordan decided to bunk at my place, hope you dont mind' I could imagine her laughing evilly.

"He cheated Luke" Laura sobbed, fisting my shirt, bringing me close.

"C'mon" I said, helping her to her feet and placing her phone on the counter, locking it. I took Laura up to my room and we got under the covers. She rested her head on my chest.

"I cant believe it Luke" she sobbed.

"Shh, dont cry" I coo'ed, pulling her closer to me, squeezing her tight, "I hate to see you cry"

"Why do you do this to me?" she asked, looking straight into my eyes.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"Why do you act so caring when im trying to be mad?" she chuckled, "Why do you even pretend to care about me?"

"Laura..." I trailed off, "Ive always cared" I told her.

"Thats not true" she argued.

"How would you know when youve never let me explain?" I shot back, she kept quiet. Should I tell her now? Is this the moment? My chance?

"Then tell me" she said, my face lit up.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, Abby hasnt stopped going on about it" she mumbled.

FLASHBACK

Me and Laura walked into school hand in hand, I had the biggest smile imaginable on my face, Laura was finally mine. Everyone turned to look at us but not in a good way, in a bad way. I heard insults being thrown at Laura left, right and center. I had absolutely no idea what was going on, we just kept walking until we had to split cause we had different classes.

I headed to my class and sat at the back, alone. I was hoping no one would sit in the seat next to me but, unfortunately, they didnt get the message and sat in the seat next to me. I looked at the person next to me, to see Crystal, with her signature smirk on her face.

"Hey baby" she smiled.

"What do you want?" I asked, she smirked again.

"Well, I didnt appreciate my boyfriend cheating on me with that slut, Laura" she said, innocently.

"Boyfriend?" I said, confused, "I aint your boyfriend and Laura is your best friend" I said.

"Not anymore" she mumbled.

"Did you have something to do with people throwing insults at Laura?" I asked, putting it all together.

"Of course I did" she said, no shame or guilt showing whatsoever, "All I needed to do was tell everyone we were dating and, after you told your friend Calum you had slept with Laura, thats all I needed" she explained.

"How did you get Calum to tell you? He doesn't even go to this school" I told her.

"I have my sources" she said and throughout the whole lesson, she never said another word.

FLASHBACK END

"But I still dont get why she did it in the first place...." I said to myself.

"It all fits together now" she said, realisation hitting her, "Luke, im so sorry" she said, wrapping her arms around my neck and hugging me tight.
