one night stand // Luke Hemmings

thirteen

I woke up to an empty house. My dad left a note on the fridge explaining how he got a last minute job and he would be away for another two weeks.

I'm sat on the couch staring at the tv not even paying attention. I just sit replying everything, ever. From when i was little and my mum used to take me to the ice cream shop every Thursday, how she used to always tuck me in at night, do my hair, dress me so I looked presentable. I use to put on stupid dance shows in the family room. Sometimes Luke would even join in. But then everything went wrong. I was no longer putting on silly shows with my best and only friend Luke. I was now struggling to do my hair and dress myself.

I start crying violently. I'm slowly braking apart. Fading away. I've lost everything. Amelia, my mum, my slim relationship with my dad. I'm just so done. No one understands me anymore. I used to be able to cry into Luke's small t-shirt whilst he would stroke my hair, telling me everything would be ok. No one understands. Calum and Michael are to protective, Amelia and ashton are to far down each others throat to even give a shit about anyone else now. Luke.. I don't know what's happening with Luke, one minute he's so rude and careless about my existence and the next were kissing and cuddling. I don't understand. Is he using me?

I can't stop crying, I just curl into a ball on the sofa and let it all out, feeling sorry for myself. I want to call someone, but there's no one to call. I'm sure Calum's had enough of me by know and I can't tell Michael or he will say something to Luke.

I eventually cry myself to sleep. I am awoken by my phone getting a text.

Amelia:
Hey want to go shopping? I'm staying with ashton tonight and I need something sexy to wear ;) hehe. x

Me:
Why don't you ask Sophie? I'm sure she needs something to get into Calum's pants.

Amelia:
Wow? I only asked, what's rocked your boat?

Me:
What's rocked my boat? Hm.. Let me see. Oh yeah, maybe the fact my 'best friend' ditched me for Sophie when you knew I needed you.

Amelia:
When you say that you needed me , do you by any chance mean you need someone to tell you that your not a slut, that you deserve better than Luke. Well guess what Mia Just because mummy isn't there to make everything better, don't expect me to.

Me:
How dare you bring my mother into this. I can't believe you Amelia! Don't ever speak to me again you absolute bitch.

That was the last I heard from her. I am fuming. How dare she talk about my mother. I'm so pissed. I need to talk to someone. I storm out the house and I soon find myself walking in direction of Luke's house. I don't know why but I am. I storm up to his door and knock a bit louder than necessary. Unfortunately Liz opens the door.

"Mia?" She says in disbelief.

"Uh, yeah. Hi, I was wondering if Luke is home"

She pulls me in for a hug.

"I haven't seen you in years, you've gotten to much older looking, beautiful. I'm so glad to see you, how's things with your father?"

"Uh good thanks. I don't mean to ve rude or anything but I really need to speak to Luke, do you know where he is?"

"Oh sorry sweetie, he left to go to Michael's about an hour ago."

"Thank you, it was lovely seeing you again" but it actually wasn't. I reminded me of my mum.

I turn to walk to Michaels when she stops me.

"Mia, darling, you must come for dinner one evening" she says.

"Of course. I will be round here again no doubt so we can arrange something then" I smile and walk away.

I get to Michaels house and I can hear everyone inside. This is so stupid I don't know why I'm even going in here. But i really need to see Luke. I walk in without knocking and everyone goes quiet and stares at me. Amelia's sat in Ashton's lap next to Calum and Sophie.
Everyone's just looking at me, silently- as if they were talking about me seconds before I came in.
