Remember me - hemmings [3]

Chapter 10:

Authors note----> I'm updating again cos I'm that cool.

Emilee POV:

I woke up to the sun pouring through the window I turned over hoping to see Luke, but I had forgotten I wasn't with Luke...we didn't say it was officially over but I can't take him back...not after what he had done...not after he hit me.

That's what hurt the most the fact that I thought he loved me...he obviously didnt... you don't hurt the ones you love. I notice Grace is still asleep I kiss her cheek gently and get up. I pull on black leggings a grey nada top and then a red flannel, I slip on all black converse and then head out the room.

I walked into the lounge to find Michael eating pizza and scrolling through his phone wearing black skinnies a white tee with "loser" written along the front.

"Hey" I say simply. I was down and not myself I needed Luke right now more than anything and it sucks that he's not here with me.

"Emilee hey" Michael says smiling and patting the spot next to him. I sit down and steal a bit of early morning pizza. Its 5:45am...I thought it was like 9 but oh well. I'm stressed right now. I begin to cry again.

Then suddenly the door goes. What? Really? At 5:45am?! Michael gets up from the couch and opens the door.
I decide to listen in.

"Get out of here she doesn't want to see you!" Michael snarls.

"Please Michael let me see her!" Shouts Luke. Oh god. He tries to get past Michael but he fails.

"I said leave Luke!" Michael screams this time and Grace walks in she runs into Luke's arms. It took everything in me not to do the same.

"Emilee please?!" Luke pleads I wally I the door and stand behind Michael.

"Leave Luke..." I mumble I try to hold back the tears as I say it. At the back of my mind I dorm want him to leave I want to run into his arms and feel our lisp touch. But I can't not after what he'd done.

"No Emilee please come home I need you please I'm begging you I'm so so sorry baby I really am" he pleads crying his eyes out.

"You don't hurt the ones you love Luke...so you obviously don't love me like I thought you did" I say through tiny sniffles.

"Emilee I love you so much Emilee I'm sorry please Emilee I love you please!!" He practically shouts sending chills down my spine.

"NO LUKE NOT AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE DONE NOW PLEASE DONT MAKE THIS ANY HARDER JUST LEAVE!" I shout back. Tears running down my face making me blinded in my eyes by the water. I hear him cry and sniffle and it was hard cos I just wanted to wipe his tears away and kiss him better. I hear him sniffle again.

"You heard her, leave" Michael says. And with that Luke and Grace proceed to the car. There he goes again. Gone.

Once Michael closes the door I fall to the ground and cry my eyes out. Michael runs towards me and pulls me into his lap.

"Sh sh it's going to be ok sh" he soothes rubbing my back I breathe in his scent and hold him tightly.

"It's ok babe I'm here" he said against my neck sending chills once more.
This reminded me of Luke. Great. We just sat there for what seemed like hours. Me crying my eyes out, and Michael soothing my emotions. But Mike was right...Luke hit me and that was wrong.
I don't even know if I will get over it. But in my eyes me and Luke...

Are done.

----2 hours later----
Michaels POV:

It was 7:45am and me and Emilee were in the lounge. She was still crying so being the good friend I am I bought her ice cream and tissues.

She didn't deserve it, she deserved the world, the planet, the universe. He had no right to hit her. No right at all. She's to perfect...wait did I just say that? I was meant to be over her...i was meant to forget her...but I can't she's just I don't even know. But I can't forget her. oh no...I'm still inlove with Emilee.

Well I guess Luke's gone...i don't know. shit life sucks at times.

Emilee POV:

I decided I needed some air so I got up from the couch wiped my tears and headed out into the back yard without a word. I walk outside and breathe in the cool air.

"This sucks man" I sniffle. I see a tree house at the end of the garden, must of been built for Michael when he was younger. I decide its out of the way so I proceed to explore it.

I climb up into the tree house and sit myself in the corner by the little window. I stared up at the stars. It was still quite early so if was still dark a little wrought for you to see the stars.

"God Luke" I say and hold my head remembering I have a tumour and that I could possibly die.
"Dying sucks" I whisper. I wished Luke was here, say next to me and caring for me and hugging, kissing, holding and singing to me. But he's not and tags the sad part of it.

"Emilee?" I hear Michael say as he steps up into the tree house.

"Hi Mikey" I say with out expression. We sit on a big of an awkward silence before he eventually sits closer to me.
He rests his head on my shoulder and draws circles on my knees.

"Michael...im dying" I whisper he instantly sits up and stares at me blankly.

"W-what?" He asks tears beginning to form in his eyes.

"I'm dying that's how all this happened" I say trying to hold back the on coming tears. Tears now begin streaming down Michaels face. I wipe them away with my thumb and hold him tightly.

"Sh don't worry" I say to Michael as he continues to cry.

"Of course I'm worried about you Emilee you mean everything to me your.." he stops.

"I'm what Mike?" I ask him.

"To perfect to die" he whispers looking down and frowning. I begin to cry, only Luke said things like that to me. But Luke broke me into a million pieces he then kicked the pieces everywhere.

Michael takes me into his arms and holds me tighter than he ever had before. Like he never wanted to let go. I tugged on his red strands of hair and played with them.

"Emilee I love you" Michael suddenly says. I stay quiet for a second not knowing what to say. I look him in the eyes and press my forehead against his. I'm straddling him right now and he's got his arms round my waist and I've got my arms round his neck. small spark fly...

Wait what?! Did I just say that? No I don't love Michael I don't he's just there for me I swear we're just best friends nothing else. I DONT I SWEAR.

"If you let me here's what I'll do..." Michael begins.

"I'll take care of you" he says looking me in the eye. I feel myself instantly smiling I don't knew how but Michael always seemed to make things better when I was sad.

I kiss his forehead gently.
"Ok" I whisper against his soft skin. I pull away from his head and just stare at his eyes, god they were beautiful.

Wait no no I didn't say that no I didn't no I don't love Michael. But maybe I do. NO I DONT.maybe.NO.

"I'm going to take care of you Emilee..." Michael says smiling and pulling me closer to him.

"I know you will Mikey"
And then it happened...
