Bandgirls // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 9 - Part 1

Bradley's POV

Luke
Hi

Bradley?

Are you seriously ignoring me

Bradley

Please I just wanna talk

Brads?

What does this boy want? I thought he made it quite clear that he didn't want to talk to me.

Me- What

Luke- Uh I wanted to chat

Me- About what

Luke- You know that night

Me- Why

Luke- I really wanna be friends with you Brads

Me- Well you made it quite clear that you didn't then

Luke- I'm sorry Brads

Me- Whatever

Before I knew it I was calling Michael. Between those 4 days we spent with the boys Michael and I became really close. Michael was my best friend behind Carter, even though i've only known him for about 3 weeks now.

"Miss Stevens haven't heard from you in awhile."Michael's booming voice said through the speaker.

"Hey Mikey" I said smiling

"How are you"

"Uh good i guess" I said hesitating. Michael doesn't know what happened with Luke except that we kissed and that was it.

"Tell me what's wrong Stevens"

"It's nothing really, I promise I'm fine"

"Okay, but I'm here Stevens"

"Thanks Mikey".

Well that went well, I thought calling Mikey would lift my spirits, but yet again it didn't help. Considering I needed something to lift my spirits, and well I couldn't really listen to my favorite band without hearing him. So I decided to look through my old traveling scrapbooks. So the back story behind these scrapbooks is every summer since I was about seven we would take a trip around the world. When I turned ten Carter started coming with us. I really enjoyed traveling so I loved these trips, and I always remembered to keep scrapbooks. As I was looking through the scrapbook of Australia I saw one of Carters random pictures, it looked familiar I just couldn't figure out why. I called Carter considering she took this photo, and within minutes she was standing in my bedroom doorway, but to be fair she did live next door.

"You rang" Carter said while taking a seat next to me.

"Yea, you remember this trip?"

"Of course, why?"

"This picture, why does it look familiar?"

"Let me see". After examining the photo for 5 minutes her eyes lit up. She scrolled through her phone and handed me it.

"What's this" I asked looking at the fetus Luke Hemmings photo.

"Bradley it's the same person" she said like I was an idiot.

"No, that's not Luke"

"Don't you remember, it all adds up"

"No, it can't be I had a crush on that kid, and I most certainly don't have a crush on Luke Hemmings"

"Okay whatever you say, but you should ask him"

"No way"

"Fine". After arguing about this mystery boy who was now young Luke Hemmings, Carter left. I started to think about that summer 3 years ago when I met him.

I remember the first week we got to Australia. Carter and I walked around the local parks trying to become familiar with our surroundings when we saw 3 boys sitting in the grass playing guitars and singing. We stopped and watched the boys play for awhile before we left, but of course Carter being Carter she pulled out her camera and took a picture of the boys. Everyday that summer we would watch the boys play, and I grew a childish crush on the beautiful blonde haired singer, but that couldn't be Luke Hemmings.
