The Glue - Luke Hemmings: Sequel to Collapsed

Chapter 16

Luke's POV

Today was our last day in Australia, and we were gonna spend it hanging out at a park me and my friends always use to go to. Tyler and a few of my old friends were coming with us as well.

We were approaching the park, and as soon as Lucy saw the swings she made a run for it. John, another friend of mine went with her.

I held Aria's hand and swing it back and forth. "I'm sad that were leaving tomorrow." She pouted.

Aria had grown to really like it here. "Don't be sad." I chuckled. "Then I will be sad."

She laughed, and we sat down on a nearby bench and talked. Lucy ran back over to us, while the Tyler and the other guys went to go get some food.

She sat down next to us and we continued talking. But everything changed all to quickly.

"Lucas." Said the voice I knew all to well. My eyes widened, and I tried not to blow up right then.

I slowly turned around, and came face to face with the man I hated with a passion. My father. He had aged a lot.

My breathing became sharp. I looked at Aria and Lucy, motioning to go eat with the guys. She nodded and they both walked off.

I stood up, and stared at the man who was suppose to be my father, not an abusive drunk.

"You've grown up so much." He said giving me a slight smile.

I continued giving him a cold glare. "What the fuck do you want." I spoke through gritted teeth.

"I was walking, and I saw you. I want your forgiveness. I'm a changed man." He said.

"You and I both know that's a bullshit lie." I said harshly.

"I swear, I really am. Being in prison gave me time for think. I also went to therapy."

"I will never forgive you for what you did. You killed my mother. You treated me like I was a piece of shit. Told me I was worthless. You were an abusive drunk, who took his fucking anger out on his son and wife. I've tried to kill myself because of you. But no, I couldn't because the daughter you didn't want. Lucy. I couldn't because I had to watch out for her, protect her. Something that should've been your job not mine. But I couldn't live with myself knowing I would've left her with you. You probably would've hit her too. Am I right?" I yelled in his face.

He opened his mouth as if he were about to speak but nothing came out. "Exactly, I hate being related to you. I left this place because of you. I left because I wanted nothing todo with you. And I still don't, and I never will. I hate you. Your a fucking disgrace. Nothing you do will ever make me forgive you. Nothing." I shouted, eating a few glares from bystanders. But I didn't care.

"Lucas you--."

I cut him off. "Don't call me that. My name is Luke, and Luke only."

"Luke." He hesitated. "What I was trying to say is that you woldnt understand." He spoke firmly.

"Really, now. Care to enlighten me." The sarcasm was laced into my voice.

"Your mother cheated on me." It was no longer anger that I felt, it was rage.

"Bullshit, we both know that she'd never do that. She was to good for you. She was just to caring, so she stayed with you." I growled.

"You have to believe me, when I say it. She cheated on me with one of her co-workers. Luke, please. I'm not lying to you." He pleaded.

"Give me one good reason to believe you, maybe then I'll consider it." I seethed.

"I'm your dad, what other reason is there. Son, please."

"No, that's not good enough. You were a lousy father, I wouldn't consider you my dad. Your just some guy that gave me half of his DNA. You mean nothing to me." I spat, before walking towards Aria and Lucy.

"Let's go." I said. They nodded and we said bye to the guys and made our way back to the hotel.

I looked back at him one last On my way, and he was perched up on the bench, wails came from him. I would never forgive him for the things he did, even if my mom cheated on him.

We got back to the hotel, and Lucy went over to the couch and watched tv. I sat down on the edge of the bed, and Aria stood between my legs.

"I just don't understand, why did he have to show up." I groaned out in frustration.

Aria cupped his face. "Don't take this as me agreeing with him. Because I'm not. But maybe after all he did change. Maybe he wants you back in his life. I'm not saying you have to forgive him though, he put you through shit. It's your choice whether you want him in your life." She kissed my forehead.

"I don't want him in my life." I mumbled.

"Then you don't have to have him in your life." I nodded, and laid back onto the bed, and pulled Aria on top of me.

"I can't believe we're going home tomorrow." I mumbled.

"I know, everything here is amazing." She said.

I didn't respond, but instead I stared her. She looked like she was in deep concentration. "What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"You know the day we visited your mom?" I nodded. "We're you serious about making me your wife one day?"

Instead in responding, I pulled her lips down to mine. After a few seconds, I pulled away. "Did that answer your question?"

"Yes, but can actually say yes?" She smiled.

"Yes Aria, I do want to make you my wife one day." I kissed her nose.

"Good. Cause I don't know what life without you now would be like." She laid her down on my chest and I loosely wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Umm....guys....stop." Lucy said sassily.

"Shut up will you." I chuckled at her.

"Once you two stop having an affair I will." Aria and I practically choked.

"What?" We said in unison, sitting up and looking Lucy. I always had to make sure I didn't say the wrong things around her.

"Lauren was watching a movie and Harry and I watched it with her. She said that the boy and girl in the movie were having an affair when I asked what it was about." She shrugged.

"Okay, whatever." I sighed. "Remind me to never let Lauren babysit her again." I chuckled.

Aria just giggled. "No, I think Lauren has done a great job."

I playfully rolled my eyes, and rested my head on her shoulder. "Your the best girlfriend ever, you know that?"

"So I've been told." She smiled.

The earlier events of today didn't even bother me anymore. I had Aria and Lucy with me right now, and that's all that mattered to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: Luke's dad is back, and he wants forgiveness. But Luke won't budge. I wouldn't either tbh.

What Lucy said was hilarious. "Stop having an affair." Hahahaha, I have nothing against Lauren Irwin just saying. She seems like genuinely nice and beautiful person.

Also, I have nothing against Andrew Hemmings. Again, he also seems like super nice, funny guy. I'm sure Luke, Ben, and Jack think he's a great dad.

I just wanted to clear things up before people start saying things. It's only for the purposes of the story. That's all.
