Never Be (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 4: I Killed My Pride

004

Saturday morning, Alas! weekends is my favorite.

I'll be going home and I'll see my parents. I missed them.

I called to let them know that I'll go home but really disappointed to hear Seige's voice..

"Morning, Donovan residence.."

"Seige, I'll be home..is mom and dad there?"

"Ooops, forgot to tell you..they'll be out for two days, they got a very important matter to do..Sorry stash, I really am..they're in a hurry when they left last night, I should've told you right away..aww"

"Seeeeeeeeeeiiiigggeee!!!! aaaaarrrggh! you're unbelievable.. okay2 I'll just go home next week. take care. kiss Shaun for me please..lub ya!"

I WON'T BE HOME. WHAT NOW?

Due to extreme boredom, I took a stroll in the downtown area..I left Armstrong and decided to just walk.

You know the feeling that you're walking alone and you see a lot of couples everywhere..and the music plays 🎵🎶"I still get jealous" ..Nick Joenas is doing great in bullying me.

I stopped on a restobar who seems to have a fine dining.. I ordered a double chessy pattie burger and an extra large strawberry Shake..I figured it might quench my thirst and hunger..

I entered every shop I passed by just to kill some time and finally went home by 7pm.

I took a shower and wear a hanging shirt which was Shaun's fav Nirvana shirt and pajamas.

Boooooooom!

what the heck is that?

The power shut down and I can't see a thing.... and the silence is a kill.. I'm starting to feel goosebumps..

I searched my cabinets for a battery and no such luck, my flashlight isn't working and my phone is dying.. 10% left..

I don't even have candles...why on earth this happened? holy molly why now...

I went to look outside if there's someone on my neighbor whose got an extra battery or have a spare candle..I knocked to everyone but no one's got one.. there's only one door left and I'm having second thoughts..no.. I really won't knock and seek help to that dork.. so I went inside..

It's really dark ... huhuhuhu Will I knock or nah? I can't take this anymore..I can still remember my childhood nightmares and it keeps me think of creepy things.

I stand on his door.. should I??????

I was about to knock and the door opened..I stood there mouth open and shocked..gawd this is..shameful but I really want a battery so I took the chance...

"Uhm Hey!!! uhhhh...I was about to knock but uhh you opened the door.. "

shittt..

"What do you want?"

"Just wanna ask if you ummm have an extra battery, you know for my flashlight coz I uh really don't have a spare one"

he just stared

"If you don't have I'll go back...."

"bwahahahahaah!!!"

fvck what???

"you're funny, come on in.." - he said

he just laughed at me..I killed my pride and he just laughed at me.. 😑😑😑😑 great!

"Sit down, I'm a boy scout you know, I always have a spare in case.."

"Uh thanks..you're really helpful..I uh asked our neighbors but they don't have so I figured you might have some.."

"You're lucky to have me as a neighbor. I mean if I don't have extra you might lose your sanity..I remembered an old lady telling me a story about this site where the apartment was built..It's creepy..you know ghost everywhere.."

shiiiittsss!!!

"are you trying to scare me or what? coz if you dont want to lend your battery I'll leave right away.."

He's driving me crazy, I'm afraid of ghost!! fvck, I seemed tough but I have weaknesses too..

"Woooh! Chill! wait did you hear that?"

"Hear what? no what's it?"..

"At your backkkkkkk!!!!!!"

"Huwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!" my heart speed fast...

I ran after him and grab his shirt...He stopped short in front of me clasping his stomach and having a hard time controlling his laughter...

"What the f**k is your problem! you happy with this? this ain't funny!!!" ..I embrace my knees and cried silently.. This isn't funny anymore..my heart still beating fast.

He felt my anger..he sat beside me..

"Hey, Im sorry..Im just kidding..I dont know you're this scared.."

I ignored him..

"Here"

he helped me stand but my knees are still shaking..

we sat in the couch..he offered his shoulder for me to lean..but I lean on the couch's arm rest.

"Im so sorry, I thought you don't believe in ghosts..how can I make it up to you.?"

he seemed sorry and I felt the guilt in his voice..

"Im scared..why did you do that.? ..I could just go back to my apartment and sleep to avoid this night.. but you just made it worse.."

"Sorry, I know there's nothing I can do..but if you'd like you can stay here..I'll keep you company.."

I feel a little bit awkward and this is too shallow to spend the night with this stranger..I don't even know him..

"I uhh, I'll just go back.."

I went straight to the door and went to my own apartment..

[A/N:] I'm sorry guys if I didn't introduced Luke yet..He'll be in the next chapter.
