❦Broken❦ (Luke Hemmings)

❦Chapter 11❦

I awoke to no arms wrapping around me, I reached down and grabbed my phone. It was 4:37, I sprang up and walked downstairs. Luke was in the kitchen, he was making a sandwich. I stood and looked at him for a while. He hadn't noticed me there, I just stared for a while.

He turned around after making his sandwich, he jumped a little but smiled. He gave me the plate,

"I was just about to take this up to you. How are you? You've been asleep all day." He said coming towards me, only a few inches away.

"I'm okay I guess, tired. Thanks, are you okay, I shouldn't have left you down here alone, I was so tired." I laughed a little, I looked up his beautiful eyes.

"It's okay really. I didn't mind." He sighed, he grabbed a coke from the fridge and put it in my hand.

I shivered and Luke threw his arm around me, he walked me into the sitting room. We launched onto the sofa and Luke draped the blanket onto us, we were watching Friends on repeat.

We sat together talking about rubbish for the next hour, until I heard the front door open, I moved quickly a few inches away from Luke, he winked at me.

"Darling, we're home." My Mother's voice boomed through the house, I flinched a little.

I got up and walked towards the door, taking her coat from her and putting it up on the hook. The others piled in, exchanged politries.

"Tonight, my darling, we shall be going to a dinner at the Jamerson's house, they are having a big gathering with lots and people. I said we would come, and bring our new guests with us. Darling I know that you aren't fond of Matt nowadays but we have to be nice, they tried so much after Stefan, its time for us to return the favour." She told me, her voice faltering near the end.

Me, my Mother and Father all looked down and went silent.

"You're right Mother, if Liz and Andrew and Luke are happy, why not?" I happily said even though I felt tears coming, I blinked them away. My Mother smiled and my Father patted my shoulder.

We all parted ways, I heard someone walking up the stairs behind me, I looked around to see Luke. I stopped at the top and sat on the top stair.

"Matt? Is that the guy from the restaurant?" He asked.

I simply nodded and looked at my hands, I looked back up at him and smiled.

"I hope you don't mind going. You can finally see what I'm like in a public enviroment. Poisoning drinks, knocking things over. Such fun." I laughed, and he did too.

"I would love to." He put his hands out and I grabbed them, he pulled me up and I walked into my room, he into the bathroom.

I ripped open my wardrobe and pulled out a plain black t-shirt, with the Pretty Reckless logo down it. A leather jacket and black ripped skinny jeans.

I applied some heavy eye-liner, that is the only make-up that I wear.

Luke's clothes were all over the bed, I smiled to myself and picked them up, putting them over the top of the duvet and making the bed. Half attempting to fold his clothes and putting my old dirty ones in the bin, I walked out.

I walked down the stairs to see my Mother, she half smiled at my clothes.

"Oh dear, I do wish you would wear something more sophisticated, but that's just you isn't it." She patted me on the back and called up for my Father.

I ripped my hair out of the fallen low bun it was in and shuck it, turning my head over and ruffling it.

I looked back up the stairs to see the Hemmings family descending down and Luke looking me and and down and raising his eyebrows.

*beep beep*

Caroline:

Could u come over, I need ur help!! I know u are going tonite!!x

"Well, everyone, I'm going to go out for 20 minutes, we have time." I said quickly shoving on my combat boots.

My Mother tried to say something but I kissed her cheek and walked towards the door, grabbing my keys out of the bowl.

I knew It was rude but I'm here whenever Caroline needs me.

I got into the car and started the engine, it roared to life and I made my way to Caroline's.

I put on Chocolate by The 1975 because their lyrics are:

Dressed in black,

From head to toe,

We got guns sitting under our petticoats

I knew I didn't have a gun but I was dressed all in black.

I pulled up to her house, her brothers car was there so that meant all his friends were there.

Jason's friend Danny had always liked me but nothing ever happened, I didn't really take notice of them.

I opened there front door and yelled

"I'm here!" I heard Caroline reply telling me to come up.

Jason's gang were in the living room, they were doing shots. I walked in to hear an ambush of greetings.

I picked up I little untouched shot glass, poured myself some vodka and downed it all in 3 seconds, they laughed at me and I walked out and up the stairs.

Caroline's bedroom was filled with clothes, she always did it before an event.

"What is it Care? I have guests I can't stay long." I sighed and she looked at me through the mirror.

"I don't know what to wear and also I thought you might need an excuse to get away from the new guests." She said picking up another dress and trying it on.

"Actually they are okay, I told you about Luke right, he's the son and he's really cool. I don't mind them." I told her and she looked shocked, she turned around and laughed at me.

"Somebody likes him." She insinuated.

I scoffed at her and walked back downstairs shouting up at her,

"See you there" she replied the same thing.

I would say that was a pretty pointless visit to be honest.

I said goodbye to Jason and his mates, and walked out and got into my car.

I sat there for a minute. I did like Luke. A lot, but what's the point, he will never like me.

I started the car as my phone buzzed.

Luke:

Where are you?xx

I smiled to myself and replied.

On my way back xx

I locked my phone and pulled out onto the road, I drove quickly, talking the long way home..

I pulled into the drive, everybody was already piling out the door. My Mother shot me a relieved but angry glance. Luke bounded out and opened the door, he jumped in.

"Where did you go?" He asked looking me dead in my eyes.

"To see my friend, you'll meet her tonight. Why are you okay?" I asked frowning my eyebrows at him.

He nodded and smiled, we drove out the drive and I put the windows down and we sang along to the music playing.

I pulled up to the Jamerson's house, so many people were already there. I felt a in-encouraging groan vibrate through my throat.

Luke chuckled which made me chuckle.

I got out and Luke came around and hesitantly grabbed my hand. I reassured him and took his.

"Gird your loins, you're in for a treat." I told him without looking in his direction.

"He squeezed my hand and we walked towards the door.
