Harsh | Punk Luke Hemmings

Chapter Sixteen

"I know enough. You helped me when I was at my lowest point. I think that most people wouldn't had even cared." I say, telling him the truth. Anyone else wouldn't have cared what happened to me but Luke did.

"You're so different from the rest Andy. I don't get you." He looks at me, I stare back at him, we don't say anything for awhile. The silence had given my the protection I had wanted, but Luke had given me more.

"I don't get you either," I say finally. I then turn away from him, trying to maybe sleep.

I feel a arm wrap around my waist and legs tangle with mine. His breathing slowly hits my ear, "Good," He whispers.

I drift to sleep, sleeping the best I had for weeks.

The next morning I wake up peacefully. I feel the sun shine on my face before I open my eyes to see it. The bright light makes me squint, but it feels good on my pale skin. I feel so refreshed from an amazing night of sleep. I flip over to realize I'm in bed alone. I start to think that the event that had occurred last night didn't even happen.

I can smell traces of cologne and see an imprint next to me, I figure that it wasn't just my imagination. I slowly get up from bed, and stand up stretching. I can smell something cooking so I go off to find Luke, hopefully he won't be half naked like last time.

I walk into the kitchen and see Luke cooking with some music playing, I don't know the song but Luke is humming to it. The smell of pancakes make my mouth water, I decided not to disturb his peace so I don't say anything. He turns around and jumps a bit when he sees me, I let out a laugh.

"God damn Andy, you scared me. How long have you been standing there?" He asks, making his way toward me.

"Only a minute or so. Don't worry I'm not a creeper, watching your every move," I say to him.

"Good to know, I see we are getting to know each other yeah?" He smiles, I smell the pancakes some more, telling me I'm hungry.

"Yeah we are, I didn't know you cooked." I say nodding towards the pan. Luke is not the type a guy I see cooking in general.

He laughs a bit, "No actually I suck at cooking, this is just lucky I guess." He says and goes to flip them, making sure they don't burn.

He finishes the pancakes and brings them to the table along with butter and syrup. I thank him and take a bite. They aren't bad, but they aren't the best I have ever eaten. I tell Luke they are great, not wanting to pop his cooking confidence.

"I have somewhere to take you," He says in between bites, he looks over at me, his blue eyes glowing again. They remind me of what happened last night.

"Where's that?" I say, I remember him saying he was going to show me how he gets his bruises.

"It's a surprise but I'm taking you home so you can change and we can go later on tonight," He tells me, as much as I like spending time with him, I need to take a shower and change my clothes so he has the right thinking.

"Getting rid of me so soon Hemmings?" I smile, and look at him once again to see him already looking at me.

"Never," He smirks.

I get ready and dressed by 7 and Luke told me he would pick me up at 7:30. I have an half hour to spare. I'll admit, staying in this house kind of creeps me out, only because I didn't want to be alone if Michael showed up. I doubt he would, he has better things to do.

I sit patiently on the couch, waiting for him. I scroll through twitter not finding anything interesting. I hear the door bell and my heart jumps, is Luke 30 minutes early or is it Michael? I don't even want to know.

I slowly make my way towards the door, still scared of who it might be. I peek through the viewing hole to find Luke standing there, thank god. I open the door for him, letting him in. "You're a bit early." I say to him.

"Is that a bad thing?" He questions me.

"No, I was just worried that it might have been Michael, I still haven't even talked to him. I think he might just show up randomly one day and I won't know what to do," I say stressed over the situation.

"Give me your phone." He states and I hand him over my phone, I really don't have much to hide. He does a few things and hands it back. "Now you have my number and you are to call me when or if you think he will come over, I'm not going to let him hurt you I promise." He says with his eyes to mine, I know he isn't lying.

"Thank you," I say quietly. He smiles and takes my hand.

"Are you ready to go?" He wonders, I smile at the sight of our hands together.

"Yeah I am, if only I knew where we are going." I sigh, I really don't like surprises. Especially with Luke, I mean I have no idea where he would take me. I guess that's the point of trying to get to know each other.

"Hey, don't be worried," He says while squeezes my hand, "And just please don't judge me, after we get there I will explain everything." His eyes have worry in them, I hope he knows I won't judge him.

"Well I won't judge you I promise." He nods and leads me out the door to the car.

In the car we listened to his music, really good music actually. His taste in music is great probably because he is in a band. I like mostly everything he plays for me, even some new stuff I had never heard of. The car ride doesn't take that long, when we get there all I see is a big building, there's really nothing to it.

He gets out and walks with me to the side, he grabs my hand once again, "You trust me right?"

"Yes."

"Good."

He led him in the door that had basically appeared in the ground. The room inside led to another room, which had a window leading to the main floor. How he found this, I don't know. It's a cool set up even though I have no clue what it even is.

He opens the window to let me go in. I jump in the room, suddenly overwhelmed by all the people in there. I would have never expected that. I look around, my eyes taking in everything that's happening. There are people in crowds, some smoking some drinking. There is a big crowd in the other room, I can't even tell what's going on in there.

I look to Luke and he is smiling, obviously this place makes him happy. Some people come up to him to greet him, It seems he comes here a lot. He fits in good with all the people too. He squeezes my hand, I noticed he hadn't let go.

"What do you think?" He says, smiling and looking down over me. All together, I think it's cool, I just have no idea what it is, or why it's in a basement of some building.

"What is this place?" I ask, not answering his question.

"Welcome Andy, to Zone."
