Challenges: A Luke Hemmings Fan Fiction {1/3}

Kattleya's P O V

Luke Hemmings and I met in school. He was one of the cool kids even in his so called "fetus days". He was the guy of my dreams. But of course he was always surrounded by girls who had 10 times more chances with him than me. But that didn't stop me of course.

It was weird how guys would choose the girls that had no care whatsoever about them. All they liked about him was looks but I looked inside. I could remember the day we had our first conversation. I was sitting in the bleachers of the football field after class. "Nice shirt." He said, pointing to my shirt which advertised the band Green Day.

"Are you a fan or is the shirt just cute?" He asked.

"I'm a fan." I replied casually. Why was he talking to me? He had no idea who I was. I was just that girl in the band shirt.

"Really? Name 5 of their songs."

"21 Guns, Minority, Stray Heart, Nice Guys Finish Last, and Long View." I said, he raised an eyebrow at me, surprised that I wasn't a fake fan.

"Cool." He said and left.

"Heh. He's cute." I chuckled to myself.

If only I could tell 16-year-old me about 21 year old me, the me today. If she knew that I'm dating Luke Hemmings, she would freak out. In the past, he turned me down. I was 17 that time and I did my best to impress him, I became more focused, fearless. I tried to look beautiful every day.

But that didn't make him like me, he said he didn't like me. Not even a bit. I was torn. I wanted to kiss him at the same time murder him. He barely knew me and he had no time to get to know me until one day. He sat by the bleachers looking down at his phone. He was crying, I could tell. It was sad to see him like that.

Without thinking, I approached him. His phone displayed the photo of a girl, she looked pretty. Was Luke crying over her? "Hey," I said as I sat down beside him.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah. I guess I am."

"You guess?"

"Look, I'm not int the best of moods alright?," He said, his strong and steady voice said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to raise my voice at you. Getting dumped f*cking hurts."

"We've all been there."

"Have you?" The question shocked me. My eyes widened as I looked down at my feet.

"Yeah. It was hard but I got over it." He sighed.

"I'll get going." I said as I put my headphones on. I got off the bleachers and started singing to myself, it was a song that I loved from Taylor Swift. I sang along quietly, "I just wanna show you, she don't even know you, she's never gonna love you like I want to."

I felt a hand grab on to my elbow and I was quickly spun around only to be kissed. As the guy pulled away I realized it was Luke. "It was you all along." He whispered as he pressed his forehead to mine.

2 years after that, I'm now the proud girlfriend of Luke Hemmings. It was tough, fangirls swarmed him all the time, he was always on tour and sometimes I couldn't go with him on tour.

Until something hapened...

I got pregnant. Luke was so mad at himself because my family was so disappointed. I even had to quit college. But if you ask me, it was the best thing taht happened to me.

After the baby was out, my family's anger subsided. I lived a new life with Luke. We bought an apartment, my friends would still come and visit me from time to time. It was perfect. We were a family now, Me, Luke, and our child Laurissa.

...

It was a cold winter night. My friend, Liona, and I were in my home. We sat on the couch wrapped up in blankets and watching Doctor Who. Laurissa was already asleep. "Could you babysit Laurissa tomorrow?" I asked.

"Uh... I have a date with Mitch tomorrow." She said. It was obviously not an excuse.

"You could say no, I remember the last time." We chuckled at the memory. Laurissa was a really hyper girl so she would run around all over the place leaving a mess wherever she would go. Liona may have been a cool aunt but she had a breaking point too. When I got home, Liona was tired, her hair and makeup was a mess, she looked like she was barely holding it together.

Before I could say another word, Luke arrived. "I'm home." He said, looking tired as always.
