amnesia ↠ l.h

Chapter 29

The time had now come. Me and the boys, along with a huge amount of fans and the boys' families, were standing there at the airport, waiting for the boys' flight. Luke, Calum, Ash and Mikey were taking photos with the fans whilst I just awkwardly stood beside and watched them. Once in a while, Luke looked over at me and tried to smile.

After a while, the security guards told all the fans that they had to leave and that the boys had to board the plane very soon. The fans left and then there was only the boys, me and their families. Not an eye was dry at that moment.

"I don't want to leave" Luke whispered to me as he looked straight into my eyes with pain.

"You have to. You'll regret it later if you don't go" I said and took his hand in mine.

"But if I go, I'll regret leaving you"

"Luke, this is your dream. You'll get famous and get to play your music to loads of people. You'll probably forget about me anyway so it doesn't matter if you leave me" I said, trying to cheer him up even though it hurt as fuck.

"I don't want to forget you"

"There are loads of thing that one doesn't want. But there are often more things that one want. And the things they want are often more important"

"Luke we have to go" Michael said quietly as he put his hand on Luke's shoulder.

"What?" Luke sovbed as he dried his tears. "No, not yet"

"I'm sorry" Michael said.

Luke pulled me in for a big hug and refused to let me go. The security guards then tore him away from me. Nothing put pain and tears were visanle in his eyes.

"Bye" I whispered as I watched the security guards push him toward the gate.

"I love you, Alison!" Luke shouted before disappearing out pf sight.

I instantly fell to the ground and the tears just flooded. They didn't even give me time to say goodbye to Michael, Cal or Ashton.

Liz sat down beside me. "It'll get better" She said.

I stood up and then ran away and out of the airport. The tears felt like they were burning in my eyes and my knees felt weak. I started to make my way toward my house. If I wanted to get home today, I had to go now or else I'd have to walk in the dark and I knew Luke didn't like that.

When I came home, I sank into a big pile of sadness and just let the tears flow. Just when I was about to get up, the door opened up and my back fell toward the ground.

"Oh I'm so sorry!" I heard a voice. I opened my eyes and saw Liz.

"It's okay" I said.

"Luke said that he wanted you to have this" Liz said and handed me a little cute navy blue box with a silver ribbon.

I opened it and saw a silver necklace with a little silver heart pendant. My eyes widened as I gasped.

"Look closer" She said, and as I did, I noticed a little L engraved on the heart.

I closed the box and started to cry, thinking back to all the cute moments Luke and I had had together. Which were a lot of memories.

"Can I be alone, please?" I politely asked Liz. She nodded and walked out of the house.

"You know where I am if you need to talk, sweetie" She said before closing the door.

I started to bawl my eyes out just when the door closed. My heart felt like it was gonna fall apart any second and everything just felt empty. Like there was this big emptieness inside of me that couldn't be replaced. Nothing felt right.

I carefully opened the box again and looked at the necklace. Sob after sob could be heard before I picked it up from the box and put it on. I held the heart tightly in my hand and just kept crying.

The next day, I woke up on the couch, finding myself lying in the couch exactly the way I used to when Luke and I slept here. Except there was no one hugging me from behind, or snores could be heard, or the warmth of anyone could be felt. Everything was still empty.

I got up out of the couch and made my way to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and searched through it until I gave up and realised I wasn't hungry. Tears started to form in my eyes again but I blinked them away. I had to be strong. Luke would've wanted that.

After a while of just sitting in the kitchen, thinking of Luke and staring into nothing, I decided to try and call him.

No answer.

So I tried calling the other boys but still no one answered. Even though Sydney was 9 hours before London, there was no chance they could be alseep now? The clock was like 8pm, and yes I slept until 8pm.

Had they already forgot about me? Or did they just realise that I was a waste of time?

I got up and walked to the hallway, put on some shoes and a jacket and then ran outside. The rain was pouring down and I immediately felt my hair and clothes getting soaked. But why would I care? It wasn't like that was my biggest problem. My biggest problem now was that I was still alive, and that Luke wasn't here.

I am so sorry that I haven't updated for soooo long!
