Imagine for Mikayla
He sighs and runs his hands through his hair, you were going to be home any minute and he was going to have to tell you. He had no idea on how to break the news to you. He sits down with his head in his hands, his thoughts racing at how you would take the news. Maybe he should just do it quickly, like ripping off a band-aid. But, then again that would make him seem insensitive. Maybe he should sit you down and tell it to you slow, that way you would have time to process it. He quickly stands up as he hears the front door open and your footsteps come up the hallway.
“Hey babe, I got your message. What do you want to talk to me about?” you ask setting your bag down.
“Um…uh…” he takes a deep breath before walking over to you and grabbing your hand.
He leads you over to the couch where the two of you sit down and he rubs the back of your hand with his thumb before clearing his throat.
“Your mom called” he says.
“Yeah? What did she want? Is this about her cake pan? I told her I would give it back, but she just doe…”
“No, this isn’t about a cake pan Mikayla. It’s about Hunter” he says.
“What about him?” you ask.
“He um…he got in an accident last night.”
“Is he gonna be okay?” you ask.
“No, no he’s not…he um…he didn’t make it. You mom says that doctors announced him DOA” Luke says.
You sit there in shock as the news sinks in, your best friend. The one person you could always depend on, the one person who was always there for you was gone. You didn’t even notice you were crying until Luke was kneeling in front of you wiping your tears away.
“I’m so sorry Mikayla” he says pulling you into a hug.
You and Luke sit there frozen, your thoughts racing as you think back to last night…
A Few Weeks Later…
You hadn’t moved from your bed since you got the news, it was like you couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that Hunter was gone. You only got up once to go to the funeral, after that it was right back to your safe zone. Luke was doing everything he could to make it easier for you and you really appreciated all he was doing but nothing could fix that hole in your heart. All you could think about was the night it happened, Hunter had dropped you off after a night out and then driven home. Before he got home though, he pulled over to help a woman and her kids out with their car. It had a flat tire and the mom was having a hard time changing it, Hunter being the person he was got out of his car to help out. No one saw the drunk driver coming, he had, had one too many drinks and his vision was blurry. The driver had dropped his bottle and was reaching down to grab it when he swerved off the road, Hunter didn’t even have the chance to move out of the way. You laid there in silence the story on replay over and over again in your head. Luke walks in the room holding a cup of tea and sits down beside you before setting the tea down on the bedside table.
“Love, I know you’re hurting but you’ve got to get out of bed. This isn’t healthy.”
“I can’t” you say.
“Yes, you can. How about you come to lunch with me and lads, they miss hanging out with you and the fresh air might do you some good” he says brushing your hair out of your face.
“I don’t know” you say.
“Please, for me?” he asks.
You look at Luke, you knew he was worried about you. It had been two weeks since you had left the house and maybe he was right, the fresh air might do you some good. You nod and Luke gives you a small smile before helping you out of bed.
“I’ll let the boys know we’re coming” he says.
“Okay” you say.
You watch as he walks out dialing his phone and you grab a towel and a change of clothes before heading to the bathroom to shower. It was a long time before you got out of the shower, so long in fact that Luke had to come in a turn the water off because you were curled up in a ball on the shower floor, tears streaming down your face again.
Luke grabs the towel from the nearby rack and wraps it around you before carrying you to the bedroom. He holds you, his hand brushing over your hair telling you it was okay.
“We can cancel if you want” he says.
You wipe your eyes and sniffle, “no…no I don’t want to cancel. I want to do this, I can do this. Just give me a minute.”
You pull away from Luke’s arms and he watches as you walk back into the bathroom to get the clothes you had forgotten. You walk back out wearing your favorite pair of jeans and a long sleeve shirt, you run a brush through your hair and grab one of Luke’s beanies before slipping on your shoes.
“Okay” you say standing in front of Luke.
He stands up and brushes your hair out of your face, before pressing a kiss to your cheek.
“I’m proud of you” he says.
You give him a small smile and the two of you make your way downstairs. Luke being the understanding boyfriend that he is choose a restaurant that wasn’t too far from home just in case you felt like you couldn’t handle it. As soon as you walk in you’re attacked by three boys and a whole lot of hugs.
“Mikayla!” Michael says.
“Hey Mikey” you say hugging him back.
“About time you came out of that dark cave you call a home” Calum says jokingly.
You watch as Luke shoots him a look and Ashton rolls his eyes.
“Ignore him, he decided that he was going to have a beer on the way over here” Ashton says pulling you into a hug.
Three hugs and one elbow to Calum’s ribs later, you were all sitting down enjoying your meal. You were laughing for what felt like the first time in years at one of Calum’s crazy stories when everything finally calmed down. After your meal the guys had decided to treat you to some frozen yogurt in the park.
“In all seriousness, how are you doing Mikayla? Luke told us you were having a hard time” Calum says licking his spoon.
You clear your throat, before setting your yogurt down. “I’m fine. It’s just a little hard is all, but I think I’m okay now.”
You look around you at all the people that truly care about you and smile over at Luke. He smiles back at you before grabbing your hand and intertwining your fingers with his.
“Thank you” you say.
“For what?” Luke asks.
“For dragging my sorry butt out of bed. This is exactly what I needed” you say.
“That’s what I’m here for” he says.
“I know and that’s one of the reason why I love you” you say.
Luke presses a gentle kiss to your lips and smiles.
“I love you too.”
The moment however, is ruined when the two of you are dogpiled by three grown boys.
“We love you too!” Calum says.
You laugh, “I love you guys too!”
You spent the rest of the day laughing and spending time with Luke and three of your closest friends.
