Pretty Girls ⇼ Luke Hemmings

Wine Drunk!

I don’t know why I was surprised when Lea wasn’t in the room when I got back. Doubting she’d be back at all tonight, I called up Mandy and asked her to come over. Seeing as she was in the dorm building next to mine, it didn’t take her long to get here. She knocked on my door with a bottle of wine and pajamas on.
“Let’s get wine drunk!” She chanted with a smile as she let herself in. I debated whether or not I should tell her I had possible plans tonight, but decided against it. I needed to be with someone who actually cared about me, not at some concert where Luke would ignore me and I’d ultimately feel uncomfortable.

“I don’t think I’ve ever needed it more,” I laughed. Mandy kicked her shoes off and sat on my bed.
“Rule number one about drinking wine with me,” she paused, attempting to loosen the cork. “It’s an absolute necessity to be in pajamas,” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and oblige, changing into pajamas as she took the cork between her teeth and pulled it out with a loud pop. I handed her two mugs, sitting across from her.
“I don’t have proper wine glasses,” I frowned as she poured us each a glass.
“Mugs make it more fun!”

After a glass and a half of wine (And Mandy obsessively talking about her boyfriend), she finally turned the attention to me.
“What’s going on with you? I feel like we haven’t spoke in ages,” she was right, I’d been avoiding any conversation with her and Lea in my week without Luke. Regardless of the fact that I knew I’d be judged, I pounced at the opportunity to get an opinion on the status of Luke and I.
“I don’t know,” I breathed. “Luke showed up at my door last night. He was drunk and he kept saying how sorry he was,” I explained.

“Well, you didn’t believe him, did you?” She raised an eyebrow.
“That’s the thing,” I took a drink. “He really did seem sorry. And I know it’s stupid, but I forgave him. He really tried to get me not to go to that party, but I just kept insisting and he said that the… Judging… Or whatever, takes place when you dance together. But Luke and I never danced. We left instead and that got us disqualified. He just kept saying he was sorry and that he missed me and… I don’t know. I just caved in,” I sighed.

“Do you really think that’s the best idea? To forgive him just like that?” She asked after a long break of silence, occupied by the task of her refilling our mugs.
“I don’t know. He knows he’s on thin ice. It’s like he’s on his best behavior right now and maybe he was right when he said that we couldn’t stay away from each other,” I stood to open the window and the effects of the wine made me feel lightheaded.
“Maybe,” she mumbled.
“I can’t stand him sometimes. You know? He really brings out the worst in me. I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at someone like I have at him and I know I annoy him but-” I stopped, sighing and sitting back down.

“But what?” She urged.
“But I miss him when he’s not here and I guess I kind of miss having someone to kiss and to hold me when I sleep,” I stared down into my mug. She’d brought a red wine over and I worried that my teeth were tinted pink because of it.
“I understand.” She surprised me. “Just… Don’t let him think that he’s in the clear. Don’t let him think you’ll do anything he asks just because he’s attractive,”

“He wanted me to go to his show tonight,” Mandy peered up at me, as if to beg me to stay with her. “But I’m not going,” I assured. “I don’t want to see his friends and I have a feeling I’d be ignored if I went,” I subconsciously checked the time on my phone. “They should be going up to play soon,” I bit my lip.
“I hope they bomb it,” Mandy joked and I laughed. My phone chimed from an Instagram notification, saying that Michael had posted for the first time in a while. Curiosity got the best of me as I unlocked my phone, holding it out to Mandy as I pressed play on the video he put up.

“What we doin here Ash?” Michael asked from behind the camera.
“Pre-gig tradition!” Ashton chanted as he downed a shot. Michael panned the camera over to Lea and Calum, who were chatting at the bar. Calum looked up to the camera and gave it the middle finger as Lea blew a kiss. Finally, he panned to the other side of him and focused on Cass and Luke making out. “Get it!” Ashton yelled in the background and the video stopped.

“Looks like Luke isn’t missing the whole kissing and holding thing,” Mandy commented as she took my phone away from me and tossed it on the bed.
“God,” I rolled my eyes. “I feel like I can’t even be angry about this,” I took a long drink of my wine, not caring that I had class tomorrow. “We hardly just became friends again and… I don’t know. I don’t think it’s my right to be angry,” Mandy didn’t reply. Instead, she chugged down her wine and I did the same.
“I’d be angry,” she finally spoke, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. “I mean, if he said he missed you, that means he missed all of you and everything that you two did together. It’s not right for him to go around kissing other girls,” I grabbed the bottle from her and took a long drink from it.
“I just want to grab his stupid face and kiss him,” I grumbled as Mandy took the bottle back and took a drink before pouring us another glass. She laughed.
“I totally get that,” she handed me my mug back and I took a drink.

“This wine might be getting to my head,” I admitted, taking another sip.
“I know!” She laughed. “Isn’t being wine drunk amaaaazing?” She drawled out amazing before taking a sip.
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt this good while drunk,” I scrunched my nose.
“That’s because you’re getting drunk with the wrong people!” She exclaimed, throwing up her left hand and finishing off her glass. I finished mine as well, setting my mug on the floor. “You’re not drinking anymore?” Her face fell.
“I think we should save it for later,” she nodded, setting her mug on the floor and lying back on the mattress. I did the same, staring up at the stucco ceiling.

“God, college is weird,” she gushed. “We’re drunk on a Sunday night, obsessing over boys who don’t care,” she tucked her arms behind her head.
“Who ever said Rob doesn’t care?” I asked, referring to her boyfriend.
“He does,” she slurred. “It’s just… Not enough for me, you know? I need someone who devotes their entire life to me. Not just weekends and daily dinners,” she pouted.
“Geez, I’d feel lucky if I just got someone interested enough in me to call me theirs.”

“I want to set you up with someone!” She exclaimed, leaning up on her elbows to peer at me.
“I hate being set up,” I lied. I really just wanted to be available for Luke… If he ever decided he wanted to be with me.
“Please?” She begged. “You’ll love him I swear,” she pulled at my hand and I sat up.
“Tell me about him,” I rolled my eyes.
“His name is Jeremy. He’s a total hottie! And he’s a real gentleman. Come on, let’s go on a double date!”
“Fine,” I sighed. “But if I don’t like him, I’m never seeing him again,” and I knew I wouldn’t like him. Nobody could ever compare to the feeling I felt with Luke.

“Does Luke do cocaine anymore?” I couldn’t help but ask. Mandy furrowed her eyebrows, sitting up and staring at me.
“I don’t know,” she shook her head. “I hardly know the guy,”
“I hope he doesn’t.” I picked at my nails.
“You wouldn’t be able to stop him if he did,”
“I know.” I looked away from her and to the window. It was dark out now. I wondered how long we’d been sitting here.
“He used to be an addict. Hell, maybe he still is. That shit is hard to quit,” she told me and I nodded. I didn’t have anything to say and I didn’t want to ask him myself. How could I accuse him of something like that? Would he even tell me the truth?

My eyes felt light and heavy at the same time and I couldn’t help but close them and lie back on the mattress. I had a feeling that everything would be okay, but then again my intuition had been off lately. I let my breathing slow and my mind wander off until I fell asleep.
