Heartache on the Big Screen

Rachel’s POV
“Ugh!” I collapsed on the couch my head landing in Luke’s lap. He instinctively started combing through my hair. I smiled up at him. “How was your day?” I asked.
“Alright. Boring but my bestie is here now so it’s all better.” He exaggerated tickling my sides. I laughed and squirmed from his touch, which of course just encouraged him to continue. As I was wiggling around trying to escape his torture I fell off the couch and was lying on my back on the floor. Luke climbed off the couch too and got on top to continue tickling me, but right when he went to tickle me again I spun us around. Now I am on top pinning his hands to the floor so he can’t flip us again. We were both kind of out of breath and our faces were inches apart.
“Gotcha.” I kissed his cheek and left to go into the kitchen and get a water bottle. About a minute later Ash came in.
“What did you do to Luke? He is lying on the floor out of breath with a confused look on his face.” He said and I smirked.
“He’s still laying there.” I asked surprised he hasn’t moved yet. It’s not like I haven’t kissed him before. I mean we aren’t together but it’s pretty obvious to everyone that I like him. But he doesn’t like me back. Who would? I mean I thought Calum was the one, but……..
“Ya, what happened?” Ash said with his head in the fridge.
“We just had a tickle fight then I kissed him on the cheek. No big deal.” I said shrugging.
“Well apparently it was for him.” He sighed grabbing out a bow of left over pizza. I thought about what had just happened and what he had said. Why would be a big deal to him? He didn’t like me, right? No. No. That’s not it. Maybe….no. What was going on and why didn’t I know about it. I mean I live with these guys when we aren’t on tour. They are my best friends.
“What do you mean?” I asked Ash.
“oiueiusgd iuayidbiety.” I didn’t understand a word he said because his mouth was filled with pizza. “You really don’t know?” He tried again with food in his mouth this time.
“Know what?” I asked still confused.
“Babe, I’m sorry but your gonna have to figure this one out.” He kissed my forehead and walked into his bedroom which is the first door to the right of the kitchen. I was still confused so I just went back into the lounge and there were the rest of the boys on the one small couch. So being the brat that I am I went and jumped on top of them all so that I was lying across them. They all grunted in pain but soon got over it and we watched TV in silence.


“Boys dinner!!!!” I screamed as I opened the door to see the delivery guy. He smiled even though I know my yelling probably scared them.
“Hungry children?” He asked politely as I fished out money.
“Something like that.” I chuckled. The guys came out and grabbed the pizza boxes from the man.
“Thanks Love.” Luke said kissing my cheek as he ran past me and into the kitchen.
“Boys!!!!” I screamed after them. One by one all of their heads popped out from the kitchen. I raised my eyebrows at them.
“Thank you Rachel.” They all mumbled.
“And…..” I gestured to the man with me hand.
“Thank you mister delivery man.” They mumbled as well twiddling their thumbs. I shook my head and gave the man his money.
“That’s not exactly the kind of children I envisioned.” He smiled. I smiled and laughed too.
“Ya they’re just children trapped in teenage bodies.” I said shaking my head. He laughed and waved as he went on his way.
“You guys better have saved me some!!!” I shouted closing the door.


“Rach?” Mikey asked popping his head into my room and I almost screamed since I was changing before realizing who it was. I don’t have to worry about Mikey because he is practically my brother; he is so over protective of me but not in the romantic, jealous kind of way. He came in and sat on my bed.
“What’s up?” I asked sitting next to him. He sighed and laid back on the bed.
“I sound like a freakin girl.” He mumbled. “I’ve been having nightmares.” He said embarrassed.
“Mikey, you don’t have to be embarrassed, it could happen to anyone. Do you want to talk about it? What have they been about?” I started out. Not a lot of people know this about me but I went to college for four years, I mean I was still singing and dancing and acting but I wasn’t as big as I was now. But when I was in college I studied psychology. It was always a hobby of mine but music and acting is my life. I wouldn’t change my life in anyway if I could. Actually that’s a lie. My life isn’t as perfect as I let myself think or as it seems to the world.
“I’ve just been seeing white, for a long time, but then there’s this echo. It’s like calling to me. Just a repeating whisper of my name. The voice sounds familiar but I can’t pinpoint it. Then all of a sudden I see it. You.” He pauses as I raise my eyebrows. He almost looks as if he’s going to cry. “You’re bloody, and bruised. “ He lets out a sob. I am almost in tears just looking at him like this. I bring him in my arms as he continues, “You were lying on the ground, dying. Then I wake up. It’s been going on for almost a week.” He has stopped sobbing but he was still crying. I felt a tear or two roll off my cheeks as well.
“It’s ok. It’s just a dream. I’m here.” I kissed the top of his head. He looked up at me.
“Can I sleep in here tonight? Maybe having you here with me will help.” He asked a little scared.
“Of course, you’re always welcomed.” I reassured him. He smiled and nodded. I stood up and he followed my actions, I pulled back the covers of the bed and got in scooting over to the edge to make room for him. He got in and I rested my head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around my waist.
“Night.” I mumbled.
“Night Rach.” He said and I closed my eyes falling asleep shortly after.

*Dream*
“You little worthless lying brat!!” My father’s voice boomed through the house.
“Please! I swear I didn’t!” My mother’s voice followed in pursuit. I shook with fear knowing what would come next. I heard it, the sting of the slap. I cringed knowing I couldn’t do anything, since the last time I tried to I got this broken arm I have at the moment.
An hour later my mother comes in with a first aid kit. I smiled sadly at her black eye and other injuries. After a few months I have become an expert on how to fix injuries like those.
*Flash forward*
“Rachel Lee Joans!!!!” I heard my father’s voice as I was packing. Since I am officially 18 I can leave the house on my own and I have been saving up money to go to school. I of course never told my father that since he would never let me leave. I finished packing and snuck through my window. I ran down the street to Caylee and Bailey’s house, they know what’s been going on and have been helping me through everything.

*Flash more forward*
“I want you on my record label.” The man came up to me after hearing my little performance at the local café, I only do it to get a little money. Plus I get to sing and everything. I looked up shocked. He had a very serious look on his face. He was dressed in a suit and had a Bluetooth in. His hands were stuffed in his pockets.
“What?” I asked dumbfounded.
“You’re amazing; I want you on my label.” He said handing me a business card.
Blazing Music Co.
Matt Blaze
Music and Record producer
(555) 674-2478 MBlazemusic@yahoo.com
I looked up at the man and back down at the card, “I’ll have to think about it, but…. Be expecting a call.” I smiled and gave one back nodding he walked away.

*Flash forward more*
“Rachel Joans, you called.” Matt greeted me as I walked into his office. I smiled and sat down. “

“So do we have a deal?” Matt asked after I read the contract.
I gave him a skeptically look to which his smug smile dropped.
I smiled now, “We do.” I signed the paper agreeing to all the terms.
I walked out of his office with a smile on my face.
*Flash forward even more*
“Jason!” I screamed. He came up to me fear mixed with worry filling his eyes.
“Explain!” I screamed as I threw his phone at him. Being the stupid baseball player he is caught it with ease to see it opened up to the texts with some girl. Brittany. I can’t believe he cheated on me, and not even once, but multiple times. Every away game he had that I didn’t go to he would spend with her.
“Rach I can explain.” He said. Putting his phone is his pocket. I was crying and mad and no not mad. I was pissed.
“Go ahead. Tell me all about how you lied to me and cheated. Explain that!”
“It’s not-“
“What it looks like?!? Well it looks like you a total jerk! And to be honest that’s exactly what it is too.” As I yelled I never thought he would slap me. I gasped at the sting but then again I have been through worse. I punched square in the jaw, twice as hard as he hit me. Then I stomped out of the house running to Bailey and Caylee’s house.
*End of Dream*
As I woke up I looked around, I saw Mikey and I knew I was safe. I snuggled into his chest but soon realized how hungry I was. I slowly got out of bed being careful not to wake him and tiptoed into the kitchen. I went into the fridge, grabbed the milk and then went into the pantry and grabbed the cereal. As I reached up to grab a bowl, two cold but strong hands slowly wrapped around my waist.
“Hi.” I heard Luke’s voice. I turned my head to see that he was going to kiss my cheek but it hit my lips instead. Shocked I pulled away but not before seeing him frown as I did. I frowned as well, what have happened if I didn’t pull away. Would he have? Or would we have continued? Thoughts ran through my mind but then I looked up at his eyes and saw the sadness and hurt. I reached up and planted a kiss on his cheek, I could then see a little bit of happiness return to his eyes and a smile play on his lips. I smiled as well, he still had his arms around my waist, which he tightened and buried his head in the crook of my neck.
“Can we go out to breakfast?” He asked. I smiled and thought it over.
“Where to?” I asked. I could feel his grin on my neck and it tickled so I giggled a bit. He kissed it and then ran back into his room. He came back out looking like the bad boy rocker, when really he is the goofy 4 year old who still believes in Santa Clause. I smile at him and go to change from my pajama shorts and tank top to something else.
I got changed into this. “Ready?” I asked Luke who was sitting on the couch.
“Yup!” He jumped up. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. “Love your jacket by the way.” He winked and I rolled my eyes.
Boys,
Lukey and I have gone out to breakfast, there is cereal and milk for the rest of you. Do not burn down the apartment or leave. We will be back by 11. Have fun and be safe.
Love,
Rach
I kissed the paper leaving a red lip outline. I then stuck the note to the refrigerator. I linked my hand with Luke’s and left the house. We walked for a while, not caring that there was a pap right behind us, we have become used to them by now. We finally reached the Denny’s we were looking for and sat down. Luke didn’t even look at the menu already knowing he was going to get that pancake with the smiley face on it. I smiled at him and he smiled back, “What?” He asked.
“Nothing.” I said but I couldn’t stop smiling. He didn’t stop either. We just sat there smiling at each other.
“Can I get you guys something to drink?” The waitress asked us snapping us out of our thoughts.
She was probably in her 50’s, very sweet looking. I smiled up at her, “Chocolate milk please.” Luke ordered and I rolled my eyes at his childness. She nodded her head and smiled, she then looked yp from her notepad at me.
“Just a water, thank you.” I smiled and she returned it.
“Be right back with those.” She said leaving. I looked at Luke.
“Could you be any more childish?” I asked. He thought about it a minute.
“Probably.” He seemed deep in thought which caused me to laugh at him. He smiled and the waitress came back, we ordered our food and finished up there.
We are now walking through the park in our neighborhood. We were holding hands and walking down the path. It was a little chilly but not quite cold. Luke being Luke scared the crap out of me and picked me up. I let out a little shriek but calmed down. He started running down the path and then went into the grass. He started spinning us around and I was laughing hysterically. He then laid down, I was laying on top of him. We were both laughing, I didn’t even realize how close our faces were. We both noticed it and calmed down. He leaned in and so did I but right before our lips touched the click of a camera sounded. Crap.
