Out of My Limit (5 Seconds of Summer Fan Fiction)

"Why didn't anyone tell me that Brittany used to be Luke's girlfriend?" I asked them as they all stood there next to the cars.

"How did you find out?" Michael asked with a look of worry.

"That doesn't matter? How could all of you keep this from me? How could he actually stand to be in a relationship with her?"

"About a year before you came here to live with us is when they started dating," Ashton explained, "but even before then every girl he'd get close to would be treated just like you are right now."

"Look Brittany has never been an actual girlfriend to Luke. I know it's seems cruel for him to lead her on like he did, but she just wouldn't leave him alone," Jess said trying to clear this story up.

"So now that I'm here she's going to take her anger out on all of us."

"She's gone completely psycho over this. Something needs to be done or no telling what she's going to do next," Calum said worriedly.

He's been too stressed lately, I know he's now failing math and probably other classes too. We're all stressed and worried about what she'll do next and I don't want to be the next main target; I don't want any of us to be.

I'd like to say she doesn't scare me but truthfully I'm scared as hell. How could one girl turn our lives into meaningless crap in a matter of weeks.

"Let's get back to our house then, Karen will be there soon. I have faith in my aunt, she can figure out something."

The car ride back was pretty silent. I'm getting nervous over this. especially since Luke hasn't call or texted in over four hours. We're both really close in our relationship and to have him not contact me at all is really strange.

Something isn't right about this. I sent him a message asking how the studying was going and set my phone down beside me and focused on the music coming through the speakers.

We arrived at the house and I climbed out of the car. I waited for Mikey to open the door and I ran straight for the bathroom. I don't think I'm in any shape to cook the food anymore. I'd probably just throw up again from the smell.

"Em? Are you okay?" Jess asked through the door.

"My anxiety has just gotten the best of me. I'll be fine but me cooking diner isn't an option anymore."

"I'll take care of it, I'll be right back with you some water."

A few seconds later the door creaked open. I was too tired to open my eyes again.

"Here," I heard Jess say as she sat the glass somewhere next to me, "it will all be fine Emily, instead of thinking about all that could go wrong think about what could actually go right."

Well Luke could answer my text. Which he hasn't and it's been at least fifteen minutes.

May could start going back to school here. But she won't because her grandparents are ancient and feeble minded.

Either me or 5sos could actually win the talent show and show Brittany that she doesn't always get what she wants. But no doubt she has the judges cheating already.

Brittany could go away and never come back. I could almost laugh at this scenario, I don't think she'll ever go away.

"Emily dear, are you alright in there?"

"Aunt Karen?"

"I'm here," she replied opening the door.

"Tell me what's wrong," she said as I felt he hug me as we both sat on the cold bathroom tile.

I proceeded to explain every thing that Brittany had done since I had gotten here. It even sounds silly when I say it, that I could be scared of this one girl; who in my opinion should be in an insane asylum by now.

Karen stared blankly at me. I knew she wouldn't believe me.

"Okay then. First things first I'll call her grandparents in the morning. You my angel should stop worrying about Luke, he's a smart guy Emily. I'll stop by the school in the morning also, they should know about this. I will be speaking to Brittany's parents too."

"Thank you."

Waking up I immediately felt sick again. I have to see Luke today. I have to see Brittany today. I have to go to that stupid school today. I just know something is going to go wrong. When Michael asked me if I was okay this morning I had to lie. I can't just stay home, I have to talk to Luke.

The whole ride to school I stayed quiet as the guys started debating on whether they should still sing Michael's song or not. I personally think it's an amazing song. I wish I could write songs, and I've been thinking about doing a different song myself. Like an Ellie Golding or and Echosmith song.

"So have you talked to Luke yet?" Jess asked during second block. Luke hadn't come to school today, which didn't make me feel any better.

"No and he should've been at school by now."

"Brittany isn't here either."

"Great way to make me feel better." Yep I'm going to be sick. I rushed to the bathroom with my stomach not being able to hold my breakfast any longer.

"Em I'm sure he's okay. Plus, you've been here long enough to know that Brittany is always at school."

I splashed some water on my face trying to make sense of everything. I just can't, he could have contacted one of us. Brittany surly wouldn't do anything too bad.

"I have to go."

"Em, you can't just leave school," Jess protested catching be by the wrist.

"I'm not, I'm only going to call Luke. I'll just be in the court yard. You just go on ahead to lunch."

"Okay, just don't do anything drastic."

She let go and turned to jog towards the cafeteria. I lied. I actually was thinking about leaving. I have to admit that is a bit drastic, he's just probably sick.

"Oh pick up," I mumbled to myself as his phone went to voice mail.

"Are you okay?" Startled, I looked up surprised to see Amira standing by the door.

"Yeah. Luke's just not answering the phone."

"Oh I could have swore I just saw him going to the canteen."

"Oh, okay. I guess I'll go check, thanks Amira."

"It's no problem, I'm just glad you're okay. I mean, Brittany has been unbearable. Also don't go to your locker."

"She's been tormenting you too?"

"There were so many water balloons in my locker, I had to go home and change."

"I'm sorr- wait, is she here today?"

"Yeah she's having to do her class work in the office since I had I opened my locker this morning before going to first."

"Okay well, I better get going."

"Yeah it was nice you, I'm glad you're okay."

"One day we won't have to worry about her."

"Not anytime soon."

"Maybe, see you later," I hope Karen is taking care of thing in the office right now.

I walked back to the cafeteria and walked over to the table. There was a whole lot of talking, but I could only feel the room spinning. I saw Luke, and although I was happy I felt sick again.
