Brothers Bandmate

25

-Brianna's POV-

        Things with Drew were going great, but things with Luke...not so great.  He was constantly telling me about how bad Drew is, how I shouldn't be dating him, and "warning" me.  It's annoying and I have no idea why he continues doing it when I already told him that I won't break up with Drew.

        It was Friday now and the guys were getting ready for yet another gig at the same club they played at before.  Of course I was going, and I was finally able to convince Ally and Sophie to come as well.  Sophie was more than happy to go, Ally on the other hand took a little more convincing.  She agreed though, saying it could be fun.  I was also able to convince Drew to go as well, he was meeting us there.
        
        I moved my hair to put on my necklace, finishing getting ready to go.  I turned around at the sound of a knock on my door.  I expected it to be Sophie and Ally, but was met with Luke instead.  I rolled my eyes and turned back around, continuing to try and put my necklace on.

        "Nice to see you to," Luke said sarcastically, walking in.

        "I'm busy, Luke," I told him, struggling.

        Luke chuckled.  "You could've just asked for help," he walked to me.  I could feel his finger touch mine, giving me this weird tingle.  He took the necklace from me and clipped it.

        I looked down, fixing my hair now.  "I was honestly afraid you were going to choke me," I joked, turning to face Luke now.

        "I debated it," he shrugged, grinning.

        I playfully rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.  "What did you come in here for?"

        "We're leaving soon, with our without your friends," he stated.  I stared at him, knowing very well that Mikey would've just yelled that.  "And...that you should be careful.  I know Drew is going to be there and..."

        "Luke, we aren't having this discussion again," I cut him off, walking over to my dresser and fixing my hair a little more.

        "I'm trying to help you, Brie."

        "Luke, we've talked about this at least ten times this week.  You're not helping, you're just being annoying.  If you want to help, then you can grab my phone that's on my bed," I said, checking myself in the mirror.  Surprisingly, Luke actually handed me my phone.  He didn't look pleased, but I took my phone from him.  "Thanks," I mumbled, looking down at my dresser.

        "Brie, I really don't trust Drew," Luke said calmly.

        I sighed, facing him again.  "I know you don't.  But it's not your concern," I replied just as calmly.  He looked down at me, about to speak until there was a knock and my door opened.  Luke and I looked over and saw Ally and Sophie walking in.

        "Hey!...Um, what's going on here?"  Ally asked awkwardly, her eyes moving from me, to Luke, and back.

        Luke coughed, stepping back.  "I was leaving," he muttered, walking out of the room.

        Sophie shut the door, a smile on her face.  "What did I tell you?" she raised an eyebrow.

        I shook my head.  "Nothing was happening.  He was just warning about Drew...again."

        "Good, because you don't want to be involved with him," Ally said.

        "He really isn't that bad," I defended.

        "He is a bad influence and he has a bad rep," Ally pointed out.  I wasn't able to deny that, because Luke may not be a bad guy, but he did stupid things.

        "You guys would be a cute couple though," Sophie added, making me glare at her.  She just shrugged, not regretting a word she said.

        I shook my head.  "Let's go downstairs, Luke said that they were leaving and they wouldn't wait for us.  That and Drew is there waiting," I explained, leading the way out.


        Once we got there, we separated from the guys so they could get ready and I could find Drew.  I smiled once I found him, giving him a quick kiss.

        "About time you got here!" Drew exclaimed, smiling at me.

        "How long have you been here?" I asked.

        "Five minutes, but it was way too long," he replied, kissing my forehead.
        
        "Okay, so should we just go or..." Sophie trailed off.

        "Sorry, I'll go grab us a table," Drew apologized, kissing me once again before leaving.

        I turned back to my friends, giving an apologetic smile.  "Sorry.  He doesn't hide his affection."

        "Hey, better him than Luke!" Ally shrugged, giving me this bad feeling in my stomach.  I'm not sure why though because Drew is a lot better than Luke.  He actually likes me, and that's enough said.

        "I think Luke wouldn't treat you that way, but he would treat you good in his own way.  Something is off about Drew," Sophie said, making me wonder why she supported Luke so much.

        "There's nothing off about Drew, why do you and Luke think that?  It's all I've heard from Luke all week, and now you?" I crossed my arms.

        "Luke is right, why would Drew get back with you a few days later when he's the one that broke up with you?"

        "That doesn't matter!"

        "Guys, I know I'm not usually the one to say it but you guys need to stop arguing.  If Brianna is happy, that's all that matter," Ally cut us both off and was for once on my side.

        I sighed, looking at my shoes.  I could feel Sophie looking away as well.  "I'm just going to get a drink," she said.

        "Sophie!" Ally scolded, surprised.  I raised my eyebrows at her as well.

        "Not an alcoholic one!" she added before walking away.


        We ended up going to a table that Drew found for us, which was unfortunately right next to Brook and Claire's table.  They were way too enthusiastic for the guys, and I swear Brook kept looking over at our table.

        The band played well though, and I'm pretty sure Ally actually liked them!  I know I'm a fan, and I'm pretty sure Ally and Sophie are becoming fans as well which made me happy.

        "I'm gonna go to the bathroom, but don't leave without saying goodbye to me first," Drew said after the show.  I just nodded as he kissed me on the cheek and walked away.

        Brook and Claire took the chance to approach us three.  "So, I see you brought your little friends this time," Brook spoke to me.

        "Yeah, I did," I replied simply.

        "Do they all of have little crushes on the band too?" Claire said in a baby-voice, followed by her and Brook laughing.  I just shook my head, not looking for a fight.

        "They aren't our type, we don't do the whole one night stand thing like you two," Ally snapped, making me chuckle.

        "I'll have you know that Luke and I have spent multiple nights together," Brook bragged, though I'm not sure why you would about something like that.

        "Congratulations!  I have a list of awards for you in my head, but I'm a good girl and can't say them aloud," Ally smiled sarcastically before dropping it.  She may bump heads with me a lot, but part of that reason was of how incredibly witty and sassy she is.

        Brook and Claire just glared at her, and right when they were about to say something, Sophie stepped in.  "We have to go now, because the guys are packing up and are or ride home."  Another reason I loved Sophie?  She was sassy in a subtle way.

        I smiled as the three of us casually walked away.  My friends were great to have in these situations, and I felt proud to have them with me.  I'm pretty sure I'm inviting them next gig.


        When we reached the guys, they were just about done.  Sophie walked over and started talking to Mikey, and I couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious of the two of them.  Ally on the other hand was calling her parents to tell them the show ended, just like she promised them.

        "So where's your little boyfriend?" Luke asked me.

        "He's in the bathroom," I answered, letting him know that he didn't just run off.

        "Well maybe tonight could be the night that you do what's right and break it off," Luke suggested.

        "Or maybe tonight could be the night that I do what's right and break your neck," I snapped, giving him a fake smile and crossing my arms.

        "I'm telling you, Brie, something is not right!  A guy doesn't just break up with a girl and get back together with her a few days later!  He's up to something, and it's going to hurt you in the end!" Luke raised his voice.

        "The only thing that could possibly hurt me is you!  You're mean, rude, annoying, and for some reason won't let this go!" I yelled, but noticing Luke wasn't even looking at me.  "Now you're not even listening to me?" I exclaimed, gaining Luke's attention.

        "You want to know why I won't let this go?" Luke asked.

        "Yes, please enlighten me!"  I replied.  Luke grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me around.  My face instantly fell at the sight of my boyfriend sucking faces with Brook in the corner.  I slowly turned back around to face Luke, not wanting to see it anymore.  I looked up at Luke, sadness in my eyes and speechless.

        "That's why," he said softly, giving me a sympathetic look.  "Brie..." I shook my head and hurried out of the club before anyone could see me cry.  I didn't need sympathy, especially from Luke.  My house isn't too far away, so I walked.
