Luci woke up to the coffee maker going off. She sprung up, as she never made coffee, it was just for when her friends came over. She jumped up, and face planted after tripping over something. That something was a someone, Elise. She then remembered that Jasmine, Meg, and Elise had stayed the night. She walked into the kitchen where the coffee maker was. She looked over and saw Meg on the couch looking at her phone. "Good Morning." Meg yawned sleepily. Luci smiled in reply. "Want some coffee?" Meg nodded. Luci poured a cup of coffee and brought it to Meg before grabbing her phone, and sat on the opposite side of the couch, across from Meg, then she opened up twitter.
Luci walked into her kitchen, and was about to turn off her phone when something caught her eye. She saw a picture of Luke kissing another girl. She dropped her phone in shock. Meg's head snapped up to look at Luci. Seeing Luci's expression she started to get up. "Are you okay?" Luci nodded and feigned a smile. "I'm fine." She said laughing. She looked at her phone, and saw something else. Thank God. She thought. "I was just happy because there is an Imagine Dragons concert." Luci said. Normally, she would be very excited, but there was a pain in her chest that she just didn't understand; it was becoming hard to breath. "THAT'S AWESOME!" Meg yelled, before wincing slightly. "I think Jasmine and Elise are up." Luci forced another chuckle. "I have to pee, so if you'll excuse me..." Then Luci walked out of the kitchen towards her bathroom.
When she got in the bathroom she locked the door. Luci collapsed on the floor, it was getting harder and harder to breath. Luci felt hot tears roll down her face. She reached up and wiped them away. Why am I crying? We aren't a couple. We aren't anything! THIS ISN'T FAIR! Thoughts swirled around Luci's mind. She put a hand over her mouth to mask her sobs. Then, she pulled herself up, and looking at herself in the mirror said,
"I'm better than this."
Luci turned on the faucet and rinsed her face, making sure there was no sign of her tears. She put on a brave smile. Then she walked back to where Elise, Jasmine, and Meg were. Elise was rummaging through her cabinets. She turned and saw Luci. "Finally! Where are your pans! I'm trying to make pancakes and bacon, but can I? Nooooooo." Elise huffed. "Please get her a pan, I don't want to listen to her rage anymore." Jasmine said; Luci chuckled and got Elise her pan, who smiled cheekily. "Thanks."
15 minutes later, a delicious smelling breakfast was served. The girls cleaned up, and decided they should meet up at the mall later that day, but Luci had declined saying she had to work.
——— Line Break ———
When the plane landed, Luke was exhausted, he hadn't gotten any sleep. Calum however, had snored almost the whole way there. The four boys checked into their hotel where Luke fell asleep almost immediately.
When he woke up, he dragged himself to the shower. When he stepped out, cold air hit his body, and he was feeling rejuvenated. He figured he'd get some breakfast and he'd feel golden. He made his way down to the lobby where he could get some food. As he stepped out of the elevator, he hear someone gasp. He turned and saw a girl, who was pretty, she had wavy black hair and hazel eyes. She walked up to him. "Can I have a picture please?" Luke nodded chuckling, which caused the girl to blush. The took a serious photo, one of them smiling, and a funny picture. "Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me." The girl said. "It was my pleasure." Luke replied, smiling. Then he found Michael, Ashton, and Calum. He sat down and ate, they boys joked around, and were loud, which got them annoyed glances from the older people around them.
"We have an interview today, but besides that, nothing." Ashton said. "We should go to a party!" Michael exclaimed. "Yeah, maybe there'll be some girls." Calum said wiggling his eyebrows. Luke shook his head a Calum. "Young man, that is rude and disrespectful." He reprimanded Calum, trying not to laugh at the rediculous face Ashton was making. "But yeah, we definitely should."
At 9:00 they went to the party. It had started at eight, so it was in full swing. Luke could smell the alcohol. "Don't drink too much." One of the guys warned. He wasn't sure who, it might've been him. He went straight to the bar, and downed three shots. He could feel a slight buzz, so he went out to the dance floor. A girl in a tight red dress (more like shirt) came up, and started grinding on him. He put his hands on her waist, and they danced. Luke danced all night, and when he felt tired, he'd take another shot. Towards the end of the night, he was ready to pass out. He walked upstairs to find a room. He didn't notice anyone following him until he was pulled into a room. He looked around. There was a queen sized bed with a side table. The side table had a lamp that was emitting a soft glow. Someone tapped his shoulder, and he spun around.
Standing there was a girl with brown hair. "Luci?" Luke asked hoping it was her. The girl shook her head. "Not Luci." Then he felt her lips against his. He was dimly aware of a light flashing. He pushed the girl off him. "I like someone else." Then he stumbled out of the room into Ashton. ""Whoa, mate. You okay?" "No he's completely wasted." Someone else said. "We need to go back to the hotel room." Someone, maybe Michael? sighed. Then everything went black.
Luke woke up with a pounding headache. He groaned. Luke tried to fall back asleep, but the pain in his head was too much. He got up and stumbled to his bag. He gulped down two Advil's, before stumbling back to his bed. He recounted what happened last night. He remembered the girl, he supposed the flash was someone taking a picture. That was going to be all over the internet. Luci. What would she think? Luke started to feel sick. He felt guilty. He sighed. I have to get over her. She doesn't share my feelings, she never will.
