~Blair~

I sigh fluttering my eyes open. My face felt all sticky and damp since I was crying last night. I felt really hurt the way Luke blanked me out. I roll over hoping to cuddle into Luke's chest but no. The space beside me was empty and cold. His side was still neatly made and hasn't been slept in. I frown. Where is that breadstick?

I climb out of bed, shoving my hair into a messy bun and walk downstairs and see Ashton sitting at the bar on his phone. "Morning Ash." I say catching his attention. "Well hello there sleeping beauty." Ashton smiles and pats the stool beside him. I sit down and he turn to face me. "Where do you run off to last night. Calum and I were so worried." He said with concern written all over his face. Wait Calum was worried but Luke wasn't? "Didn't Jazmine tell you?" I ask and he shakes his head. "I left last night because I wasn't feeling to good." I say. "Oh but you're feeling better now right?" He asks and I nod with a small smile.

"Do you know where Luke is?" I question. "Why is he not in bed?" Ashton looked just as confused as I was. I shake my head and Ashton sighs. "Last night we all went out for drinks after the show. Luke disappeared and then Jazmine disappeared around the same time.

My hear drops. No! Luke wouldn't do that would he? Luke wouldn't cheat on me with Jazimine or any other girl for that matter. Maybe it's just some misunderstanding.

"Oh" I say looking down. "I know what you're thinking but there's probably some reasonable explanation." Ashton says squeezing my hand. "I know but what if he did cheat." I say looking down at Ashton's hand lacing his fingers with mine. Not in a relationship kind of way but in a supportive way.

Just thinking about it made me tear up and my lips started to tremble. "Hey hey no babe don't cry please." Ashton says jumping out of the stool and embracing me tightly into a hug. "I'm sure everything will be ok. And listen if Luke ever did such a thing like that we'll be on your side ok?" He said kissing my head reassuringly.

"Yeah" I jumped when I heard two voices behind me. I turned around. It was Calum and Michael. Calum came up and spun me around so I was facing him. "Blair listen to me. You are an amazing girl! Luke would be stupid enough to cheat on you. Having you as a girlfriend was the best experience I've ever had and Luke's just missing out on the perfection that's right in front of him." He said not breaking eye contact with me.

"Yeah and if he cheats I'll happily chop his balls off, tie him up and force him to eat it." Michael smiled causing us all to burst out laughing. "Nobody messes with our Blair-Bear." Calum says pulling me into his chest. "Awe." I heard Ashton and Michael say causing us both to giggle. "GROUP HUG" before I could even respond I felt a couple of arms wrap around me and snuggling their heads into my neck

Our moment was interrupted when the door closed and heard a girly giggle. "OMG LUKE YOU'RE SO FUNNY" I heard a girl squeal. The boys pull away and look at me. I gulp looking down at my feet, looking back up when Luke and Jazmine walk into the room. "Okay........ Why is everyone looking at us like that?" He asks.

"No reason." Calum shrugs and sits on the stool beside me. Jazmine and Luke sit down beside each other whispering things into each other's ears. I could feel Calum staring at Luke. "Where did you go mate we were all worried." Michael says patting Luke's back causing him to wince. "You alright?" He asks. "Yeah just have a sore back that's all." Luke says smirking at Jazmine, who giggles and places her hand on his thigh which is VERY near his crotch area. Michaels jaw drops and looks at me and Ashton nearly chocked on his water.

Luke stands up and walks up stairs. This is a prefect chance to talk to him. "Luke" I call stepping into the room. "Yes babes?" He smiles fixing his hair while looking in the mirror. "Where were you last night?" I question. "I stayed at Jazmines apartment. I thought it was too late to come back here." He said.

"Um Luke you know you could of called me instead of worrying me." I say. "I didn't think it would bother you." He replies cooly. "Bother me? Of course it's gonna bother me Luke I've been worried about you and -Wait where are you going?" I question as he walks out the room. "I'm going out with Jazmine." He smiles. "I'll talk to you later." He pecks my lips before walking down stairs. I let out a long sigh and look down at my feet.

"Hey" a voice called from the doorway. I look up and see Michael leaning against the door. I smile weakly and he rushes over and embraces me into a friendly hug. "Where did Luke go?" He asks. "He left to hang out with Jazmine." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"We're doing something today. Me, you and the other lads ok." He lets go of me and smiles. "We're going bowling so get ready and let's go!" I laugh and we both run downstairs.

"This is so cool" I say as we step inside the bowling alley. "Oh fuck off" I hear Calum groan. "What?" I ask following his eyes and see a scene that I didn't want to see. Luke and Jazmine. I see Jazmine turn around and looks me before whispering something into Luke's ear. The color drains from his face and steals a quick glance before continuing to bowl. Why is he acting like this? Is he not happy to see his girlfriend?

"Well I'm going down to the alley as far away from them as possible." Ashton says walking down to the alley. The boys start their turns and I turn my head when I heard voices. "Oh there's no more alleys left guys." I turn and see a couple of guys standing near the entrance. "There's a free alley beside ours" I say smiling kindly at them. "Oh thanks" one of the boys smile patting my shoulder. They walk over to their ally but I feel a presence sit beside me.

"I'm Tom" he smiles shaking my hand. "I'm Blair" I reply. "You look sad. Are you alright?" He asks. "Hmm yeah just boy troubles." He gives me a sympathetic smile. "Well maybe we can talk about it sometime. Here's my number so call me maybe?" We both laugh at his song reference before he leaves and walks over to his alley.

"Who was that?" Calum asks. "Just some guy don't panic." I smile. I turn and see Tom smiling at me then makes a funny face causing me to laugh. Suddenly I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach when he looked at me. No Blair you shouldn't be getting butterflies! You have a boyfriend. But your boyfriend is over there with another girl so I should just forget about those butterflies.

Right? Besides like Luke would care. I turned around to see Jazmine sitting on Luke's lap while she twirled her hair with her fingers. I'm sighed sadly and got up to take bowl.

But what Blair didn't know was that Luke was starting right back at her.

[A//N: I feel like I'm rushing this story but I really wanna finish it and continue with the other ones :)]
