chapter 23/ going for it

Luke's pov

i couldnt believe it when Scar said that her and Justin broke up.

i was so happy.

i tried to hide my happiness with shock.

Scar soon left after she told us and left the guys and Jillian go back to the hotel.

"wow, i cant believe they broke up. Jillian why didnt you tell us!" Ashton says getting into our van

"i didnt think it was my place to tell you guys" she says shrugging

she made a valid point

"so Luke, you look happy" Calum said wiggling his eyebrows

its true. i couldnt wipe this smile off of my face.

"no." i lie and try to stop smiling. even though i know he knows im lying

he gives me a face that says "really? your not fooling me"

ugh

"ok fine." i say rolling my eyes.

"ha! i knew it. You want her back!" Calum says getting excited jumping around happy that he was right

"ok ok. Stop. Maybe i do" i say feeling my cheeks heat up.

"get her back." Michael says pushing my shoulder

"psh. like that will happen." i say shaking my head

i mean would she?

no.

she hates me.

"you never know. you should try!" Ashton says trying to convince me

i just look at all of them and Jillian is just silent and looking at me

we look at each other for a minute then i just shake my head and look out the window

i couldnt tell if Jillian agreed with me trying again. I mean she would know more than anyone if i should.

10 minutes have gone by and no one has said anything else since the conversation about Scar.

i just look at them all and they are all on their phones but Jillian is staring out the window

i take a deep breath before speaking

"im going to do it" i say and the boys all snap their heads up and smile knowing what i was talking about instantly

but Jillian just looks at me and then shakes her head

i dont know what that means..

but either way im going to try.

Scar's pov

i have another concert tonight still in LA like my first concert.

i go to sound check at 5pm and we breeze through it

finally it is 7:00pm and i have 30 mins until i have to perform. Emblem3 is performing right now

i am in my same purple outfit as last night. I have the same order of outfits every night

i walk into my dressing room and start doing vocal warm ups waiting for it to get closer to go on

15 minutes later im by my dancers and we all are just getting hype and im not as nervous as i was last night

i hear Emblem 3 say good night and i walk over to the raising platform and get in i adjust my headset and take a deep breath.

i reach the stage and squint because of the bright lights but that doesnt stop me from smiling
