What We Could Be // cake

Chapter 59

Luke's POV.

I stuff the earpiece into my ear and get excited as I hear fans screaming. I am given my guitar and look around. Ashton ties a bandana around his head and Michael adjusts his guitar. I look at Calum to see him talking to some worker. Okay, everything's all set. Ashton soon walks on as everyone screams loudly. He plays a beat and I feel someone pat my back and wishing me luck and see Zayn with a wide smile on his face. I smile back and quickly run onstage causing the screams to get louder.

I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that most of the fans like me the best which is sad for them considering I'm gay. Or maybe it's just because I came out from backstage and everything got louder.

We soon finish and run offstage and I pat Zayn's back in return making him smile before he calmly walks onstage. I look back and feel Calum glaring at me but he quickly walks away. Hold on, does he think Zayn and I are something? Wow, Calum gets jealous quite easily doesn't he? Again, he goes to that same worker and talks to him as they walk into the distance, Michael and Ashton walk off together and I am left alone. I sigh and take my guitar off and put it to the side.

"You have a meet and greet after this?" Leo asks as I spin around and I nod.

"You're really lucky your famous." Leo says taking my guitar and putting it aside before handing me a towel as I dry my face then he leans back against the wall.

"So what's up with you and Calum?" Leo asks and rage fills my body.

"Nothing." I say through gritted teeth and toss him the towel before leaving the room to chill backstage. I sit with the rest of the boys but they all seem to be ignoring me.

I sigh and go on Twitter and post a picture of how much I enjoyed this concert. I soon get a lot of retweets. What day even is it today? July 10th. MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 6 DAYS HOLY SHIT HOW DIDNT I REALIZE. I almost spring up in excitement when I realize probably nobody will celebrate my 18th birthday. Well, the bright side is that a lot of fans probably will but.. the boys mean much more than just a bunch of fans honestly.

After an hour or two someone knocks on the door and tell us the fans will be coming in in ten minutes.

I quickly gather my thoughts and shove them to the back of my mind. Stay blank Lucas. Calum calls me that... he said he still loved me though, so I'm fine, right? I think as much as I can before pushing everything away once again and soon we hear some squealing and the door opens. A few fans - probably around 10 - come in and they have their phones up and their hands are practically glued to their mouths as they try not to scream.

A girl with long, straight and blonde hair walks up to me.

"Hi," I smile and give her a huge hug. I feel her arms wrap tightly around my waist and I try my best to bury my face in her neck. "What's your name?" I ask.

"L-Leslie." She says and I smile.

"Hey Leslie." I say and she laughs nervously, I hope she got that on camera.

She asks me to say hi to a bunch of people and soon a girl with long brown hair comes up to me.

"Hi." I smile again and hug her tightly making her sob. "Oh my god, don't cry," I chuckle and wipe her tears for her.

"I-I've wanted to meet you guys since you did that cover on youtube, teenage dirtbag I think." She says.

"That's amazing, what's your name?" I ask.

"Abigail." She barely says properly.

{A/N: pls don't hate on the name its dedicated to one of my friends, I see you right there Abby ;)}

I soon get through everyone and we finally get to go back to the bus since we're finally traveling away from Australia and getting on an actual plane! I'm so excited, I've never traveled out of Australia! We quickly shower in the hotels and pack up before actually going to the bus. It's a 3 hour ride to the airport, 12 hour ride to where we're headed and then another 12 hour ride on the bus to where we need to be.

I climb onto my my bunk and pull my legs to my chest. I need to do something, I'm really bored. I look around my bunk and see wrappers, random books, my laptop and my phone. I search around for a book I feel like, eating a random piece of candy and shoving the wrapper to the corner of my bed. I decide to clean up a little. I pick up some books and stuff them in my bag. I take my shirt off and randomly put it to the side. I put some books in my bag and I randomly look at them and one catches my eye.

It's a book with a teddy bear in front of it and it says Calum Hood in his tiny writing on the front. I open it a little to see the pages filled and filled with writing. I open the front page and it says, 'Lucas Robert Hemmings' on it. What is this? Then, on the next page it says, 'Kiss Me Kiss Me'.

Are these... song lyrics? How did this get on my bunk?

'Here's to teenage memories

Can I call, wake you up on a Sunday?

So kiss me kiss me kiss me (short pause) and tell me that I'll see you again

Close your eyes you'll be mine and its alright

School, Lucas, winky wink'

My eyes water at his choice of lyrics and his little doodles and notes. I miss him so much. When did he even write this? I'm too lazy to read the rest.

I decide to add something on it quickly, 'Never say goodbye' a curled my lips, failing to keep my year in. I look out my bunk and see all the boys in the lounge. Wow, they really did all leave me out. I toss his book back into his bunk.

Ashtons POV.

"Did you manage to get Calum's book into Luke's bunk?" I whisper over to Michael and he nods.

"I really hope this works. Calum hasn't touched that book for days actually." Michael says and I nod as we do a small fist bump.
