"Grace?"

Someone is tapping me on the shoulder. I roll over and open my eyes. A tired Izzy is looking down at me. "Hey." I croak, and manage, just about, to sit up. "What time is it?" I ask, and when she doesn't answer I reach to unplug my phone. I stare down at the screen to see a lot of notifications, as well as the time 11am. I open up twitter and over 10,000 people have followed me over night. "Oh my!" I say, and look up at Izzy who is getting dressed. "What?" She asks, buttoning her shirt up and giving me a confused look. "10,000 people have followed me overnight. It must be all the publicity from hanging out with Luke." She laughs. "Wow, that is a lot of people. I mean, they are like twice as famous as us..." I scroll through my notifications, and see that Luke has posted a tweet saying:

Had a great night with @GraceSaunders and the rest of the gang xx

I click favourite and follow him because I don't actually follow any of 5sos. I then go ahead and follow Calum, Ashton and Michael- as well as the band twitter account. I write:

Same :) @Luke5sos

I close my phone, as I can't be bothered to check any of my other social medias or answer any texts, and turn to Izzy. "Is anyone else awake yet?" I ask, as Izzy takes out her foundation brush. "Don't think so, I haven't heard anyone." I sigh, and get out of bed. 

I push the sofa bed back in, fold up the covers and pile the pillows on top. I then get dressed into the clothes that I was wearing yesterday: a pair of distressed boyfriend jeans, a baggy, oversized plaid shirt and my black DMs. I pack the rest of my stuff into my backpack and guitar case, and lean them against the front door.

"Iz, should I go wake up Alex?" I ask walking back into the living room. "Probably, I need to get back to do some revision for my history exam." I nod, and walk upstairs. It's quiet upstairs and I can hear a quiet snoring from one of the room. I go to the first bedroom and peer in: Ashton is asleep with the covers pushed right to the end of his bed, and Calum in the other. I slowly close the door, trying not to wake anyone, and walk across the hall to the second room. Luke is in his bed still asleep. His blonde hair is spread across the pillow, he's topless and his head is hanging off the edge. He is smiling in his sleep, and I have to resist the urge to slip into bed with him and run my hand down his toned muscles. Instead, I walk over to Alex who's curled up in a tight ball. He looks exactly the same as he did when he was seven and used to have sleepovers with me and Izzy; I reach down and tickle him in the ear. "Get off!" He groans, and lifts the covers higher over his head. I laugh, and pull the covers off of the bed. He opens his eyes, sits up and stretches his arms. "Morning, why we up so early?" I sit down on the end of the bed, and smile at him. "Alex it's 11:30am?" He looks surprised. "Wow, I feel like i've had no sleep." I laugh, and walk over to Luke. "Go and get ready, Iz has to get home soon." He groans one last time, and then finally walks into the bathroom.

"Luke?" Nothing. He continues to snore quietly, and I reach down and run my hand along his arm. He shivers, and opens his pale, yet piercing ,blue eyes. The bags under his eyes are black and purple, and I can't help wonder how it must be living so far away from his family. No one to look after him other than they boys and all their managers. I stare down at him, and he smiles. "Hey." He says.

"Hey." I reply. "Izzy has to go home, so we're gonna have to head off soon." His smile disappears, and he pulls me towards him to lie down next to him. His arms rap around my waist as my head hits the pillow, and I can feel his breath in my ear. "Why'd you have to go?" He asks, sighing sleepily into me. "Unlike some boys, we have A-levels to study for. It's actually kinda hard, balancing music and studying. It's extremely stressful sometimes." I roll back around to face him, and run my hand through his hair. "I bet. Oh well, i'm sure we can do this again. We're not touring until summer." I smile at him, and stop myself from correcting him in that summer is only two months away. "Yeah. I had loads of fun and so did Alex and Izzy." I release his hair, and clamber over him. He squeals as I accidentally knee him in the stomach, but I finally manage to get off of the bed. "See you later then?" He sits up and pushes the covers of him. "Wait! I didn't get your number. Also, musically wise, I think Ashton and Calum have been trying to plan something so keep an eye out for that." He smirks, knowing something that I don't, and I roll my eyes. "Will do. Here's my phone." I hand him my phone, and he adds his contact. "Bye Luke." I say, smile and walk out of the room. "Bye..." I hear him whisper when i'm in the hallway and I smile to myself as I walk down the stairs.
