Hopeless

Chapter 29

Luke's POV

"Good night, Paris!" I heard Phoenix say, closing out her portion of the concert. I knew that there was a 15 minute intermission to allow us as a band to make sure everything was set and ready for us, so all we would have to do is run on stage, pick up our instruments, and perform.

"Congratulations, Phoenix," I heard Calum, Michael, and Ashton say as she came backstage, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Congrats," I said to her as she whizzed by me, water bottle in hand as she flew to her dressing room.

"PAAAAAAAYRIIIIIIN!!" I heard her call as she ran down the hall, probably toward her stylist.

"You ready guys?" Mikey asked all of us. Ashton looked super excited, like he'd had too many Monsters or something. I put my face into a mask of happiness and excitement. I mean, I was the leader, and if I didn't set the mood, everyone would pick up on it. Calum looked longingly at the place where we had all last seen Phoenix.

"Uh, Cal? Earth to Cal? Anyone in there?" I waved my hand in front of his face.

"What? Huh?" he asked.

"You ready?" Mike repeated again.

"Yeah. Totally," he repeated.

"Cal?" Ash asked.

"Yeah?" he replied, still looking off to that hallway.

"Why are you staring after Phoenix?" I asked, all weirded out.

"Well, you know her stylist?" he asked, now looking all dreamy and lovestruck.

"Payrin? Yeah, what about her?" I said, growing impatient.

"She and I are dating!" Calum had this triumphant look on his face.

"Congrats, mate!" we clapped for him. He truly deserved to be happy.

I saw the lights on the stage go up, and I knew that was our cue to run on stage with excitement to greet our fans.

Phoenix's POV

"PAAAAAAAYRIIIIIIIN!" I yelled as I ran off the stage and toward my dressing room. Something had happened, and I was thinking it might have been a costume malfunction, but it happened during like the beginning of my show, so I couldn't do anything until after the show.

"What's wrong, Phoenix? I got to watch your show, and it was really good," Payrin answered, gesturing to the little tv that was in my dressing room.

"Something's wrong, but I don't know. I think it might be a malfunction, like something ripped," I answered in a panic, my heart beating out of its chest. This was my first tour abroad, and I wanted it to be absolutely perfect.

"Well," Payrin started out as she looked at the clothes while they were still on me. "Everything looks fine to me. Could it be something else?" she said.

I heard 5SOS ending their portion of the concert, and as I felt my stomach growl, I thought it might be a good idea to go find a vending machine and get something to eat. Also, I felt stuffy in the room, so some fresh air would do me some good.

"Hey, Payrin, I'll be back. If you need me for anything, don't hesitate to text me," I called out as I left the room.

****************

I found the vending machine, after twenty minutes of following signs to find it. After dispensing the money, I pulled out a bag of Fritos and a Diet Dr. Pepper. There was no bench nearby, so I stood next to the vending machine, eating Fritos and drinking Diet Dr. Pepper.

Luke's POV

"I'm going to get some fresh air!" I called out as I walked out of the dressing room. I walked behind the stage, listening to One Direction rock out, and then I got a little bored, so I started wandering down this hallway, and I began to think about Phoenix and all the good memories we used to have and how much I wanted to taste her plump lips on mine.

As I turned the corner, I saw her, eating Fritos and drinking some sort of cola-like beverage. She just looked so beautiful, and I couldn't help myself. I approached her, right as she threw the empty bag away, and pinned her to the way, kissing her on the lips, right then and there.

*****************

Phoenix's POV

As I was throwing my bag away, I felt someone pin me to the wall and kiss me on the lips. My eyes widened when I saw that it was Luke.

What was going on? This was so unexpected! What was I do to?

"Kiss me back, babe. You know you want to," he growled at me.

Because of the close proximity, I was able to feel his hardness against my thigh, much to my chagrin. I didn't want to feel that, especially not from my ex-boyfriend.

I was able to shove him off my face to give me a couple inches to speak.

"Luke, what are you doing? I have a boyfriend, and what if he finds us?" I asked, already starting to panic a little bit.

"Relax, no one will find us. Besides, your boyfriend is on stage, and he won't be done for a while. And what he doesn't know won't hurt him," he said seductively.

I will admit, I liked his sexy voice, and that lip piercing felt cold on my lips where he kissed me, but his kisses were rough from start to finish, whereas Niall's kisses were soft and sweet, until we both got into it, but then our kisses were still full of passion. Luke's kisses were just rough, like he was wrestling my lips almost.

"Kiss me, or you will regret it," Luke growled, pushing harder on my lips.

I realized that I had no choice but to comply. I'd seen this lad when he was mad or upset, and it wasn't pretty. I kissed him, and instantly I heard him moan.

"When did you get good?" he asked. I knew what he meant, but to me, this had no feeling, no connection, no emotional attachment whatsoever.

I heard voices, and as I tried to pull away, Luke only came with me as I was further smushed against the wall.

"Hey!" I heard an Irish accent exclaim and five pairs of feet come running to the scene.

**********************

GUESS WHO LEFT A CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, that's me.. That's who. You can only imagine what's going to happen, but I felt like leaving some feelings of indignation.

Go ahead, call Phoenix a slut. But, there is a point to why she did this. She tried... Yay! Feelings of distrust and wonderful stuff! (note the sarcasm)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE, DAVID TENNANT!!!!

Love you Hopefuls!
