Wanted

Peace

Courtney

I wake up on the bus and smile. The boys are touring again. I started singing again and Luke is happier. I am too. We are on our way to Ontario, Canada, my home town. I wanted to surprise Shawn. Management said I could add the show and fans were excited. I climb off my bunk and Ashton smiles.

"Morning," he says and I smile.

"Morning," I say quietly.

He smiles and I get some breakfast. Luke walks back onto the bus and looks at me.

"hey sleepy head," he says and I giggle.

"She replied to me this morning," Ash whispers a little too loud.

"Yeah, I did," I say quietly and Luke looks at me.

"Your talking again," he asks.

I nod and he smiles.

"Well I have a question to ask you when the boys are fully awake," Luke says and takes a bite of my breakfast.

"No," I say as Cal climbs out of his bunk.

Cal looks then smiles.

"Its good to hear your voice again Court," he say and I nod.

Mike finally gets up and I finish my breakfast. I sit in the lounge area and drink my tea.  I let the boys talks and enjoy breakfast. I start watching the telle and don't notice the boys come in.

"So now that everyone is up, time for the question," Luke says nervously.

I nod in response and he takes my hands in his.

"Well I want to get this off my chest. When I started bulling you, that's when I realized I liked you. Then when you got hurt, I blamed myself. When you started going mute, I knew that was circled around me. Anyways, will you go out with me," Luke rambles nervously.

"Yes," I say and he smiles.

We hug and arrive at the arena. Luke smiles and carries me off the bus. We have a preshow meet-n-greet. Luke called Shawn to come so he gets in for free. I see the Magcon group and I smile. The get let into the area and they group hug me.

"Hey Shawn," I say hugging him and he looks at me surprised.

"Your..... Your talking again," he asks.

"A little at a time," Ash says and I nod.

Shawn hugs me then lets us finish with the quick meet-n-greet. After we finish, we get ready to go on stage. I start to get nervous and Luke sees. He walks over and hugs me.

"You'll be great. I'll be right over here. I promise," he says to me and I nod.

We are called out and we run on stage. I sing and the boys keep the energy up.

"So, a lot of people are wondering if Courtney is still mute aside from singing. Well.....," Ash says.

"I'm not anymore," I say and fans erupt into cheers.

I laugh and we finish the show. I walk off stage and see Luke smiling. I walk over to him and he smiles more.

"Wanna ditch," he asks.

"We have a meet-n-greet. Come on," I say and pull him into the area.

He sits on the couch and fans walk in.

"Can we get a picture the includes Luke and not the girl," one says.

"Ye-yeah. Sure," I stutter. Luke walks over and I sit on the couch.

More and more people don't want me in the pictures.

"I'll be in my dressing room," I whisper to Ash and he hugs me.

"No. don't give them the satisfaction," he whispers back.

I pull out of his hug and walk away.

Luke

I knew taking that picture would do this.

"I'm going to check on her," I say and Ash nods.

I walk into her dressing room and see her on  the couch.

"You okay," I ask and she nods. "Talk to me please," I ask and she shakes her head no. I sigh and hug her. She rests her head on my shoulder and I sigh again. "Come on," I say and she shakes her head. "They will take pictures with you whether they like it or not," I say and we walk back to the area.

Ash hugs Courtney and I smile.

"Next," the security guard says.

I stand next to Courtney and grab her hand.

"Can you move," the fan asks me.

I look at him and shake my head. Courtney looks. I move to the other side of her. We take the picture and the fans thanks us. We soon finish and Courtney hugs my arm as the last group leaves. We walk out to the bus and get on. Courtney sits on the couch and I go on twitter. I see the pictures and sigh. One picture catches me off guard.
