Chapter 18

"That was insane Greensboro!!" Calum shouted to the crowd, theyve just finished their 6 songs setlist.

"Thank you for coming out! and happy state fair!" Ashton ended as the four boys bowed down. The crowd clap their hands as the boys went down the stage.

Since they were the last act, the crowd slowly leave the arena. Some 5sos fans, waited outside the arena to take chances on taking pictures with the boys. Lauren and Taylor was one of them. Lauren cant fathom to see how she was now here with these people fangirling over a boyband, but it was Luke, so she didnt mind at all.

"Lauren! this is how famous my guy is. can you see?" Taylor shouted to Lauren for her able to hear among the sea of people.

"I can see that" Lauren replied but Taylor didnt hear it since the crowd became hyped when the four boys was spotted. They were all wearing shades, and Lauren can see that Luke put his hair up again due to excessive sweat from their performance.

"Luke! Luke" Taylor and Lauren shouted, but their pretty sure that the boys cant hear them. They sure have a pretty tough crowd in here. Lauren tried to think another way to be more unique so that Luke would recognize her among these people. The boys were now signing posters, tshirts and many other things.

"HALOOO" Lauren said shouting in her own version of saying Hello. Taylor look at her like she is a weirdo. But Lauren succeeded cause she can see Luke roaming his stares around.

"Right here babe!" Lauren shouted once again. And finally Luke find her gaze. Luke stopped signing whatever he has in his hands and started to make way through the crowd. Eric was alarmed seeing what Luke is doing, so he sent one of his biggest bodyguards to keep the boys in and Luke out of trouble. Luke was hardly making his way to the thick crowd but he succeeded when he popped his head up it was Lauren in front of me. Taylor, starstrucked, was out of words. So she just looked between her sister and Luke that was now staring at each other intensely.

"Hi" Luke said smiling while he removes his sunglasses.

"Hi" Lauren replied smiling, they were looking at each other like they are the only people in the place, they didnt even bother thinking of other people around then. Luke was just about to respond when Eric's biggest piece caught him and pulled him away.

"What the.. hey" Luke said struggling out of his hands.

"Eric told you cant be in that deep on the crowd"

"Okay okay i wont. let go of me" Luke said, the man believing Luke's words let him go, but Luke grabbed the opportunity and ran into Lauren that was still in the same position.

"Hey Miss, i forgot something" Luke shouted while running towards Lauren. The girl looked puzzled waiting for Luke's next words, but she was surprised when somebody grabbed her head, and pulled her in for a kiss.

She was kissed by a guy, in the middle of the crowd. When she opened her eyes, the guy happened to be Luke. She touched her lips as she recalled the sudden reunion of the familiar lips of the guy infront of her. Without another word, Luke was again pulled away from the crowd. This time he was brought like how a man bring a sack.

Lauren was aware of all the stares, she managed to grasp Taylor's wrist and took her away from the crowd. Good thing she was wearing her beanie and glasses, if pictures were taken it wouldnt be known as her.

"Okay what was that Lauren?"

"I didn't know your idol was a perv!" Lauren said laughing, sad that her sister had to see that. Taylor just rolled her eyes and tries to find their parents but they are met half-way.

"Luke what the fuck are you thinking? You really can't stop getting into trouble ha?" Carl said. He was now scolding the youngest band member.

"I'm sorry I don't know" Luke said, he had his head bow down. Carl just shook his head and left the room, leaving with 2 bodyguards at the entrance. Silence fell between the band members. Luke can't sit properly knowing that Lauren is just steps away from him. He badly wants to fix what happened to them last time. He don't want another phonecall when she's just literally
outside this room. Luke was contemplating on whether to ask help from his band members or not. But fuck it, he is so desperate to see Lauren again.
