Chapter Five: Celebratory Dinners and Sold-Out Concerts

Every time something good happened in either Luke or Calum's lives, they would always have what they would call a "Celebratory Dinner" to talk about it all and get even more excited about what was going on with either one or perhaps even both of them at the moment. Of course, after meeting Ashton Irwin, Luke immediately told Calum that they were having another Celebratory Dinner at the restaurant across the street from the venue.

"Can you believe what just happened?" Luke asked, squealing.

"It happened. It's a thing. It happened," Calum answered, "Why would I not believe it?"

"I'm actually very shocked that you're acting so calm and chill about this whole situation," Luke said.

"Why would you be shocked? Isn't that how I act a lot of the time?" Calum asked.

"Well, we just met one of the most famous guys in the world, and you're standing in line not caring about anything. It's as if you don't want to be at this concert at all," Luke told him.

"Just because I'm not as much of a fanboy as you doesn't mean that I don't want to be here," Calum said, "Why would you say something like that?"

"All of these people are acting excited and crazy at this concert - like they should be, I mean they're seeing Ashton Irwin - and you're the one person in this crowd of people who doesn't give a crap."

"I'm not the type of person that would yell 'marry me' and grab Ashton so tightly until I was forced to let go. I actually acted calm around him. I actually asked him something about music, which is what he loves to do. So if freaking out over a band or singer is what really, truly matters to you, then find someone else who gets as excited as you. Find someone else to go to concerts with. Find someone who can replace me," Calum said.

And just like that, Luke walked up from the table.

Calum sighed. He sat at that table alone, all by himself, with nothing to do and nobody to talk to.

He was upset, yet at the same time, he wasn't. He had no idea that Luke was like this. He didn't know that Luke had this side to him - this slight angry temper that never seemed to show. Then again, Calum did get like that sometimes, but always tried his hardest to keep it to himself in his own mind rather than taking it out on somebody else. It seemed kind of ironic, but he was upset. He also felt like he shouldn't be mad at Luke and that he shouldn't regret a single word he said while Luke was still in the room. Out of the two of them, Luke was always more excited. He was always the hyper one. He was always the happy one. Calum, well, he was a bit more shy and introverted. He would act a bit different around Luke, although it did take a while for him to come out of his shell.

That didn't matter to Calum. At that very moment, all he cared about was the fact that he was alone. All he needed was someone by his side.
