"Just so you know, I'm still in school so I might not be able to stay the whole tour..." I told Luke, thinking how hard it's going to be to fly back home and leave Luke for months. I don't know why I'm saying this considering I just met the guy, but I've been obsessed over him for years, so it still counts, right?
"August? Or September?"
"Late August."
I didn't want to go back to school, but I was graduating in May, and all I really wanted was to go to college. I've been trying my hardest to do all honors and AP classes to get Valedictorian. I know there are many smarter people than me, but it's worth a shot.
"I'll get you home in time, I'll visit you on every break." He smiles at me, holding onto my hand with reassurance.
"Where are we heading next?" I question, looking out of the window that I was sitting next to.
"Massachusetts."
I nodded, not really knowing what to expect. I had never been to Massachusetts in my life or have ever had a friend or family member even from there let alone live there.
"Listen, I'm sorry for the boys for acting like hormonal 14-year-old boys. They're actually cool people, I swear." Luke laughed a little bit and so did I.
"I'm not used to people looking at me like that. It's okay, I don't really pay attention to when they look at me anyway." I shrug, and it's true. I love the band as a whole, but the only person I want looking at me that way is Luke.
Arriving in Massachusetts took longer than I thought it would. The towns were beautiful full of greens. I liked cities and towns that cared about what was around them and embraced it and took care of it.
It was interesting seeing the stage being set up. People ran and yelled out orders across the arena due to the lack of time. I didn't realize how much hard work was put into concerts. Maybe that's why they cost so much.
Before the Show // Backstage
"You're going to do great like always!" I reassure Luke who's nervous about going on stage. I wish he could really see how great he sings and how many girls have gotten pregnant because of him. If you've never gotten pregnant just from hearing Luke's voice or seeing him, you're lying.
"I've been doing this for so long but yet I still get so nervous about going out onto stage. What if I mess up a lyric? Or what if I'm off key?" Luke babbles, running a large hand through his blonde, quiffed hair.
"Luke! You're the most talented guy I've ever known! You'll do amazing!" I squeeze his face with my hands, shaking him a little bit to add some emphasis.
"Are you sure you wanna sit back stage for a few hours?"
"No place I'd rather be." I smiled. "Other than something else that I won't say yet since we haven't gotten there yet."
The only place that would be better than this would be in his arms. Man, imagine how amazing that would feel.
sorry for such a short chapter but i'm not sure what to write about for the part where she's touring with them so i'll prob make the next chapter the day she leaves.
