The Tour

11

A bright light ran straight through the tour bus and onto my face causing me to groan slightly waking up and finding myself in Luke's arms still. He kept his promise he didn't go anywhere. He stayed.

I snuggled into his chest and took in the peace and quiet not wanting to wake him from his sleep as I can imagine he was sat up alone with his own thoughts for most of the evening. Everything about this felt safe and comfortable. His scent, and the way he held me tightly all just felt like home. Although the worst thing imaginable had happened he was trying to make amends last night. His soft side had made an appearance and I could genuinely tell he meant every word when he apologised to me.

However the fact we had both continued to say I love you to one another yesterday continued to run through my brain. They were words that no one should use or take lightly. Those words mean something. And I know within myself I will always love Luke but I also know the love for the old Luke is stronger than the Luke he is now.

In the midst of my own thoughts I picked up my phone and did my usual scroll through social media, still keeping my phone volume low cautious to not wake Luke. A few moments of meaningless scrolling passed and a photo suddenly flashed up on my screen of me at the party chatting to Awsten. I hadn't realised there's was photographers at the party but the photo seemed to have sparked up conversation between fans

5sosupdates: Nicky chatting to Waterparks lead singer Awsten Knight at a 5sos after party - after years of asking for a 5sos x parxs tour could we get a Nicky x parxs one instead?!

I shook off the random tweets and continued to scroll through the photos just hoping there weren't any of me drunk or pushing Luke off me.

Thankfully the more I scrolled the more photos I saw of the 5sos boys with captions explaining how good the fans thought they looked or making jokes over how drunk they looked in the later pictures. However as I scrolled to the next post a mention of my name caused me to stop.

5sauce: Ashtons outfit is unreal he looks so good! But am I seriously the only one who has seen Luke and Nicky in the background of this kissing? I thought they'd broken up?

I instantly opened the photo and zoomed into the background. They were right, there were people in the background kissing. That could be anyone though it's not blindingly obvious that it is us. I quickly looked at the comments hoping somone was going to shut down the rumours

Lukesos: I mean it could be anyone...but then again could also be them the dress that girl is wearing looks similar to Nicky's in that photo of her and Awsten

Dailymichaelpics: Just because it's a black dress doesn't mean it's Nicky! You guys are crazy they've been cussing one another out for the past month. It's over...

Ashtonsdrumstixk: I don't want to ruin anyone's rumours or speculations but have none of you seen this photo?

My jaw dropped as I saw a different picture attached to the last tweet. A photo of Luke holding my hand and leading me upstairs. Both our faces in shot and it's obvious where we're going. But this wasn't a professional photo. It was as good as a photo taken on a phone. Blurry in specific places and was clearly taken in a rush. But that wasn't the point it was taken by someone who was at the party.

"What the fuck" I said out loud staring at the phone causing a groan to come from Luke's mouth

"What's going on?" He asked still sounding sleepy and I held my phone up so he found see what I was looking it "What the fuck" he practically shouted letting go of me and ending the hug

"Your fans somehow have it" I sighed looking at him as he shook his head

"I know we had photographers there but that was ta-"

"Taken on a phone yes Luke" I interpreted as he looked at me shocked for butting in "sorry I'm stressed. Luke someone has taken a picture of us and sold it"

"It had to be Ashton" he blurted standing up as the same anger as the night before rushed over his face

"Right let's not make assumptions here, just because he walked in doesn't mean he'd do this" I replied as he shook his head

"Who else would it be. He wouldn't have walked in there if he hadn't seen us previously. It was a random office room and he came alone he had no reason to go upstairs" Luke blurted as I began to nod in agreement

Luke was right, Ashton had come up to the room alone and without seeing us go upstairs then how did he know we were there. But to take a picture and then sell it off like it's nothing would be way too low for Ashton. He may want to hurt Luke but there's no way he would have done that to me. Surely not.

"We have a writing session later I'll confront him then" Luke said as I shook my head

"You're not confronting shit" I snapped back as he looked at me clearly confused at me standing up to him "I will talk to Ashton. I don't want a repeat of yesterday. Are we clear?" I asked as his mouth opened gobsmacked

"Are we clear Luke?" I snapped as he nodded

"Crystal"
