Luke's P.O.V

Halfway through my day with Holly, I got an emergency call to go to the studio. I get to the studio last and the Mr.manager guy started instantly.

"So there are a few things we need to get done and discuss." We all nod are heads and he continues,"Today you are going to record a song and we'll find a release date for you."

How can he say this so casually?!

"Well get up and go in that booth and we'll set everything up. Do you guys know what song you think would be smart to release?"

We did know what song but I'm still in shock to talk. "Yeah we do. Out Of My Limit," Calum states. The guy nods and we all go into the booth.

"Woah. Is this real?" Michael says touching everything. Ashton smacks his hand away and we all get to spots we have to be at.

"Put the headphones on," a voice says through a speaker. We do as it says and it instructs us to sing when we're ready.

Calum's part is first so we wait for him to start us off.

We sing the song three times before we move to the instruments. We play the song without singing and by now it's been an hour or two.

We step out of the booth and I fall straight onto the couch, overly exhausted. "Good job boys. They're putting the song together now, but we need to go over some rules," the manage says. Is he ever going to tell us his name? Probably not.

"So the basics. On tour there's no damaging the bus blah blah. From now on you're going to need to be prepared for fans coming up to you and even some hate against you. The boys will help you with anything else you may need but you always need to only focus on your growing career. You guys are going to be very busy and can't have any distractions. Also you guys are going to be the new hot stuff across the internet. You need to be free and act available. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you but you aren't allowed to have any relationships along the lines of girls. You guys can't have girlfriend anymore."

What the fuck? No. I love Holly. They can't make me break up with her. She's not a distraction and I don't need to act available because I'm not available. I don't need to be available. I have a girlfriend and I'm losing her.

I get torn away from my thoughts by the sound of Calum yelling at the guy and Michael saying how e just got Haley back.

Ashton has the sarcastic expression of 'this will turn out great' plastered across his face as he watches the scene. I get up and kick everything in my pathway to the door. I run to my house and slam my bedroom door shut.

I need my family to come home and take my mind off things. I kind of miss my annoying brothers. Damn it. I just can't pull my mind away from the fact they want me to break up with Holly. I need to see her.

I practically run to her house and storm inside. I see Holly sitting on the couch and I go and hug her. I love her so much.

"Uh-Luke? You okay?" She asks. I let her go so I can pick her up. I carry her bridal style out the door and say,"Let's go to the mall. I think I want a lip ring instead of this stud."

She laughs and I set her down. "Does your family know you have it yet?" she asks. Oh shit. "No not quite yet."

She smiles as we walk into the piercing store that I got it done at. "What color?" she asks. "Just plain black."

I grab the one I want and pay we walk out and I ask,"Anywhere you wanna go Hol?"

"No. I want to talk. You're acting strange and haven't stopped shaking. What's going on?" She says. I can't tell her quite yet. We still have awhile. Wait. I never told her about tour!

"I'm just nervous."

"Nervous for what exactly?"

We walk out of the mall and head back to her house. I smile at her and sloppily kiss her lips. She smiles and I can't help but kiss her again.

"It's really nothing. I'm just going on tour with One Direction as their opening act."

She stops walking and her face drops. She then smiles really big,"Really! That's great! I'm so proud of you guys! Congrats Lukey!"

She wraps her arms around my neck and I hold her. I never want to let go. "I love you so much Luke. So very much," she says as she kisses my lips.

How the hell am I supposed to break up with that?!

"I love you more than anything Holly." I state as I kiss her. We walk back to her house and I go to the bathroom to put the lip ring in.

Holly sits on the toilet and watches me as I stand up front of the mirror. I take the stud out and clean my lip before I carefully put the cold metal into my lip.

I look in the mirror and I think it looks great. I look at Holly and ask,"How does it look?"

She smiles as she stands up and kisses me. It's weird with a lip ring but it's nice. "It looks and feels hot," she says.

"My parents are going to be home tomorrow morning and everyone has to bring their families to my house so everyone can meet the 1D boys. So don't make plans because you're coming," I say.

"First off who said I wanted to go and second off I only ever hang out and make plans with you guys so I'm never busy," she replies. "I never said you got the option to go. I'm saying that you're coming. Oh and dress nice. I guess it's supposed to be formal," I say.

She smiles and opens her mouth to say something but I kiss her instead. "I gotta go. I have to clean the house before the party and before my family gets home," I say walking out of the bathroom and down the stairs.

I run out of the house and down the road before she could say anything. Why do I have to leave my perfect girlfriend?

Before I go home I make two stops. Calum's house and Michael's house.

I go in Cal's room and he softly crying while writing in his song journal. "Did you tell her?" I ask. He has to break up with Grace and he must be feeling the same thing as me.

"Not yet. I don't want to. I'm waiting until it gets closer to the tour. It's just a sucky situation," he explains.

"I know. Well I'm going to go check on Mike. Don't stress over it. It'll hopefully be okay," I say as I hug him.

I walk to Michael's house and walk in to see him drunk and walking around. Of course he's drinking. I grab the bottle out of his hand and sit him on the couch in the living room. I pour all the beer out in the sink and go back to see Michael asleep on the couch. I sigh as I go home and clean my house.

This is going to end badly for all of us.
