I couldn't sleep. All this is just too fast. I know I am supposed to be happy for Luke because this is what we wanted for the first place, is for him to be happy.

But do I still want this now?

I don't know, I pushed the lil button beside the sliding mirror and closed it after I got in. There, I tried to sleep.

Nothing. I still happen to open my eyes and think about brynn.

No, this can't be. I can't. She is taken. Luke likes her and he is my brother. I will not do something stupid.

First of all, I feel bad that we still aren't in good terms after what had happen in the mall. I really didn't want to fake my identity, but I had to.

I didn't completely lie, really. My name is Thomas too, yeah but you get it.

I thought everything will be a happy ending. Where I can find Luke his long lost friend and I, I get to fall in love too.

But I must admit, when I met her, I was mesmerized. She was so gorgeous. I mean, finally after all those Luke's stories, I finally get to meet her.

I told her,

/Flashback/

"I like your eyes," I complimented her. She blush and she gave a very gorgeous smile.

"Well I couldn't say the same thing, unless you take off your shades and hood," she joked. "That'd be $4, please."

I must admit, I liked her sense of humor.

"I'm Thomas, by the way," I was about to say Calum but I just had to be careful.

/End of Flashback/

I took the guitar and started playing some random chords. I closed my eyes trying to distract myself when I heard the mirror moving.

I thought it was just my imagination but she stood there and talked to me. This it it.

"Calum? I thou-" she pointed at my bunk. I'm actually pretty tensed. I don't know what to expect on our gonna- be conversation but all I know is that I will be saying sorry.

"Uhmm.. I closed it so that uhmm people would think I'm sleep," I faked laughed. "What are you doing up so late?"

Brynn sat beside the door and she answered my question. "I couldn't sleep. I mean all this is happening, it's too much to handle."

Of course, everything will be revolving around this. "The Luke thing? Like your friendship thing?"

"Is that why I felt so lucky when I thought I actually met one of you guys? I mean the two of you actually," she corrected.

"Yeah. Yeah, uhm. We wanted to surprise him. I mean, he would think of you everyday. I mean, we're all like brothers, so we wanted to make him happy," I explained.

"Look I'm sorry, if I was so upset about you lying," she apologized. "I just, I don't know. I guess I was just so scared that I am how many guys away from the guy I'm looking for."

"Robert? Thomas? What? I'm not stupid. I knew it was you guys, but I just kept on denying it. Cos I'm afraid." she cried.

Oh no, here it is. I never want to see her cry. Ever. I know I haven't gotten so close to her but ever since I met her, I couldn't stop thinking of her.

But when I saw her again in the concert, I was really happy. But then, she came for Luke. When we were singing amnesia, I felt something.

Luke wrote that song for her. And when I saw him stare at her, I felt bad. I nearly lost myself in the song but I shouldn't be too obvious.

"It's not your fault, Brynn. I'm sorry for lying too," I smiled.

"Hey listen, let's go to the park when we stop by at Maryland. The band has a little day off and we could hopefully catch up?" I pulled away from her, meeting her dark brown eyes.

"Okay," she faintly smiled. I sat beside her and to my surprise, she laid her head down my lap and fell asleep.

I played with her black hair until I felt my eyes slowly shutting down.
