My Bestfriends Brother ~ Luke Hemmings Fanfic

Chapter 34

Ryan's POV

"Pssstt." I heard something and felt someone poke my cheek.

"Whaaaa!" I groaned, keeping my eyes shut to avoid the light that was probably shining out the window. What time was it?

"Ryan. Get up." It was Luke and he was trying to stay as quiet as possible.

I gave up and opened my eyes slowly, adjusting them to the lighting that wasn't as bright as I thought it would be. Luke stood in front of my bed. His hair messier than ever and a morning face on full display. Oh boy, it was early.

"Umm. The guys and I got a call from this guy who wants to meet us back at home about a record label so we have to get there ASAP. Are you even listening?!"

I opened my eyes widely, yawning.

"Yes. What time is it?" I asked.

"It's now exactly 7:14am." He yawned. "Look, I know it's early but I didn't wanna wake Gabi up so you tell her that I'm sorry but we had to leave as fast as we could, okay? I'll call one of you later when we see what happens."

Then Michael walked in, whispering to Luke that they had to leave.

"Good luck, dudes. I believe in you." They both nodded and left the house.

Even though I only got like 4 hours of sleep, I think it was a pretty good time for a morning swim at the lake. Oh yes.

Luke's POV

"Yeah, sure. We'll get there as soon as possible. Thank you, sir." Ashton nodded. "Mhmm, bye."

He fist bumped the air. This meant amazing news.

"Pack your stuff, we have a record label to sign." Ashton smiled looking happier than ever. He looked at all three of us, reassuring us this was it. And even though it was extremely early, it was the beginning of something new.

And here we were. On our way back home to sign a record label. An actual one. Even though we have recorded a fair amount of songs, released an EP and are stoked about it all, it didn't feel real or it just didn't feel like we were doing the right thing. I wanted to go out there and do what I'm good at. Which is play guitar and sing. I wanted to meet our fans all around the world and tour. Not be stuck in a small studio and just record, not spread our little something and make it even bigger. With an opportunity like this, you just have to grab it.

For me this meant no college, but band. I know it's been less than a year since I met these guys but these months of band practices, recording sessions, writing sessions and just hanging out like the usual, made us so close. They were my brothers and I'm glad they accepted me in. And now I hope to make this into something extremely bigger and take whatever we have and share it with people. Share whatever us four idiots have and can do.

"So, that's it. All you have to do is sign. Like I said earlier, few more recording sessions to do, then you guys release another EP or even two, it really depends on yourselves and then you can tour. Take and build it up slowly. The album will come in the next year as well, and then maybe, well most likely a world tour. So?"

The four of us were speechless. In front of us stood a few people that actually liked what we do and wanted to help us out. All thanks to Gabis dad, oh God, how are we ever gonna pay him back.

-

"They're heading home now, right? Have you said anything?" Michael asked, sitting down on the couch beside me.

"No, but I think she already has an idea what's going on." I smiled.

"C'mon lets get some food before they get back and then we'll celebrate. I can't wait, bro!"

It felt incredible to have one of your bestfriends cheer because he was happy. You know, all people have their ups and downs. Between the four of us we knew about our past, and everything we had to deal with. Michael unfortunately spent a few of his early teen years by himself with no friends and little hope to achieve anything. He thought he wasn't good enough. And guess what? There he was. In a band with three of his bestfriends that just signed a record label. It felt fucking amazing because he was happy and so were all of us.

"Pizza?" I suggested, as we headed to Michael's fridge. He opened it and from his face I could see that there was absolutely no food in the fridge that would suit our taste or current cravings.

"Pizza it is." I laughed, leaving the kitchen for my car. Cal and Ash had a few hour shift at work till 6pm and yes, we just signed a record label but they still had to work. Probably gonna quick the job in a few weeks time when things get busier, with exams and band stuff.

"Lazio pizzeria, here we come." Michael got in the passengers seat and we took off to our personal favourite pizza place.

Gabis POV

I got up at around 11am, pretty late than usual but only because we went to sleep at around 4am.

With no Luke by my side I got out of the bed and put on the same black oversized hoodie that I borrowed from Luke last night. It was comfy af and it smelt like him. Would he mind if I accidentally kept it? Probably.

When I got to the living room I found it empty and extremely untidy. Someone's gotta do a lot of cleaning. What happened last night? Where is everyone?

There seemed to be no one in the house so I got out the back and found Ryan sunbathing and Brandon and Matt in the water, swimming.

I could hear them in the distance.

"Oh no, the witch has awaken!!" Brandon shouted. Great. "She's probably gonna make us clean everything up, oh no, please don't! I'm sorry for making a mess." And then he went under wanted, Matt launching his butt off. Seriously, Brandon was a 7 year old. 

"Oh, hey! You're up!" Ryan took off his black sunglasses as soon as he noticed me.

"Hi. Where are the boys?"

"Oh about that. Something came up. AKA they may or may not have left here very early because they got a call about a record deal?" I felt my whole body awaken as if I was injected something very strong.

My boys are gonna have, and maybe already have a record label? OH MY GOD!!!!!!

"YESSSS! I knew it! It had to happen sooner or later. Kinda sad they had to leave so early but it's worth it. Oh my goodness I can't believe it!" I was over the moon.

"I know! But Luke woke me up so early, man. Couldn't he like leave a note or something." He rolled his blue eyes, putting back on his sunglasses.

"I guess he just wanted you to be the first one to know." I suggested.

"Nah, he just didn't want to wake you up, so he went for me. Smooth A F. Smooth AF, Lucas." He was tired, I could tell.

"Awk, c'mon. Lighten up. You're brother is living the time of his life, be happy, you grumpy bastard." I laughed at him, trying to be all badass. Didn't really work for Ryan. He was more dorky.

"I am! I'm just not in the mood to show it."

"Well, what if I ask the boys to go out to a club tonight, would you go? You know, to celebrate. Maybe you'll get lucky." I winked, mostly for nothing because he wasn't even looking at me so I mentally punched myself in the face.

"I like the sound of that. Thank you." And then I left the deck and went back inside to change. Ryan had a little grin on his face, probably thinking of what could happen tonight.

While the three of them had fun outside, it was time for me to start cleaning so we leave the place spotless at 2pm. Let's do this.

Once again, updating at very late hours because I get in the mood to write whenever I'm half tired 😂😂 lol

Hope you liked it... I dunno if I did. It's kind of meh. Just a filler I suppose. Just thinking of ways to improve and make this more exciting. But it's way harder than you think.

Anyway,

Ily!!
