High school life

The Show

Walk my way, mrs.all-American
Say my name,
No need to pretend
Don't be shy, mrs.all-American
I'll show you why you're not gonna walk away

Luke's baby blue eyes locked with my chocolate brown. The boys were just starting the show. We were in a crowded downtown bar. It smelled of liquor and cigarettes. The audience ranged from business men after a long day of work, to people with piercings and tattoos.

Luke would always steal little glances at me and wink sometimes. Each time I blushed badly. He would smirk each time he saw my reaction.

I drove by all the places we use to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our lasts kiss
The way it felt, the way you tasted

Oh god. That song. Every time the boys sing this song I nearly cry. This was Luke's song to his ex girlfriend. They were so happy and one day she just snapped. She was with Luke at his house and left mad. She never gave him an explanation.

He got a text saying they were over. She had found a new guy right away. Luke was devastated for days. Even weeks. He basically fell of the face of the earth. He began his drinking and smoking habits then too. He would end up passed out drunk in random places. We think that's why he refuses to drink now.

It turns out the new guy she found was abusive. She got so sick of him she took her own life. This was her song.

Sometimes I start to wonder was it just a lie
If what we had was real, how could you be fine
Cause I'm not fine at all

Oh god I need a drink.

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
Cause I'm not fine at all

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone
I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone
And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know your happy yea it hurts you moved on
It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

I could see Luke wanted to cry. He wouldn't in front of a crowd though.

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
Cause I'm not fine at all

If today I woke up with you right beside me
Like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away
And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the stupid little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

Cause I'm not fine at all
No I'm really not fine at all
Tell me this is just a dream
Cause I'm really not fine at all

By the end of the song I was slightly drunk and slightly crying. That was the last song they were playing tonight. I ran to the side of the stage to give them hugs as they got off stage.

"You guys were amazing!"

They all murmured thank you's and went their separate ways. Calum, Michael, and Ashton ended up at the bar taking a shot. They agreed it was their only one though. I saw Luke sneak out of here outside into the cold. I decided to go keep him company.

He was leaning on the side of the dirty building smoking. I haven't seen him smoke in a long time.

"Do you realize what day it is?" He startled me.
"One year ago today, the one person I was truly meant for, took her own life. And she left me in this shitty excuse of a world."

He wasn't even crying. He said it so calm it almost scared me. I slid down down next to him on the floor. I made sure no one else was around. I leaned my head in his shoulder and sighed.

"I'm sorry Luke. I know how hard it's been this last year. But you have me, Calum, Ashton, and Michael still and we aren't leaving anytime soon."

"Promise?"

I smiled at him. "Promise."

He took a long drag from his cigarette. We both sat there, me leaning my head on his shoulder and him slowly finishing his smoke.
