"Yeah." Calum croaks. "How did you know that?"
I laugh to myself. "Because we found him along the way of our travels west. He's living in my apartment building."
"No fucking way!" Calum spats. "Luke is alive?"
"Very much so." I giggle. "He has a beard."
"A beard?!" Calum excites. "I can't believe this! Ashton!"
Ashton smiles brightly. "Now I just wish we could find Mikey."
I frown seeing the pain behind his eyes. "We will find him."
He nods, giving me a small smile. "Well..can we go see Luke after?"
"Of course!"
Our food is served and I can't help but to feel like the boys eat a bit quicker no doubt anxious to see their long lost mate. Calum pays the tab, and we set off route to the apartment building.
"Ah, I'm so bloody nervous." Calum jitters.
"It's just Luke, mate." Ashton says, just to convince himself that he is alright.
"You boys will be fine." I say, leading them up to Luke's apartment. I know on the door twice getting no response.
"Ashton? Calum?" I hear Luke's voice from behind us.
"Holy shit! Hemmo!!" Calum curses.
Luke hurries to us, coming in for his bro hugs. "I thought you mates were dead."
"We thought you were dead." Ashton stresses.
"I'm not dead." He laughs.
"Neither are we!" Calum says. "Shit, I can't believe this."
"Neither can I." Luke shakes his head, rubbing his hand over his face. "Mikey?"
Both Ashton and Calum shake their head. Luke's face drops, hands clinching into fists.
"Don't give up hope, Luke." I speak gently. "We will find him."
I leave the boys to their own conversation, heading in to my own apartment. Liam is preached upon the couch, amused by something on the television.
"Hey." I greet.
"Hey. You have to come watch this, it's hilarious." Liam laughs not taking his eyes off the television.
"What is it?" I ask sitting next to him.
"Some comedian, but he's hilarious." He continues laughing at a horribly implied joke.
I nod my head not really finding the program funny. I stare in the t.v.s generally direction thinking of the Australian boys joyous reunion. I pray and hope that the other boy Michael is still alive and that we may find him as well. Liam taps my leg knocking me out of my concentration.
"Welcome back." He smirks.
I smirk. "You could easily find out what I'm thinking."
He shrugs. "I could, but sometimes I like a mystery."
"Just like the girl in your bed room this afternoon?"
He gulps harshly, laughing nervously.
I wave him off. "Good for you."
"Are you mad?" He asks suddenly.
"No? Why would I be?" I confess.
No, I wasn't mad. I was hurt. But then again, how could I blame him?
