Star Crossed

A New Start

"Hahaha....he what?!" I said to Luke who was sitting across from me on my bed. He was currently telling stories of his band while we both ate ice cream. "He lit his fart on fire..and in the process his ass caught on fire." Luke repeated myself before putting a spoon full of ice cream into his mouth. I again burst out laughing, after I finally catched my breath I decided I wanted to tell Luke an embarrassing story as well. "Don't tell Emere that I told you this but, I once caught him dancing in front of the bathroom mirror. But the best part was that when he tried to shuffle he lost his balance and hit his head on the wall." I said while scooping up ice cream with my spoon. Luke let out a light chuckle which made me smile. He was really good company and it was nice to see another side of him. He was like me kind of quiet but I took first place, I was beyond the word quiet.

We sat there in a peaceful silence, I glanced over to catch him looking at my tattoos on my wrist. "Oh sorry, it's just I didn't notice you had tattoos. When did you get them?" he asked his curiousity getting the best of him. Only my friends (my band basically) knew the story behind these tattoos but I trusted Luke so why not right?

"I got them last year, its both my mom's and dad's name in Japanese." I answered looking at them tracing the characters with my finger, another habit I had. (p.s the tattoos are on one hand and go around her wrist sort of like a bracelet) "Being away from family has been hard, so I decided that the only way I could calm myself down was to bring them with me while I'm away for tour. This was the way I choose." I finished, it was extremely difficult to leave my mom but music was my life and I needed to get away. "Thats really cool, I've never seen anyone with that sort of tattoo on them. Just remember that your family is with you, your band is with you. Starting next year I and the guys will also be with you, just keep your head up and everything will be okay. He reasured me, grabbing my hands and giving them both a little squeeze. I was glad Luke understood and again I pulled him into a hug. He felt like home and I felt happy and safe around him, his band were very lucky to have a guy like him around on a daily.

I pulled away and looked at the ground, was I growing feels for him? No, I cant we're just friends plus we're going on tour together. Plus he wouldn't like a girl like me, it just wouldn't happen. He got up and threw away the ice cream carton, I did the same. "So what now?" he asked crossing his legs that for some reason reminded my of noodles. "I don't know, the guys will be at the party for another 3 hours I said. "Yea same goes for Ashton and the others." he spoke playing with his lip ring.

Before I could say something back my phone started ringing, the caller ID was Jessica. Why was she calling? Was she okay? I quickly answered and got up and started to pace my room, once again another habit of mine. All I heard was loud music and people cheering, after a couple of seconds I heard Jessica's voice. "Hey Sam, um...just calling to check up one you. And I'm coming home with Calum this party kinda sucks." she said chuckling I let out a sigh, I hadn't noticed I was holding my breath. "Okay, I'm here with luke see you in a bit." I said with a smile while hanging up.
