Star Crossed

Band Practice

Samantha's POV
I woke up to my clock annoyingly ringing, I reached my hand over to my little table next to my bed and hit my clock. After 2-3 hits it finally shut up. It was Monday morning, last night 5sos and the guys decided to start band practices so we could get ready for the upcoming tour. I didn't disagree with the idea because I thought it was good, I just wasn't on board with the idea of Arzaylea being there. Don't get me wrong she seems like a nice person, it's just a bit awkward since she kinda cheated on Luke which lead him to sleeping in the same bed as me but I guess that's in the past now. As I shook myself out of my own thoughts I walked into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Once I was down I glanced over to my clock which read 12:30pm, we were supposed to meet the guys (5sos) at one of the studios at 2:00 with gave me enough time to get my makeup and outfit ready. I decided to wear my grey pullover sweater (the sleeves were way to big but that's how I liked them) and some nicely fit high black waisted jeans. I walked over to my makeup table and decided on just putting foundation and some mascara, since all we were gonna do was play through a couple of songs. I put on my signature black Toms and looked myself over once more in my mirror before leaving my room and heading to Jessica's. "Knock knock I'm coming in witch." I said at the door before opening it. Jessica was currently putting her hair up into a pony tail, she was wearing light washed shorts with a light grey crop top, like always along with her white converse. Jessica and I were complete opposites when it came to our clothing style, I didn't believe in any colors besides black,white,and grey. While she liked lighter colors and was more "colorful". She turned around and looked herself in the mirror, "Does this look okay?" she asked me still looking at herself in the mirror. "You look good we're just gonna play through some songs Jess, get all horny." I said with a smirk. She knew exactly what I was talking about, "Shut up." she said while turning around and throwing a pillow at me. Jessica and Calum were now a official couple and I couldn't be happier for her, I guess you could say I was Jalum trash. "Okay I'm going to get my guitar, I'll meet meet you downstairs." I said while walking at of her room and heading back to my room. I walked over to the back of my room and grabbed my guitar case which already had the guitar inside and pulled it over my shoulder. I walked downstairs with ease careful not to fall and break my neck along with my instrument. Alex,Isaac,and Emere were already downstairs getting their equipment loaded into the car. I walked outside and put my guitar in the truck along with Isaac's keyboard and Jessica's guitar. I walked back into the house and headed back upstairs realizing I almost forgot my phone and bag. As I ran back downstairs Emere was already shouting for us to hurry or else we would be late. "Okay I'm here you can call your tits now." I said with a light chuckle while walking out the door. We were going in two separate cars, Alex and Isaac in one and Jessica,Emere and I in another.

*15 minutes later*

We pulled into the drive way to the studio and got our equipment out of the cars and walked into the studio we would be praticing in for the next couple of hours. As we were entering I could see from the corner of my eye Luke and Arzaylea kissing. I tried my best to ignore them and head towards Michael who I was on his laptop (I know very surprising). I walked over to him and hugged him from behind, "Hey Mike, whatcha doing?" I said over his shoulder looking into the computer screen. "Oh hey Sam, I'm just watching the anime you recommended and let's just say I haven't gotten any sleep." he said while turning his gaze from the computer towards me. Michael and I have gotten pretty close the last couple of weeks and I we were constantly watching anime or recommending each other anime. "By the way you're welcome." I said with a light chuckle before getting off of his shoulders and walking over to greet the others. Along with getting close to Michael I grew to become comfortable with the rest of the boys. I mean I was still my same old self which consisted of low social skills and just being awkward in general, but I was glad I could call them my friends. I walked over to Ashton who was making himself coffee, "Hey Ashton." I said looking at the table filled with pasties and all the things a child's dream would consist of. "Hey Sam good afternoon, do you want some coffee." he offered me with a smile. I swear his smile was one of my favorite things about him, along with his super bright personality. "No thanks, I'm not a coffee drinker." I said while looking at the two coffee makers, just looking at them kind of made me nauseous. "Are you serious? Never met a person who didn't like coffee." he said before taking a sip of his hot drink. "Oh and by the way you can put your stuff in the back." he said pointing over toe the back door which I'm guessing lead to the room we would be soon practicing in. "Thanks." I simply said walking over to my guitar bag and once again pulling it over my shoulder. Calum was sitting with Jessica, Isaac,Alex,and Emere were eating, and I just spoke with the other two boys. But where was Luke? He and Arzaylea were probably sucking each others faces in one of the rooms. I opened the door that Ashton pointed to and closed it behind me, the door lead to a short hallway with a couple of door leading to other room. I saw a large window displaying the room we were going to be practicing in and opened the door. It was cold I inside and I got goosebumps along my arms. I walked over to the stage and set my guitar case down on the small stage, I heard footsteps behind me and I quickly turned around. It was no one other than Luke and Arzaylea, I turned my head back to my guitar just as quickly. "Oh hey Sam, I didn't know you guys were already here." he said with a laugh chuckle. Well maybe if you weren't sucking on eachtohers faces all the time maybe you would notice a thing or too! I said in my head, "oh...yea..we kind of just got here." I simply said while taking out my guitar and placing it on the stand. I walked off the stage and quickly walked over to the door. "Wait can I talk to you?" he asked looking at me. "Arz can you go back with the others I'll be there in a bit." he said while placing a kiss on her forehead. "Yea, and hey Samantha." she said while pulling me into a hug, I hugged her back not wanting to come off as rude. Once she left Luke motioned for me to follow him to the stage where there were a few seats. I followed wanting this to be over because the awkwardness was eating away at me. "Look Sam, um....are you and me okay?" he asked making me not only surprised but confused. "Yea, why wouldn't we be?" I replied giving him a confused look. "Oh okay...it's just since me and Arzaylea got back together we haven't...you know talked." he said looking down at the floor his face expression almost seemed sad?

Luke's POV
I looked down at the floor remembering how much fun we had the night we met. It was the night Arzaylea cheated on me, Michael and the others thought I was crazy for taking her back but I still had feelings for her. But ever since we got back together Samantha and I grew apart and she grew closer to Michael which I hated to admit but made me jealous. He didn't know about her as much as I did, not much people did, why was I angry at her? I mean I had Arzaylea and she made me happy, but Samantha had something that she didn't. I felt like I could talk to her and she would listen, Arzaylea cared but not the same way Samantha did. I looked back up at her and looked her in the eyes before I could say something the door to the room flew open and 3 loudass guys (also known as my band mates) came in breaking the silence Sam and I had created.
