Brothers Bandmate

58

-Brianna's POV-

Today was the day. The day that would make or break mine and Luke's relationship. Me and Mikey walked into the place where the gig was, the boys already finishing with setting things up. I felt a little odd in but I also felt more confident. Tonight was about how Luke and I are good together, and this outfit shows how Luke makes me feel.

Mikey and I walked backstage, Ashton finishing setting up his drum set and Calum adjusting the mic's for their heights. Luke on the other hand was drinking some water when we got back there.

"Wow, you're doing a great job helping there, Luke!" Mikey praised sarcastically, patting Luke on the back and making him stop drinking.

Luke put the cap on his water bottle as he turned around. "I have been helping, I just needed..." Luke stopped when he saw me. I gulped, wondering if that was a good thing. Did he think it was too much? Did he not like it? "Brie...woah..." he trailed off.

Mikey rolled his eyes. "Nice, Luke," he said, going to help Ash.

I walked to Luke, sucking in my lips as butterflies flew in my stomach. "Is...is it okay? Do I look fine?" I asked, scared of his answer. Another thing I love about Luke is his honesty, but sometimes I feared it.

Luke nodded. "You look better than fine. You look...amazing, beautiful...breath taking..." he listed, making me smile he kissed me. "Seriously, I've never seen you quite like this."

"I thought I should show the confidence that you gave me," I explained.

Luke shook his head though. "No, that's not from me, Brie. That's all you. I just helped you realize you had it." I looked down, blushing. Luke noticed and chuckled. "Either way, you wear it well," he kissed my head.

"So...are you ready for tonight?" I asked him, changing the subject.

"I think so. The better question is if you're ready?"

I took a deep breath, looking out into the crowd. "I hope so..." I breathed, unsure of myself.

"You'll do fine. Just one song, the last song. That's it," he assured me.

"Yeah...I just hope Mikey is doing okay. He's probably just as nervous as the two of us," I said, remembering the agreement Mikey made with our dad.

"Why's that? He'll still have Sophie."

I froze, realizing something. "Wait...did Mikey not tell you guys?" I asked Luke.

"Tell us what?"

Oh no. Mikey never told them! And if tonight doesn't go well, it could be the end of the band! "Um...Mikey made an agreement with my dad and...just talk to him. He should tell you," I left it at that. Luke furrowed his eyebrows, but luckily my phone saved me when I got a text.

Sophie: Almost there, pulling into parking lot

I texted back a quick okay and looked up at Luke. "I have to go, Ally and Sophie are here with my dad. I'll see you soon though, okay?"

Luke nodded as I gave him a quick peck on the lips and walked back out into the crowd and to the entrance. I gave a smile to as they entered with my dad.

"Hey!" I greeted them all.

"Woah, Brianna! Where did you even get that outfit?" Ally asked, all of them surprised by my appearance.

I shrugged. "I just bought it recently online."

"You didn't ask me, and that's a very revealing outfit," my dad commented.

I ignored him and turned to Sophie and Ally. "You guys look great too!" I complimented. "The guys are about to go on any minute now."

"We'll see if Michael is really as good as he says. We know what happens if not," my dad said.

"Wait, what?" Sophie questioned, looking at my dad. Mikey didn't tell her either? Am I the only one who knows?

"Okay, how about we get a table," I suggested, changing the topic.

We all made our way to a table near the front and seated ourselves. The guys came out and there was cheering. I smiled, cheering as well and glancing back at my dad who was just sitting and waiting. Oh boy.

The guys played their usual setlist, also including all the songs Luke and I wrote together. When there was two songs to go, I stood up.

"Um...Excuse me. I'm going to use the bathroom," I excused myself and walked backstage.

I stood back there as the guys played Out of My Limit. Luke glanced over and noticed me, giving a smile and a small nod. I grinned at him, feeling myself shaking. I've never done anything like this, but in a minute I'm about to do it anyway. Luke will be right there though, I reminded myself.

They finished the song and now was the time. I took a deep breath and waited for my cue, trying to shake all my nerves out with no luck.

"Thank you!" Luke said, catching his breath. "Now, this will be our last song for tonight. It's new, and it really means a lot, specifically to me. That's because I wrote it with someone really special to me, along with some of the other songs we performed tonight." Luke looked over to me as he announced me. "Please welcome my girlfriend, Brianna Clifford."

Sorry it's been so long and sorry this is kind of a cliffhanger! There's a lot that's going to happen in this night, so I figured I'd separate it into two chapters. This story is coming to an end though and there's only a couple more chapters! So leave comments on this chapter, the story, or just leave some love and I'll try to post this weekend!

Luv ya!
