My Bestfriend's Lover Sequel: He Doesn't Know

Part Twenty Eight: Babe

Luke's P.O.V.

Few months later

I was leaning at the door frame, watching Calum as he beats Michael for the first time in Fifa. Honestly, it's just funny how Michael looks like a five years old kid getting beaten by his older brother, whining and wanting a rematch. But Calum was now busy laughing and jumping around.

Ashton was sat at the far corner near the window, reading a book. It was the 10th book since we came here a couple of months ago. He'd read everyday; in the morning before we go on rehearsals or a show, or during our free time. I can even see him reading at night before he goes to bed.

It's been two months already since we came here in the UK.

What happened since then?

Well, like everyone else, I was so pumped out about the tour. We were given a week off after arriving. We took that as our chance to explore the place. We tried every English food there is and went to different tourist places. Every now and then, some girls would recognize us, saying how they've heard of us from the One Direction boys and watched our YouTube videos. It was pretty overwhelming; but, of course, we still want to make our own name, and not be known just because of them. For now, this would do. I know someday we will.

Our nervousness about being in a foreign country with no name yet had faded away after we played the first few shows. Some people know us already and were actually cheering for us. Some even knows the lyrics to the song Gotta Get Out after releasing a studio version of it.

It was always fun playing with them and the One Direction boys. Even though Zayn still looks a little distant from us, the rest of the boys would sometimes jump in as we play and would sing with us or goof around.

Cheryl happened to be our acting manager. She gives these rules that we need to follow. It was okay though. She let us have fun sometimes. And, I mean, it's not like we are not having fun when she tells us to rehearse because it's what we're here for and it's what we feel we do best.

But not until Calum tweeted something about Michelle a month ago. She went furious about it and says that he could have just kept the relationship private or just break up with Michelle because, and I quote, it'll be easier to sell us if we are all single.

And, just when we thought she'd understand us after we talked to her, she took all our accounts and deleted pictures that we posted before we begun touring - pictures that were mostly of us with Delilah and Michelle. Not unless it's a group photo though that she would leave it out.

But, of course, people must have already seen it so what's the point.

Besides, Calum was with Michelle already before we even came here. Calum didn't left Michelle, but he had been more careful about posting on social media to avoid pissing Cheryl off again. He ended up avoiding the public eye as much as possible, keeping things privately.

At one point we got mad at her and almost didn't showed up for rehearsals. But Louis phoned Delilah in.

And I have a feeling that Louis likes Delilah. I mean, what are the odds? But he seems really interested in her since the first time they met. Not that she is not interesting. If we aren't close friends, I would have asked her out, to be honest. She's one of a kind and any guy would be lucky to have her. She's very sweet and thoughtful. But, that's it, we're like brother and sister. That one time that I almost fell for her, I had to remind myself about that.

Anyway, so, she, Delilah, called us and encouraged us to go on. We also spoke to Michelle, who, despite her and Calum's relationship being at risk, told us that we can do it and that she understands the situation. Without these two girls, I don't know where we'd be. They're like our number one supporters ever since and, I know to myself, that we are super grateful that we have them in our lives.
