Relapse (Luke Hemmings)

Chapter 17; Last Day Of Tour

~~~~Nicoles POV~~~~
    I had an issue getting out of bed this morning. I felt, well, dead. I wasn't actually dead and I have no idea what the feeling of dead is but if you could have your brain function and still be considered dead I'm sure this is what it feels like. I decided to slowly peal the covers off of me revealing the bare skin of my arms and soon to be legs. I hated being cold, always have, always will. I appreciate the cold though, gives me an excuse to wear long sleeves. I somehow managed to roll myself off of the bed and land on my knees onto the floor. I don't feel like going at all today but Luke texted me today after I favourited his tweet about his surprise at the concert that I had something to do with the surprise. In my case I feel obligated to go because I knows if I don't I will deeply dissapoint Luke and I don't want to dissapoint him more than I already have.
    I slowly drag my feet in the direction of the bathroom and scrunched my nose at the horrible sight in front of me which is my reflection. "Why is Luke dating me?" I questioned myself and Luke's taste in girls. I decided he must've been desperate or something before brushing my hair and getting in the shower. I took about a 35 minute shower, longer than I usually do but I'm not feeling in the highest moods today, I actually feel like I've stooped lower than I have, I feel empty again, just worse. I towel dry my hair and wrap it around me to go to Luke's and Is room to retrieve the clothes I'm going to wear for today. I pick out a pair of red sunset leggings with a novelty-T of a pink kitten with the words: happy kitty, sleepy kitty. Little ball of fur. Quoting a reference from the Big Bang Theory. I quickly find some underwear and finish the outfit with a pair of white and black vans. I'm pretty satisfied with my outfit.
    I look at the time on my phone and notice i have about 4 and a half hours to get there and actually have a decent seat although I'm probably gonna get escorted to backstage and wait just behind the open curtain on Michael's side. I might as well get there in a good amount of time. I rush back into the bathroom to brush out my close to dry hair. I put it up in a messy bun before running downstairs to grab my keys and jumped in my car. I sigh aloud before turning the radio on, "I don't want to do this but I have to."

I arrive in a good amount of time, I remembered when I stopped at a red light Luke texted me to tell him when I get there. Keeping that in mind I take out my phone and tell him I've arrived.
iMessage From Luke
Go up to the security guard at the front and tell him your name and show him our messages so he knows you're not lying when you tell him that I want you to go backstage.
iMessage To Luke
Okay.
I reply before snoozing my phone to do what Luke told me to. I go up to the security guard and tell him Luke wants me backstage then show the gaurs Luke's message for back up also Luke's number so he knows it's him. The guard nods and signals someone to take his place so he can escort me backstage. "Boy are you in for a surprise," the guard tells me smiling cheekily with a laugh. "What do you mean sir?" I asked him in confusion. "Your boyfriend told me not to tell you anything because it's a surprise. I shouldn't have said anything to begin with though, if it makes you feel better it's a surprise you'll like," the security guard explains to me before opening the door to the boys dressing room. "Okay," I say before he closes the door leaving me to myself.
    I look around the guys' dressing room seeing that I don't really have anything else to do. I sit myself down in a swivel chair when I finished observing my surroundings. Soon enough I hear the door open so I spin the chair around to see who is entering the room. "Hey," I hear a familiar raspy voice greet me. "Hey," I replied sweetly smiling. "I'm glad I can see you again," Luke says before closing the door behind him. "Me too," I agreed. I feel Luke's arms wrap around me, engulfing me into a hug. I hug him back until we let go of each other. "So if you don't mind, I would want you to bring this stool with you and follow me," Luke tells me hanging me a wooden stool. "Okay," I say as Luke hands the stool over to me. I do as instructed and followed him to the opening of the curtain.
    "You can sit it here," Luke points at a spot that'll hide me from the audience. I nod my head and set the stool down along with myself. Luke gave me a warm smile before going back stage again. I assume it's to get the guys.
~~~~Luke's POV~~~~
    "Okay guys, Nicole is behind the curtain. Again if you say anything as to why I'm doing this I will make sure you all have a slow and painful death," I threaten them before leading the way towards the curtain again. As we wait for our intro the guys take the time to catch up with Nicole. Soon enough we were introduced to the stage, being greeted with the hundreds of fans screaming and chanting our names. This is what made me happy about the whole tour. The only thing the made me wanna come home was the thought of seeing Nicole again. I'll see her soon.
    "How's everyone tonight?" I shout into the microphone causing louder screams to erupt from other girls mouths. We start off with our first song, through out the whole concert I just looked at Nicole to see her smiling face. Nearing the end I noticed she seemed to look sad which concerned me a bit. She was mine and I was going to tell the whole fanbase that it is in fact true, I am dating her. "Hey Luke," I hear Michael trail my name. I furrowed my eyebrows at him to signal that I am questioning his action. "Don't you want to tell them your surprise yet?" Michael asks me causing the crowed to go silent with only murmurs to be heard. "Uh, well Michael, that is a good idea isn't it?" I say to him, "I mean, we've got some time to spare so why not?" I confirm his expectations. I look over at Nicole whose eyes grow big at the realisation that I want her to come on stage.
    "Please," I pleaded into the microphone. She throws her hands up in the air before inching herself off of the stool. "Yay!" The band cheered in unison causing her cheeks to go red. Once she was standing beside me I put my arm around her and start to speak into the microphone again. "So as you may have heard this girl under my arm is my girlfriend. I've seen some of the things you guys have said over Twitter and I didn't really appreciate the fact that you think someone would lie about this. I'm telling you this so you all will know that this girl right here. Yeah the one I'm completely in love with is my girlfriend. All I ask is for you to not give her shit about it, thank you," I tell them before walking off stage. I hear a bunch of awe's coming from the crowed making me smile that they think she's adorable.
    I look over at Nicole who is a pretty deep shade of red. "Did I embarrass you?" I asked her hesitantly. "No," she shook her head still looking at the floor. "Then why are you that red?" I asked her obliviously. "Because you told them I was your girlfriend," she tells me fiddling with her hands. I smile at her before turning my attention to see where we're walking.
