The next month was spent with me and Luke rehearsing any time we could, after school, at my house on wednesdays, between classes, during lunch. Basically all the time.
The song was pretty simple but Luke was big on the idea of getting everything to blend together perfectly. We spent lots of time fixing our voices to harmonize - which was really hard, may I add, since we have extremely different voice types- trying to fix the arrangements and trying to make my piano and his guitar work together perfectly. In the end he was pretty pleased with the result. It was now the night before the show and Luke was texting me like crazy.
"Hayley"
"Hayley"
"HaILEY"
"what the fuck do you want Lucas"
"MY NAME IS NOT LUCAS"
"BUT I'M SCARED"
"HELP"
"I'm not gonna perform"
"Nope"
"I'm gonna mess up and die"
"Stop being such a dramaqueen"
"Jk don't kill me"
"Seriously though calm down you'll be fine"
"Get some sleep looser"
"That's the thing I can't"
"I'm tired as fuck but it's like I have those creepy hook things in my eyes to keep then from closing"
I closed the chat and called his number, deciding that I would do anything it took to get that guy sleeping. It rang a few times before he picked up in a low voice.
"Hello?"
"Hi bitch"
"Don't be rude. What are you doing though"
"Taking your mind off of it, I'll talk to you until you fall asleep"
"Why don't you sing to me?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes now sing you twat"
And so I did. I sang any tune that came to my head until the loud breathing on the other end of the line turned into soft snoring. I smiled to myself and hung up, setting me phone to the side and falling into a deep slumber.

I woke up and started getting ready, actually putting some effort in looking presentable today since you know, I'll've performing in front of the whole school and all. When i was ready I headed to school, running into an extremely agitated Mr. White on the way in. While in the process of taking my books for my first classes out of my locker, I felt a large handon my shoulder.
"Hailey" I turned around to find those captivating blue eyes staring into mine "I need you to come with me" Luke was breathing heavily, leaning on the locker for support and with his black guitar case hanging on his back.
"But I have to get to class"
"Then just ditch. Look I just...I really need you right now"
The hopeful and scared look on his eyes made me give in, I sighed and nodded, instantly being dragged by the hand through the halls of the school, jogging to keep up with Luke's long legs.
We ended up at the music room, with me sitting behind the keyboard and Luke with his guitar in his arms.
"Luke this is ridiculous, we've rehearsed this a thousand times"
"Just shut up and play"
I sighed and began playing, we did the song flawlessly a few times before Luke finally groaned ans put his forehead on his guitar.
"Luke, what's wrong?"
"I'm just really fucking nervous"
"What are you so scared of? You're amazing"
"My whole entire life I've been told that I'm not good enough, that I'm a fuck up and can't do anything right and I've believed it. So I'm just really scared I'll fuck up and get laughed at"
"Luke,you are not a fuck up and if I have to spend my whole life getting you to believe that then so be it. You have to go out there and enjoy it, trust me when I say it's the best feeling in the world and if you feel unsure, just look at me, I'll be there the whole time. Alright?"
"Alright"
