Falling for Luke Hemmings

The Truth Will Set You Free

Luke's pov:
"THANK YOU, LOS ANGELES!" Ashton yelled throwing his drum sticks into the crowd. We stood beside each other and bowed to the cheering crowd. The show was over and we walked off the stage into the dressing rooms. "Great show tonight, mates!" Calum cheered. "I can't believe it! We're finally famous!" Ashton chuckled. "Soon we'll be making albums for days!" Michael let out trying to catch his breath. We we're all quite sweaty. I walked over to the pastry table and grabbed a bottle of water gulping it down.

"We can finally go home now!" I grinned walking over to get my things together. "Yeah, it's so soon. I can't wait to travel again." Calum admitted. We all agreed and began packing our instruments and suitcases into the van. Before leaving, I wanted to call Amanda to see how she was doing and tell her I was on my way home.

"Luke!" She answered. "Hey, babe!" I smiled even though she couldn't see me. "Are you on your way home yet?" She asked. "We just packed up. We gotta wait on our driver now.." I responded. "I can't wait! I missed you so much." She said lowering her voice. "I missed you too, baby." I retaliated. "I got a surprise for you and the boys when you get here." She squealed. "Really? What is it?" I questioned. "You'll have to wait and see!" She teased. "Oh come on! Atleast tell your boyfriend?" I asked making a pouty face. "Nope! You gotta wait and see!" She reiterated. "Okay fine!" I gave in with a laugh at the end.

"Luke! Come on lets go!" Ashton yelled for me to get in the van. "Coming!" I yelled back. "Hey listen.." I went back to the phone. "I know. I'll see you when you get home." She said. "See you soon." I said and the call ended.

I took a deep breath and grabbed my last bag to get in the van. After I buckled up, I put my ear buds in and looked out the window at all the screaming fans lined up. They all waved and jumped up and down. Many even ran after the van, but cop cars surrounded us. This. This is a new start.

Time: 7:45 p.m.

Amanda's pov:
I sat on the couch waiting for the boys to get home. I couldn't help, but to feel anxious. I left a Teddy bear, balloon, and box of chocolates at each of their houses on their doorstep so they would see it before walking into their homes. I was hoping my surprise was going as planned that they would all show up at my house. I checked the time and it  was currently 7:48 p.m.

They should be back any minute! Okay calm down, Amanda.. it's okay.. breathe..

The more I waited, the more anxious I grew. I stood up from the couch to run up to my room to make sure I looked okay. I wore my black skinny jeans with a floral tank top and black converse. My hair was straight and I had a little bit of makeup on. Okay.. breathe..

Ashtons pov:
Once we got off the plane, another van came to pick us up and take us home. I was the first to be dropped off. I made sure I grabbed all my belongings and stepped out of the van to head inside to see my parents. They were barely home, but they promised they would be home once I arrived back in Sydney.

Before I walked inside, I noticed a balloon floating and looked down. There was also a stuffed bear and box of chocolates with a note saying "Congrats on your first concerts! -Amanda". My heart dropped.

Calums pov:
I grabbed my things from the van and walked up to my porch trying to grab my keys. Since I had so many bags in my hands, I dropped my keys which made me notice a floating balloon, chocolate, and a stuffed elephant. "Congrats on your first concerts! -Amanda". 

Luke's pov:
The van finally dropped me off at home and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling jet lag. I walked up to my front doorstep noticing that I had a stuffed penguin with balloons and chocolate. "Congrats on your first concerts! -Amanda" the note read. I smiled and walked inside with my things to set it down. I couldn't wait to see her.
