Pieces of Time

Luke's POV

"Thanks John." I hung up the phone and faced the faces of anticipation in front of me.

"What did he say?" Calum smiled.

"He said he would take Ashton today to do that interview for drummers. It was supposed to wait until we got back, but you know John pulled his strings." I smiled.

"John said yes." Winter said to Michael on the phone. "Michael said he will come over here when Ashton leaves." She told us.

We've been waiting for Michael on the curb outside my house for over an hour now.

"Where is he?" I asked impatiently

"He will get here eventually." Winter shrugged.

"You don't seem excited about tomorrow." Calum said to me.

"I am, tonight we are throwing a party after we go to Winter's house though." I smiled.

"Are you guys packed?" Winter small smiled. "Its cold in the UK."

"Luke's mum packed for him." Calum laughed.

"Shut up mate!" I shouted.

"Poor Luke." Winter teased.

Over this past week, Winter became really good friends with all of us. She still struggled with Ashton not knowing who she was, but they have became great friends. The lads and I have yet to discover what Winter is hiding but we think it has something to do with her family. It took hours to convince her to agree to introduce us to them. We decided to do it without Ashton because Winter didn't want to explain the situation to them. Also because we haven't told Ashton that she is coming on tour with us yet. We want it to be a surprise.

"Hey Luke, how did you convince Nicole to leave you alone for more than 3 minutes?" Winter teased.

"You too?" I sighed. I knew Winter only teased Nicole because Nicole was jealously that Michael actually liked her. But she didn't hate Nicole like Michael and Calum.

"I'm just joking with you." She smiled.

"No she's not." Michael laughed as he approached us sitting on the curb.

"Finally!" I shouted.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Michael smiled.

Michael's POV

We walked down the familiar streets toward Winter's house. She seemed fidgety and I assumed it was because she didn't want us to meet her family.

"If John wasnt able to take Ashton, how would you have gotten rid of him?" Winter asked curiously.

"Well either one of us would have to stay behind, or we would have told him that we were playing FIFA at Calum's house." I laughed.

"Yeah, Ashton hates FIFA." Luke added.

"Why? Is he no good?" Winter asked.

"He complains a lot and it's as if he cant see the damn screen sometimes." I shrugged. "So, when we play, he does something else." Calum added.

"Are you any good in real life Calum? You're face lit up when you talked about it." Winter smiled.

When none of us answered her question she changed the subject. "Did Ashton lose his glasses?" She asked.
