Luke's POV

"Okay, here is the game plan" whispered Michael as we crept around a soda machine. "Ash and Cal have been quiet for a while now, so they are probably devising a plan" Michael stated as he planted himself behind the ice machine. "No shit, Michael" I laugh, rolling my eyes at his obvious statement. The plan was, wait until we hear footsteps and assume they were Calum and Ashton, wait until they got into shooting range, and then unleash every last foam dart in our arsenal. We sealed the plan with a fist bump and then crouched down in waiting. Not long after our full proof plan creation, we heard some footsteps across the crimson carpet. I lowered my head and peaked under the ice machine to see the worn black leather of Ashton's favorite boots. I sat back up and gave Michael the head nod of approval. "One...two... THREE" I yelled the last number as I jumped out from behind the ice machine with Michael in tow, releasing every last dart I had. When we had shot through all our ammo and used just about every cuss word known to man, I opened my eyes to see Ashton and... "Where's Calum?" Michael panted. "Wait, I thought you guys would know" Ashton was now really confused, as were the rest of us. 'Where would Calum have gone in the middle of a nerf war?'. 

We all stood around for a little while thinking of where he might of gone, when from around the corner, the "sneaky" little lad comes creeping out. "Where the hell did you go? I was attacked and had no back-up!" Ashton complained, punching Cal's shoulder. "Ouch, sorry mate, I ran into a girl on our floor, she was super chill. I talked with her for a bit and then couldn't find you back at our spot, so I came looking for you guys" Calum explained. 'A girl? Shit, now there will be a whole swarm of them for the rest of the night. I will never get any sleep and the bodyguards will be all over us.' "She was cool, I wouldn't worry about her tweeting or posting anything that might cause a bunch of people to get here, she didn't freak out or anything when she saw me" 'Well that answers that then, good to know Cal can read my mind'. "So was she hot?" "What was her name?" "Is she coming to the show tomorrow?" Michael and Ashton began firing off questions left and right. "Yeah, she's hot, Rennick is her name, and yes she is coming to the show tomorrow night" Calum fired right back. Speaking of hot girls, I wonder if Tara is coming to the show tomorrow night, I would love seeing her in the crowd. "Well, did you get her number or something?" I asked. "Shit, no... wait, do you guys have any backstage passes with you?" "I have one back in the room" answered Michael. "Go grab it, I am going to stick it under her door for tomorrow night" Calum said. Michael came back a few minutes later with a notepad, pen and a backstage pass. 

Rennick,

It was great meeting you tonight. I hope you enjoy the show tomorrow! Here is                                                  a little gift from me and the boys! Can't wait to see you tomorrow!                                                                                                            -Calum xx

He finished writing the note, wrapped it around the backstage pass, and slipped it underneath her door quietly. By the time we had finished our mission, it was about 3:00 am. We had to be at the venue tomorrow at 12:00 pm for rehearsals so we all decided it was best to go back to our rooms and try and crash. I got into my room after saying goodnight to the lads, kicked my boots off and grabbed my toothbrush and phone. I started scrolling through twitter as I brushed my teeth, reading all of the excited fan tweets about tomorrow nights show. I was pumped to start this leg of the tour, I couldn't wait to see all of the crowds and the cities. After spitting out the leftover toothpaste and rinsing my mouth out, I peeled off my jeans and t-shirt and climbed into the kingsize bed. 

@Luke5SOS: L.A. can't wait to see you tomorrow night! xx 

I fell asleep reading all of the subtweets, following some people back now and again, and thinking that tomorrow might be the day I see Tara again. 

A/N :

Kind of short I know, and "HELLOOO EARTH TO BELLA, WHY haven't you been posting?" Well, I work 50 hours a week and by the time I am done working I just want sleep. But, I don't want to leave this story, or the few of you that are reading, hanging, so, for the good of the people, wattpad, this story, and Luke Hemmings, I will continue. 

But really, I hope you guys are liking this, and if you are, PLEASE let me know! It is rough on a writer when they are putting their work out there like this and then never knowing if people like it or not. 

BTW, I am sorry about these first few chapters being filler-ish, I promise, the good stuff is coming, I just want to have a good background and foundation to build off of. 

SIDE NOTE: IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, check out my other fanfic, "When You Hold Me" it's a Harry story that I think is really going to grab the readers. I am working hard on both of these stories, so thanks for sticking with me guys. 

All the love, 

Bella xx
