Out of the Darkness (Luke Hemmings/ Ashton Irwin Fanfic)

Chapter 5

The next three days passed, like they never actually happened. Julie and I were stressed with packing our bags and getting last-minute supplies.

"Juls? Come and help me! I can't close my damn suitcase!" I shouted. My best friend had moved her luggage to my flat, cause the boys would come and pick us up in less than an hour.

Lazily she got up from the couch. She was wearing sweatpants and one of her old Volbeat t-shirts. Her brown hair in a messy ponytail. "What?" she said smiling, when she noticed my staring. "We're going to fly for at least 20 hours. I don't actually care, how I look like."

"I didn't say anything. So would you please help me now?" I laughed about her.

She sat on top of my 8th suitcase. "Do you really have to bring all of your shoes?!"

"... YES! You'll thank me someday for my awesome wardrobe!"

"Remind me of that please." Now it was her turn to laugh. I finally zipped up my Trolly.

"DOOOONEE!" We cheered. Just in time, the doorbell rang. "I'm going to get it!" "I bet I'm faster than you!" We raced each other. I opened the door, turning around, screaming "In your face, bitch!"

Julie just smiled at me, glazing at the door.

Oh... Forgot, why we were actually here.

Luke and Ashton were smiling at us. "I didn't know that's your way to greet your visitors." Luke said, while Ashton was just looking at Julie with some sort of fascination.

"Well, you're early. What's up?", she said, smiling back at Ash.

"Actually the princes came to pick up the luggage of the princesses and the beauties themselves." Luke answered my question, smirking.

I looked out of the door, trying to see anything in the distance. "I can't see any princes. If you want you can come in and wait with us for them."

"And you thought such a lot about this pick-up line. Sorry mate." Ashton laughed about my reply.

"Well we are going to grab your things then. And you two can make your way down to the van."

"I will NOT let just the two of you carry all of our luggage. We are going to help." Julie said, grapping two suitcases at once.

"Wait..." Ashton began, wanting to take her things from her.

"Hun, I grew up on a farm. I know when I have to help. And now let me help, woman!" She cut him off, smiling brightly.

"Okay, but then you have to sit next to me during the flight."

"Fine. But just so you know, I'm going to be really annoying." Luke and I smiled at each other, while the other two were flirting.

 20 minutes later, we had everything in the van and got in.

"So Moni, do you know who's sitting next to you?" Luke ask, smiling shyly.

"I don't have a plan. As long as I get a window seat, I even would sit next to Louis." I smiled.

"Well, I'm definetly not that much fun, but you can stay with me, if you want. You.. You don't have to say anything yet. Just think about it okay."

"Luke, it's not like your asking me out on a date. Sure I'll sit next to you." I heard him mutter something. "What was that?"

"Nothing. Just happy to have you next to me." He smirked.

Soon, we arrived at the airport, where we were gathered into a little room, so no fans would chase us or mob us.

"Guys I'm bored..." Louis spoke up.

"Boo, you're always borred." Harry said, not looking up from his phone.

"Anyways.. How about we have a little rehearsal in here? Nobody is going to hear us and I actually don't remember Julie singing for us."

"That's a good idea. But the last time I sung to you, you were all drunk as fuck and you tried to sneak out all the time. I don't know if you'll like my voice as much at a sober stade.", she replied.

"Come on, love. I'm sure, we'll all enjoy your singing." Ashton said, which made Juls blush like mad.

At that moment, Niall got up and excused himself for the toilet. He looked kind of pale and shocked, so I shot Luke a look saying 'I'm going to look after him'.

I got up and also excused myself. I looked around the area a bit and soon found the irish lad sitting against a wall.

"Hey there. Are you okay?" I sat next to him, making me flinch.

"Yeah. I'm okay." He said sadly facing the wall opposite us.

"Niall James Horan, don't you dare lie to me. Now look me in the eyes and say that again."

He turned to face me, with sadness filling his eyes.

"Oh hun, what's wrong?" I asked, embracing him in a hug.

"It's just... I... I kind of like Juls and she... She likes Ashton."

"That was why you wanted his head to explode, when you we're at my place." I smiled a bit.

"You caught me." He laughed a bit.

"Niall. Listen to me. I don't know about the feelings, Julie has for Ashton, but you can at least try to win her heart. Maybe she'll fall for you, maybe for him, but right now, you can still fight for her."

He didn't anwer me at first. When he spoke, I realized, I zoomed out a bit too. Thinking I maybe was in the same situation as him.

The guy I wanted so badly, chose another girl instead of me, cause I didn't think I was worth it. Through my pullover I touched my wrists, thrown back to the points where I broke. I closed my eyes, listening to Nialls voice.

"You know what? That's what I'm going to do. If we are meant for each other, I'm going to find a way. I'm going to make her see, how much I like her. She really is incredible." I heard him smile.

"Yeah. She is one of the most impressiv women I've ever had the pleasure to meet. But if any of you hurt her, I'll hurt that person. She might seem strong and confident, but even she sometimes reaches a point, where she can't take it anymore. Not like she would ever hurt her self or something like that, but when she breaks, it takes a while till she is her happy old self." I replied, with my eyes still closed.

"Moni, thanks for the advice." He got up. "I'm going back to the others. By the way, I might know, that someone with curly brown hair, likes you a lot." He laughed.

"What?!" My eyes shot open, but somehow Niall just disapeared.

I smiled to myself. This year is going to be interesting.
