ASHTON POV

**6pm, May 6th**

"Ash, Luke isn't answering his phone, do you know if he's in his bus?" Calum asks me while I change my shirt.

"I can go check. That's where he was last." I say.

"Ok, I still have to change and I know Michael won't." Calum says.

"Yeah, I'll go right now." I say. I pocket my phone, and exit the stadium. It's so loud because there are fans freaking everywhere but back here. I head into Luke's bus, and find him in the bedroom.

"Luke, you've gotta go change for the concert, it'll be starting soon." I say, touching his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm coming." He mumbles. I sit down next to him, and pull him into a hug.

"Come on penguin." I say.

"Thanks Ash." He says.

"You're welcome. Now lets go." I say.

"Ok." He says. We get up, and we head to the dressing room.

"Do I look like I've been crying?" He asks me.

"Kinda yeah." I say.

"Great." He mumbles.

"You know how to handle it." I say. He nods. He enters the dressing room, pretending to be annoyed with me for bothering him.

"Did you wake up the king?" Michael asks me while laying on the couch. Luke glares at him.

"Didn't I tell you to stop being a jerk to him?" I ask Michael.

"If he wants to mess with me then let him, he'll see how it ends." Luke says. Michael notices how extra pissy Luke is acting, and moves to look at him. He notices the tear stains on Luke's face, and Luke only glares at him.

"Hey, I didn't mean to upset you with what I said earlier." Michael says.

"You didn't." Luke says. He grabs his clothes, and heads to the showers.

"Was he really crying?" Michael asks me.

"Seems like it. He was just sitting there when I went into his bus." I say.

"Shit." Michael says.

"I told you to be nice to him. I think he's pissed off because of it." I say.

"Really? You think?" Michael says sarcastically.

"You realize he'll take it out on me, right? Thanks mate." I say.

"I didn't expect something like that to hurt him." Michael says.

"Just leave him alone." I say.

"Yeah, I don't wanna make things worse for you." Michael says.

"Jesus Christ, what is up with him?" Calum enters from the showers.

"I kinda made him cry and now he's extremely pissed off." Michael says.

"Nice one Mikey." Calum says. Luke comes in, fully cleaned up.

"We've got to get our hair done in ten minutes." Michael says to us. Luke just glares at him while he drinks a soda. The hair stylist comes in, and Luke goes to get his hair done.

"You really did piss him off." Calum says quietly to Michael.

"I didn't mean to." Michael mumbles.
