I sat on the couch, with my arms around Luke's sleeping figure, looking at the passing scenery on the bus. Luke's phone buzzed, and it was from a text. I picked it up, thinking it might be from one of his family members, or someone important. Instead, it was from someone named 'Brianna'. 

Brianna: Is Thursday still set?

I decided, that since Luke had read receipts on, I might as well respond and tell Luke when he woke up.

Brae(On Luke's phone): Luke's asleep right now (And looking adorable >P) this is Brae. Who are you? I've never heard of you?

Brianna: LUKE'S SLEEPING RIGHT NOW?

Brae:Yeah

Brianna: Michael is my boyfriend. We were planning on surprising him on Thursday's show. 

Brae: I CAN'T BELIVE MIKE NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT YOU! 

Brianna: He didn't tell you we were dating?????

Brae: No....how long have you been together?

Brianna: Two months......

Brae: That explains his constant absences before tour...........

Brianna: Yup. Well..........

Brae:I'll ask Luke about Thursday when he wakes up. 

Brianna: Thank you, I've got to get back to work. 

Brae: See you Thursday.

Three Hours later~

Luke woke up slowly, clearly not wanting to be awake.

"Hey, Penguin. Brianna texted you and asked if Thursday was still set." I said, and his eyes widened.

"I swear I'm not cheating on you....." Luke said, starting to provide evidence.

"Luke! I know who she is! She told me!" I said, interrupting his rambling. He relaxed, snuggling into me.

"It's set." He mumbled, closing his eyes again. I texted Brianna that, before checking how far out we were form the next venue. We were two hours out, and we had 5 hours before the show. 4 hours before soundcheck, and that left us with two hours before the boys had to do anything. Luke was mumbling something in his sleep, but the words were incomprehensible. 

"Right.....fans....hate..." Luke seemingly mumbled. "True.......too good.......fat...." Luke mumbled even more. I frowned, picking his phone up from where I put it. I unlocked it,  before going into the twitter app, looking at his mentions. They were filled with hate, some calling him fat, some calling me too good for him, and others calling him too clumsy and awkward for his own good. I got my phone out and opened the twitter app.

@.Lukeisapenguin: If I could get rid of anything in the world, it'd be all the hate that's thrown at everybody. 

@.Lukeisapenguin: All we have to do to be happy is be ourselves, and not compare others to ourselves. 

@.Lukeisapenguin: I'll get to the point now.....When you send Luke hate, you send me hate. I'd rather you send it to me then to Luke. Leave my penguin alone, if only for me. 

I sighed, setting my phone down. Soft snores were still escaping Luke's mouth, assuring me that he was still asleep. I kissed the top of his head, checking the time. One more hour of driving, and then two more of sitting around probably. Calum came back into the room, smiling at the sight. 

"You really love him, don't you." Calum said, stating the obvious.

"He's my entire world." I replied with, staring out the window.
