Luke's pov

The last couple weeks have been hectic. Between shows, recording and interviews, the boys and I haven't had much sleep. And it's starting to get to me. This morning when i woke up, i could hardly keep my eyes open. It didn't help the Ash was whining for me to get up.

We just finished our second interview of the day and walked out to the car. I laid my head on the door, trying to get some sleep, while the boys talked. The next interview was across town, then we had to go to the venue. I feel into a light sleep, until we got there.

I was woken up by someone shaking me. I grouned and opened my eyes, to see Calum. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"Come on, we're here "Cal said, getting out of the car.

I followed him in to the building. I was instantly called over to get my hair done. I sat in the chair and waited for the lady to do my hair. I watched the boys play around in the mirror. When my hair was finished, i got up and walked over to the couch, sitting down. I put my head in my hands and closed my eyes.

Once the boys got their hair done, we were lead to where the interview will take place. We sat on the couch, as the interviewer interduced us. During the whole thing, i mostly let the boys talk and only really answered the questions directed at me. The boys were giving me dirty looks for not answering.

When it was done, we walked out of the building and to the car. The boys were taking pictures and stuff with fans on the way out, while i just sat in the car, way to tired. The boys got in the car and instantly started getting pissed.

"What the hell, Luke? What's wrong with you today? "Ashton asked, angerly.

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired and not in the mood "i said, leaning head against the window.

"We're all tired, but at least we're trying "Michael said.

"I'm sorry, okay "i sighed.

"It's not good enough, Luke. We have people counting on us. "Ash said, raising his voice.

I kept quiet this time and closed my eyes. I hate being yelled at and being yelled at by the boys just makes me feel like crying. I can't believe they don't believe me. Calum didn't say anything, which is weird.

We arrived at the venue and I instantly got out, walking in. I didn't want to be in that car any longer. You could feel the tension. I could tell that the boys were glaring at me. I walked straight to the dressing room and laid down on the couch, face down. After a while, i felt someone poke my shoulder and i look at them. Calum was crouched down next to me, looking worried.

"You ok? "He asked and i nodded.

"I'm fine "i yurned.

"Take a nap, I'll wake you up later "Cal said, ruffling my hair.

I nodded and he smiled, standing up and walking over to the other couch. I closed my eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

------

I was awakened by someone shaking me, gently. I grouned and opened my eyes. Calum smiled down at me and move hair out of my face.

"Hey, we have an hour until the show. We have to get ready "he said, quietly.

I grouned, but nodded and got up. Ashton and Michael gave me a mean look, as i stretched. I went to the bathroom and slashed water on my face to wake me up. It wasn't working, so i just dried my face off and went back to the dressing room.

We got our hair done and got dressed in our stage clothes, before getting our instruments. I was slowly tuning my guitar, trying not to fall asleep. Calum was watching me closely, while tuning his bass. Michael and Ashton were whispering to each other.

I sighed and got up, walking over to the stage entrance. The crowd were chanting '5sos', which made me smile. I tried to get hyped up for the show, but tiredness was slowly taking over me. Once the boys came over, we were given our ears and the lights turned off. The crowd roared as we ran on stage.

------

The whole show, i was getting more tired. I missed up a couple of notes on guitar, which got me looks from Michael and probably Ashton. As we did the final bawl, i started to see black dots in my vision. I blinked them away and we walked off stage. I slowly followed the boys into the dressing room.

I started to walk to the couch, but stopped when the dots came back. This time, when I tried to blink them away, they didn't go away. I started to feel really dizzy and before I knew it, i felt myself hit the ground and my head hit something hard.

"LUKE "i heard someone yell, before I passed out.

Calum's pov

I turned around when Michael yelled Luke's name. I turned around and gasped, seeing Luke on the ground, out cold. I quickly ran over to him and crouched down next to him. He had a small cut above his eye. He obviously hit the coffee table on the way down. I picked Luke up and walked over to the couch, laying him down.

I turned to Ashton and said,

"Ashton, can you get a wet washer? "

He nodded and went to get one. Michael walked over and looked down at Luke.

"Is he going to be okay? "He asked.

"Yeah, he's just a bit tired "i reassured him. He nodded and sat at Luke's feet.

Ashton came back with a wet washer and gave it to me. I thanked him and sat it on Luke's head. Both boys looked very guilty about this. I wasn't going to tell them it was okay, because that's Luke call.

After 15 minutes, Luke grouned and his hand went to his head. I moved hair out of his face and smiled, as his eyes opened. Before I could say anything, Michael practically jumped on him.

"Lukey, I'm so sorry. "Mikey said, hugging Luke.

"I'm sorry too, penguin. We're tired and weren't thinking straight "Ashton said, looking down.

"Now how's using the tired card? "Luke joked.

"So, do you forgive us? "Michael asked.

"Yes, i forgive you "Luke said smiling.
