Beside You || lrh 2013 MAJOR EDITING

Somewhere New (Chapter 19)

•Luke's POV•

A one hour flight to Perth. This wouldn't be bad. Me and the boys were seated already. Me and Michael then Calum and Ashton in front of us.

"Hey Luke," Michael said.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"What are we gonna do when we get there?" he asked.

"I don't really know..."

"I told you guys, girls, paps and cameras and-"

"Enough, Ashton," I said as he popped up in front of us. His head slowly swooped back down to his seat.

"Anyways," I continued. "Maybe we go to meet One Direction and sign papers and stuff like that."

Michael nodded and when through his phone.

I looked around the plane and a flight attendant approached us.

"May I get you anything, sir?" she asked.

"Mikey," I nudged him. "Want anything?"

"Panda Express?" His eyes lit up.

I chuckled nervously. "Mikey, we're in a plane. I don't think they'll serve Panda Express here," I said and turned back to the stewardess. "Just two sandwiches maybe, thanks."

While waiting, I thought of the things I left in Sydney. School, friends, my best friends and my girlfriend. Dammit. I never thought It'd be that fast. All of that in the airport. Me saying goodbye to them. Why do I feel like it's not really a big deal? How come I found it easy to let her go?

•Stella's POV•

I sighed heavily as we all went out of the airport. The boys' families were going back to their home already and we said our goodbyes to them.

We're all just girls now. Jess, Julie, Risa, Audrey, Trisha and me. We looked at each other and I could see that Trish could barely hold her tears because her eyes were red and teardrops occasionally ran down her cheek.

"Oh Trisha, Calum will be back, okay?" Jess said, putting an arm around her shoulder.

"I-I want him to come home now," she whined and wiped her tears.

"Now girl, relax. Lets have some coffee, you in?" Julie asked.

She nodded. So did all of us.

We started walking to the nearest Starbucks. On the way there, I looked around. Luke isn't here anymore, I thought. None of them are. The streets seem so bare now. I don't know why. It just feels like it.

I was at the back of our group. Thinking too much again. I miss those boys already. And school is starting again on Monday. Just great.

We ordered our coffees and sat at a table. My friends seemed so relaxed. Even Trisha started to relax too. It was a bit hard for me because Luke just means everything to me. But I guess I have to move on. Try and make a change. Its for my own good anyway.

•Luke's POV•

I woke up with the sound of my phone falling on the floor. I bent over to grab it and checked the time. 10:14 am. Wait. We're not in Sydney anymore.

"Hey Mikey," I nudged him.

He obviously was startled because he flinched and made his phone fall. I laughed as he picked it up.

"What?" he asked, sounding groggy.

"Where are we now?" I asked. Okay. This is weird. Instead of asking the flight attendants, I wake up a band member and asked him. Even if he obviously doesn't know.
