The band is supposed to be rehearsing. But when John arrives to join his friends, he finds Theo quietly doodling and listening to some story James is telling, while Luke is asleep in on one of the couches in the studio.
Luke's been doing that a lot lately. Falling asleep at lost and found. And hes had a lot of weird conversations online with the guys, especially late at night. Its something that's changed and John can't help but notice it.
"He message you guys last night too or just me?" John asks, perching on the edge of the couch.
"One-thirty a.m.," James replies.
"Three a.m. for me," Theo says, which from anyone else would be concerning but Theo is usually up by three in the morning. He's been an insomniac since John and Luke first met him.
John nods, looking to his sleeping best friend. Luke looks drained, barely stirring even though the group is talking at their usual level. Frowning, John looks to his friends.
"Something's going on that he's not telling us about."
Theo and James look over at him. After a moment, Theo speaks. "Could part of it be from the fact that Leia's got a new guy...?"
"What?!" This is from James. "When did she and Luke break up?"
Theo shrugs. "All I know is that Leia's got a new boyfriend..."
John frowns but doesn't speak. While the Leia thing might be part of it, he knows Luke better than that. Leia is not the whole reason Luke is acting like this.
Something else is wrong.
