New Girl (Luke Hemmings fanfic)

Chapter 12

Yesterday was an eventful day. We went to The Statue of Liberty and after that we just walked around for a bit, trying all kinds of foods. A few fans came up to us and we talked a little, took photos and handed out autographs, luckily there wasn't a mob. They are all lovely people, so kind.

Today we are playing a show again and we are currently at the venue making sure everything is working and in place for tonight. I wanted to call Skye yesterday to apologize and just confess everything but Calum reminded me of the stupid timezones and also said that it would be better to talk to her face-to-face.

To be honest, I also think it's better. Telling her all this stuff over the phone isn't ideal. I'm just glad that we'll be back home in four weeks. The first thing I'm gonna do is go and make things right with Skyler. I just hope that it isn't to late already.

I will buy her flowers and maybe even write her a poem anything to make her forgive me and give me a second chance. I hope by doing that I don't scare her off and that it isn't to much for her to take in. Hopefully she won't slam the door in my face at the sight of me or tell me to leave her alone and that she had enough of me. If she does that I'm not sure how I'll be able live with myself.

I'll have to think about that later since we still have sound check to do. As I arrive everyone is there except Calum. "Where's Calum, we have to get this done" I ask Michael. "He's talking on the phone again, he'll probably be here any second now" he responded while picking up his guitar.

Who is he talking to? The whole day he's been on his phone, making calls, receiving calls, texting. I asked him yesterday when we were back in the hotel who phoned but he just grinned and said I don't have to worry about it and then he left without further explanation. This is very suspicious, he usually tells me everything!

Okay I can't blame him, I haven't said a word about me not talking to Skye for weeks but still, I want to know. I'm a curious guy. If Calum is hiding something I want to know.

"Let's get started on this. I want tonight to be our best performance yet! Luke you have to shine" Calum exclaimed when he got of the phone, pretending like nothing happened. "Okay" I said stretching the 'a' sound while giving him a weird look.

I wonder if he has a secret girlfriend that he doesn't want us to find out about. If that is the case then he is doing a lousy job at hiding it. And why would he want to hide that if that's the reason, we won't be mad at him in fact we'll be happy for him.

The show rocked like all the other we played. The crowds are beyond amazing! Every night they just get better and better and louder than the previous night. I'm surprised that we don't have hearing problems yet.

After the show I grabbed some water and head to the bathroom, I really need a shower. I'm all sweaty after the performance. I love taking showers it's always so relaxing, it's like all my problems are being washed off and is leaving with the water down the drain. It clears my mind.

After I got out and put some clean clothes on I feel brand new and hungry. As I come out of the bathroom I find all the guys sitting there with huge smile on their faces.

What is going on? What did they do? I immediately think that this is some kind of prank and start panicking. Did they put dye in my shampoo? Do I have hair like Michael now? Did they do something to my bed? All the relaxation from the shower is now gone and replaced with fear.

"What did you do?" I ask steadily not wanting them to hear I'm panicking. "We didn't do anything, Luke. We are just waiting for you to finish because we want to go get something to eat" Ashton says getting up from his seat. "We have catering" I said suspiciously, they are up to something.

"Ugh we know here is catering but we want to try out this pizza place I've hear about. Now can we just please go, it's getting late" Calum said taking me by my arm and practically dragging me out the back. I try do resist but Ashton is beside me and Michael at my back. This is it, they are probably going to throw me with eggs or something like that.

As we got out of the building I braced myself for the attack but it didn't come. I opened my eyes and find them all staring at me with smiles on their faces. "Aren't you going to squirt me with water or something?" I ask in disbelieve but I'm still on alert.

They started to laugh at me. Why are they laughing?

"We did not bring you out here to pull a prank on you, dummy! We wanted to surprise you. We thought you'll like it" Calum said. I just looked at them confused. "Look across the street for the love of all the people in the world!" Michael exclaimed pointing across the street.

I can't believe it. Am I seeing things? Oh my word this can't be real!

Skye is standing there smiling at me and waving happily. She's actually here!! I don't even think I just start sprinting towards her, making my way across the road without a second thought.

Suddenly all I hear is tyres screeching and a bright light right next to me. The last thing I see before the pain engulf me and everything turn black, is Skye's shocked face.
