That Boy With The Beanie

Tours with Bands

The next day, me and Luke meet up. We go for a KFC, at around 12pm. Luke looks nice, wearing a plain blue hoodie, skinny jeans (wow, surprise), some converses, and his new black and blue beanie.

“What do you want, babe?” He asks “Um, whatever you’re having?” I say.

“Ok” Luke gets us a bucket and we start eating the chicken and fries. Luke looks quite nervous, and is messing with some wristband he has on, nirvana I think.

“Listen, babe…” He starts, and it doesn’t sound like good news. Luke sighs, bites his lip and puts his hands on his face. I stop eating and just stare at him. He removes his hand, looks into my eyes, and sighs.

“What, Luke?” I ask, curious, but slightly impatient. He looks at our table, tthen back up at me.

“Our band… 5 seconds of Summer… We have-you know that band, um, One Direction?” Luke asks, slightly with a crooked smile.

Oh my god.

“Course!” I squeal, excitedly. I love them! Luke does a cheeky, large grin, then, looks like he remembers something, and his grin fades away.

“Well…” He says, sighs, grins, then sighs yet again “Our band, they saw some of our YouTube covers and songs, and well…” He thinks for a second, or two “They, kind of, offered us…” Bites his lip “To be their opening act”

“Luke that’s brilliant!” I shout, and some people stare at us in the restaurant. He smiles, and then frowns.

“I’ll be gone for about 6 months…” He trails “And I’ll only be back twice, as in home…” He sighs, and holds my hand “We-we can Skype? And text, call and I’m 100% sure that you can come to at least, like, 3 shows? Get to meet the boys, and the One Direction boys?” I am sad, but this is an unbelievable, incredible opportunity for Luke.

“Luke, that’s unbelievable” I say, holding back a tear. I don’t want him to go, I’ll miss him. However, he has to do this.
