"Michael, would you please stop fooling around and walking away from us?! We need to finish this song!" Ashton says in frustration.

"Shut up! I can do whatever I want I'm punk rock!" Michael yells from the hall.

"No! You're not!" Calum shouts.

"Not with your pink cotton candy hair!" Luke throws the pen on the table and leans back in his chair, ruffling up his hair a bit which was already messed up a lot.

"I'M PUNK ROCK AND THAT IS FINAL!" Michael then slams the door to his room as I flinch back at the loud 'bang' it made, echoing throughout the house.

"Oh my god." Ashton groans while rubbing his face, "We are never going to finish this song."

Luke, Calum, Ashton, and Michael have been working on songs for the past few months now and this piece is taking the longest to write.

According to Luke's paper, there are only two lines of lyrics written on it and it has stayed like that for a whole week.

There always seems to be distractions that keeps the boys from writing. They haven't even gotten one-third of the song written down.

Calum was basically looking around while Ashton was trying to figure out multiple rhythms that could fit the song. Luke was picking at his nails and I'm just sitting here trying to take it what has happened ever since the last two hours where we first got here.

"Guys, we've worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now." Ashton starts, breaking the awkward silence between the four of us.

"Too hard?" Luke asks, "We've only written two lines of lyrics! We barely made it through one third of the song!"

"But look around," Calum begins, "At least we've tried, Lucas."

"My name is not Lucas!" Luke whines.

"Wait, wait, wait..." I interrupted, "But look around... We've worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now."

Ashton's eyes widened and he jumped up in his seat, "Holy balls that's perfect!"

"I am perfect." I smirked.

"She looks so perfect," Luke blurts.

I turned my head to face him, "What?"

"What?" He says quickly.

"She looks so perfect," Calum says quietly while writing down the words on his paper and licking his lips.

"I am like so lost right now you don't under-."

"HEY! HEY! HEY!" I hear a voice yell in the hall. Michael appears into the living room wearing nothing but his underwear, "Don't I look perfect standing here in my american apparel underwear?"

"MICHAEL EW!" I grimaced before covering my eyes and leaning into Luke.

"I'M SO DOWN!" Michael hollers.

"Put on some clothes Mikey! Where are your manners around girls?" Calum says.

Michael takes a quick look at me and flicks his hand, "Who cares about Desi?"

My head shoots up and Luke stands up. "The fuck you just said?!"

"Hey!" I hear Ashton say, "Don't swear!"

"You know what?" Calum stands up, "I'm out." He then grabs his guitar and leaves the house.

"Calum wait!" Ashton calls before running out to catch up with him.

Michael and Luke are just glaring at each other while I'm standing awkwardly on the side.

I point to the door and start to turn on my heel slowly, "I'm just going to-."

"Desi, let's go." Luke says before grabbing my wrist and leading me out of the house.

Well that was unexpected and very, very awkward. But Luke seriously defended me against Michael's bad remark a couple of minutes ago. He was so calm and in a millisecond he snaps. What is going on?

"Will you tell me where we're going now?" I ask for like the billionth time this afternoon.

"Nope." Luke simply responds.

"It feels like we've been walking for an hour!" I groan.

"It's only been twenty minutes, Desi." Luke sighs, holding onto my wrist a little tighter.

"Wait let me guess... We're going to the peach tree?" I say.

There was a moment of silence and Luke shook his head, "Nope."

"Luke! We are going to the peach tree!" I say while stopping in my tracks and removing the blindfold, revealing the familiar tree I've seen for the first time a couple of years ago.

"You ruined the whole surprise!" Luke whines.

"Well, it's not a surprise because I know this place already," I smirk.

"But you don't know my other surprise."

SAY WHAT NOW???!?!!!?!?
