[michaelgc]: lukehemmings has sent you a direct message!
Michael groggily stares at the screen for a few seconds before fully understanding what it says. Once he does, he sits up so fast that he almost falls out of bed. It's 12:30 a.m. and Michael knows he has to wake up early in the morning to take his daughters to their best friends birthday party, but knowing that Luke is awake right now and talking to him makes him forget all about that.
He lets out a shaky breath as he unlocks his phone, messing up the passcode at least five times, 070912, the girls birthday. He taps the Instagram icon and waits for his D.M's to load. Once they do, Luke's username appears at the very top. Michael clicks on it shakily, scared of what might happen.
[12:28] lukehemmings: Hey mike, my record producer/manager/best friend Calum showed me the E-mail you sent him, and of course I followed you right away! Sorry it took me a little while to message you, I've just been busy in the studio working on an album I'm about to release. I hope you are doing well and I am so happy that you decided to E-mail Calum. I'm not sure where you live anymore so I don't know what time it is where you are, sorry if I woke you or something. Talk to you soon, xx.
Michael takes a quick minute to compose himself before responding to him.
[12:36] michaelgc: hi lucas! it's fine, i'm sure you are very very busy with work, as am i. i hope you don't mind that i basically searched the internet for calum's e-mail address, but i really wanted to get in touch with you. after so many years of not hearing much about you, your song came on on the music video channel and i almost shit myself (not even kidding). i'm glad to see your dreams are coming true, luke, i always new you would make it big. oh, and i almost forgot i live in colorado now, not too far from los angeles, but for sure a long way from aus. you might've woken me, but it's fine. i'd much rather be talking to you than sleeping, hope everything is going good for you. i miss you, xx.

[12:39] lukehemmings: Aw, no kidding you're in Colorado?! I've been wanting to go there since I moved out to the states but still haven't gotten around to that. Also, don't worry about being a crazy stalker, I've been trying to find you forever but your so old that you don't have social media :-( I'm assuming all these accounts you have are new!
[12:41] lukehemmings: Also thank you for saying that stuff about the music, I know it was hard when I left and then I didn't even release anything for like ten fucking years!!!! If I were you I would of hunted me down by now and killed me. Also you said you're busy with work, what do you do?

[12:48] lukehemmings: Wow Mike, that sounds awesome! You always did have good fashion sense, unlike me. Well, I have to get going to bed; I have an early ass recording session tomorrow. It was really nice speaking to you. Hopefully we can talk more soon!
[12:49] michaelgc: okay, thank you for messaging me. goodnight lucas, sweet dreams xx.

Michael hasn't smiled so big in almost ten years.
