You Chose Mine

Epilogue

My early mornings consist of me daydreaming and remebering painful memories. I put on my happy face as I meet my old friends and my family, I just want to be happy. But, happy isn't the same without Luke, without Ashton, without any of them. It's been a month an a half, and this has been the saddest I've felt and it's beginning to break to the surface. My mum's catching on, my dad can hear it in my voice appareantly. 

I heard a soft chime come from my phone. It flipped it over to see I had a email, I never usually get emails this late unless it's from overseas stores. I slid open my phone as began to read it.

'Hey Shannon,

I'm not really sure what to put here because this is a message from all of us. A good place to start would be, we miss you. We miss you. We miss your cooking, we miss our random group dates, we miss your nice smelling apartment (some more than others). It's nearly been two months and Cal and I were wondering how you were going? If you'd seen any changes in yourself? or to your town (that you still have yet to tell us about). I'm babbling, I know I am. I never really know what to put in an email, I always think they should be longer than they usually are. Anyways, we have good news. We're releasing our EP soon and we have more UK shows and we're touring America and Canada soon. I know you like hearing about what we do, so there's a little update for you. We really want to see you, especially Luke. Your still a touchy subject around here, but it's getting better now that two months is nearly up. I hope you go back to Sydney soon, Derek and I were talking and he really misses you too. I'm still babbling. Okay, so... if you haven't noticed there's something attached to this and before you decline it, please give the decision a really long think. We all want to see you. 

Ash x'

This guy has good timing and bad timing. I took a deep breath before tapping the attachment. I found my mouth drop open slightly.

"A plane ticket..." I whispered.

*Luke's P.O.V*

I strummed my guitar as I looking into the empty arena. I can hear what's going on and these chords are like second nature to me now. But, looking out there... All I can think of is Shannon again.

"I'm not fine at all..." I stopped again.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

"Wrong song" Michael said.

Knowing Ashton sent that email messed me up, knowing she could be reading it or even worse ignoring it, and it kills me.

"You were doing so well" Calum said as everything came to a hault. I hung my head as I took my guitar off.

"I just need a break" I mumbled.

"I told you not to tell him" I heard Michael whisper.

"I'm sad either way Mike"

I can tell everyone is getting sick of my mood, sick of me being so droopy and annoyed. I can turn it off sometimes but other times its like a shadow that hangs over me. I walked into the dressing room and sat on the couch. I rubbed my eyes as I leant back groaning to myself. I'm getting annoyed with myself, almost angry at myself for acting the way I am. I got to my feet and dragged them across the floor to my phone charging. My heart flew up into my throat when I saw her name on my screen. It feels like months since I've seen her name. I had a voice mail from her, maybe it's about the email. I knew I should've read it before Ashton sent it. I dialed voice mail and held the phone to my ear, only to hear her melodic voice. 

"Hey" she began with a sigh.

"I know Ashton was the one who sent the email but I thought I should call you" she sounded sad, just as sad as me.

"I really miss you guys too and I'm really happy to hear about your EP" I felt a faint smile spread across my face.

"And ummm... with the ticket" she said, she's going to reject it. I can hear it in her voice, I was stupid to suggest it. I hear the sound of a machine turning on in the background. 

"I'll see you in three weeks"

*Authors Note*
Now, it's officially the end.

I haven't decided whether or not to keep going with this one because I've ran out of ideas. But, I've added this bit so once I've got some free time I have this to think about  :)
