"He did what?" I yelled angrily.

"He cheated on me." she repeated, looking at the ground.

"Then why the fuck are we here?" I asked, my hands forming into fists.

"I didn't want to turn down my parents' gift and I knew Luke was going to be opening act so I invited you to come because of that." She sighed.

"I'm sure your parents would've understood and me, forget about me. I'm the last person you should be worrying about." I told her. "Let's go."

"No, I want to stay. I've decided that I want to talk to him." Miranda nodded.

"What? You can't." I disagreed. " Why would you want to talk to him after he cheated on you?"

"Because I have a feeling deep down inside that he has an explanation for what he did." She explained fidgeting with her fingers. "I also feel that if I can listen to him, if he has anything to say, that I will be able to forgive him."

"Fine, okay. If that's what you want to do, I'll be here supporting you." I smiled. "But if he does anything and I mean anything to hurt you, I won't hesitate to kill him."

She laughed slightly and focused her eyes back on the stage. I tapped her shoulder and she turned toward me.

"Is he any good?" I asked and she nodded. She looked behind me and motioned for me to turn. I saw Luke standing behind the side of the stage and he gestured for me to head over.

"Go." Miranda nodded.

"I can't leave you here." I shook my head.

"Go, you're already on the other side of the railing." she smiled. "I'll be fine. I'll text you when it finishes."

"Are you sure?" I asked. I didn't want to leave her but I also wanted to go with Luke.

"Yes, now go." She waved her hands.

"Come with me. I'm sure Luke wouldn't mind." I jumped at the thought.

"No, I don't want to be a problem." She sighed.

"You're never a problem." I disagreed. "Now lets go."

"I don't want to. It's fine just go." She sighed, again.

"Fine. Text you later." I frowned walking away.

"Finally, why'd you leave like that?" Luke asked as I reached him.

"I was right. She needed me." I sighed.

"Why, what happened?" He asked as we began walking back to the dressing rooms.

"Problems with Harry." was all I said.

"What did he do to her?" He asked curiously.

"Nothing." I dismissed him. He knew that I didn't want to talk about it and so he nodded. We walked into the dressing room where the boys were sitting on the couch on their phones.

"By the way do you think that I can, possibly see your phone?" He scratched the back of his neck.

"Why?" I asked unlocking it. I hadn't noticed that I had received text messages.

"Just let me see it please?" He rushed.

"Sure just let see these text messages." I responded.

"No I need to see it now." He urged.

"Hold on a sec, Luke." I said clicking on the messaging app. I was surprised to see that they were from Luke. I looked up at him confused and he was a bit more red. He jumped slightly when I bursted out laughing.
