The Next Day
(April 18 , 2017)
~Luke's P.O.V~

"So what happened yesterday? Why didn't you come back home?" I ask Ashton, while we're sitting in the studio waiting for the boys and Alex to come.

We ditched school, since it was Kate's last day and today was basically all free periods.
The girls went to her house as a farewell. Alex is really mad about the whole situation, considering Kate was the only person that knew about her problems and the only one she could trust besides Alyssa.

"I went to Alyssa's, and she asked me to stay with her. Her parents were okay with it, so I stayed over and comforted her." He says , his gaze on the floor."You like her. Don't you?" I ask , realising he and Aly both have grown close to each other in the past few weeks.

"No" color rises in his cheeks."Ash.." I say , wiggling my eyebrows, even though he can't see me."Okay , maybe . But it's still a crush. Like I can't even make a move right now. Mostly that she just got her heart broken." He says , resting his elbows on his knees.

"Who got their heart broken?" Calum's voice, pierces through the room. Mike following him , carrying a bag of chips.
"Aly" I say , grinning towards the boy with curls.

"What about Aly?" Mike asks , stuffing chips onto his mouth." Well little mister curly hair has a few secrets" I say , teasingly.
"It's just Alyssa" Ashton says, covering his face with his hands.

"What happened to Alyssa?" Alex's voice startle us. She walks towards me , pecking my lips , before sitting down next to me.
"Alex you look pale" I say , stroking her back. "I felt sick" I nod , kissing her cheek.
"What were you saying about Aly?" She asks again, her eyebrows furrowed.

"I like Alyssa , okay." Ashton yells , causing
Alex to grin."What?" I ask her , turning my attention to her." You should ask her out!"
"What?! What kind of a friend are you?!" Ashton answers, his voice filled with annoyance and confusion.
"The good one. Trust me and ask her out" Alex says , confidently.
"No"
"Ash. If you don't I will"
"No"
"ASHTON FLETCHER IRWIN, ASK ALYSSA OUT!" She practically yells , throwing a pillow towards his direction.
"Okay , I better not regret this" he says, grabbing his phone and calling Aly.

"We'll go on a triple date." Mike says , taking out his phone calling Jane.

"What did they say?" Alex asks excitedly.
"Jane said yes"
"Aly said yes"
"Perfect" a grin , splattered all over my little sunshine's face.

I can't help but to stare at her. She dazzles me.

How can something so beautiful, be real?

"Luke I'm craving fish" she nags , tugging at my sleeve.
"But you hate fish" I say, remembering all the times she's said she's not hungry because there's fish.
"I know. But I've been craving it for the past 2 days" I raise my eyebrows, she rolls her eyes and looks at Mike."Also ,I'm really hungry. Give me that bag Clifford" Mike hands her the bag , she takes a handful and stuffs it in her mouth."All yours, there's more in the kitchen." Calum stands up and walks to the kitchen, and comes back with a few more bags.

Alex has been eating more than usual, for 2 days and getting random cravings. I also noticed she's been getting sick ,on car rides.
Today she almost threw up on the car ride to school, and totally threw up in a bag on our way here.

Let's just hope it's the flu, nothing serious..

I feel my phone vibrate. I take it out seeing I have a message from Paul , asking for a video call with the band .

I grab the laptop from the table next to me and turn it on." Video call with Paul" I tell the boys , as they move closer and sit behind the screen.

The screen turns white , then changes back to color, revealing the middle aged man.
"Hello boys , hello Alex." He waves , a smile on his face."Hi Paul." We chorus back.

"So I will make this quick , since I have work waiting for me. Boys I need you to come here to Australia on Sunday." He takes a paper , and scans it before continuing.
"You will be doing a few acoustic shows, interviews, a few modeling gigs and preparing for the next tour."
"When will we be back?" Calum asks.
"Mid June."
"Do I have to go?" Alex asks.
"No Alex. You might need to visit once or twice"
"Okay , good."
"Do I have to be there?" I asks, praying he says no.
"Yes Luke. You have to be there"
"I'm still not going" I say determined.
"Luke it's obligatory​" Paul's voice is stern , but it's not phasing me.
"I don't care I'm not going"
"Luke you're throwing your career on the line here" he raises his eyebrows,
"Luke please let's just talk" Alex touches my arm , talking to me softly.
Ashton steps in and says"Paul , please just give us some time."
"Okay, but I swear Luke , if you're not on the boarding plane Sunday you will have some serious consequences." His voice is strict and mad. He doesn't even say goodbye, before hanging up.

"Luke you have to go" Alex says , her hand still on my arm.
"I don't want to leave , so I'm staying."
"But Luke . We've done this before. You leaving"
"Yeah , but not for 3 months" I say , slightly annoyed.
"Luke you heard Paul. I might visit"
"Yeah that's what he said , but I want to stay behind"
"Luke we can call and video chat . What the heck? It's like we've never been here before" she says , annoyed..
"I'm not going and that's it." I stand up and storm off, upstairs. Making my way to the backyard.

I lay on the grass , till Alex joins me, sitting next to me. I wrap my arm around her shoulder, pulling her towards me.

"I'm sorry. It's just I don't want you to disappoint your fans because of me. They already hate me , and they'd hate me more for this. Also you'll lose your job I don't want you to lose your job or get in trouble because of me." Her voice is soft , and sorry. I kiss the top of her head , drawing circles on her arm with my thumb.
"Alex, I want to stay behind because I have my reasons. I don't want to go." I say , looking at her.
"I'm going to keep on trying to convince you" her eyes look up , locking with mine.
"I know. It won't work." I answer, a grin on my face.

I'm staying here and there's nothing that can change my mind.

If I think what I think is going on with Alex , I'm not leaving her behind.

The Next Day
Alex's P.O.V

Today the triple date was great. Jane and Mike already have been hitting it off for a while , so it was already expected.

Alyssa and Ashton were cute. Aly told them about breaking up with Loui , but that the entire part of cheating hurt her. They were cute together, and he asked her out again.

Luke is still convinced about staying and I have no idea on what to do.

I also seem to have the flu , since I've been getting sick and dizzy a lot. I just hope it's the flu.
