track two: superstar

               “Hit me with the spotlight,” Luke says into his microphone, his deep voice echoing around the empty venue. The four boys were in the middle of a sound check for their next show. Calum was fixing his bass strap as Michael strums his guitar aimlessly from the floor and Ashton sits, waiting for the other boys to give him the cue to start playing. 

“Ah, it’s way too bright,” Luke says, putting his hand out to block the light. 

“It is supposta be bright, superstar,” Calum teases. “All eyes are supposed to be on you.”

Luke grins at him, dimples and all, and then looks at their lighting crew. “Dim it a little, please,” he asks politely. They do as he asks, dimming the spot light a little and Luke nods, silently telling them it was perfect.

Another spotlight hits Calum and he curses, blocking the bright light with this hand. “Fuck, why is it so bright?” 

“Spotlights are supposta be bright,” Luke teases his friend. 

Calum turns to him and smirks. “Shush.”

“Can we finish this so I can go eat?” Michael whines.

“No complaining,” Ashton scolds him, hitting his drums. 

Michael sighs and rolls his eyes. “Can we just do this, please?”

Luke nods and turns to Ashton. “Let’s check Out of My Limit,” he tells Ashton, who nods.

Michael stands from his seat on the floor as Ashton counts down from three as he hits his drumsticks together. Luke walks over to his microphone, adjusting it to his height before he starts singing the first verse into the empty venue.

dear luke,

hope you liked the last song. i thought it fit you nicely. anyway, here’s the next song. 

this song is just the general, teenage girl having a huge crush on a big famous person, kind of song. that being said, it would probably define the majority of the internet world. it’s just one of those songs that makes you smile because even if you’ve never had a huge crush/obsession/dedication to a singer/actor, you can relate. that doesn’t even make sense, but you know what i mean. but, this starts the songs that remind me of why i adore you, luke hemmings. so to kick it off, i’m going to talk about two things; your smile and your voice. 

so your smile, your smile that makes all the girls in the front row scream so loud. you honestly have one of the cutest smiles, luke. it’s just you and your dimples and sometimes when you giggle and your whole face lights up my world lights up and it’s like a million stars shining in the night sky and i just can’t get over it. and when you smile, laughing with all your perfectly straight teeth showing and you scrunch your nose in that adorable way that you do, it makes my heart melt.

now, let’s talk about your voice, what makes you a superstar. i don’t know what it is that makes me melt about your voice, but it does. maybe it’s the fact that when you talk your voice is so deep and sometimes you talk in a funny voice and your accent is heaven; and we can’t forget your singing voice. 

i think my favorite vocals you’ve ever done is when you boys covered i miss you by blink-182. they’re one of my favorite bands, too, and the cover completely did their justice and it just sounded so good and your voice, luke, it’s like an angel (that was not meant to be a song lyric pun). you have one of those voices that could sing a phone book and it would still be a hit. your voice is just so unique and i just wish i could hear you sing me to sleep, even if that sounds creepy or weird. but i know that would never happen because i’m not special. i’m just another girl who adores you, the millions of others.

but i guess i just hope that you smile that smile that stops hearts and makes butterflies erupt in my stomach when you listen to this song.

“and you’ll never see, you sing me to sleep

every night from the radio

so dim that spotlight, tell me things like

i can't take my eyes off of you

i’m no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

who’s desperately in love with you

give me a photograph to hang on my wall

superstar

sweet, sweet superstar.”

hope you like it. i love you, a lot.

thinking of you,

ellie carter
