Fate || Luke Hemmings || ON HOLD

Chapter 1

☻Luke’s POV ☻

Today is our first show of the tour. “You guys are on in 5 minutes!” I hear John yell from the other side of the door. I grabbed my guitar, making sure it’s still in tune. I sat down on the couch, checking the time on the clock. 4 minutes until we hit the stage. I pulled out my phone, typing in my passcode. Going to my messages, I decided to text Avery. 

Me: Just about to go on stage. Miss you :-)

She messaged back almost immediately. Like she was watching her phone, waiting for me to call. 

Avery: you're gonna kill it :) Miss you, too

"1 minute, let's go!" John says, rushing us out the door. I  and peek out the curtains. The venue is nearly packed with screaming girls, calling our names. "3....2.....1...go!" John whisper shouts. I run up on stage; the boys right behind me. The crowd starts screaming as we grab our guitars, walking to the front of the stage. 

"Good evening Glasglow!" I yell into the microphone, making the crowd scream even louder than before. 

"The first song we are going to sing tonight is one of our older songs called Beside You." I start strumming the chords along with Michael and Calum. 

"Within a minute I was all packed up..." Calum starts singing and the crowd sings along, holding up their phones.

"Thank you, Glasglow! Goodnight!" We all say into the microphone and run off the stage to our dressing rooms.

"Feels good to be back on stage," michael says, sitting beside me on the couch.

"Sure does." I say, staring at Avery’s last message I got before I went on stage. 

“Really miss her eh?” Michael says, putting his hand on my shoulder. I just shrug it off, putting my phone in my pocket.

“Of course. She’s always been here with me; never leaving my side.” I stand up and grab my sweater, putting it on.

“Let’s head back to the bus. It’s getting late and we have a show tomorrow.” We pack everything back into the tour bus, meeting some fans in the process.

“Okay girls, we really need to go. We’ll be back soon!” Ashton says and we blow kisses to them, climbing into the bus.

“Who’s hungry?” Cal asks, walking over to the small kitchen we have here.

“Me,” we chorus, sitting down on the couch; Michael turning on the TV. 

“What are you up to?” I jump and turn my gaze to the doorway where Ashton is standing, looking at me.

“Nothing.” He walks over, sitting down on the other end of the bed.

“It’s only 8 months, Luke. It’s not like you’re never going to see her again. Plus, you can still text, call, and skype.” I sigh, sitting up a little.

“I know, I know.” He always gives me the same lecture so, I’m used to it. 

“anyways, we have a radio interview tomorrow in the morning.” Ashton changes the subject, standing up from my bed.

“Okay.” He turns around, walking out the door. I sigh, looking at the time; 10pm. I picked up my phone from the bed, going to my messages. 

Me: Goodnight :-) 

I sat there waiting for her to text back, so I can get some sleep. 

Avery: Night :) xo
