"HEY GUYS!" Ashton cheered as he was recording himself on instagram, "We just finished performing at Royal Oaks, and you guys were awesome!" The guys started cheering and yelling while I was sitting on the coach, laughing at their craziness. When Ashton stopped recording, he said, "We should introduce Lani."

"Yeah," Calum agreed, "The crowed loved you last night!"

"Seriously, you were rocking it out there!" Michael continued, "You even nailed Luke's guitar solo for Out of my Limit!"

I shrugged, "I think I did pretty good."

So here's a little recap:

I stayed at the back for the first song till it ended and Luke was ready to apologize about his hand.
"So," Luke said as he put his mic on the stand, "If you haven't noticed, but uh-" he chuckled, and lifted up his injured hand, "Something happened." A lot of the girls gasped, and Luke sighed, "I know, I know. I'm an idiot." We all started laughing, and the guys and I started shaking our heads at him. "A friend of mine told me to apologize to you guys. So, I'm sorry about this accident. I was really stupid, and it's my fault that I can't play to night. I'm really sorry." A lot of girls started screaming and yelling it's okay and we still love you.
Luke chuckled, "You guys are amazing." then turned around to face me, and took the mic, "Let me introduce you the guitar player for tonight." He took out his non injured head to let me hold on to. When I grabbed his hand, he pulled me center stage next to him and introduced me, "This is Lani. You guys know her as our personal photographer but for tonight, she's a guitar playing rock star!" "Show some love to Lani!" Ashton cheered as started hitting his drumsticks together and the crowed cheered.
"You guys ready for the next song?!" Calum asked and the crowed went wild.
Luke whispered to my ear, "Good girls are bad girls."
I nodded, and started playing.

We reached towards the end, and the last song was She Looks So Perfect.
"LANI!" I heard Calum called to me when Luke was started his solo. I came to him, and he said close to my ear, and told me to do something pretty literal and fun. I nodded and started playing the chorus. As I walked closer to Luke, he was looking at me smiling.
As the next lyric was about to start, I kissed his cheek, and his face was stunned then realized why I did when he sang, "Your lipstick stain is a work of art." Luke faced his cheek towards the crowed when he sang it, and the crowed started cheering while me, and the guys started laughing.

Yeah, performing with the guys was awesome.

Recap over:

Luke took Ashton's phone, and started recording, "A massive thanks to our awesome guitarist for the night, Lani." The guys started cheering as Luke faced the camera towards me and I smiled, waving, "Thank you for an awesome night guys! It was fun!"
He stopped recording, gave the phone back, and plopped next to me on the coach, "Whew, what a night. That was fun, Lani." He put his arm around me, and I nodded, "Yeah, it was."
"What that kiss on the cheek on purpose?" He grinned at me, and I nodded, "Yeah. It was Calum's idea since I'm wearing red lipstick."

Calum raised his eyebrows at us, and smiled, "You are very welcome, Lucas." We started laughing till Calum yawed, "I'm gonna hit the hay. Today was a pretty stressful day." Ashton and Michael agreed as they finished recording the rest of the video, and head to the bunks, leaving Luke and I alone as always.

I got up, "I gotta take off this make up." I walked to the bathrooms with my usual bathroom things, and got ready for bed.

When I walked out, I see Luke taking selfies on my phone.
"You know," I walked up to him, took my phone, and sat next to him, "Just because you're good looking, doesn't mean it's an excuse to take selfies."

"You think I'm good looking?" Luke chuckled as he put his arm around me.

"Who doesn't?" I joked as I was looking through my phone, and saw this ridiculous derpy picture of him, "But I don't think this pic is your finest one." I showed Luke the pic, and he chuckled, "I can't be good looking all the time you know."

"Uh-huh, whatever you say, hemmings."

Then Luke took out his phone, and put it front of us, smiling, "SAY CHEESE!" So, we ended up taking a bunch of pictures together. His arm was still around my shoulder, while our faces would be so close together.

"Stoop!" I whined, and put my hands on my cheek, "Too much smiling. My cheeks are starting to hurt!"

Luke started chuckling, and grinned, "Just a couple more."

"You know what couple means, right?" I raised my eye brows at him, and he nodded, "Just because I hurt my hand doesn't make me a huge idiot."

"Yeah, but it still proves your an idiot." I joked and Luke rolled his eyes at me, smiling.

"Just a couple more, and that's it!" I said, "Cause I'm getting tired."

"You're tired?" He said, and then all of the sudden, he came close to my face, resting his forehead against mine.

"Yes, now take the pictures, lover boy." I smiled and he smiled back at me, "Hold on, I like staying like this for a bit."

"Why? You're so close to me."

"Exactly." Luke gave me that dazed smile again, and this time, I smiled back. His face so close to mine. Luke played with his lip ring as he usual does which drives me crazy.

"Comfy?" I bit my lip at him and Luke smirked, "More than ever."

After that, he scooted away, looking at his phone, "That's one pic." and showed it to me.

I looked at his phone, and my heart fluttered when I saw the pic. It was just Luke and me, doing those stupid daze smiles at each other. So close, and so real. "Like it?" Luke grinned as he looked at it, and I nodded, "Most definitely. Okay," I coughed, "One more pic. That's it."

"I'll make it count." Luke said as he put the camera in front of us, and when I faced the camera, I said, "What are we doing?"

Out of nowhere, Luke kissed my cheek. Then rest his forehead against my head, whispering close to my ear, "Thank you again for today."

I looked at him, and his face was so close to mine again. Why is that when we're alone together, we get closer and closer...literally.

"Enjoying the view?" Luke grinned at me, and I bite my bottom lip, "Maybe. Is that the second pic?"

He rest his head on my shoulder to look at the pic, and yeah, it's a picture of Luke kissing my cheek.

"Post that and I think your fans will kill me." I said, and Luke scoffed, "Nah, I think the fans loves you after tonight."

"Speaking of night." I shrugged him off my shoulder, "Time to sleep. Another performance, and that hand should be healed!" I light patted his injured hand.

He sighed, standing up, "Fine." I stood up with him, and looked at my wrist, "Oh, the bracelets." and sucked in my breathe. Shit. The scares. Okay, so I've been the master of hiding them since I wear hoodies, and when I don't, I keep my arm crossed.

"Uh," Luke said as he yawed, "You can hold on to them. I think I'm gonna knock out. Night, Malulani. Sleep tight."

I let out a breathe of relief, and said, "Yeah, night, Hemmings."

I took off the bracelets and sighed as I was lightly touching the scares.

"Please take care of yourself, promise?" I hear Leo's voice inside my mind. I kissed my scares, and whispered, "I promise."

I put on a sweater, just in case one of the guys decided to tackle me since they already done it before. It was a close call but I managed to hide it. I don't want them to pity me. I don't want anyone to. Things are getting better, and there's no reason to cut anymore.
