"Jesus," I gasped, talking to one of the staff members name Scott after the concert, "That was crazy!"

Scott chuckled, nodding, "It usually is. The crowd gets so pumped and the guys have so much energy so it's like a party in there. Got some awesome pics?"

I nodded, "Took plenty. I still can't believe I'm part of this tour."

"Yeah, we're pretty lucky to have you around! I've seen your work, and they're pretty awesome. Can't wait to see what you have for us in the future, Lani." Scott patted my back and I smiled, "Thanks!" Then we started to go our separate ways, so I waved at him, "Well, see you tomorrow!"

"See you." Scott waved back and I headed towards the exit to go to the tour bus.

Each foot step I take gets heavier and heavier. Why am I so nervous to see Luke? I mean, we webcammed plenty of times to know what's going on, but for some reason, I have these strange butterflies in my stomach that don't know how to calm down. Was it because Luke and I together now? That's why I'm getting nervous? I don't even know. All I know is that I'm taking my sweet time getting to the exit.

As I was walking, I see Uncle Ben coming out of a room and he smiled at me, "LANI!"

I waved, "Hey you!"

"How was the concert?"

"Out of this world!" I cheered, "It was amazing!"

"That's great to hear!" Uncle Ben patted my arm, "Let me check out those pics!"

I took off my camera, and I lend it to him, "A lot of pics are kind of off but some are pretty good. Just need some tweaking with the lighting, and it'll be ready for posting!"

Uncle Ben nodded of approval, "Definitely. I can tell you've been practicing over the summer."
I nodded, "Yeah, you can say that."

Then out of nowhere, I heard Scott calling my name at the other side of the hall.

"Lani!" He shouted as he was running towards me, "I have your backstage pass!" I turned around, checking my shirt, and pants, then noticed that my pass was gone.

"Oh god," I gasped, and grabbed the pass from Scott, "Thank you! I would probably be screwed for tomorrow if I didn't have it."

"Yeah, but hey! At least I found it!" Scott smiled at me, "Well, see you."

"Bye!" I waved at him and turned around to talk to Uncle Ben, "So.." I said but noticed he disappeared. I crossed my arms and mumbled, "Now where did that asshole go with my camera?"

As I went outside, I see the tour bus already, facing sideways. I smiled, remembering this bus, and sighed, "Wow, long time no see."

I started walking towards to the other side of the bus and noticed this huge sign that says, "WELCOME BACK LANI!!" The sign had a bunch of random scribbles, and drawings of cameras, bananas, and other random doodles here and there.

Then I heard a numerous pops going on that made me jump, screaming, "JESUS."

I turned around and I see Uncle Ben and the guys holding balloons, wearing crazy sunglasses, and they shouted, "SURPRISE."

I can't help but to start laughing, smacked my forehead with hand, groaning, "Even though I still absolutely hate surprises, this is an exception."

Then immediately, my eyes landed right on Luke Hemmings himself. Luke was standing dead center, and man, it's only been a few months, and this boy manages to take my breathe away for the thousandth time of seeing each other in person. Luke was rocking his signature black skinny jeans with a hole on both knees, and a red and black flannel shirt. I see a familiar necklace hanging on his neck, and that signature gazed smile started forming on his mouth.
