Calum-

Every time we get this close
It's always pulling us apart

"Don't look now, but I believe that is (Y/N) standing over there." Luke gestured with his drink to behind me. I turned slightly to see her standing by the bar. Her friend was talking to her but she was staring at me.

I made my way to the bar, just a little ways away from her, and ordered another drink. (Y/N) walked up to the spot next to me. "Can I get a raspberry lemon drop, please?" She asked the bartender.

"Put it on my tab, Simon." I told him. He nodded and went to making (Y/N)'s drink. "How are you?"

"I'm doing good," (Y/N) smiled and then started laughing. "Really? That's the first thing you ask me after not seeing me for three weeks?"

I chuckled and turned to face her. "Alright, how was your trip?"

"Amazing," she turned slightly to grab her new drink. "Pompeii was beautiful, obviously despite being destroyed by Vesuvius. The history there though is just fascinating!"

I smiled fondly at her as she continued to talk about her trip to Italy and the history she learned.

"I'm sorry," she blushed.

I shook my head. "I've loved how passionate you are about history."

She opened her mouth to say something but her friend grabbed her hand and pulled her away. She smiled at me apologetically as she vanished into the crowd. I sighed and downed my drink. Luke walked up to me.

"Are you two ever going to catch a break?" Luke shook his head. "Maybe, you should just move on."

I shook my head. "We'll catch a break on of these days. Until then, I will text her as much as possible."

Right on cue, my phone buzzed. Looking at the ID, I smiled as I replied to (Y/N).

Ashton-

Stay close and hold steady
'Cause I don't want it, don't want it to end

"I had a wonderful night Ashton," (Y/N) smiled at me as we sat on a bench facing the skating pond. "Seriously, this was probably the best date, I have ever had."

"Despite me constantly falling on my ass?" I chuckled while I wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She leans into my side and lays her head on my shoulders. "I don't want this to end."

I felt her sigh. "I don't either but you're fixing to go on tour and I am fixing to go back home. We decided it was for the best that we don't make us an official thing."

I nodded. "Can I see you when we get to your area?"

"I was always planning on it."

I smiled and kissed her forehead. "At least we have tonight." I held her tightly against me as we watched the other couples skating and enjoying their relationships that were most likely not ending that night.

Luke-

Don't give up, and don't let me
'Cause I'm needing you to understand

I sighed as I looked at the views my latest video got.

"It's gonna get looked at Luke," (Y/N) told me from her spot on my bed. "It takes time for videos to get a lot of views, unless you are already big on some other social media site. Not to mention the songs you are posting are not completely current hits."

"They are good songs," I muttered and exited out of YouTube. "This is what I want to do with my life. I don't see myself doing anything else."

"Luke, you don't need to explain yourself to me." (Y/N) smiled and reached over to grab my hand. "Whatever you want to do is fine with me. I'm with you no matter what."

"You won't give up on me?"

She shook her head. "I might occasionally talk you into doing something to keep you from being a homeless person, but I'll never give up on you. So don't you ever give up on yourself either, because I think you'll make it."

I kissed her hand and smiled. "Thanks for understanding."

"Of course," she returned my smile. "Have you ever thought of making a band?"

Michael-

I just want a safe place to hide us away
So don't let the tide come and take me

I groaned as I saw the horde surrounding the house. "We'll have to find somewhere else."

"Michael," (Y/N) sighed. "I'm just going to slow you down. You do find a safe place, I'll stay here."

"Not gonna happen," I shook my head and reloaded my gun. "We'll fight through. This is usually the best place for a safe house. You got my back?"

"I always have your back," (Y/N) reloaded her own gun and hid behind a rock for cover. "Let's do this."

I sucked in a breath before moving out of cover and shooting at the walkers. This obviously caught their attention and they started moving to us.

"Michael?" (Y/N) said. "The walkers brought back-up."

I looked behind me to find more walkers heading towards us. "Shit!" (Y/N) started shooting at them while I focused on the group in front of us. "There's too many in this tide."

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" (Y/N) sighed. "I'm dead!" She tossed her controller to the side of her and watched me get gang up on.

"We were almost there!" I groaned in frustration as the words 'GAME OVER' flashed on the screen.

"I swear this game adds more and more to it every time we redo this level." (Y/N) took a drink of her beer and then grabbed a piece of pizza. "Shall we try again?"

I thought about it. "There has got to be something that we missed."

"We passed a cave on the way to the house. Should we check it out this time?" (Y/N) suggested.

"Might as well, what have we got to lose?" I chuckled and restarted the level.

I don't have a chapter question for you this time!
