Say It If It's Worth Saving Me

26. One Direction

 We were reaching the end of the school year and the boys were playing shows almost every weekend. It was amazing watching the crowds grow and grow. The Hot Chelle Rae tour was incredible and Ryon and I were able to get backstage access to all of the shows.

As the band's unofficial photographer, I started practicing a lot more and Liz was even helping me get better at taking pictures and various shots.

Aleisha was never able to make it to the shows so I was able to pull Luke around corners and kiss him until we were both whimpering. It didn't make much sense how we were able to affect each other so much but it just seemed that every time I kissed him, my body would ignite.

That sounds so messed up.

Luke had yet to break up with her but I felt like maybe she knew. She seemed to be distancing herself from Luke and while part of me felt bad, the majority felt satisfied that I had Luke now.

"I'm breaking up with Aleisha."

I looked up from my notebook, filled with notes about punnet squares and looked at him, "What?"

"I can't do this anymore, I'm breaking up with her today during lunch," he told me.

I nodded my head slowly, "Okay."

During lunch, I sat with Michael and the team while Luke went to end things with Aleisha. It became pretty obvious to everyone that Luke and I were slowly pulling each other in again.

We could see the two of them talking, Aleisha gesturing wildly with her hands and Luke trying to sink in on himself. It was very obvious that he wasn't having a good time doing this. He said something to her before she sighed, they hugged, and she walked away. Luke looked like a dead man walking as he came back over to our table.

"You break up with her?" Michael asked.

"Yeah," he sighed.

Calum nodded his head slowly and Ryon flashed me a look before I stared down at my phone. We were all pretty quiet after that.

It was two in the morning when my phone went off.

I groaned and rolled over to pick the device off of my night stand to see who it was. It was Ryon. The picture was her and Calum kissing from a date that they went on and Ryon had sent me the picture crying because it was so cute and Calum's sister had taken it since she was a chaperone.

I tapped the green button and slid it outward before holding my phone up to my ear.

"What?" I mumbled.

"JAI OH MY GOD!!" Ryon screeched.

I held my phone away from my ear and groaned, "Is this you telling me that you lost your virginity?"

"What the fuck?" Ryon exclaimed. "No!"

"Then why call me at two at night?" I replied.

"THE GUYS GOT NOTICED BY ONE DIRECTION!!!"

I was dead ass awake now.

"What?"

"Calum just called me to tell me that the band got a tweet from Louis Tomlinson!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"H-how?" I mumbled, sitting up.

"I don't know but the band is trending on twitter!" She squealed. "They're gonna be so famous!"

Then it hit me.

"Twenty-twelve is the year that everything for the boys changed, the band takes off and it gets huge and we partied it up and lived like kings..."

This was that moment that Michael had been talking about, when the band takes off. My mind went reeling with all of the possibilities, all of the things that could have happened to them.

"You have no idea," I mumbled.

"What does that mean?" Ryon asked.

I realized what I had said and shook my head, "They have so much potential, you know? If Louis from One Direction noticed it then the world is going to notice it."

"Oh, right," Ryon giggled. "I'm so happy for them."

"Me too," I smiled.

My heart was already sinking.
