Chapter Twenty Four ~ Lost Boy ~

*Luke POV*

I play the chords of a new song on my guitar and I look out at the horizon that showed all the flashing lights of the city. I hum the melody of the song until I hear someone behind me. Turning around Elena stood there. She doesn’t look at me but she looks out at the city. I was on the roof of the hotel where I thought that no one could find me; I guess I was wrong. Elena sits next to me and she doesn’t say a word. I notice that she was crying but I didn’t question why. We both sat there looking out at the city and we don’t say a word to each other. After what seemed forever Elena spoke up.

“Harry broke up with me. He said that he needed someone who would fulfil his needs of sex. I don’t know if this is forever or just like our other breakups.”  I look over at her to see tears running down her face and she was trying not to look at me. I sigh and look out to the city. “Are you going to say anything?” I shake my head and continue to look out at the city lights. Elena stands up and was about to walk away but instead she stradles my lap and looks into my eyes. I swear she could see my soul. “You are such a asshole you know that right?”

“How am I an asshole?” She sighs and gets off my lap. She starts to walk away and I look at her walk to the door. She stops walking and looks back at me.

“Because when I asked Ashton where you were I hoped that when I found you that you would hold me and tell me that everything would be ok. I was wishing that you would show me that kind of love that only happens in books. I guess I was wrong about you. You’re just like every other guy I have ever met.” She sighs and I look at her with tears in my eyes. “Goodbye Luke. I hope the rest of the tour is everything you wish for.” And then she leaves.

 

The next day after thinking all night I try to look for Elena. I needed to be that guy she wanted me to be. I wanted to hold her in my arms and tell her everything would be fine. I see Harry talking to the tour manager and I run over to him. I ask him where Elena was and he sighs. “Luke, we broke up for good this time. She left last night.” I take a moment to get his words wrapped around my head. She left. That’s why she wanted me to be with her. Fuck. I nod my head and see Gemma talking to Ashton. I roll my eyes and walk over to the two of them. I tap Gemma’s shoulder and she turns around smiling at me.

“You need something Luke?” I nod my head and tell Ashton to fuck off.

“Can you give me Elena’s number?” Gemma looks at me wide eyed but nods her head. She writes down the number on the palm of my hand and I run off to make the phone call. I sit on the very top row of the stadium and put the phone to my ear hoping that Elena would answer. After three rings I was starting to lose hope. But then I hear her beautiful voice.

“Hello?” I was speechless but then I realized that if I didn’t say anything back she would hang up.

“Elena? It’s Luke.” I wait for her to speak up but instead I hear her sigh.

“What do you want Luke? How did you even get my number?”

“I asked Gemma for it. I just really needed to clear up things with you. Last night you were right, I was an asshole to you.”

“Luke do you need something? My plane is about to leave in about an hour.”

“Wait you’re still here?”

“No. I’m leaving to South Africa to visit a friend but I’m in London right now.”

“Oh, well I just wanted to tell you that I do want to be that guy for you. The one that will hold you when you cry or the one who holds when you’re happy. I want to be the one who makes you happy, mad, or sad. I want to be the one to hold you at night and kiss you and tell you that I love you. I know that you might not want that from me but I want it. Elena I love you and want to be the one for you. I want to be your forever and always. It might sound really corny and you maybe could be laughing at me about all the things I’m saying to you. It also maybe crazy that I’m saying that I love you because we just met like what a month ago? But I know that you are the one for me Elena.” Tears were running down my face and I was trying to keep a smile on my face.

“I have to go Luke.” Elena whispers in a small voice. That was when I knew that it was over. Even if it never started it was over.

“Ok.”

“Goodbye Luke.” She hangs up her phone and I look at the large stadium. I was lost.

 

Looking out into the large crowd of people I start to follow Michael's lead of what song to play. Lost Boy. I sigh, but keep a smile on my face. The girls sing along and smile. But I knew that I was singing this song with every wanting in my body. I was a lost boy without Elena.

“I can't remember the last time I saw your face

I feel so lonely when I'm in a crowded space

You left with me without direction

'Cause I've been from place to place

Trying to bring you back

I've walked for days and days

'Cause I can't face the fact

That nothing is better than you”I keep singing with the other boys and I keep a smile on my face even when I knew that I felt lonely and I was full of pain. After the concert I tell the boys that I was going to go out for a walk. As I walked around the city I was grateful that no one recognized me. Walking into a drugstore I look around and come across a hair dye box. I look at it and pick it up. I walk to the cashier and buy the hair dye. Walking out of the drugstore I walk to a gas station. I buy a pack of cigarettes and then ask where the bathroom was. The old lady gives me the keys and I walk outside to where the bathroom was. I wash my hair and apply the hair dye. Washing out all the hair dye out I look in the mirror to see that my once dirty blonde hair was now jet black. I dry my hair and go back into the store. I give the lady back the key and walk out into the the city. Lighting up a cigarette I take a long drag from it and walk around until it was two in morning and I needed to go back to the hotel. Walking into my room and collapse on my bed and sigh. Fuck Life.

 

“HOLY SHIT! LUKE DYED HIS FUCKING HAIR! THE WORLD HAS FUCKING ENDED!” I open my eyes to see the boys hovering over me looking at my new hair. Michael looks at me shocked and I roll my eyes.  I sit up and look around the room to see the boys still looking at me waiting for an explanation. I get off the bed and walk to the bathroom. I look at my hair to see the it was still jet black. Now with more light you could see all the pain in my eyes. Walking back out I see the boys with the hair stylist Lou. She sighs and looks at my new black hair. I get dragged to her room and the boys tell her to dye my hair back to blonde. I push past them and look at them.

“Shut up would you? I like my new hair so shut up about it.” They all look at me amazed but nod their heads.  The rest of the day was people shocked about my new look at I had a cold reaction with everyone. After a long day of people trying to get me to be happy I go into the bus onto my bunk and sleep. Just sleep. Because with sleep the world stops even if it’s just for a little bit.

I get waken up by my phone ringing and I groan answering it.

“Hello? Luke.”

“Hey there Lost Boy.” Elena.
