(Steph's outfit on the side.)

Steph's POV

I step off the plane, cameras going wild.

"What is going on with your new relationship status?" A TMZ reporter yells.

"Logan and I broke up on mutual terms. We are still good friends." I say, smiling at the reporter. Little did they know, that on the inside I was broken. 

What if Luke is happy with Rose? What if he has totally forgotten about me?

My phone rings. Harry.

"Hey." I mumble, getting into the black Jeep.

"Are you in London? Have you broken up with Logan?" He asks. 

I roll my eyes. "Does it literally get out that quickly?"

"Yeah. Now answer my questions please."

"Yes I am in London, I'm coming over to your place now. And yeah, Logan broke up with me. He told me that I love Luke, not him. He actually told me to come over here and get him back."

I hear a pause on the line. 

"He isn't dating that Rose girl, you know? She was all over him but he pushed her away and left. And, Amie she's p-pregnant."

My eyes close slowly. "And you're the dad?"

"Yeah!" He exclaims. "I told her about us in the lift and she told me about her night with Luke. We are back to normal now."

I sigh in relief. "Is she there? I need to talk to her."

"Yeah, you can speak to her when you get here." I hear movement in the background. "She is so impressed with you, Steph. She can't believe you stopped it in the lift."

I shake my head, laughing. "Just because I was jealous of her and Luke, doesn't mean I'd fuck you as revenge."

He laughs, and I hear Amie's laugh too. "AMIE IM SORRY CAN WE JUST GO BACK TO MAXIBON TUESDAY'S?" I yell down the phone. 

Harry groans. "Bit of warning next time please?"

"STEPH, BRING MAXIBONS AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!" Amie yells. I laugh. 

"WILL DO! Now, I gotta go. I'm driving since Harper is almost falling asleep here."

"Drive safe. See you soon." He says, ending the call.

"Rude." I say out loud. "He totally just hung up on me." I turn the radio on. 

"Welcome back to the 5SOS marathon! We are here today with Ash and Luke. How are you boys?"

"We're good." I hear Luke's rough voice coming through the speakers. Harper sits up quickly. 

"So, your new album is out, what are some songs we will be hearing? Any favourites?"

"My favourites are Amnesia and Wherever you are." Luke says. "They remind me of this girl, who I love, and who I have loved for a while."

"C'mon, Greg, Let's play Amnesia for them." Ash says, laughing. "Luke and I actually wrote this, after some of our first ever girlfriends."

The song is played, and I turn up the volume. 

"I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted. I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted. And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine. Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you? When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?" 

I hear Cal's voice and smile. The lyrics, though. They are killing me.

"Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine? 'Cause I'm not fine at all"

My hands move to my hair, brushing through it nervously. I look over to Harper, who looks devastated. 

"I remember the day you told me you were leaving, I remember the make-up running down your face. And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them, Like every single wish we ever made. I wish that I could wake up with amnesia, And forget about the stupid little things, Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you, And the memories I never can escape. 'Cause I'm not fine at all."

"Dick." I mumble, smiling. I wipe away the tears on my face, remembering the day of the reunion when I left for Sydney, my mascara all over my cheeks. 

One lyric stands out for me, and that's Calum's line. "It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on. It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long."

Luke and Ash are talking about Logan and Jake. Shit. I look down, guilty. I hear Harper's quiet sniffles and I grip onto the steering wheel.

Luke's solo for the chorus comes back on, followed by:

"If today I woke up with you right beside me, Like all of this was just some twisted dream. I'd hold you closer than I ever did before, and you'd never slip away, And you'd never hear me say."

I lose it. Shit, if only I had seen Luke push Rose away. If only I came back for Luke after Splendour. 

I start to sob, my arms wrapping around my knees. 

Holly turns the radio off, her sobs loud too. 

I shake my head quickly, turning it back on. The song has finished. 

"Wow, boys. That was beautiful."

"If only the girls we meant it for heard it." Ash mumbles, sadness filling his voice. 

At this point, I completely forget about Maxibons. I drive straight to Harry's house, probably breaking the speeding laws while I do it. 

I walk in through the door, storming into the closest room I see, which I recognise as the living room. 

"Fucking hell Harry, I need Luke's number, now. That fucking song, just made me lose it and made me realise I fucking love him with all my heart." Harry looks at me, shocked, before I hear a gasp from behind me. 

I turn, to see every member of the band I really wanted to see. 

5 Seconds of Summer. 

With Luke at the front, eyes wide.
