I quickly threw my clothes back on and went downstairs to see the others. As I walked round the corner, into the sitting part of the restaurant I heard Calum say, "I wonder why you two are late for breakfast?" I laughed at his response and Luke put his arm around me. "I'm guessing that you two decided NOT to wait then?" Calum laughed. I shrugged and Luke replied, "Well you know, when you're ready, you're ready... Aren't you, boys," he asked the boys. In response, they all laughed. Luke kissed my cheek and we sat down. "Is there anything slightly breakfasty here at the minute, because we obviously missed breakfast, and I guess that they're serving lunch now?" I asked. Ashton looked up, "Theres like um sausages and stuff," he laughed when he said sausages. "Ugh yeah.." He finished. Michael chimed in and said, "No, Ashton. Holly has already had sausages today." Everyone laughed at Michael's reply, even me. "Wow, Michael! Really mature," I said I between laughter.
Although I hadn't known these boys personally for very long, I felt really comfortable and happy around them.
Me and Luke sat down, and shared an omelette, and I had a blueberry muffin afterwards. "So, what do you guys have to do today?" I asked- almost dreading the answer. To be quite honest, I guess I didn't really think it through properly. The boys had another concert in another city that night, meaning they'd have to travel there. There would hardly be any room for us on the tour bus, me and Zoe didn't have any other clothes, either. I was terrified that we would just have to say good bye to the boys, and that we would never see them again, and they'd forget about us. "Well, we have another concert tonight, which we'll have to get on the road for.. And then after that, I..." Luke stopped. I looked up at him from my plate at him silently and didn't say anything. Luke gently squeezed my thigh under the table and winked sadly at me.
After a minute of intense thinking about what we were going to do, I felt like I was going to cry. "Uh, I need to go," I said, one singular tear dripping down my cheek. Luke looked up at me from his chair, "Holly? Holly, wait," he abruptly stood up from his chair and followed me out. I got out of the hotel restaurant which was on a campus with the accommodation. I blinked at the sunlight and started walking back to Luke's room, which I had a key to. I was going to get my stuff and tell him that I needed to leave. "Holly, wait. Where are you going?" He ran and caught up with me, standing in front of me and holding my shoulders. His panicked eyes searched mine, "What's wrong?" he asked me. I continued to stay silent and looked down at the ground. "Holly. Talk to me. Have I done something? Have I done something wrong? Look at me, please." I sighed and looked up at him. He wiped a tear from my cheek and held my chin in between his thumb and forefinger, lifting it up. He kissed a tear away, "Let's go back to the room, and we can talk. If you want?" I sighed and nodded in reply.
