LUKE

We were backstage of the Today Show just tuning our intruments and getting ready for our performance. I'm pretty excited, I heard there is a huge crowd outside just waiting for us. I can't wait to see the fans, they mean so much to us and we just can't thank them enough.

Michael has been on his phone since we got here. He hasn't said a word to us, he's just been on his phone. It's pretty normal but he would have reactions and emotions but this time he was dead on serious.

"Michael, you've been staring at your phone for the longest time. What are you looking at?" Ashton asked.

"I saw this girl at the airport-" We all groaned, Michael has been looking for some summer love. He's been going out a lot just to find the perfect girl. "No, no, no. I saw this girl and I swear I know her. She looks very familiar." He told us, he handed his phone to us and it was a girl who had short brunette roots but blonde tips hair, who was a lot shorter than Michael. I couldn't see her face because it was blurry and the angle was to the side.

"Michael, we can't see her face." Calum informed him, Michael rolled his eyes and got off his chair to swip his screen and it was another picture but this time it was a clear paparazzi picture. It was him walking out the airport he was looking down and you could see the same girl at the background using her phone. I analyzed her face carefully and slowly, she does look familiar.

Then it hit me like a hard brick.

It can't be her... No, no, no. It can't be.

"Lauren Maine." I murmured, the boys looked at me with a confused expression. "Lauren Maine." I said louder. Michael clapped his hands once like he won a medal or something.

"I knew it!" He exclaimed. "She's so hot now but she sassed me in front of the media."

"I can't believe she's here. Why is she here?" I groaned. It's not like I want her here, I think she doesn't want me here. Maybe that's why she sassed Michael she completely hates us! I still remember the story...

After the lads and I found out that we will be touring with One Direction. The first person I told was Lauren. I knew she had the right to know, she's been supporting me since the beginning. I biked to her house and rang the door bell, after a few seconds the door opened and the most beautiful girl I have ever seen stood in front of me.

"Hey beautiful." I greeted, her cheeks flushed red and let out a small giggle. "You can not believe what just happened to me and the lads a while ago."

"What?" She asked.

"We got a call and well long story short, 5SOS will have their big break. We got a chance to open for One Direction." I announced, her jaw dropped while smiling and jumped in to my arms.

"I'm so happy for you!" She exclaimed. "I told you someday it will happen."

Before we left, my friends and Lauren were at the airport with me saying our good-byes.

"Promise me you will text, call and skype with me." She said.

"I promise." I promised and gave her a kiss on the forehead, her tears fell out of her eyes. "Hey, don't cry. I will come back and you will see me. Once I come back you'll be the first one I'll come after. I love you."

"I don't know Luke, you'll see thousands of girls and--"

"No, no one compares to you. It will always be us against the world."

"Okay, that is enough sweet talk. We should go now before the plane leaves." Michael interrupted. Lauren giggled and smiled. She kissed my cheek and lets go of my hand.

We landed and as soon as I got off the airplane I knew I had to call Lauren. I took my phone out and called her. It was ringing and after the third ring,

"Luke, We knew you would call." I heard, it was Lauren's mom.

"Mrs. Maine, hello. What's wrong?" I asked calmly even though I was scared as hell. They sound really serious.

"Luke we need to talk." They started, "Since you left, Lauren has been... Emotional and honestly, we know how much you both love each other but her father and I decided it's time to move on. We already know it's not gonna last with all the touring and fame that will come your way and we want what's best for our daughter. Don't worry, we will tell her everything. Good-bye Luke." Mrs. Maine said and hang-up.

"Luke! She's so hot! Go for it man!" Michael exclaimed. I shook my head as an answer. "Well if you're not gonna get I--" Calum slapped his stomach before he could finish.

"Dude, just don't her. She was the one who dumped you remember?" Calum said to me.

"No, it was her parents who dumped me for her to move on and focus on her future." I corrected. "Now that I think about it, imagine what her parents told her that managed her to be a sassy ass." I added.

"She does have a great ass." Michael commented. I just rolled me eyes.

"Listen, whatever her parents said to her to become like that she would probably still like you because who wouldn't love sweet ol' Luke." Ashton said as he pat my back. "So guys! Let's get ready for the show!" He exclaimed. All of us cheered and got off our seats.

We got on stage and started performing it wasn't a long time before I spotted her. She just stared at us, staring at me. I couldn't stop looking at her. She was still beautiful, she looked the same but different. She was still beautiful. She was still Lauren.

It came down to Amnesia. All the boys told me that they already spotted Lauren and said she was hot like a lot, especially Michael. Typical Michael. I wanted to dedicate this song to Lauren. It's cliché to dedicate a song to someone but I would really want Lauren to know how deeply sorry I am.

Calum started singing the first verse, I just stared at Lauren who was swaying her head closing her eyes like she felt the song. Damn, she looked so beautiful.

"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 don't need them and every single wish we ever made." I saw her, she saw me. She immediately looked down at her feet. "I wish that I could wake up with Amnesia and forget 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." I sang, I felt the tears building up on my eyes. I have to pull it together. I walked towards Ashton like what our band always do and pretended to wipe away the sweat on my face but really to wipe away the tears. I felt Ashton's eyes on me, I looked at him and he had an expression of care. I told him I'm alright and went back to my place on stage. She was still there but she couldn't look at me.

After the show we were packing up. Michael and Calum was helping the security guards put our stuff in the bus and Ashton was here with me cleaning up.

"Luke!" I heard, I knew it was Michael. I turned around and my eyes widen. One of the security guards was carrying Lauren. She was struggling getting our of his wraps.

"Put her down!" I exclaimed, he put her down and she was fixing herself. Ashton walked over to Michael and all of them left us alone.

"Hi." I managed to say.
