Why am I so stupid? I didn't even think the Michael would be in the band too! I'm so stupid! What else did I think, that they just hung out with him, that's it?

I sit down on the large couch besides Ashton and Calum and they smile, pausing the argument they were having to talk to me. Meanwhile, Michael hasn't said a word and continues to tune his guitar.

"Hi Scarlett," Ashton smiles, dimples popping.

"Hi," I say putting on the realist smile I can manage.

"Sorry about Michael by the way, we forgot to tell you he was in the band too, we know how he's been treating you lately," Ashton whispers.

"Oh its..fine," I say. I'm used to having people be rude to me.

"So what do you play?" I ask them changing the subject.

"Well I play the drums," Ashton says, clearly pleased that he plays them.

"And I play bass," Calum says, also smiling.

"That's great, I've played the guitar for a little bit, and I like to think that I'm not that bad," I say.

Ashton laughs and says "How long have you played?"

"Oh since I was around 9 or 10," I say.

Ashtons eyes widen a bit, and he whispers, "That's about as long as Michael's been playing. He really loves it ya know, playing. And he's not bad at it either,"

I look over to him as he strums the chords on the instrument and slowly smiles to himself.

I smile because I cant help but think hes kinda cute when he's smiling and not being a total jerk.

"Okay guys," Luke says, breaking the tension. "I guess well get started now,"

They all stand up, and go to their rightful places, with Ashton in the back and Calum, Michael, and Luke in the front.

"Okay well thankfully we actually have a bit of a audience tonight," Luke says gesturing to me.

I smile, as they get everything plugged in, and settled down. Finally Luke says they're gonna start with I Miss You, like he told me they would.

They start, and I have to admit, they are pretty good, until Michael starts messing up, quite frequently. Finally Luke stops the song.

"Dammit Michael, what's the problem?" He says.

"Um, idk man- I'm sorry I'll try and fix it," he says with a nervous tone in his voice.

"Okay thank you," he says, as they start over the song. About halfway through though, Michael messes up again, and they stop the song.

"Damn Michael what is the problem? You haven't had trouble with it before, why now?" Luke asks.

Michaels cheeks turn red, and he apologizes again, and suggests that they take a break. Luke agrees and tells him to relax.

Michael leaves the garage and goes to sit in the grass in the front yard. Luke sits down on the couch, and I follow him.

"I wonder what his problem is," I say.

"I don't know. He's never acted this way before. Last time I saw him nervous was his first date with his last girlfriend," he says.

"Oh. Well how long were they together?" I ask.

"Oh a good while until well, its a long story," he says.

"Oh okay," I say kindof embarrassed.

"It's okay, we just don't like to talk about it a lot." He says.

I was just about to say something else, until michael comes back into the garage.

"Hey guys, can we like not practice today? I'm just not feeling it," he says.

"Oh. Um, well yeah I guess," Luke says.

"Thanks," he says, and he grabs his guitar, and leaves.

"Wow hes acting weird today," Calum says.

"No kidding," Luke says.

The begin the pack up all their stuff, and Luke leads me to his car. He sighs as he sits down in the seat, and turns the heat on.

"Sorry that the practice didn't go as planned," he says as we drive down the road. "Were usually better than that I promise,"

I laugh and say, "Its fine I would be glad to come to another one," I say and he nods.

The rest of the car ride is spent with laughing, and singing along to the radio. Finally we pull up into my driveway, and he lets me out. He follows me to the door, and I thank him for letting me come.

"It's no problem, we'd love to have you again, as long as Michael gets his act together," he says and I laugh.

He reaches down the hug me and I hug him back, which is kind of awkward considering hes a inch away from being a tree. I kiss his cheek, and he blushes and he looks down at me.

"Thank you again Luke," I say and he smiles, and walks back to his car. I wave as he backs out of the driveway, an I unlock the front door.

The first thing I hear when I enter the house is, "How did the date with the lip ring boy go?"

I turn to see my mother sitting on the coach, reading.

"Jesus mom way to scare me," I say. "And, it wasn't a date," I say as I slug up the stairs.

"Well he's cute, if I were you I would consider it a date,"

I groan and enter my room and flop on bed, and turn the TV on, before falling asleep.
