After waiting for a few minutes, the door opened and Calum walked in, "look it's my best friend." He smiled, pointing at her once he saw her.

"Hey, where is everyone?" Lexi said, furrowing her brows. "Luke and Sierra went off together somewhere, Crystal was on the phone with someone and Michael and Ashton were walking around the venue looking for something, I forgot what." Calum replied, getting a drink before plopping down on the couch and wrapping his arm around Lexi, pulling her in to his chest.

"What an amazing three months." He said. Lexi nodded, "I'll never be able to thank you enough for this experience." Lexi said, not getting up from the position she was in. "You don't have to thank me." Calum said, rubbing her arm. "I'm your best friend, this tour would have been boring if you hadn't come with us." Calum chuckled.

"I can't believe we got in a fight over that stupid Alexa when I first came to Los Angeles." Lexi laughed, now sitting up straight so she could look at Calum. "I can't believe she was such a fake." He replied. "I really liked her," he said, biting his lip. Lexi bit the inside of her cheek, "I never knew you did, as more than a friend, at least." She said, reaching for his hand.

Calum nodded, staring to the other side of the room. "But she never liked me back though, so I never told her about it. Until she started acting clingy to get back at you." He said, letting out a sigh. "So I have officially given up on love, it's a scam." He said, taking a sip of his drink before letting his head fall back.

Lexi shook her head, "come on Cal, you know that is not true, if love was a scam, Ashton and I wouldn't feel this way. And it might not be the same type of love, but I do really love you and I know you really love me too." Lexi said, assuring him.

Calum softly nodded, "we'll see. I don't mind it anymore to go to bed alone every night, let's put it that way." He said, staring at Lexi. "I've got Duke, that grumpy old grandpa is hard enough to handle." He chuckled, making Lexi laugh. "You'll find somebody, Calum, I'm sure." Lexi said before the door opened and Ashton basically barged in, followed by Luke and Sierra. The door was not closed yet or Michael and Crystal walked in as well.

"Were all of you together or something?" Lexi laughed, scooting closer to Calum so Ashton could sit down next to her. He smiled and placed a kiss on her neck before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her back in to his chest.

"Last soundcheck is over." Michael said, sighing. Everyone went quiet, not sure how to feel. Crystal broke the silence, saying something to lighten the mood. "I ordered food, it'll be here in twenty minutes." Everyone smiled, thanking her.

The next twenty minutes were filled with talking about tour memories, since there were so many. Lexi just leaned back in Ashton's chest, letting her friends talking and laughing fill her ears. After a while, there was a knock on the dressing room door, "yes?" Luke said, waiting for somebody to open it.

An assistant walked in, "we've got your food." She smiled politely, staring at the people. "Thank you so much," Luke said, reaching for the bags in her hands. She gave him a smile and a polite nod before leaving the room again.

Luke put the food on the table and everyone started grabbing stuff until everyone had what they were happy with. They continued eating their food, talking about more memories. "Or that one time we were daring Luke to drink that bowl of tzatziki sauce for what was it, three grand or something." Calum started laughing.

Everyone in the room started laughing as well, Crystal and Sierra out of confusion and the others because they could recall the images of what happened. "It was so gross." Luke laughed whilst wiping his mouth with a napkin. "I'm pretty sure Andy got it on tape, maybe he puts it in a tour diary video!" Ashton laughed, making the entire room laugh again.
