TRY HARD

Chapter 9

"You're performing at a beach?" I ask putting my stuff in a bag.
"It's not really a beach, there's like a lake, but there's really just some sand in front of a stage." They're performing at RBC echo beach tonight.
"We should get Andy to take some pictures on the sand." Luke says.
"I'm wearing sweatpants!" I say.
"But you could wear that white outfit"
"With what?" I ask smiling, we had a very very long conversation last night, in ended with us sleeping in the bed, just cuddling.
"Your slides" he says.
"Classy" I say.
"I'm the classy one in this relationship" he says. I smack his arm with my slide.
"I'll change" I grab the outfit and head into the bathroom. I pull on white shirt and shorts head back out.
"You look amazing" he says walking by and slapping my butt.
"You're such a don't stop" I say laughing.
"Someone's happy today" Calum says walking.
"Hell yeah I am"
"That's good cuz I just got some news"
"Our phone numbers are one number apart and the police called me instead of you, Blaze is being charged."
"Are you kidding?" I ask.
"No, they found a plan, he had it on a wall" he shows me a photo. His wall is covered in photos of me and red lines, a gun was laying on the table in front of the wall.
"Holy shit" I say taking his phone.
"He admitted to planning it before the fight. He was high when they came"
"That one photo, it's a photo I once sent a boyfriend, I'm naked! How did he even!"
"Wow" Ashton says.
"I'm sorry Delia" Calum says
"Ya know what? It's ok. I'm fine. The bitch deserves it. It's Harlow I'm worried about..." I say. I grab my duffle bag from the bed and sling it over my shoulder.
"Let's get going" I say. We leave the room and head down to the lobby.
"Can we stop at Tim Hortons?" I ask getting into the bus.
"Yes of course, their stuff is amazing!" Ashton says. We later arrive at the venue with our coffees.
"So how was your night?" Calum asks putting his bag down.
"It was actually amazing" I say.
"Oh boy" Michael says shaking his head.
"If you're thinking that we just had sex when we got back last night you're wrong. We just cuddled" Luke says hugging me.
"Dammit." Michael says.
"Yes!!" Ashton says throwing his hands up.
"Dammit, here" Cal says handing Ashton ten bucks.
"What you guys!! You made bets on if we were gonna have sex?!" I ask.
"Well yeah, you don't just reconnect with the girl you wrote a song about and then not" Calum says.
"Y'all are pigs" Andy says coming in.
"We have an hour til sound check. Pictures on the sand right Luke??" Luke nods. We walk out to the sand.
"This is an interesting "beach"" I say putting finger quotations around the word beach.
"Ya I told you it's not much of a beach.
"Oh wow, you can see the line up" Michael says.
"How are we gonna do this?" I ask.
"Here. Lay down." Andy tells me. I frown but lay down on the sand. He moves my hair around and then tells Luke to lay next to me. Soon Calum, Ashton, and Michael are also laying with me in a circle.
"Smile!"  He says. Luke leans over and pokes me in the side.
"LUKE!" I laugh and yell his name.
"I got that exact moment!" Andy laughs. I keep smiling and wait for him to take the photos.
"Can we take one for my instagram?" I ask.
"Of course." Everyone gets up except Luke. I don't mind I'll take one with him and then by myself.
"K ready?" Andy says. I nod and smile. I feel a pair of lips on my cheek as the shutter goes off. I laugh.
"Get outta here dork" I push him away.
"Why aren't you dating yet?" Calum says sighing.
"Cuz we aren't" I say
"You act like it" Ashton says. I shake the sand off of myself.
"You have sand on your ass" Luke says.
"Why are you looking at my ass?" I say smirking. He licks his lips.
"You know why" we start walking back to the green room.
"Jesus, you guys act like your dating" Andy says.
"Shut up I've only been on tour for two days" I say.
"Oh my god the sand is all over my shoes" I take them off shaking the sand out.
"Here." Luke picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.
"This is not helpful" I say smacking his back.
"Smile Delia" Andy says walking behind us. I show my finger.
"Fuck you" he says.
"I don't even have to see to know she just flipped you off." Luke says as we enter the building.
"Ding ding ding" I say. He puts me down on the couch and stands back up. I grab his shirt pulling him back over me.
"What are you doing?" He asks
"Nothing" I push my body up and kiss his lips.
"I like nothing." He says smiling. I push him back and sit up.
"I'm gonna braid my hair" I sit in front of the wall mirror and take my hair out the pony. The boys went to do sound check, I was done by the time they were finished. *picture above*
"Oooo I like that" Luke says.
"I could do it to your hair"
"Can you do this?" He shows me a photo of a girls hair braided at the side.
"Sure" he sits in front of me on the couch and I use my comb to part his hair. I begin to braid it.
"Ow fuck!"
"They're supposed to be tight!" I say pulling on his hair more.
"The fans are gonna flip" Michael says.
"How do you know the fans better then us"
"Cuz I'm on my phone more, mostly twitter" he says.
"I can agree though, and I am a fan, I'd flip"
