My Famous Brother's Best Friend

December

Today was their last concert. The last concert of their Australian tour. It was here, in Sydney, and being Luke's sister, I had to go. Lydia was giggly and excited to see Ashton, which is adorable as hell but I'm not in the lovey dovey mood. Seeing him will hurt more than ever imagined. Over the past week, he's tried calling and texting but I never answer. I'm afraid. I'm basically putty in his hands already, I don't want to just give into him. He hurt me, he really fucking hurt me and I'm not going to stand for it.

I pulled on my navy blue skater dress, my hair straight with no makeup whatsoever. I wasn't going to dramatically try for them, they've seen me in my worst and I probably look worse than even then but I don't care.

"Hey, time to go." Lydia called into the walk-in closet, which we basically used as a beauty parlour. I nodded, slipping my combat shoes. I don't know what they're called, they look like combat boots but they stop at my ankle and have a heel? Nevermind, I make no sense.

It was silent in the elevator, my hands shaking immensely. Lydia shifted, "Hey, are you alri-" "Are you excited to see Ashton?" I said a fake smile on my face, my breath heavy.

She nodded, a genuine smile spreading across her face. The elevator doors slid open as we made our way to the stadium.

We were escorted to our seats, the boys making sure we weren't mobbed or anything. Even looking at how close I was to the stage made my stomach drop to my knees. "I don't know about this," I said nervously, "I think I'm going to go to the bathroom, I'll be back." I said, asking the security man in front of us named Rob to take me to the private washroom backstage.

I slid into the bathroom, gripping the sinks ceramic bowl. I was having a panic attack, something I haven't gotten since the eleventh grade. My breath was erratic, hyperventilating.

I ran into a stall, urging into the toilet, I hate that I get nauseous when I'm panicking. When I was finished, I walked to the sinks. My face was paler than usual,almost making me look sick, the cold sweat on my forehead not helping. I pulled away the hairs that were stuck to it and wiped the sweat with a tissue. The concert starts soon and I can't wait in here the whole time. I walked out of the bathroom, instantly running into someone. I panicked for a moment before realizing it was only Ashton.

"Madison? Are you okay? You look-" "I know, dead." I finished his sentence, smiling lightly. He chuckled, "I was going to say beautiful but yeah, you do. What wrong?"

"Must've been something I ate." I said, holding my stomach. Just as I was going to say my goodbyes to Ash, a person joined us (along with some sound crew who have always been here) in the hall. His hair was dyed red, sticking up in all different directions. His eyes met mine as the wind was knocked out of me. "Madis-" he started but I didn't let him finish. I backed out of the room, my mouth wide and my head slightly shaking back and forth. I ran back to Lydia, "I think I'm going to go-" "Put your hands together for... 5 seconds of summer!" the announcer shouted as girls screamed from around us. Shit, I can't leave now. Lydia stood up, a goofy smile on her face. She missed Ash so much.

The lights came on brightly, The boys all smiling, except for one. He stared so intensely at me that it burned my heart.

I shook my head, looking at another boy. I settled on Calum who was smiling at the fans, I smiled lightly. They always loved their fans, no matter what. They start introducing themselves.

"I... am Luke."

"I'm Ashley! Okay no, Ashton!"

"I'm Cal Pal!"

"I'm Mikey."

They continued on with the concert, Michael occasionally taking his eyes off of me. They preformed many songs from the new album, a few from the old one. It was amazing overall, a few of the songs making me close to tears. They made it, they really did.

"Okay! So we usually do a cover of some punk song but today we're trying something a little different. Mikey, take it away." Ashton said, shifting in his stool.

Michael walked to a stool beside Luke, his acoustic guitar in hand. "So I had this idea for a person who's really important to me. I fucked up and I'm slowly taking the consequences. This songs a little girly but I'll try to change it up for you guys." he smiled lightly, glancing at me. Fuck. No, I can't be here. I was frozen, I couldn't bring myself to move from my seat in front of the stage.

He started strumming as Ashton did a the beat. Luke and Calum went along with the acoustic.

"I'm so glad you made time to see me.

How's life? Tell me how's my family?

I haven't seen them in a while."

Oh, god. No, Michael, No!

"You've been good, busier than ever,

We small talk, work and the weather,

Your guard is up and I know why." he glanced down, his eyes almost tearing. A single tear rolled from my eye.

"Because the last time you saw me

Is still burned in the back of your mind.

You gave me all you had and I left you angry and sad." he changed the lyrics. Fucking hell, the tears streamed.

"So this is me swallowing my pride,

Standing in front of you saying, "I'm sorry for that night,"

And I go back to December all the time.

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you.

Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.

I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.

I go back to December all the time." he watched me as I cried, the raspiness of his voice making my knees weak. I have to get out of here. Now.

They played the next bit of music, Michaels eyes on his strumming. This is my chance. I got up and fast walked up the aisle, looking back every second to see if he saw me leaving. He looked to my seat, his eyes going wide and frantic as he spotted me near the back, still walking away quicker than ever. He jumped from his stool, his guitar sliding behind his back. He gripped the microphone. "Please don't leave! Please!" he begged, a tear sliding from his eye down his red cheeks. The other boys stopped playing, Luke's eyes squinting as it set in. Luke knew now, everyone did. "Please don't leave me." he said quietly, his voice cracking.

Everyone was staring, some sympathetically and some angrily. I started to hyperventilate so I did what I do best, and I ran from my problems.
