TRY HARD

Chapter 10

"Ya ok" Luke is on the phone with their manger. They have an interview with some company this morning.
"Are you sure?" he says. I continue finishing up my makeup.
"Does she have to?" I close my eyes at the mention of "she" I know I'm not the only female on tour but the rest are crew and I'm a nobody. I'm probably being told to go home, and it's not good for the band if I'm on tour.
"Ok yeah I'll talk to her" he doesn't sound too happy.
"Yes just nothing about him or her please" I try and shake it off and walk out into the bedroom of the hotel. He has his back to me so I walk up and place my hands on his chest, my head on his back. He puts his hand over top of mine.
"Ok bye" he hand up and throws the phone onto his bed. He turns around, leaving a light kiss on my hand.
"What's up?" I ask, he sighs.
"They want you in the interview, they want the fans to know who you are" he runs his hand through his hair.
"They just want you to explain why you're on tour, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable" he says.
"Luke you know I'm easy going, I'll do whatever needs to be done" I smile up at him.
"I really want to kiss you" he says. I shrug.
"Do it" he closes the already small gap between us, making our lips touch.
"YES!" We look behind us and see the other guys walking into the room.
"Are you dating?" Michael asks excitedly.
"No." Luke says
"Fuck!" Michael says.
"Cmonnnn" Calum groans.
"I told You" Ashton says. They sit down as we get ready to go.
"So they want Delia in the interview, to tell why she's with us and who she is, she's good with it" Lukes says closing his suit case. I grab my makeup bag and close my suitcase as well. I hear Michael laugh.
"What's so funny?" I ask.
"Your shirt" he says.
"You all know I'm bi, I'm not hiding it from the media, I love being bi." I say smiling.
"And we love you" Luke wraps his arms around my body throws me on the bed.
"LUKE" I yell as I land. Everyone laughs.
"Come on you're so light it's easy.
"She can't be that light! Look at her muscles!" Ashton says.
"They're bigger then mine!" Calum says.
"Ya know I workout right? I still do MMA" I say.

"We're here with 5 seconds of summer and Delia. How are you all today?"
"We're pretty good" Ashton responds.
"So you guys have a special guest on tour. Tell us about Delia."
"Well I went to high school with the boys, but never really talked to them except Calum, I was his lab partner one time. I was never the person you'd bring home to meet your parents. I was high a lot at school and never did my work, I dropped out early. I have had two main friends my entire life and recently we all had a falling out and my life was endangered. A few days before all that happened, I went to their concert, I realized who they were-"
"I wrote try hard about her, back in the day, I sang it to her at that concert and got her backstage. And we started hanging out" Luke says.
"So all the fans are wondering, are you guys dating?"
"No we aren't, I'm kinda helping her get back on her feet"
"So you have all known her for a while then"
"Except me, we didn't go to the same high school" Ashton says

"That wasn't bad at all" I say flopping onto the couch in the bus.
"No it wasn't, I just wish I could have said yes to the one question." He sits beside me and puts his arm around my shoulder.
"The one about her being your girlfriendddd" Michael says walking by.
"He's not wrong." Luke says looking at me.
"Luke we've talked about this."
"I know but I don't care, we've been on tour for a week now and you haven't once asked for weed, or sex, you've denied both! You're not who you think you are."
"I'm still the one you don't bring home to mom"
"My mom would love you" Ashton says.
"And my sister would love you" Calum says.
"Crystal would love you" Michael says.
"See." Luke says smirking.
"No." I say back.

We're at an interview with GQ, they're asking about their tattoos. Calum's goes first and then turns towards Luke.
"What do you got Luke?"
"Ahhhhhh I got none" Ashton starts laughing.
"Delia has one though" Luke says.
"LUKE!" I yell from off camera.
"Oh yes the famous rose tattoo!" Calum says.
"You have a tattoo?!" Michael says.
"I'm not showing it!!" I yell again, A worker grabs a stool and places it next to Luke. I keep shaking my head. Ashton stands up and walks behind me.
"No no no" he picks me up by waist and carries be to the stool.
"Lukes right you're really light" he says sitting back on his stool.
"Luke picked up Delia this morning and threw her onto her hotel bed" Michael says.
"Ok but I've never seen this rose tattoo" Ashton says.
"How am I supposed to show this?!" I look at Luke.
"I don't know! You're wearing clothes under so" I shake my head again.
"Ok well I got this when I was 17 ok?" I lift up my shirt pull my bra down a little.
"It's just a cute little rose" Michael says
"Ya I got it the day I dropped out, I was underage, high, probably a little drunk" I say sitting back down. They continue answering questions.
