Who Do You Love|| 5SOS

Luke: Stutterin'

When I got out of the bathroom at Starbucks, there was a small huddle of girls surrounding Kira. I thought for a second that she might know them and then I remembered that we're in America and she wouldn't know a damn person in New York. As I drew closer I could hear her stutterin' a little and I smiled. These girls looked around our age. Maybe they were fans of ours. They might have recognized Kira. "Here he is." Kira said gesturing towards me. The girls turned around quickly. Two of them were wearing old 5SOS shirts and I smiled.

"Hey." The girls tried to keep their composure as they focused all of their attention on me instead of Kira which I didn't really mind. Kira gets really nervous and awkward in front of fans. She turned back to the counter to wait for our order as I started to take pictures with them. 

"Riley is going to be pissed she didn't come with us to Starbucks." I heard one of the girls say.

"Is Riley a friend?" I asked.

"Yeah, she's already waiting at the venue and didn't want to come get Starbucks with us." The other girls giggled. 

"Well call her up, FaceTime or something. I'd be happy to say hi." The girls squealed as one of them handed me an album to sign. 

"Calum and the rest of the guys aren't close are they?" Asked a short blonde girl with bright eyes. I shook my head no.

"Sorry, just Kira and I." Kira turned at the sound of her name and smiled at me.

"You guys are a really cute couple." The blonde girl said with a smile. "And I know people might ask all the time but is Calum still... Single?" 

"Oh yeah, he is." The blonde looked to one of her friends hopefully.

"Then could you umm... Could you give this to him."  She asked, handing me a slip of notebook paper with Calum's name written on the front. I paused.

"Is your phone number in here? I don't really think it would be a good idea to give that to him." I said slowly just as Kira began to walk over, our drinks in hand. The blonde girl pouted just as the other girl got their friend Riley on the phone.

"What wouldn't be a good idea?" Kira asked, taking a sip of her drink.

"I just... Wanted to give Calum something." The blonde girl said, blushing a little. Kira took the slip of paper out of her hand and pocketed it.

"I'll give it to him."

"Oh really!" The girl exclaimed. I was about to protest when a phone was shoved in my face and the girl, Riley, screamed. 

"Hey! Sorry you couldn't come." I said, trying to sound enthusiastic as Kira talked to the other girls. I tried to log a reminder in the back of my mind to tell Kira not to give Calum the girls number. She didn't look of age and I've never really liked it when girls would give us their numbers. The other boys didn't seem to mind so much though.

When Kira and I left the Starbucks, my bodyguard driving us back to the stadium, I turned to look at Kira who was typing away at her phone with one hand and taking a sip out of her drink in the other hand. "Hey don't give Calum that girls number." I said. Kira didn't even look up at me.

"I know but you can't just make your fans sad you know? She probably expects that he won't call her anyways. I'll just pass on the message that she wanted to send him." I arched an eyebrow at her.

"You read her note?" Kira nodded.

"It was really sweet actually. She said he was a big inspiration for her, apparently he replied to a tweet of hers once and she's stuck by his advice. She just wants to thank him and asked if he could possibly call her sometime. She also wrote her twitter name though which I already sent to Calum and told him to follow her." Kira said, pulling the note out of her pocket and handing it over to me. "So he can at least DM her if anything." I smiled.

"You're so smart babe." She looked up at me.

"Thanks babe." She said, taking a sip of her drink and locking her phone before looking out the window. I wanted to ask her if she and Calum were okay. In Seattle they seemed to be civil with one another but I could still sense the tension between them. I didn't want to propose to Kira while she was stressed or fighting with her best friend but we only had three more shows left before she left to go back to Australia. 

That's why I already reserved us a table at a fancy restaurant here in New York. I felt the pocket of my jacket for the small box, my heart beating fast in my chest. I hope she says yes when I ask her to marry me.

I couldn't find Kira and none of the boys had seen Calum. If they were fighting again, they were probably outside. I sighed. We were supposed to be eating right now, our manager had bought a ton of pizza for the crew and everyone else and it was some of the best damn pizza I've ever tasted. I tried to text Kira asking her where she was and I texted Calum to tell him that food was here but neither of them had responded.

"If you're worried about them go find them." Michael said, interrupting my thoughts.

"I'm not worried."

"Yes you are." Ashton said, taking a bite out of his slice. "You've got your worrin' look on your face." I frowned at them. "I'm sure they're not fighting again about... Whatever. They seemed pretty chill the last couple of days." 

"I don't know guys it's just weird. They're acting really weird. I've never seen them fight like this before and Kira always wants to talk about what a dick Calum can be so why won't she tell me what's going on now?"

"Girls are weird man." Is all Michael had to offer in the way of advice. I sighed.

"Look dude, just go find them. I'm sure everything is fine and you're getting all worked up for no reason." I pursed my lips. Maybe he was right. Maybe I was overreacting a little. 

"Alright, I'll go find them." I said with a sigh, setting my plate down. Michael immediately grabbed my uneaten slice of pizza. 

"Hurry back or all the pizza will disappear." Michael called out. I shook my head at them, smiling a little as I headed for the backstage door that would lead outside. When I stepped out, I scanned the area for Kira and Calum but didn't immediately see them. I walked down the steps a little and began to walk towards one of the trailers that carries a lot of the gear needed to take down and put up the stage. As I neared them, I could hear voices. One of them was definitely Kira's. 

I rounded the corner of the trailer and found them standing about twenty feet in front of me, completely unaware of my presence seeing as they were getting into another shouting match. Calum was gesturing a lot and Kira looked flustered. She even stamped her foot and I snickered a little. She was really adorable. 

I wasn't sure if I should interrupt them or not or just leave them alone. They looked like they were about done arguing anyways. Just as I was about to turn around and walk away, Kira let out and aggravated shout and turned away from Calum, throwing her hands in the air. "You're so..." the sentence died in her throat. Even from the distance I was at, I could see Calum clench his jaw. 

He reached out and grabbed her hand but Kira didn't turn around. He sighed, his features softening as he started to talk to her, maybe apologize about whatever. Kira half glanced back at him and then he tugged on her hand and she sighed and allowed herself to be pulled into a hug. I sighed. I don't know what I was so worried about. They looked fine. When they pulled back though, it was almost like I could feel a shift in the air. 

Calum leaned in and Kira began to meet him halfway. My feet moved without my consent but if what was about to happen was really going to happen... I didn't think I wanted to see it. Kira touched his cheek lightly, the way she used to always do for me before she... Calum closed the space between them and they kissed, his arms wrapping around her tightly as Kira locked her arms behind his neck. I felt sick. I felt betrayed. I felt like a fucking idiot.

"Hey!" I shouted. Kira and Calum blew apart, shock evident on both of their faces. "What the fuck is going on?"
