A Different Summer (A 5SOS, Luke Hemmings Fan fiction)

Chapter 55:)

But now, who knew?

She's in the crowd of my show

Nothing to lose,

She's standing right in the front row

The perfect view,

She came alone on her own,

And there's something that you should know

You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,

Yeah she makes me feel, she makes me feel......

LUKE POV

I took a shaky breath as the familiar opening riff began to sound. The lights dimmed to a light blue, like a lost memory. It suited the mood perfectly. I didn't open the song, that was Calum's job.

"I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?

When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all..."

He finished, disappearing into the darkness of the back stage near Ashton's drums. Leaving me as the focal point, the spot light on me as I grabbed the mic in front of me. I squinted into the light as I tightened my grip around the microphone in an effort to stop my hands from shaking. I opened my mouth and let the truth run free.

"I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all......"

I could feel the emotion build up in my voice as I sung. I closed my eyes briefly on the last line of the chorus. I opened them, the view before me slightly blurred from the wetness in my eyes. I scanned the crowd again, eyes resting on Bailey's face. I looked at her all through Calum's part. Her eyes focused on Calum then darted to me. But when she saw that I was watching her her gaze quickly shifted away. It hurt me to think she didn't want to look at me. God, why can't she forgive me? I knew it wasn't going to be that easy, Bai was the type of girl you didn't mess with. She isn't the typical "it's okay I'll give you a second chance instantly" type of girl. I knew if I got a second chance I'd have to be patient, but I didn't know how long I could wait. I was lost in thought until...

"Now for Lucas Hemmings." Calum announced,

It was my turn again.
