Chrissy's P.O.V.

"Shitshitshitshit.." Luke whispered as he was struggling to put his - now dripping wet - skinny jeans back on. The flashlight lit up the scenery, coming closer to us. "You guys owe me an explanation.." the guy, who I identified as Calum, spoke in his thick aussie accent.

"Calum what the hell are you doing here?" Luke still desperately tried to put on as many clothes as he had on before, not wanting to make it that obvious, what we've just done.

"Seriously you are asking me that?" Calums laughed, as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Yeah okay, you won. We both couldn't sleep and decided to go for a walk and we ended up here.." Luke mumbled and I almost bursted out into laughter, remembering how he had literally pulled me out of my sleep.

"Well Chrissy, if I was you, I would hurry up getting back to the huts, because that weird friend of yours is about to call the police. We were watching a movie when she popped up at our front door shouting like we'd kidnapped you." Calum chuckled.

"Wait so you didn't even notice I was gone?" Luke stated, looking confused, but he didn't receive an answer.

"Uhmm.. okay, let's go back to the huts, I guess.." I said and we made our way back.

"Why does she have leaves in her hair?"

"This smell is disgusting.. Is it seaweed??"

"There's wet clothes on the floor... But that shirt isn't hers, is it?"

"Can you guys please shut up, I'm trying to sleep over here." I murmured into my pillow.

"SHE'S UP! GET READY FOR A BUSY DAY, MISSY." Amanda flipped her hair and walked out, followed by Taylor.

Band practise

I let my eyes wander around the room. Every band was currently gathered in here, making me notice that the band of this douche from the initiation night got disqualified. Good for us.

Zoning back in, I realized I was staring at Luke, who was non-surprisingly staring back with a smile on his face from the other side of the room. "Can we talk later?" he mouthed to me, his expression slightly nervous, causing me to nod worriedly.

After they had told each band where to practise, the time quickly passed by....

"I guess that's enough for today.." I said, sipping from my water bottle. I received "Uh-huh"s from Will and Joe, then they left to go back to their hut. I was about to walk out the door, when I turned around, finding Dan fumbling with his hands, an empty expression on his face.

"Are you okay?" I asked, sitting down next to him. "Yeah, i'm alright.." he said, not bothering to look up. "Dan, who are you kidding? I've known you for years and I can tell when you're worried. What is it?"

"Look, I've called my mum yesterday and she's not feeling well and I don't know, I'm just fricking scared. What if she won't feel better?" He answered, still looking down.

"Dan, look at me.." I made him turn to me. "Don't wrack your brain about that.. She's a strong woman and she will handle this, I'm sure.." Then he gave me a weak smile and before I knew what happened, he decreased the distance between our faces.

Luke's P.O.V.

"I'm going to ask her. Yes, I'm going to ask her to go out with me. I mean, why would she say no, after what we had?" I encouraged myself, my feet carrying me closer and closer to where her band had practised.

Taking a deep breath, I pushed down the door handle, but as soon as my eyes caught her, my whole body froze. He was holding her face with both his hands when suddenly her eyes shot up, looking at me, like I've been hit by a car - which pretty much explained, how I felt in that moment.

Within a second, I turned on the heel and practically ran to our hut, loudly shutting my bedroom door behind me, leaving Ash, Mikey with confused expressions in the living room. Calum followed me and softly knocked on my door, then came in and plopped down on my bed next to me.

"Come on, you can't tell me she said no, I'm not believing this. What happened, mate?" he questioned, patting my shoulder.

"I was so assured, that she liked me, Calum... I was ready to ask her and then I walked in and that damn guy from her band was kissing her. Why the hell would she do that? Trust me, it took a lot of control to not rip him off her and beat the sh-" I said-shouted, but Calum cut me off. "Mate, calm down. You don't even know what was going on there! Are you sure they were kissing and not just hugging or so?"

"Are you calling me blind? I think I can tell a kiss and a hug apart!"

"Man, what I'm trying to say is, maybe it's just misunderstanding..I think you should talk to her and clear everything up. Don't do something, you'll regret, Luke." and with that he left the room. Well, maybe he was right. I should ask her and not speculate about everything. I inhaled deeply, which relaxed my muscles and calmed me down.

Determined to listen to her explanation, I exited out the front door, hopped down the wooden stairs and walked for a while.

"Luke?" I reacted to my name being called by turning around only to face someone who shouldn't have crossed my way.
