TRY HARD

Chapter 12

"Lil bitch. lil bitch ass." Calum says as I'm walking by. We're in the green room in Chicago
"Are you okay?" I ask
"I'm bored"
"I can tell" I walk by and see Luke coming into the door.
"Catch me!!" I yell. I start to fall to the side. Luke rushes over and catches me.
"Oh look I fell for you" I say while in his arms. He laughs.
"You're a dork" I stand and look at him.
"What cha staring at babe?" He asks. I feel butterflies when he says that. What is going on?
"You." I respond.
"Why's that?" I put my hands on my hips and he comes closer, placing his hands on my hips. I jump up into his arms and hold onto his neck.
"Awe how cute" Ashton says walking in. I flip him off.
"I'm so tired" I say putting my head on his shoulder. He starts to move toward the couch. He falls into it with me in his arms. I look up at him and just smile. I can't help but look at his lips. I lean forward slightly and peck his plump skin. I then lay my head down on his chest.

*a few hours later*
"Time to get up guys" I hear Ashton say. 
"Whyyyyyy?" I groan. I realize I slept on Luke for three hours. I look up at him and smile.
"That was like the best sleep I've had" Luke says.
"Same, you're so comfy" I sit up and get off the couch.
"Now I'm cold" he complains.
"You gotta get ready" I say.
"Ughhhhh" he groans and gets up. We all get ready for the show and before we know it they're being called to side stage.
"I'm going down to the pit" I say and walk the opposite way.  I catch the end of the aces set. Kenna waves to me as she leaves.
"You're Delia aren't you?" I nod.
"Can I get a picture?" She seems so sweet, she's shorter and seems to be alone. Her blonde hair is pulled back into a pony, she's wearing an older 5sos shirt. I smile with her as she snaps the photo.
"Thank you so much!"
"Of course!"
"Sometimes I think I like you more then the boys" she laughs. I smile and laugh.
"And why's that?" I ask.
"Cuz you're a lot like me. Doesn't really care what people think, just wants to live her life without judgment"
"It takes a lot to train to the mind to not care"
"It really does"
"What's your name?" I ask.
"It's Harper"
"Thats such a pretty name!"
"Awe Thanks" She says. We continued talking for the rest of the show, we Jammed to all the songs.
"Well at least we didn't spend the entire time between sound check and the show sleeping." Calum says to Luke.
"Well that's Delia's fault right?" Luke says. I'm talking to Harper still.
"Now she's ignoring me" I laugh at what Harper said when a fan taps me in the shoulder.
"Luke is talking about you" she says.
"Well Luke what do you want?" I ask sassily.
"I want you to stop ignoring me!" He complains and pouts.
"Get back to your show!" I yell back. I turn towards Harper.
"Did you actually just sleep in between?" She asks.
"Yeaaaa" I nod.
"That's so cute, everyone thinks you guys are dating"
"We're not, no matter how much he wants to."
"Oh if my idol asked me to date I'd die"
"We'll see, it's not that I don't want to it's just, I come with a shit tone of baggage and I don't wanna push that on anyone"
"If he really cares about you, he'd love you and your baggage" I smile. The concert is done now.
"It was super nice talking to you Harper"
"I can't believe I got to even meet you"
"Text me sometime k?" She nods and goes to catch a taxi home. I walk back to the green room.
"No, I want to"
"How can you convince her?" I stop before I enter the room.
"Ok well she said she's falling for you" Michael says.
"But it was probably just a pun" I shake my head. It wasn't just a pun.
"Hey" I say coming in.
"Great job tonight" I add.
"Thanks, we're taking the bus tonight. So we gotta leave in like an hour." Ashton says.
"K cool" I sit on the couch and go on my phone.
"ASHTON" I yell as I see a picture.
"She found your picture" Michael laughs
"The fans already think we're dating" I say.
"We could be a couple if you'd just say yes" Luke says
"Lukeeeee I have too much baggage"
"I love you and your baggage. I wrote a fucking song!"
"Luke just fucking tell her!" Calum says.
"Good girls, don't stop, she's kinda hot, why won't you love me, heartbreak girl, beside you, vapor, 18, kiss me kiss me, social causality, wherever you are, just saying, out of my limit, and many many more!!" Ashton says. I start to blush.
"All about you!" Calum says.
"Just date him please" Michael says.
"Ok listen, I want to." His face lights up.
"But I don't wanna hurt you, everyone I know always gets hurt, this is my first real relationship, everyone else has been used for sex or drugs. I will admit that" I say.
"I don't even care" he says.
"Fine, I guess we're together then" I smirk
He puts his hands around me, kissing me passionately, it's unlike the kisses we've shared before. It full of lust and love. What was I waiting for?
