''Thanks guys, you were amazing tonight!'' Calum's voice echoed through the place and I giggled, watching as everyone clapped and cheered. 

Boys wemt off the 'stage', If you could even consider it that, and made their way to where I stood with a Red Bull in my hand.

''Are you amazed, because i would be in your place?'' Michael asked, smirking as he plopped on the seat next to me.

I chuckled loudly, attracting a certain blonde's attention as he flashed a grin in my way, ''I think you got too much into the role, superstar, '' I told him, finishing my drink and throwing the can away.

Michael rolled his eyes playfully, nudging me in the ribs, ''Shut up, you loved our performance, ''

I shrugged, trying to hold my smile in, ''If you call that a jam sesh in front of ten people, then okay.''

I was kidding, of course, I loved playing around with Michael because he always gets so fierce about it, he doesn't get the joke.

''Hazeeel!'' he whined, throwing his hands up in the air as he pouted childishly at me, batting his eyelashes.

Just then, a person approached us, ''What's with the eye-batting, Mike?'' Luke asked, wearing an amused grin as he settled on a stool beside me.

Michael turned to give him an offended frown.

''She basically implied that we suck, '' he whined, frowning at his best mate.

''Suck what, Mikey?'' I butted in, getting a loud laugh from Luke as I grinned in pride. Michael's expression was priceless.

''Fuck you, Hazel. I'm off, '' he mumbled before stalking away.

''Aww, but Mikeyy!'' I hollered after him, but he flipped me off.

I heard Luke chuckling next to me, ''He'll get over it, don't worry.''

I giggled before turning around and waving the bartender over, ''Gimme a Pepsi, ''

He nodded, before disappearing behind. I sighed, looking to the side to find the blonde already staring at me. I cocked an eyebrow in wonder.

''Anything you'd like to say?'' I asked, nodding at the bartender as he handed me a can of Pepsi.

''I'm hungry, you wanna stop by this small diner around the corner?'' he said and I almost gawked at him. He's so blunt lately.

At last, I shrugged.

''Yeah, sure, why not.''

And here we are, couple of minutes later, seated in a boot of an almost empty diner. We told the guys that we're off and that we'll be meeting them later for this small celebration party that Cal will be throwing at his place. I think they're gonna do a few of their songs, but that's just my assumption.

Luke went to take a call and when he returned, he acted rather dull.

''Don't you just love cheeseburgers?'' I mumbled as I chewed on my food. Luke nodded shortly.

''Yeah, they rock, ''

Silence fell upon us again and I glanced up at him so I could study his features. He was acting weird and I was getting a bit worried. I mean, he's usually such a pain in the ass, a jerk that no-one can stand. But now, since he came back,  he has his eyes glued to the burger in his hands as he chews rather slowly, as if he's not hungry at all. His hair is falling over his eyes and he takes his hand and throws it through it, only to mess it even more.
