"Now will you tell me why I'm wearing this dress?" She asked, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She looked beautiful. She had natural makeup and I could finally see her whole face with most of her hair pinned back.
"Nah. You'll just have to see for yourself." I said, grinning. Her eyes lit up as a smile grew across her face.
"Fuck you Hemmings." She said, looking out the window.
"It's actually not that good of a surprised I feel bad for you." She gave me a questioning look that soon turned into shock when we drove up to a small, junky bar.
"You made me dress up like THIS for THIS?" She asked, biting her lip. I smiled.
"Yup!" I said.
When we got inside, the bar smelled like alcohol, sweat, and crap scented candles.
"Ma'lady." I said, pulling the chair out for her to sit in. I could tell she was confused. But she didn't want to say anything. I mean seriously, if I were her, I'd dump my ass by now. But I had a plan. So it was okay. She sat down cautiously, like she was afraid of breaking the chair. I scooted her in and took a seat across from her.
"What can I get for you two?" I heard a chirpy, female voice from behind me. I turned around and smiled at the short, brunette waitress.
"I'll get a burger please." I said, handing her my menu. Paige ordered a salad and handed her the menu.
"You like punk rock music right?" I asked as the waitress left.
"Yeah. Well, I pretty much like everything." She stated taking a sip of her drink.
"Even those crappy pop stations on the radio?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. She let out a laugh and placed her drink back on the table.
"Yes, even those crappy pop stations." She said sarcastically.

We sat there for a while, just talking about whatever we wanted. I made her laugh so hard, her drink came out of her nose. So, point for me. I looked down at my text from Michael that said "ready when you are. Come to the back of the room." I bit my lip and wiped the sweat off of my hands. This was it.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I said. She nodded and tucked the extra piece of hair behind her ear again. I made my way to the back of the room where I saw Calum, Michael, and Ashton. I gave them a slight nod as I grabbed my guitar from Ash's hands.
"Can I get everyone's attention?" I said with my voice slightly raised. Everyone turned to face us with confused looks on their faces. I looked over at Page, who looked as confused as an upside down cow.
"We are five seconds of summer and we'd like to play a song. Is that okay with everyone?" I asked. The people murmured and smiled. Paige was beaming the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen. The boys and I made our way to the small stage in the corner of the bar. I took a deep breath and looked at the rest of my band to make sure they were ready.
"This is for Paige." I said before beginning.
"Life's a tangled web
Of cell phone calls and hashtag I-don't-knows
And you you're so caught up
In all the blinking lights and dial tones
I admit I'm a bit of a victim in the worldwide system too
But I've found my sweet escape when I'm alone with you
Tune out the static sound of the city that never sleeps
Here in the moment on the dark side of the screen
I like the summer rain
I like the sounds you make
We put the world away
We get so disconnected
You are my getaway
You are my favorite place
We put the world away
Yeah we're so disconnected
Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh
We're so disconnected
Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh
Hands around my waist
You're counting up the hills across the sheets
And I'm a falling star
A glimmer lighting up these cotton streets
I admit I'm a bit of a fool for playing by the rules
But I've found my sweet escape when I'm alone with you
Tune out the static sound of the city that never sleeps
Here in the moment on the dark side of the screen
I like the summer rain
I like the sounds you make
We put the world away
We get so disconnected
You are my getaway
You are my favourite place
We put the world away
Yeah we're so disconnected
Turn off the radio
Those late night TV shows
Hang up the telephone
And just be here with me
Turn off the radio
Those late night TV shows
Hang up the telephone
And just be here with me
I like the summer rain
I like the sounds you make
We put the world away
We get so disconnected
You are my getaway
You are my favourite place
We put the world away
Yeah we're so disconnected
I like the summer rain
I like the sounds you make
We put the world away
We get so disconnected
You are my getaway
You are my favourite place
We put the world away
Yeah we're so disconnected." I took a deep breath and looked over at Paige. She jumped out of her seat and ran up to me, leaping into my arms.
"I love you Luke Robert." She squealed. Her face lit up as I finally saw her happy. There wasn't a worry in the world in those green eyes. Just happiness. And I loved it.
I loved her.
