Chapter 6

When I Look at You - Miley Cyrus

I was backstage with ashton when Paul came in. "Ashton, your on in 10." He says. Ashton didnt get to anwser because he had already left the room, probably going to get the other boys. 

"Im gonna go, your welcome come." Ash said turning towards the door.  

"Yeah, that sounds good." I say smiling.  We go out of the room and into a hallway where we see the other boys, Ashton runs ahead of me to catch up to them.  Luke slows down wen he sees me.

"I know i probably shoudnt, but i just wanted to ask about earlier. Are you okay?" Luke asks, suddenly stopping and holding both of my hands in his.  I keep my gaze down, but i feel lukes hand underneath my chin. He lifts it up and i loose myself in his crystal blue eyes.

"Im fine." I lie. He looks like he is about to say something, but he closes his mouth and nods.  He starts to walk again, but he turns around quickly.

"You can tell me anything, you know." He says seriously.  There is so much i want to tell him. Im tired of being lost and alone. I know i have ashton, but ever since i was young i felt as if i had been left behind. Like an outcast that nobody wanted. But i couldnt tell him. Not now at least.

"I know. Go catch up with them. Big show, remember?" I say smiling. 

"Right." He says, rubbing the back of his neck. He turns to leave.

"Good luck!" I scream at him. He turns around and smiles.

Ive noticed that luke can be like two different people. Sometimes he is the awkward, funny luke that i can make fun of and laugh about it. But in a second he can switch to the kind, caring luke that will do anything for you. 

I was just walking up to where i was going to watch the show from when i heard the screams. I could see ash walking up to his drums, with one of his hands in the air.

it was overwhelming to say the least, that was my brother.  i couldnt believe how many people were there for him. 

When the rest of the band walked onto the stage i could barely hear anything. The fans are so loud.

I hear all of the boys start to sing "Hey, hey..." 

I didnt notice that i was staring until Luke looked at me. It was a are-you-okay look. I just smiled. Luke smiled back.

I couldnt explain how i felt in that moment. I guess i was just lucky that i met him.

It was about 11 pm now and we were just getting in the car to go to eat.  We decided on a small mexican resturaunt back near the hotel. The meal was pretty uneventful other than michael spilling his drink all over the waitress, but he still managed to get her number. I honestly done even know how he does it. Must be the hair.

Anyway, we are sitting in the boys flat right now and watching the walking dead. 

"I have to get going. big flight tomorrow." I say grabbing my purse and my phone.

"Alright good night addie." Ashton says, still infactuated with the television.  Luke stands up.

"Ill walk you out." He says. The boys dont even pay attention to him as he swiftly gets up and walks over. 

We walk out of the door and into the hallway. "You guys did great tonight. Im tired just watching you." I say, digging my keys out of my purse.  

"I dont think ive gotten a full nights sleep in months." luke says.

"I dont think im getting any sleep tonight. I still have to pack. But its kinda easy because most of the stuff is already there." I say.

"What are you doing in london anyway?" Luke saks. We are now standing in line for the elevator. I hear the bing and we walk into it.

"That." I say, pointing to the same poster that i had seen this morning. 

"Oh." Luke says, "Impressive. Do are all of the girls there as pretty as you?" Luke asks. I have to admit, he has game.

"Oh shut up." I say slapping his arm.

"I mean id fly to london myself if i got to look at pretty girls in minimum clothing..." 

"Perv." I reply. Luke just laughs and we step out of the elevator and into the parking garage. I press the unlock button on my keys and the lights to my white mercedes blink to life. we walk over to the car, his broad sholders brushing my petite ones. I walk over to the door and stand there. Luke walks over to me and we find ourselves in the same position we were yeaterday.

So much has happened in 24 hours. I snap out of my thoughts when luke puts his hands around my waist. I look at him. I was sudenly afraid. He was my brothers best friend. what would happen if he kissed me? Would ash be mad? My thoughts subsided when instead of kissing me, Luke pulled me into a tight hug. 

I was relieved. I could smell the cologne he was wearing and i found myself drifting in my thoughts.  I dont know how long we stood there. It didnt matter. All that i knew was that i liked him. I liked him alot.
