I've got this friend ~ //Luke Hemmings//

Chapter 10 - //5sos in Tasmania//

I woke up as the bus came to a halt. I looked around. It was about 2 pm and I guessed that we were in Tasmania now. I got up and walked out into the empty bus shelter. It was a gorgeous bright day. I looked up and down the road before crossing it, but right as I was about to a voice said 

"Wait" I whipped around.

As I saw who said it I felt a tear run down my face. I ran into my brothers arms. It hadn't been long but I had missed him alot. After a while we released and walked down the road. We checked into the nearest hotel and headed just down the road to a beach. I stepped on to the warm soft sand and stared out at the ocean. It was late afternoon but there was just enough sun for it to sparkle. The ocean was a perfect clear emerald colour and waves rippled softly away from it. It was absolutely perfect. I walked to where the waves reached the shoreline and sat down. Nothing was more beautiful then the way that the ocean never stopped kissing the shore, no matter how much it was rejected. It made me think of Luke. I pulled my phone out of my pocket. There were 3 new texts. I decided that now was the time to check Lukes messages. There were 8 in total;

"Alyssa I'm sorry please come back"

"Alyssa I need you"

"Please Alyssa"

"Reply Please the boys and I are so worried about you "

"Why did you have to go"

"You could've stayed with us"

"It would've been great Alyssa"

"You know what, I doubt that your going to read this one, let alone reply to it.

But I just want you to know that I understand. That I'm not mad.

Yeah I'm upset, but I get it. You need time to figure out your life. And I just 

want you to know that I support you. But I also want you to know that I

Love you. Please stay safe x"

I read the last one over and over. Tears welled up in my eyes. I was so glad that he was going to support me in this, whether we are in a relationship or not. And whether we are in the same place together or not. A big knot tied itself in my stomach. I missed Luke. It hadn't even been a week, and already I felt homesick without him. Is that normal? Missing someone this badly?

I looked over my shoulder at Jake, who was busy building a sand sofa. I had to admit he was doing pretty well. I giggled and he looked up at me. He gave me a smug look and got up to sit on it. he seemed very pleased with himself. I decided that tomorrow I was going to start sorting myself out, beginning with my current relationship with my father. That really needed to be adressed. But for now, I was going to sit back, relax and enjoy the Tasmanian view.

~ LUKES POV ~

"5SOS IS OFFICIALLY IN TASMANIA!" I finished writing the tweet and posted it on the 5sos main twitter.

I was excited to meet all of the Tasmanian fans. I headed out of our hotel room and noticed a girl with wavy mocha brown hair jogging down the stairs. It reminded me of someone, but I couldn't think who. I brushed it off and kept walking. I got to the bottom and met the rest of the guys in the van. We were headed off to our first gig here.

When we arrived we went inside and started doing rehearsals, sound checks and all that jazz. Eventually it was almost time to go out. I left my dressing room and waited with Calum and Michael on the wings of the stage. I heard Ashton start drumming the beginning of 'She looks so perfect' and we ran out. Calum and Michael started jamming out as I sang

"Simmer down, simmer down, 

they say were too young now to amount into anything else,

But look around, we work to damn hard for this just to give it up now

If you don't swim you'll drown, but don't move, honey

she looks so perfect standing there in ,y american apparel underwear,

and I know now, that I'm so down

Your lipstick stain is a work of art I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart, 

and I know now, that i'm so down"

We finished up that song and did 6 more. The final song was gonna be 'I've got this friend'. When the guys started playing the intro I was washed over with memories of Alyssa and I. I missed her so much. My stomach knotted up as I tried to sing the first part

"Can I have a minute, 

I've got something to tell you 

I heard that someone likes you and it might be nothing but you don't know that he is right in front of you

He's kind of my size

don't look back cause he's looking 

I think you know him but you just don't know that he is right in front of you

Baby you've been talking to him nearly everyday

he really likes all the games that you play

he told me to tell you to see what you'd say

before he jumps in and he asks for that date

I've got this friend who's crazy about you"

My voice started to crack and there were tears in my eyes.

"I've got this friend who can't be without you

I've got this friend and I wish I could see,

How this would end if you knew-"

Tears started pouring out of my eyes as I stopped singing. The guys all came over to me. Ashton and Calum came offstage with me while Michael apologised to the crowd and told them that our new EP would be free for just them, and that the show was sadly over. I walked into my dressing room and broke down. I just missed her so much. She is the only thing playing on my mind. She's the only thing that matters. The boys comforted me for a while, they knew why and what was going on. They checked twitter and saw a few videos of me breaking down onstage. They ignored them all. There were a lot of tweets asking if I was okay, and what was wrong. I wasn't going to tell them, I just wanted to curl up in bed and sleep. After about 15 minutes we all headed back to the hotel. I curled up in bed hoping to get a good nights sleep.

I didn't sleep at all.
