 "Thanks." Luke said. I could feel the tension in the room.

"Well then, all we have to do is wait for Calum and they have to get the stuff." I said, trying to break the silence in the room.

"Okay well then I'll see you guys up there." Sarah said, then walking out of the room.

"Do you really have to make it obvious that you hate her guts?" I said to Luke.

"Yeah kind of." He said, with a smile on his face. With that Calum walked in.

"Perfect, now you guys can go get your shit." I said.

"Okay let's go." Luke said walking out, with them, and Calum with a confused look on his face.

"I took Beth by the arm and sat down with, her."

"You are beautiful." she said poking my nose, and giggling.

"How much did you drink?" I said. She just giggled.

About a half hour later all four of them showed up with all there equipment and began setting it up in the back yard.

"What can I do to help." I said, to Michael.

"No not really, where basically done."

"Good, so here take her, for now." I held Beth's arm out to him.

"Do you think I should just take her home?" he said.

"Nah I'll give her an aspirin and she'll be good." I said.

"Do you know you have green hair?" Beth said. He laughed and placed her on a chair. Everyone crowded them as.

"Hi where Five Seconds of Summer, and happy birthday to Sarah." Luke said.

"This is Disconnected." Michael said. They began to play

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 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 moments 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.  

 

They continued to play and everyone had fun. They also played a song call "Try Hard" and cover of Blink-182 called "I Miss you". Luke kept making glances at me. I could tell he was having fun up there. They eventually finished playing.

"That was great!" I told them.

"Thanks." Luke said. Sarah walked over to us.

"That was really good, you guys should really play at all my parties." she said, in flirty tone.
