"Your fans are very... passionate." I giggle as we try and get ready to drive away after being mobbed while trying to go for a walk in town.

"I guess you can say that." Ashton laughs as he tries to manuver his way around the fans so no one gets hurt.

We drive back to Luke's where the guys drop us off and insist that they're busy, but they'll come back tomorrow. Luke and I are sitting on the couch watching TV with his arm slung over my shoulder and my cuddled into his chest. Nothing was really defined for now, but I know Luke probably has more to worry about right now than a relationship.

"So," he starts shutting off the TV. "How was LA?"

I groan and just cuddle more into Luke, "It was alright, but frustrating when you were in town I'd be busy with classes or doing shows across town."

"Yeah, true.. but you're here now." He rubs my arm. Yeah, here now until he goes on tour again.

"So I have a question for you," I smirk knowing the answer but I want to see him get all flustered up.

"And I probably have an answer." He nods.

"How many songs on the album were about me?" I raise an eyebrow remebering all the guys tell me how Luke just kept the songs coming and explained to them how he used our situation.

"U-Uh well-" He starts stuttering while his face turns red. "Have you heard the album?"

"Of course!" I scoff now sitting criss cross from Luke, "And I saw you let Disconnected out.." I smile.

I remember the first time Luke played it for me, and I remember the feeling when I heard it was released. I cried for one, from missing Luke so much, but then all the fans were talking about how Luke would talk about me before he played it at every show.

"Was that okay? I-I mean we had to let an EP and I-"

"Luke, its your song." I laugh placing my hand on his knee.

"Well technically it's your song but.. yeah." His face was still red and now his eyes were darting around the room. "Kiss Me Kiss Me was written with All Time Low.." He starts and my eyes widen.

"YOU WROTE WITH ALL TIME LOW AND YOU DIDNT GET A PICTURE OR VIDEO OR ANYTHING SIGNED FOR ME?!" I gasp loudly.

"IM SORRY IT WAS MY FIRST TIME MEETING THEM!" Luke defends himself so I take a deep breath trying not to kill him.

"Continue.." I sigh laughing a bit.

"Long Way Home and Close As Strangers are about you.." He smiles to himself as he keeps his eyes on his lap. "The guys helped me write Long Way Home about your last night here and well I think Close As Strangers is pretty self explanatory.."

"Yeah.. heads up, don't listen to that song when you miss someone." I add remembering the harder nights of missing Luke were spent listening to that song on repeat.

"Try writing it.." Luke jokes chuckling. I feel the mood shift and I don't like it so I change the subject.

"So you and the boys are doing your first arena headlining tour, that must be great!" I try to sound excited, but its just a countdown to when Luke and I are apart again.

"Yeah.. we're going literally everywhere." He smile looking extremely excited. It was a beautiful look on him. Pure happiness. "But there's a problem.."

My heart stops as his eyes meet mine. "We need an opening act and we've been considering this one struggling artists but I don't know if she'll be up for it."

"A struggling artist passing on an arena tour? That's funny!" I laugh. Even as a writer and singer myself I know you'd have to be crazy to pass that up.
