1.3~Names

Luke's P.o.v.
"Goodnight New Zealand!" Ashton shouts from behind the drums.

We just finished playing the new songs, and it was time to go outside, sign some autographs, take pictures, then go to the hotel and sleep, before we leave tomorrow.

Calum and I make our way outside, before Ash and Mike put their things away. As soon as we opened the door, girls were screaming our names.

"Calum! Calum!"
"Calum! A picture?"
"Can I get your autograph?"
"Luke!"
"Luke can I get a picture?"

Calum and I look at each other, and grin. I walk over to a brunette, as Calum walks over to a blonde.

"Hi. I'm Luke. What's your name?" I asked the brunette.

"Hi!!! My name's Caitlyn." She grins from ear to ear.

"It's nice to meet you Caitlyn!" I say as Michael and Ashton come out of the building.

"Luke, can I get a picture with you?" Caitlyn asks.

"Sure!" I say. I take her phone, and we and I take a selfie. She hands me her notebook, and I sign my name. This is officially the first autograph I've signed.

I walk away from Caitlyn and towards another girl. A blonde this time. She looks like Marie.

"Hi." I say to the girl. "What's your name?" I ask, taking the pen and paper from her hands.

She smiles. "Marie."

I stop writing and look up. She's not my Marie.

I finish signing, and take a picture with her. "Oh. By the way. You name, is the best name I have ever heard." I tell her, smiling and thinking of my Marie.

She blushes and thanks me.

After a bunch of signing and pictures, I walk up to one last girl. Another brunette.

"Hi Luke! Can I get a picture of you kissing my cheek?" She asks.

I look up at her and my mouth falls open.

"No." I hastily say.

"What? Why not? Are you really denying one of your fans?" She asks hurt.

The other guys rush over towards me.

"What's going-" Calum says. He recognizes her too.

"Why not? Hmm Luke?" She asks again.

"Annah. No. Stop. We're done. Stop following me!" I say to her.

"Come on Luke. What kind of publicity are you getting here?" Annah asks.

"Fine. Once. But if you try anything." I scowl at her.

I lean down and peck her cheek. Luckily, she didn't attempt anything. I sigh in relief.

Ashton, Michael, Calum, and I all walk over to the bus. As we get in, Ashton shouts, "Hi! We're 5 Seconds of Summer!" And he jumps into the bus.

I'm left standing outside alone. I turn and wave to the fans, and walk inside the bus.

About five girls fell, trying to keep up with the bus, that is driving away.

Ashton nearly had a heart attack!

I sigh, and pull out my phone.

Luke 🐧:Hey baby! We just got done with a show. I know it's late, but I wanted to tell you something. I miss you like crazy. Three more weeks, then I get to come home. I love you! To infinity and back!

I smile down at my phone.

When we first got to the stadium where we were playing, David told us that we weren't going to be gone for a month. It was just three weeks. Three weeks is still a long time to be away from my Marie.
