I'd Never Live » Luke Hemmings

1.5~Singing For Each Other

*
Luke's P.o.v.
"Guys. I can't go on!" I tell Calum and Ashton.

We're backstage, and I'm staring at my phone in my hands. Nothing is happening. All I'm getting is tweets. I mute them, if they're not her.

"What? You have to go on!! You're our fucking lead!" Michael shouts running in the room.

"Marie. There's something wrong. She. She isn't talking to me." I start sobbing. "I feel like something happened."

Ashton walks over and engulfs me in a hug. "Lucas. It's okay. She's probably on her period or something. Everything is okay. Just go sing about her."

I wipe my nose. "Okay." I say nodding. I still feel like something is wrong. Like my heart was just ripped out of my chest.

Ashton runs out to the stage. I follow him, and Calum and Michael follow me.

"Hi! We're 5 Seconds of Summer!" Ashton's chirpy voice shouts into the microphone.

All I know now, is that I'm playing
and singing. My mind is never fully on the songs. There's always one part that is attached to her.

Marie's P.o.v.
"Okay. I'll point to you, and you introduce yourself, and what you're going to sing." Amy tells me, from behind the camera. She had to do my hair and makeup, and dress me, even though I didn't want to. I don't want to stay in this house anymore. But then again, I do. His scent his here. His clothes. Him. I want to wrap myself in his blankets and inhale his scent all day.

Amy clears her throat. "You ready?" She asks.

I nod and clear my throat. "Yeah. As ready as I'll always be." I say. Three seconds later, she points to me.

"Hi!" I fake a grin and wave. "I'm Marie Irwin, and I'll be singing "You're Not Sorry" by Taylor Swift."

Amy plays the karaoke from the laptop sitting in front of me.

The music plays.

All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around

I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down

And it's taken me this long baby but I figured you out

And you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around

The words come easily to me now, and I lose myself in the music.

And you can tell me you're sorry

But I don't believe you baby

Like I did before

You're not sorry

»music and more lyrics«

You had me crawling for you honey

And it never would have gone away no

You used to shine so bright but I watched all of it fade

»last chorus«

I wave at the camera and smile. Amy stops recording.

I burst into tears.

"Babe! That was amazing! This is going to crush them!" Amy exclaims.

"What about Calum?" I ask her.

"He'll be fine. If this doesn't work out, he'll go back to being a soccer star. It's fine." She says as she uploads the video on YouTube.

She puts the video on Twitter and DM's it to Michael.

"It will get to Luke. Don't worry." Amy tells me.

"I think I may puke again." I moan as I roll onto my side.

Amy leaves and I eventually get up, walk into Luke's room. I change into his Blink-182 shirt, and crawl into the bed to fall asleep.
