End Up Here

6..

//Luke's POV//

"You idiot! Why'd you ask for them? They probably have something better to do than talk to us." Michael raises his voice at Ash.

"Why the hell do you think they came here Michael? To our show? This is the first time we've seen them since high school." Ashton answers with a low, calm voice.

Suddenly, Our manager comes rushing into our dressing room with a big ass smile on his face. I contemplate whether or not this smirk is good or bad.

"You're never going to believe who's just arrived." He says.

I hope it's Sam, Delilah, and Blaire when he opens the door more but I'm left disappointed.. And well.. Shocked.

"Astrid." We all fake smile towards the red headed, tattoo filled, seventeen year old.

She smiles back with her perfect set of pearly whites and walks towards us with that award winning smirk that has bought her so many things. Fame. Money. Talent.

Astrid Wilde. Famous worldwide singer from east coast. The four of us met her in person at Ed's party after a concert and we all decided we didn't like her that much. The first thing that escaped her mouth when we had our conversation was a question.

"Are any of you single?"

The question has stuck ever since then.

Not only did first impressions go wrong but Astrid writes terrible songs. I feel sorry for every guy that has to put up with her before they lose it. Every song she makes is always about some breakup or moving on.

I'd gladly say none of us are interested, but she's daddy's little girl apparently. Her dad, Jared Wilde, is the eyes and ears of the whole music industry. He manages music artists everywhere. If any of us made his number one princess pissed, we'd be dead for sure.

"I had a photo shoot nearby and decided to drop by." Astrid explains as she gives each of us a one armed hug. "How are you guys?" She asks.

Just then the door opens again. A wave of anxiety takes over when a piece of ombré hair flashes through the door. I can hear our manager speaking with all three of them. Her voice stands out in my ears, I used to hear it everyday. I definitely missed that.

"Sam." I smile for real, lifting my head up.

That familiar little smug smile grins back at me, "Hemmings." Astrid turns around too, and she eyes her from head to toe, as well as Blaire and Delilah.

"How cute, " she says sarcastically, "She tried dressing like you, Luke."

Sam's face flushes as she looks to the side uncomfortable. I grimace towards Astrid and walk over to the beautiful creature herself. Flustered, I take a strand of her newly dyed hair and I tuck it behind her ear.

"You look.. Different.. I like it." I mumble, unable to look away from her gorgeous blue/green eyes.

I hear the lads snickering behind me. I also overhear Delilah and Blaire trying to make friends with Astrid to the side.

"You don't look bad yourself." She banters back, poking my nose causing me to wriggle it. This action makes her giggle at a high pitch, making me laugh too.

"A party you say?" I hear Delilah say in awe.

"Yeah, my friend's throwing one at her mansion tonight. I was going to invite the boys to come along with me but.. You and your friends can come too." Astrid offers.

"Really?" Blaire finally speaks, and I turn towards Michael. He looks at her with a weak stare.

Astrid nods, "You guys up for it? I'll call the limo right now."

All of us find ourselves nodding. The last person to confirm is Sam. She reminds Delilah how their new job starts tomorrow and how she hates being late.

"I'll take you home tonight, it's fine." I volunteer out of nowhere. Before Sam can object I squeeze her hand and a reassuring nod. I hear Calum and Delilah say "Aw" at the sight. Just like old times..

"It's settled," Ashton claps his hands, "C'mon kids. The night is young. LET'S GO WILD."
