Ashton's P.o.V

I was woken by a loud noise and fell off the sofa and landed on the floor.

,,Ah, man..." I said, croaking, and then I got up again.

As I stood, I walked out of the room in the direction the sound came from.

What I saw there, I did not expect.

,,What the..." I said but was interrupted by Michael. ,,Wait, I can explain." He said, laughing.

He was laughing, I wasn't.

,,I'm listening." I said, a little pissed.

,,Well, actually, we can explain." Said Calum.

I didn't even noticed him until now.

,,So you, too!?" I asked, throwing my hands in the air.

He nodded.

,,Well, I, actually we, walked this way and then Cal scared me and of course I got scared and fell backwards into your drum set." He said, scratching the back of his head.

,,I hope it hurts and see if you can put it back together. And you will." I said, walking out of the room towards the stage.

,,Oh hey, Ashton." Said Matt, one of our producers.

,,Mate, good to see you here." I said, giving him a bro-hug.

,,I only visit the best guys." He laughed.

I laughed back and said thanks.

,,But what brings you onstage? All alone?" He asked.

,,Well, uh... Michael and Calum are fixing my drums and where Luke is, I don't know, maybe in one of the rooms." I said to him.

,,Okay." He laughed. ,,I'm go search Luke." Matt said, and he left.

I looked around and saw just a few people checking everything or just walking around.

After that I looked around for a guitar and only saw Luke's standing on the edge.

I went over and picked it up.

,,Is it tuned?" I asked myself more.

,,I think it's tuned." Came it from an employee.

,,Okay, thanks." I smiled back and went on stage with the guitar.

I went to the front and sat down so that my legs were hanging down.
Then I put the guitar in the right place and started playing some chords.

Here I am waking up
Still can't sleep on your side
There's your coffee cup
The lipstick stain fades with time
If I can dream long enough
You'd tell me I'd be just fine
I'll be just fine

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you

Cleaning up today
Found that old Zepplin shirt
You wore when you ran away
And no one could feel your hurt
We're too young, too dumb
To know things like love
But I know better now
(Better now)

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you

Too young, too dumb
To know things like love
Too young, too dumb

So I drown it out like I always do
Dancing through our house
With the ghost of you
And I chase it down
With a shot of truth
That my feet don't dance
Like they did with you

When I was done, I wiped away a tear and put the guitar aside.

It's just unbelievable what we have managed to do so far, from small gigs with about 20 people to sold-out arenas.
Just unbelievable.

I interrupted myself and sat down cross-legged and looked at the empty arena.

Luke's P.o.V

I would wake up by a knock on the door.

I'd stand up and open it.

,,Matt, hey, what are you doing here?" I asked and gave him a quick hug.

,,Just visiting." He returned smiling.

,,Thank you. Come on in." I said, stepping aside so he could come in.

,,Have you slept?" He asked as he sat down on the couch.

,,Yeah..." I said, a little embarrassed but with a smile.

,,That's okay Luke, even people like you are still allowed to rest. That's the most important thing."  He said, tapping the space next to him.

I sat down and thanked him.

,,So, how are you?" He asked.

,,Uh, it's okay." I said back.

,,It's okay? That's not what it sounds like." He said with a wry grin.

,,You sound just like my mom." I gave it back with a smile.

,,I'm glad." He laughed.

,,But now, seriously, you want to tell me how you really feel?" He asked, turning a little more towards me.

,,I-I don't see why I should feel any different." I said, a little panicked and hoped he wouldn't notice.

,,You know how bad you're at lying, Luke?" He said, raising one eyebrow.

,,I know, but I'm really fine, Matt. There's only one thing on my mind." I said, shrugging.

,,And if I may ask, what would that subject be?"  He asked.

,,Uh, well, it's complicated and-" ,,Just tell Luke."  Matt said.

,,Okay...how would the management react if, well, one of us was maybe bisexual or even gay?" I asked and I looked at the floor.

,,I think normal. I mean are you bi or gay?" He asked back.

,,I don't know..." I answered.

,,Anyway, if you're absolutely sure about your sexuality, don't let anyone stop you, understand?" He asked.

I nodded.

,,Great. I'm going to have a talk with Jack now.  I'll see you later." He said and walked out of the room.

I took one deep breath and walked out of the room.
