The next five weeks went quicker than I had expected.
The band toured Australia and were back in no time. Sure, I missed Luke like crazy but we spoke almost every day and face-timed when possible - I even went to see them when they were performing in Sydney.
However, now that they're back, they only have three days before they leave for another 7 months. Of course, they will be coming back to visit during this time, and I can go visit them and see them in concert, but it's going to be hard not being able to be in Luke's presence everyday.
7 months. I thought to myself.
I was interrupted of my thoughts by the sound of a knock on the front door. I jumped up excitedly before running to the door and opening it. I instantly jumped into Luke's arms, putting my legs around his waist as I hugged him tightly.
"I take it you're glad to see me?" He asked. I kissed him repeatedly around his face as he laughed. Eventually, he put me down and I dragged him into the living room and sat him down.
"So.." I grinned, "tell me what it's like being on tour with one of the biggest groups in the world! I can't believe you didn't even tell me who you were opening for," I poked him as he chuckled lightly.
"It's incredible, their fans are amazing, and so supportive. The arenas are constantly full although that's not surprising, and each night is incredible," He smiled widely.
"We have to do something, because I've missed you so much and I'm gonna miss you even more when you leave again," I frowned as I hugged him.
"Sure," he laughed, " and I missed you too. But, I'll be back in a month for a few days, but then after that I don't think I'm back for another two months," he sighed as his eyes started to water.
"Hey, don't cry on me," I joked.
We stayed silent for a moment as we held each other, all that could be heard was the sound of our breathing.
But it was soon interrupted by Luke's voice, "so, how about we go grab some coffee?" he suggested, and we immediately got up and left the house.

"It's so nice to see everyone again, and I can't believe Leah is getting married next month" Luke said. I nodded in agreement. After having coffee and seeing Leah, we decided to go for a long walk as the weather was nice.
Luke laced his hands in mine and we continued walk hand in hand through the beautiful city, admiring all of the sites. I forced Luke to take some photographs as I wanted some of us together in my phone. I ended up putting one as my lock screen.
"How are the guys doing?" I asked.
"They're good," he smiled proudly, I nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I made a Twitter account last night," I told him. Luke looked at me in shock.
"No way!" He laughed. "What is it?"
"ItsKatyLana" I smiled as he took his phone out.
"Cool, I followed you." He smiled before facing his phone towards me. I looked at him, laughing at his attempt to take a photo. "Gotcha," he smirked as he typed away at his phone.
"You little shit!" I laughed, before checking his Twitter. His most recent tweet was a picture of me, with the caption —
"So beautiful. @. ItsKatyLana xx"
"I cannot believe you just did that," I gasped. I looked at his followers count. My jaw dropped. "And Luke, you have over 250,000 followers already, and fuck my notifications are crazy right now." I laughed as I put my phone away.
"It's been a crazy few weeks, I just hope that things between us will be ok for the rest of the tour," he smiled sadly before intertwining our hands once again.

3 days later.
"Promise me you'll call me when you can?" I hugged him tightly. He placed his chin on my head as he hugged me back.
"Of course, I will text you every day, and I will call you whenever I have some free time," he said quietly. "I promise."
"aaaand," I dragged as I pulled away from him slightly, before looking up at him, "promise me you won't fall in love with someone else while you're away?" I joked.
"Only if you promise not to find someone else too," he chuckled before kissing me.
We were rudely interrupted by Sidney, who was pulling on my shirt.
"Hey, Katy, come on. Their flight is being called,"
Luke and I pulled away from each other. I looked up at him, he smiled sadly at me.
"Come back to me, Luke," I said quietly as a tear escaped my eye.
"You know I will," he said before kissing the top of my head, then walking away with the rest of the band. Calum and Michael looked back at me and waved, whereas Ashton continued to walk.
My chest felt heavy, and I found myself suddenly running to the four of them.
I quickly caught up to them before pulling Luke back and kissing him on his lips.
"Luke, I love you," I said.
He looked at me for a second, "I love you too, Katy. I'll be home before you know it."
And with that, they were gone.
(A.n I'm sorry if you dont like where this fic is going with the whole touring thing, but I might do an alternate ending sort of thing another time - but only if thats what you guys want)
