I slipped out of work early as I wanted to facetime Luke before he went to sleep. Malerie allows me to do so now and again as she understands that the time differences are awkward.

After a few moments of calling, Luke's face popped up on my screen.

"Hey babe!" He shouted over the loud music. A range of different coloured lights flashed across his face and I could see a mass of bodies around him dancing as he pushed his way out of the crowd, until he got outside where it was a lot quieter.

"I see you're fitting into the touring lifestyle quite comfortably," I joked, smiling slightly.

He laughed before saying hi to someone who near him, then focusing back to me. "Yeah, it's crazy! Sorry I didn't text you this morning or call you last night, I was so tired," he apologised. I waved him off as it was no big deal, it was only a one time thing.

"Don't worry, I don't expect you to constantly be talking to me, but it's nice when we do get the chance," I reassured.

He was smiling brightly at me, and it made me happy to know that he was enjoying himself on tour.

"But anyway, I should probably leave you have fun, plus I should be getting back to work," I said, Luke agreed and we quickly said our goodbyes.

A week later.

I woke up, yawning loudly before checking my phone.

From: Lukey :-)

Lovefr you :—D. Xx x

Luke and the boys seemed to have been partying a lot recently, and I usually wake up to a drunken text or tweet.

I giggled at his drunken text before checking my Twitter. In the space of 3 months, my followers had risen to 80,000. I didn't quite understand it as I wasn't anyone important, in fact, I think more people hate me than anything, because of Luke and I. Although I tend to ignore all the negative comments.

I followed a few people back and replied to a few, too, before checking Luke's tweets. Most of them were either drunken or retweets. I decided to check my timeline.

Bad idea.

Almost every tweet on my timeline was a picture of Luke with a girl - far too close for comfort. He seemed to be dancing with her, while holding her closely as she seemed to have been grinding on him. Wow.

I chose to scroll past it, until eventually logging out of twitter.

It's nothing, I reassured myself.

I decided to call Luke as I figured he would be going to soundcheck soon and I wanted to wish him good luck for the concert tonight - apparently it was going to be the biggest US show they'd be doing

Luke picked up after a few rings.

"Hey, Katy, I'm sorry, I can't talk right now babe," he apologised immediately. I tried speaking but I suddenly heard a female voice in the background.

"Luuuke, hurry up I want to get this done," she complained. I felt sick to my stomach. Luke said something quietly to her which I could not comprehend before speaking to me.

"I'll text you later, bye," he said, before ending the call. I didn't know what to think, but I certainly didn't want to believe that he was cheating on me with that girl from the club. Too many things were going through my mind for me to comprehend. I decided to get up and do something productive as I waited for Luke to text me - that way I will be able to find out about that girl.
