Tour Life

Chap 4

Rachel ~
I couldn't sleep. I'm sorry but I couldn't. Luke asked me out. When I would realize it every once and a while I would just get up and screech. I texted Luke all night. He was so funny and charming and sweet. We finally decided that we were gonna go roller skating then to a movie then to pizza then to ice cream then whatever. I told him I just like having fun like that. I didn't really care about all that fancy romantic restaurants and stuff he said he was in the studio all tomorrow so I could drop by at his house, where all the boys live too before he gets back and we could hang there too. And then go. So he said be there at 2:00pm. Kayla helped me pick out my outfit, wasn't anything special but I still wanted to look good for him. Anyways by like 2 in the morning I started feeling a little sleepy so I tried to go to sleep and I basically crashed as soon as I hit the pillow,more tired than I thought I was.

I opened my eyes slowly and let the sun light burn them as I tried to keep them open so I wouldn't fall asleep. They finally adjusted. i remembered that i promised myself id try to stay in shape and get strong and go to the gym everyday. Well that hasn't been happening so I guess I can go now. So I changed into a pink nike sports bra and black nike pro shorts and did some makeup but not alot I through my hair up in a pony tail and through on one of my band tees that I cut out to a tank top I think it was a 5sos one. I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my phone,wallet and keys and got in my car and drove to the gym. I worked out till 1 and came back and it was only a 5 minute drive anyway. I got home and quickly took a shower I sat on the bathroom counter and did my makeup in the mirror. I blow dried my hair and curled it for a change. I never curl it need I mind you. I then put on my outfit it was a gray crop top and light washed high waisted ripped jean shorts and a red flannel I just tied around my waist.then I just slipped on my white converse and grabbed my shit. I went into the living room where everyone was hanging out and said bye to all of them "just be you, don't freak out just pretend he's not...Luke...hemmings" she said and we both laughed. "I'll be alright" I said. Surprisly I wasn't nervous. "You will" she said as she hugged me. Then I left and got in my car and drove I there place.

When I pulled up at the driveway, I got a call from Luke. "Hey" I said. "Hey Rachel I'm really sorry but there making me stay till 3:30, think you can hang in there for me?" He said sadly. "Ya that's fine" I started. "I swear ill be back and we'll go I won't be late again I..I" he said. "Luke" I paused "it's okay,it's totally fine" I said nicely. "You sure?" He asked. "Yessss" I answered. "Your awesome, see you later"he replied he then attempted to make kissing noises into the phone but it didn't quite work. I laughed. "K bye" I said laughing and ended the call. I was already at there house maybe I should just go in. See whose here.I walked up to the front door and knocked on it. The door opened slowly and Michael was standing behind it "oh hi" he said kinda shyly. "Hey!" I said happily. "What's going on?" He asked. "Well I was um suppose to go out with Luke but he's staying later at the studio so were gonna hang later, I didn't know if anyone was home" I said. "Oh..." He said kinda hazily he was trying to avoid eye contact with me and I don't know why. "Well I'm the only one here right now" he answered hazily again. "Oh..." I said everything was awkward I mean, this dude I looked up to and had posters of him on my wall and shit and now
He's standing right in front of me and I'm at his front door and its just kinda weird. I mean sure we already known eachother for a few months but we only hung out a couple times with 5sos. He was acting strange. He was not acting like the Michael I knew from interviews and tour and rehearsals he's been acting very strange lately. "Well I guess I'll..go..hom-" I started as Michael interrupted me "no just...just stay here..you can hang out with me.." He said with a smile. There it was. His smile. I thought I wasn't gonna see it. "Cool" I said. I went inside and it was pretty fucking nice in there. We went into the kitchen and I sat at the bar. "Want a drink?" He asked. "Sure" I said he went in the fridge just got a beer for himself and handed me one too. "You get me man" I said. As I opened it and started drink he just laughed. "So you excited for tour?"he asked . "Fuck ya"I said. There was a short pause. "You know you used to be really shy what happened?" He said with a chuckle. "I don't know" "I still am" I said as I blushed. It was silent for a moment as he just looked at the floor all sad like. "Can I ask you something" I started. "Sure" he said unsurely. "Are you okay? I mean the past couple weeks and the months I've known you, you haven't been really in it ya know? I mean I don't know if I'm just being a bitch right now..gettin all up in your grill" I said he laughed "or your just like feel shy or something I just..what's up with you man? I mean if something's wrong you can tell me." I said. He finally looked me straight in the eyes and sadly said. "Really?" "Ya course dude" I replied. 😊
