this is a way better versions of yesterdays!! Still not quite happy but oh well 🤷‍♀️ 

It was the beginning of their tour, the "Take Me Home" tour, and both the 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction fans were ecstatic. The venue was packed to the brim with screaming fans, the air thick with anticipation and excitement. As the opening act, 5 Seconds of Summer took the stage, their energy and charisma radiating off them in waves. Luke Hemmings, the lead singer, was particularly electrifying, his voice soaring through the arena like a beacon of hope. But what no one knew was that behind the scenes, Luke was struggling. He'd been pulled away from his bandmates by management time and time again, always for "meetings" or "discussions." Little did he know, these meetings weren't about music or their upcoming performances. They were about something much more sinister.

As Luke sang his heart out, he could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. He wanted to confide in someone, anyone, but he knew that if he did, it would only make things worse. He'd been told that these secret meetings were for the good of the band, for their reputation, but deep down, he knew something wasn't right.

Meanwhile, the other members of 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction were oblivious to Luke's struggles. They were focused on putting on the best show possible, their synchronized harmonies and electrifying stage presence making the crowd go wild. But as the tour progressed, and Luke continued to be pulled away from his bandmates, the cracks in their facade began to show. Something was definitely wrong with Luke, and they were determined to find out what it was.

One day, after a particularly intense argument between Luke and management, they caught him outside the arena, huddled in a corner, smoking a cigarette. Their hearts sank as they realized the depth of his despair. They confronted him, demanding to know what was going on. Luke broke down, tears streaming down his face, and revealed the truth about the secret meetings and the pressure management had been putting on him.

The other boys were shocked and angry. They couldn't believe that someone they trusted could be so cruel. They vowed to stand by Luke and protect him from whatever management had planned next. But as the weeks went by, the situation only seemed to worsen. Management grew increasingly frustrated with Luke's newfound independence, and their tactics became more underhanded and devious.

Despite their best efforts, the other boys couldn't help but notice that Luke had taken up smoking more frequently. They knew it was a coping mechanism, but they couldn't help but worry about his health. When paparazzi started publishing pictures of him smoking, the hate mail and Twitter comments only added to his burden. The other boys tried to comfort him, but Luke was having a hard time shaking off the pressure.

One night, after a particularly intense argument with management, Luke snapped. He lashed out at his bandmates, accusing them of not understanding what he was going through. The argument escalated, and before they knew it, fists were flying. Michael, the drummer, tried to intervene, but it only made matters worse. The other boys had to physically restrain Luke, who was raging and shouting obscenities.

The next morning, the boys met up in their tour bus, each of them still reeling from the fight. They all knew that they had to come together if they wanted to make it through the rest of the tour. Michael apologized for escalating the situation, and Ashton offered to speak with Luke about his smoking. The other boys nodded in agreement, knowing that they had to be there for each other.

As they sat there, the tension was palpable. They all knew that management wasn't going to let up anytime soon, and they would have to find a way to support Luke without pushing him away. They decided to set up a system where they would take turns checking on Luke, making sure he was okay and not alone with management. It wasn't much, but it was a start.

Their first order of business was to confront management. They demanded to know what their problem was with Luke and why they were being so harsh. The meeting did not go well. Management accused the boys of being disloyal and threatened to end the tour early if they didn't back off. The boys exchanged glances, knowing that they had to find another way to help Luke. As they left the meeting, they vowed to find a way to expose management's true intentions and put an end to their cruelty once and for all.

In the meantime, they continued to support Luke as best they could. They made sure he was always surrounded by friends and family when management was around. They also helped him find ways to cope with the stress, like encouraging him to exercise or just spend time alone when he needed to. Slowly but surely, Luke began to feel better about the situation.

One day, while they were out exploring a city during a day off, they stumbled upon a small protest outside the arena. There were fans holding signs that read "Let Luke Speak!" and "5SOS Forever!" The boys were taken aback by the show of support. They spoke with some of the fans, who told them about an online campaign they had started to raise awareness about what was happening with Luke. The campaign went viral, and soon fans from all over the world were speaking out against management's treatment of Luke.

With the weight of public opinion now on their side, the boys felt emboldened. They decided to take matters into their own hands and confront management one final time. They presented them with evidence of the online campaign and demanded that they stop their cruel treatment of Luke. To their surprise, management finally caved. They apologized for their actions and promised to change their ways.

In the end, the tour continued, but with a newfound sense of unity and understanding. Luke was able to speak openly about his struggles without fear of reprisal. The boys became closer than ever before, bonded by their shared experience and their determination to stand up for what was right. And as they looked out at the thousands of fans who continued to cheer them on, they knew that they had made the right choice.

Requests are appreciated as always!!
