(first day of tour)

"Hey Mikey, when does your flight leave?" Jesse asks.

"In a few hours. I think it leaves at 6 so i'll get there at like 4." I say, finishing dragging my bags down the stairs.

"Well it's 10 now, do you wanna say goodbye to the guys before you leave?" I find myself nodding before i even register what he said.

"They hate me"

"They don't  hate you. Well maybe Luke does" he laughs.

"Don't even joke about that" I glare.

"Well if we're going to see them then go get ready. I'll get your bags in the car" i nod and run back upstairs to shower. When i'm back downstairs jesse is already in the car waiting.

(at the arena)

"Jesse! Mikey! You made it!" ash cheers when he sees us.

"Ya, i couldn't let him leave without saying goodbye." jesse smiles.

"I'm glad you didn't. Come on the boys are in the dressing room" we follow him down the maze of hallways and stop at a door labeled '5SOS dressing room'.

"Guess who's here" ash called into the room.

"Jesse! Mike! Cal yells, Luke just smiles and waves. After I get a hug from Calum I go and sit next to Luke.

"Are you still mad that I chose to go to America?" He just continues to ignore me.

"I'll take that as a yes."

"When is your flight Mikey?" Calum interrupts our silence war.

"Flight is at 6 so i have to be there at 4."

"So that means we only have like 5 hours?" Calum pouts. I nod.

"Hey it's not like i'm leaving forever! Plus you guys will be so busy on tour you won't have time to miss me." I joke,

"Still though, you have easily become one of our best friends and thats hard to find in this business." Ash says.

"Please can we just enjoy the time we have?" I ask.

"Sure, what do you wanna do? We don't have anything left to do before the show."

"Wanna go bowling?" I ask getting the idea.

"Really Mikey?" Jesse raises an eyebrow at me. I nod frantically.

"It'll be fun" i beg

"Fine, bowling it is."

"Yay!"

(half hour till mikey leaves)

    "Hey Luke come here" I call him over, we just got back to the arena and I only have a half hour till i have to leave for the airport.

    "Ya?" he asks.

    "Let's take a selfie" i grin holding my phone up.

    "Really?" he asks. I smirk.

    "Smile" i laugh and snap a picture when i grab his face and kiss his cheek.

    "No! I look so bad! Michael delete it!" he whines as i laugh and hold the phone out of his reach. Over the past couple of hours at the bowling alley Luke has warmed back up to me, i can tell he is still angry but he is talking to me.

    "Fine, you take the pictures then" I say, handing him my phone. He takes it and holds it out. But before i can get in the frame he is taking pictures of himself. I laugh and take it back from him. He pouts. I hold my phone out in front of us and take a cute picture. Making sure he approved.

He then takes out his own phone and turns the camera on selfie, holding it out. I go kind of behind him and kiss his cheek he blushes but takes the picture anyway

"Can you send those to me? I'll send mine to you too." he asks.

"Why?" i ask, pulling my phone back out to do it.

"So you have something to remember me when you're all the way in America. And so i have something to remind me that i always have someone to talk to." he says, blushing and looking down. I grin at this.

"Hey. thats a great idea" I lift his chin up so he would look at me.

"Please don't go." he whispered after we just stare at each other in silence for a moment.

"Luke, I can't just change my mind last minute."

"Please!" He begs, tears forming in his eyes.

"I can't Luke, I'm sorry"

"Is it because of me?" he asks looking down.

"What are you talking about?"

"I heard you talking to Ash and Cal, you hated me, do you still? Is that why you won't join?"

"Hell no"

"Then tell me! Please!"

"I've worked for everything in my life. I've gone to school. I work two jobs. I don't see it as a rational thing to do. Ya i used to think you were stuck up and thought you were better than everyone else." he scoffs and goes to leave but i grab his arm.

"But i know that's not true! I learned on the first day i met you that I was wrong. You're not stuck up, you're scared. You didn't say a word, you kept your gaze on the floor and you flinched when anyone touched you. I knew it was Josh i just needed you to say it. All i've ever wanted to do since I met you Luke is help you, And that's the truth" I say. He just stares at me for a moment, then catches me off guard by launching himself into my arms. I hug him back slightly confused.

    When he pulls away he just stares at me again.

    "Luke what-" I don't get to voice my question before he is in my arms again, but this time his lips are on mine. My eyes widen in shock, but i kiss him back.

    "What was that for?" I ask a little out of breath. He blushes.

    "You did help me. And the only way i'm going to get better is if you join the band." my smile falters.

    "Luke, I can't."

    "Please! You're the only one who knows everything about me! You're the only one who has ever gotten me to eat. I trust you and I don't even know why. So just please! You can't leave me!" he begs, crying.

    "Luke-"

    "I love you Mikey please" he whispers and I stare at him in shock.

    "What?"

    "You heard me" he says sadly, walking out of the dressing room.

    "Ready Mike?" Jesse asks sadly, when I walk back over to the others, Luke is nowhere to be found. I nod sadly.

    "I'm sorry guys" I say hugging Ashton and Calum.

    "No hard feelings man. and hey, have a blast" Ash says. I grin.

    "I will"

    "Bye"

    "Bye Cal"

"Tell Luke I said Goodbye and that i'm sorry"

"We will" they say smiling.
