Heartbreak Girl

Chapter Kiss Me Kiss Me

At school the next day, Luke tells me that his band are playing a concert, tonight.
"I-I was wondering...will you please come?" he asks shyly. "Of course I'll come!!" I grin. "And, um..will you come backstage before it starts as well? You know...so maybe I'll feel less nervous?" I nod excitedly. "Oh, and I'd like you to meet the band as well," he adds. "But I already know Calum and Michael," I say, confused. "I must have forgotten to tell you!!" Luke sighs. "I have no idea how I could have forgotten...but yeah, we now have a drummer!" "That's great!" I exclaim, hugging him tightly. He blushes slightly. "Yeah, so, can you come maybe an hour before it starts? Here are the details of where it's on and stuff." He hands me a brightly coloured piece of paper that advertises the concert. "I can't wait, Luke!" I tell him. He smiles. "Oh, can I bring Libby, and maybe some other friends?" I ask. "Yeah, that would be great!" he replies. "Okay, thanks!" I say. "I'll see you later!" I hug him one last time, and run over to my friends who are waiting for me.

I arrive at the concert venue an hour before it begins, as Luke asked me to. I have brought Libby and Dawn along with me, as well as another one of my friends, Amethyst.
"Hey, guys, Luke asked me to go backstage, so I guess I'll see you when they start performing?" I tell them. "Okay!" Dawn smiles. "We'll see you later, Lauren!" Amethyst tells me, as I nod and walk off to find Luke.

"Luke?" I call, searching for my best friend. "LUKE!!!" Suddenly, someone runs into me and knocks me over. I hit my head hard on the floor. "Ouch," I mumble. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Lauren!!" someone exclaims. I blink slowly. I recognise the voice. I look up at the person. It's Calum, one of Luke's other best friends. "Hi, Cal," I sigh. "I'm really sorry," he repeats. He reaches out his hand to help me up. I shake my head, lifting myself off the floor slowly. "Calum? Where are you?" someone shouts. "I'm in here!" Calum yells back. A boy with curly hair walks into the room. I've never seen him before. "Oh, hi!" he smiles, his dimples showing. "Are you Lauren?" I nod, brushing my hair out of my face. I wince, my head still throbbing painfully. "Are you okay?" the boy asks. "I kind of ran into her," Calum admits. The boy rolls his eyes. "I'm Ashton," he introduces himself. "I'm the drummer." "Oh," I say, and he laughs. "I only found out about you today," I tell him, smiling at the memory. "Luke forgot to mention you." Ashton smiles again. "Luke's waiting for you, by the way, Lauren," he tells me. "What about me?" Calum asks eagerly. "Is Luke waiting for me?" Ashton just looks at Calum, not answering him. "Come on, Lauren," he says, leading me out of the room and into a different one, where Luke is pacing back and forth while the last band member, Michael, sits on a couch. Luke looks at Ashton, then notices me. "Lauren!" he grins. "So Ash found you!" I nod. "Ash found me, too!" Calum says. "And he was actually LOOKING for me," he adds, looking at me. I laugh.
Luke and I talk for a while, the other boys interrupting occasionally, until we hear someone calling Luke's name. "That's my mom," Luke says, turning to go find her. "No, I'll go!" I tell him. Luke's mother, Liz, is really sweet, and I love talking to her. I run out of the room. I see Liz down the corridor, with Luke's little sister, Ella. She's quite cute, but she hates me for some reason. "Hi, Liz! Hi, Ella!" I smile. "Oh, Lauren!" Liz exclaims. "I didn't know you would be here!" "Well, here I am anyway!" I laugh. "Mommy, why is SHE here?" Ella asks, looking up. "Ella, what have I told you about being mean to Lauren?" Liz sighs. "That it's the right thing to do," Ella mutters. I smile, even though inside it really hurts when Ella says things like that.
"The boys are this way," I say, leading the way to where they are, as Ella whispers insults about me loudly.
