"Leila!" Luke shouts shaking my body like an earthquake. I let out a yelp as I open my eyes to the boys staring at me.

"Hi." I mumble. They hand me my bag and rush me out of the airplane.

"what's the rush?" I question as we get into a rental car.

"We only have one hour before we officially meet the entire band." Michael explains.

"have any of you met?" I ask wondering if anyone knew Harry.

"I know Niall." Luke answers. "We've been friends for a long time."

"how did I not meet him?" I ask.

" I kept you a secret remember?" He laughs. I sigh and stare out the window as they start to sing to a song on the radio. I didn't know the name, but it went something like "insecure, don't know what for."

I continue to watch the buildings fly by as we drive, that is until the solo came. I swerved my head around.

"Like it?" Calum asks grinning. I sit there and nod. His voice captured me.

"Someone has some competition." Ash jokes. Luke glares at him.

"No I don't." He mutters staring out the window. The song ended and it slowly left my ears making me feel ordinary again. The song lifted me up, truly believe in my beauty. It made me think of him, Harry.

"Leila?" Luke says. I turn to him noticing I started to cry, after all it had been awhile since I thought of Harry.

"I'm fine." I lie wiping my tears. I felt the stares on me from the others and I hated it, it was like then. I started to shiver. Luke rubs my shoulder and I slap it off. "Don't touch me!" I scream. My eyes were shut closed as hard as I could manage. The gasps from one of them made me open them. It was just Luke. I sighed out deeply. It was just Luke. Stop it, it wasn't Harry. Just Luke, just Luke. The whole entire ride we sat there in silence as I kept on repeating that line in my head. It was just Luke.


-----

we reached a huge complex of apartments that were barricaded. As we all got out Luke strides up to me.

"I'm sorry." He apologizes. I stare at the ground. I should say something, like it was me, but I just stood there staring at the tiny rocks. He stood there until the boys called him over.

"you have to stay outside since you're not part of the band, but I'll make sure to check up on you." He promises walking away. I stare at the ground watching his shadow disappear beneath me. What am I doing? He did nothing wrong. I lift my head up to the complex. I stroll to the stairs and make myself as comfortable as possible. I watch the cars pass by and some girls walk by and stop. A black car pulls up driving into the parking spots. Oh great. Guess who came out. That right he did, Harry walked out laughing with a blonde boy walking up the stairs right over to where I was sitting.
