One Way Or Another (Sequel to 'Playing Hard To Get' (Lashton)

Chapter 29

*A few concerts later*

You look so perfect standing there

In my American Apparel underwear

And I know now, that I'm so down

Your lipstick stain is a work of art

I got your name tattooed in an arrow heart

And I know now, that I'm so down

(hey!)

"I'm in Miami bitch!!" Luke yells to the crowd and the arena gets louder than before. Apparently Luke cursing is like the hottest thing ever.

I'm not complaining.

"THERE ARE CHILDREN HERE LUCAS" Calum yells back into the mic and Luke looks like a deer caught in headlights. Being the older brother has some advantages. Calum and I are the same way, we bond with each other because we both know what's up.

"I bet they have heard much worse from their parents. Am I right?" He open his arms out to the crowd and wiggles his fingers with his guitar around his shoulders.

I notice a few of the parents on the first few rows and their eyes say 'save me'.

Their hearts say, 'These boys mean a lot to my daughter/son and I'm so happy to be here with them. You guys aren't as bad as we thought you were.'

I laugh at the thought and turn my attention towards Michael who is jumping around the stage like a maniac.

"For the last song, I say Ashton and I sing Heartbreak girl like old times." Michael runs up to me. The girls go crazy and my eyes are wide.

"But you and I were the ones singing in it." I say in his ear over the loud screams.

"This is the perfect opportunity to hear just our voices like it used to be. C'mon Ash, you and I can rock this thing" He ruffles my damp hair then wipes it on me with a grimace.

"Ashton! Ashton! Ashton! Ashton" Luke chants to the crowd and the rest of the boys start along with the rest of the arena. I give Mikey a look and he just bites his lip.

"Okay okay! We'll do it" I stand out from my drums and take the microphone in my hand.

"Just this once. I promise." Mikey smiles at me and takes off his guitar walking to the center of the stage with me.

"It's okay babe, you guys got this" Luke kisses my cheek and girls squeal. I giggle and nod "I know" I stand next to Mikey and look back at Luke and Calum fixing up their guitars.

"It weird we're about to sing just the two of us. Just last year we were doing this on freaking YouTube. Mate I love it" I give him a wink and he laughs into the mic.

Ashton:

You call me up,

It's like a broken record

Saying that your heart hurts

That you never get over him
getting over you.

And you end up crying

And I end up lying,

'Cause I'm just a sucker for
anything that you do.

Michael:

And when the phone call finally ends,

You say, "Thanks for being a friend,"

And we're going in circles again and again

Both:

I dedicate this song to you,

The one who never sees the truth,

That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.

Hold you tight straight through the day light,

I'm right here. When you gonna realize

That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?

Ashton:

I bite my tongue but I wanna scream out

You could be with me now

But I end up telling you what you wanna hear,

But you're not ready and it's so frustrating

He treats you so bad and I'm so good to you it's not fair

Michael:

And when the phone call finally ends

You say, "I'll call you tomorrow at 10,"

And I'm stuck in the friend zone again and again

Both:

I know someday it's gonna happen

And you'll finally forget the day you met him

Sometimes you're so close to your confession,

I gotta get it through your head

That you belong with me instead

We sing the chorus one more time and we basically rocked that whole song. I gotta thank the boys for this later.

I feel so good about myself, being able to sing with my best friend like old times. This time we aren't behind a camera. Even though that's all we are ever in now a days.

I couldn't be any happier.

I take a few minutes and just admire the crowd. Dramatic? I could really care less at this point.

"Thank you guys. So much for experiencing this with us. We will be back, this isn't the last time you will be seeing us here." Calum goes to the side of the stage and takes his guitar off.

"Now give it up for the main event!" I yell running back up to my drums.

"ONE DIRECTION!!" We all yell and run off the stage.
