"that's cool." I said. "how are the rest of the boys?"

"we're great. Ashton had a massive turn around, he started seeing a therapist, talked about his problems, and ever since then he's a new man! he would never lay a finger on anyone again in a viscous way. Calum is fab, and Michael is happier than ever." he finished. the mention of Michaels name gave me goose bumps.

Michael announced he was engaged on social media about a month ago. i have to say, it killed me inside.

"thats...good." I hesitated.

"you wanna come back to our place?" Luke asked.

"err, why are you in England anyway?" I asked him, trying to avoid his question. I don't know if I could face Michael.

"we're recording brand new songs which no one knows about yet, and we have to do it in England for some reason. we're here for another month." Luke said.

"there you are!" a voice called from behind me. I turned to see kacey walking up to me. "I thought you would be, you weren't at your flat. who's this?" she asked. Luke looked at her and grinned.

"sup babes." he joked. kacey's face lit up.

"Luke! oh my god!" she ran and hugged him.

"heya kace." he winked.

"why are you here?" she grinned. Luke explained the reason why they were here and asked us again if we wanted to go back to his place to see the other boys.

"you don't have to...just thought it would be fun to catch up." Luke sighed, making us feel guilty.

"I would've done anything for you Izzy!" he screamed, banging on the door. "don't do this to yourself!"

I sat on the bathroom floor, trying to ignore his voice.

"IZZY! OPEN THE DOOR!" he yelled. I didn't answer. I couldn't.

"IZZY! DON'T!"

"maybe another time." I said. "I'll give you my number Luke." he nodded and pulled out his phone and gave it to me. I took it and typed in my number and saved my name under "izzy🐠".

"ring me if you ever want to meet." I smiled.

"okay, I best be going. it was so nice to see you both." Luke grinned, and with that he walked off. I turned to kacey and we both let out a big sigh. I got out my chips and we both ate them on the way back to my apartment. we sat down on the sofas in my room.

"I can't believe that just happened." she said.

"same." I said. suddenly my phone rang. the number was unknown so I was debating whether to answer it.

"just answer it." kacey said. I nodded and picked up the phone.

"hello?"

"hey it's Luke."

"oh hey!"

"do you mind if I come over? just me. I just realised we have so much to catch up on!"

"err okay." I told him my details and hung up.

"lukes coming over." I said.

"just him?" kacey asked.

"yeah." I smiled. she nodded. we lounged around for a bit, watching American horror story on the tv.

"no Evan Peters is so hot though." kacey sighs. I grinned.

"he's like, cute hot." I said.

"no. he's sexy." she snaps. I giggle.

then there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it. but at the door was not Luke Hemmings.

"hey.."
