Got a Secret?

Courtney's POV

Ashton sat on my bed as I turned the shower on and opened the door to my closet to grab a towel. “You can just chill here if you want. I don’t really care. Just know that Casey might barge in here and if she is with Michael take pictures… k?” I said with a smile before heading into the already steamy bathroom. I pulled off my underwear and hung up my towel on the back of the door, pulled aside the curtain and stepped under the stream of water. I washed myself quickly and turned off the shower. I opened the bathroom door ever so slightly and called out. “Ashton?”

“Yeah.” He responded.

“Just wanted to know what time it is.” I asked him.

“Uhh yeah. It’s 6:57.”

“Thanks. Can you text Luke and tell him that I say he needs to be here at my room by 7:45 and we are leaving at 8. Thanks!” I said not waiting for a response before I shut the door. I dried my body quickly and got to blow drying my hair, then styling it into simple curls. I put on makeup and pulled on my underwear before walking out of the bathroom again. Ashton was lying down on my bed doing something mindless on his phone and I took another look at my bedside clock, 7:36. “Did you text Luke?” He looked up seemingly surprised.

“Oh uhm, yeah. He responded like 20 minutes ago saying he would be here.”

“Okay thanks. Now tell me what you think of my outfit.” I said while pulling a hanger out of my closet.

“Oh… well the pants are, colorful. That’s for sure.”

“I know Ash, they’re statement pants. Boys.” I just with a grunt. I pulled on my clothes and accessories and did a slow turn in front of Ashton, showing off my outfit. “I think I look hot.”

“You always look hot.” He said, barely audible.

“What was that?” I asked.

“Nothing.” But it was too late I had heard what he said. I was going to say something but Luke had knocked on the door. I opened it with a swing.

“Holy crap bro. You look like shit. Wow.” I said. He had dark circles under his eyes, his hair was disheveled and his shirt was inside out. “What happened?” I asked pulling him into my room. “Okay we have 15 minutes. I am fixing you. Ashton. Up!” I said pulling him off my bed. “Luke how much sleep did you get last night?”

“Uhm.. about 1 hour.”

“WHAT?! Why would you only… you know what nevermind we have to hurry. Ashton please fix his shirt and hair, I’m getting my makeup.”

“Court, I am not wearing makeup.” Luke protested.

“Like hell you’re not, you want to get one hour of sleep at night, your punishment can be wearing makeup.” I said before handing him over to Ashton and walking into the bathroom to get my concealer and I walked back out. “Ashton, do his hair from the back I need to be square on to his face.” I said and got to work on making his face look normal, or at least less deathly looking. Finally, at 7:59, Ashton and I decided we were more or less satisfied with how Luke looked. “Alright.. it’ll have to do. God you still look like you just crawled out of a grave. Jesus Luke, you need to take care of yourself. I cannot believe you.” I sighed and grabbed a bottle of wine that we were going to give to our parents and walked out of the room. “Come on Luke, we have a 2 hour drive ahead of us. You can sleep in the car for all I care, not that it would help.” I added under my breath.

~~1.5 hours into the drive~~

Luke was asleep and I was listening to the radio quietly when One Direction came on, I sighed and turned the channel to a half-staticky news report when Luke began to mumble in his sleep. I turned the radio down every so slightly and leaned towards him a few inches. “Niall… I have to tell you. We are touring with him… One Direction….. I’m sorry.” There was a pause. “Courtney, please stop. Please.” And he fell silent again. It couldn’t mean anything. It’s a dream, and of course they would want to go on tour with One Direction, they are probably the most famous group of people right in the world right now. Yeah. It meant nothing. Thats when my phone began to ring. Casey, I would let it go to voicemail, when we got to Sydney I’ll check it. I turned the volume of the radio back up for the next 20 minutes until I pulled off at the first exit for Sydney. I turned into the gas station and began to fill up my tank and decided to listen to Casey’s voicemail, if she left one.

Casey’s POV

“I just hope Luke follows through and tells her today. They are going to be here in what 2 weeks?” I asked Michael.

“Actually babe, 1 week and 2 days.” He said back, kissing my cheek.

“Exactly my point. If he doesn’t tell her today then next thing you know One Direction has showed up at the doorstep of the school and she is completely blind-sided, especially with the fact that she needs to go on tour with them.” I said, beginning to speak faster. Michael grabbed my hand and kissed it gently when Ashton and Calum threw open the door.

“HAHAHAHA WE TOTALLY KNEW IT!!” Ashton shouted, high-fiving Calum.

“Oh my god.” I said. These boys, so stupid. “You are all ridiculous.” I pulled out my phone to text Courtney and Luke what they needed to buy in Sydney when I realized I had been calling Courtney the whole time. “SHIT!” I shouted over their rambling. “SHIT SHIT SHIT! Guys, I called Courtney… She heard everything.” Ashton and Calum didn’t get it but Michael did.

“Well hang up Casey, don’t just stand there!! Hang up!” He shouted.

“Fuck!” I said as I fumbled trying to press the end call button. “FU-!”

Courtney’s POV

I pulled the phone away from my ear, shocked. I paid for the gas and took the pump out of the car, threw my phone on the drivers seat and slammed the door shut.

Luke’s POV

I woke up with a sudden jolt and saw Courtney walking away from the car. I grabbed my phone to call her and ask where she was going but her phone just rang from the seat next to mine. I jumped out of the car calling after her. “Court! Where are you going?” She spun around on her heel.

“Apparently I’m travelling the world with you, my ex, and a bunch of other rando’s I’ve never met. But correct me if I’m mistaken. You jackass.” She said before turning back around and following the sidewalk to a diner next to the gas station. I sighed and went back to the car to pull it up in front of the diner. I sat down in the drivers seat when I decided to check her phone. I pressed the little phone symbol. Casey? I listened to the entire voicemail. In two minutes Courtney had found out everything I was trying to word so perfectly.

“Shit.” I said, slumping back into the seat.
