If I could Fly | Luke
If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you
I think I might give up everything, just ask me to
Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down
Right now I'm completely defenceless
(13 years old)
He didn't realise how hard it actually was to be on tour. For years he had been jealous seeing all his favourite bands exploring the world, meeting fans and doing something that they loved. He saw it as the goal,the dream and the greatest thing he could ever experience. And of course he was extremely excited that he had this opportunity. However, he wasn't prepared for the sickness that would impact him. The home sickness that would follow him like a grey cloud causing the smile on his face to be washed away by his tears. The other boys suffered home sickness but never as severly as him. Perhaps it was because he was the youngest so the feeling of isolation was unfamiliar to him. He did miss his mother,father and brothers but he mainly missed her. She was only a teenager she had so much more to expericnce and he was scared that he wouldn't be there to help her. They were close, closer than anyone could imagine. Yes each night they would skpe but it just wasn't enough. But he just had to push though he knew that he would be home soon.
"Hey Y/N how have you been?" he asked as he looked at her smiling face in the laptop. It was 12 am there and he wasn't going to skype her because he knew it was so late but she said that it was fine. He understood what she meant because she was sat in her bedroom the lightds on, fully dressed and not a gingle ounce of a tiered xpression on her face. "I've been alright, I miss you" she replied. He smiled at her and nodded his head "yeah I miss you too sweetie" he replied. "How has the shows been going?" she asked. "really good, its great to see the crowd and hear them sing your lyrics, how's school?" She looked down to her lap and just shrugged,saying "not bad." He knew that she hated school and each day made her so upset. "Y/N tell me the truth" he demanded. She looked up with tearfilled eyes "It's awful Luke. the bullies and the teachers are getting worse. I can't deal with the enviorment" she sobbed. Fear and sadness ran through him "Y/N you need to tell mum and get inrolled into onlone school, I hated school while I was there too and yes my band isn't the best examples but you need school, you're smart girl so keep going with it" he told her. She nodded her head "Okay thank you Luke" she replied.
After discussing some funny stories from tour he looked and saw that they had been on the call for an hour meaning it was 1am there. "Honey maby eyou should get some sleep it's late there" he said. She just shrugged her shoulders "It's not like i'll sleep anyway" she said. He looked at her confused " ihaven't been sleeping good the past couple of weeks" she explained. "oh" was all he could reply, but guilt was running though him, he had left a couple of weeks ago so he knew that his leaving had caused it. "Is it because I am not there?" he asked. She looked down and then softly nodded her head. "Honey why don't I sing to you until you fall asleep?" he suggested. She nodded her head. So as he got his guitar she put her pj's on.
She snuggled closer into the covers as he began to play his guitar softly and began to play 'if I could fly' by one direction.
'If I could fly, I'd be coming right back home to you' her eyes began to droop down slightly, causing a smile to appear on his face.
'I think I might give up everything, just ask me to' her eyes dropped down and a soft yawn escaped her lips.
'Pay attention, I hope that you listen cause I let my guard down' her eyes shut completely
'Right now I'm completely defenceless' a soft snore escaped her lips and he had put the phone down.
