All Hidden Away

“Luke, where are we going?” I ask as we get into the black Range Rover. He hands me the aux chord and I smile as he pulls out of the drive way.
“Niall was right. You’re hopeless with surprises.” He says making me laugh as I plug in my phone and hit shuffle. Breaking Benjamin’s Dear Agony comes on and I quickly change it causing Luke to look at me in surprise.
“Long story…” I say switching it to Omen by The Prodigy. He stifles a laugh.
“Not the kind of music I thought you would be into…” he says making a turn to the left.
“Want me to change it?” I ask reaching for my phone.
“Nah, I’m curious. You can learn a lot about people listening to their music.” He says mysteriously. I lean for it.
“Well in that case, I’m changing it.” I say laughing as he shakes his head before making another left turn. I look out the window and see we are driving past Harry’s house.
“Uh…” I ask pointing.
“Just focus on the music.” He says laughing. I look down at my phone and hit next.
“Nights in white satin, never reaching the end. Letters I've written never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before. Just what the truth is I can't say any more…” I sing along before wanting to hit next again.
“Why aren’t you finishing a single song?” he asks laughing slightly.
“It’s just something I do I guess…” I say reaching for my phone.
“Okay, next song you have to leave for the entire song and sing along. No matter what.” He says making a right turn. I nod and hit next.
“Oh god no.” I say looking at Luke who smirks.
“Nope, you’ve got to follow the rules.” He says shrugging.
“Come on… Lets make an exception to these rules.” I say smiling as I look at the tall blond.
“Nope. Sorry. You got to listen to it.” He says smiling evilly.
“It’s about my brother!” I protest.
“Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights.” He sings and soon I’m singing to Style by Taylor Swift with Luke Hemmings. We don’t even hit the second chorus before he reaches for my phone.
“Please put on something decent.” He laughs handing it to me before turning left. I shake my head.
“I don’t even know why that’s on my phone… Finally!” I say as a good song comes on. Luke nods and smiles.
“Her name is Noel
I have a dream about her
She rings my bell
I got gym class in half an hour
Oh how she rocks
In Keds and tube socks.”
We both sing along, me slightly dancing in the passenger seat. Looking out the window I see we are driving past the house again. Luke sees me looking and shakes his head.
“No looking out the window!” he says making another right turn.
“Luke are we even going anywhere?” I ask laughing.
“Shh, more music.” He says smiling like a kid. I laugh and wait for the next song to come on.
Fun’s We Are Young is next. We start singing and I continue looking out the window defying him. I frown after a while and change it again.
“Oh my god, woman! Stop changing the songs!” he laughs making another left turn.
“Okay fine! I won’t change…” I say hitting next and putting it back in the cup holder. The colour floods to my face as I realise what song it is. I reach for it but he smacks my hand away gently. Once the song is further in I turn to see Luke laughing and when the verse starts he sings along emphasising the notes.
“So one, two, three take my hand and come with me because you look so fine that I really want to make you mine!” I laugh at him and have an intense need to video this… Ash would be so pleased with this ‘Online content.’
“I say you look so fine that I really want to make you mine.” I join in and sing along.
“Big black boots, long blonde hair” I point at him making a funny face causing him to laugh harder. “She’s so sweet with her get back stare.”
We sing till the end and I notice Harry’s house again.
“I swear, something about this road seems oddly familiar… like a sense of de já vu.” I say looking at him. He rolls his eyes.
“Really? That’s so weird…” we sit and laugh for a while as we continue driving past the house.

Luke sings loudly to Year 3000 by Busted while drumming slightly on the steering wheel.
“You know this was one of the first songs our band covered?” he says turning right for a change.
“Really? I love this song.” I say absentmindedly humming along.
“Yeah, the fans call them… baby videos?” he asks.
“Foetus.” I say before I realise. I cup a hand over my eyes in embarrassment. “Nope… sshhh… no questions.” I say pointing at him as he gives me a questioning look. He waits a few seconds before asking.
“How did you know?” he asks laughing. I blush slightly.
“I watch a lot of the 1D ones when I’m missing Harry and Lou around the house.” I say quietly. “They were real back then…” He nods in understanding. “Tell them and I kill you Hemmings…” he raises his hands in defeat.
“How often do you get to see them?” he asks looking at me quickly before turning back to the road.
“It depends on their tours and things, less than I’d like.” I say truthfully.
“Yeah, tour can be fun at all but I miss my family too. At least I’m with my three best friends most of the time though.” He says shrugging. I nod and think about tour.
“Where is your family based?” I ask genuinely interested.
“Sydney mostly. Moms pretty involved in the band and I have two other brothers who just… yeah, older brothers.” He says laughing. “What about your folks?” he asks.
“My folks separated when I was quite young, Hazz and Gem spent a lot of time with me growing up. When mum got remarried a couple of years ago or so, we were really happy for her.” I pause not sure if I should continue with my thoughts. “It was a bit awkward though because I wasn’t really allowed to be in many photos with everyone for obvious reasons…” I say looking out the window. “Mum got scared when her ICloud got hacked into, and Harry got seriously pissed off…He was worried about mum and her privacy, but also he and everyone were on edge in case they found the pics of me, but yeah… shit happens.” I say nonchalantly even though it did hurt at the time of the wedding.
“Is it hard?” I let the question linger slightly.
“What?”
“Like, being hidden all the time. Not being allowed to spend time with the family.” I don’t know if I should bore Luke with this sad sob story. I turn to look at him and see him shooting me sad glances.
“Sometimes… especially the family bit. But people not knowing you have a famous brother has also had its perks. The negatives sometimes feel they outweigh the positives. But I mean… I look at Gem and how she gets followed everywhere she goes, and like Lou and the guy’s family… hell even Lux. And I just… it’s been nice going to school and just being a normal person and knowing my friends are friends with me, not because of my brother is also nice. So they sort of equal to the positives at times. I mean my best friend; Mish knew… but otherwise I was just another face in the crowd which is how I liked it.” I say smiling. He nods but still looks like somethings bothering him. He doesn’t say anything though.
“What?” I ask when he doesn’t say anything.
“I just don’t understand how you’ve kept it for so long even though there are people digging in your families lives every day, every hour more like it.” I shrug and laugh.
“Modest! is fantastic at keeping things hidden and covering up so called ‘mistakes’…such as this one time. Uh, Hazz and I went to this place we go to get away or just talk and whatever. It’s kinda like a tree house? So it was just after my ex and I broke up, and some asshole got a pic of me leaning on Hazz’s shoulder. Suddenly Harry was cheating on Caroline Flack. I was in shit for that one.” I say smiling slyly. He nods as Evanescence’s Call Me When You’re Sober starts playing. I sing along loudly at one of my favourite songs.
“Don’t cry to me, if you loved me you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind…” I stop after the first chorus and listen to her beautiful voice.
“Why’d you stop singing?” he asks smiling. I look at him and shrug. “You’re really good.” He says making me scoff.
“Thanks.” I say awkwardly smiling at him and shaking my head.
“No seriously, you can – you sing really well.” He says as I roll my eyes at him. “Don’t believe me?” I smile but don’t say anything. He reaches into his back pocket and hands me his phone. “Go on, send a Snap to the boys from me and see what they say.” He says dead seriously.
“That’s not happening, Luke.” I say handing his phone back to him.
“Fine, then I will.” He takes my phone and goes back to the beginning of the song. He does something on his phone and holds it in his hand that rests on the steering wheel.
“You ready?” he asks smiling and shooting me a glance.
“Luke, I’m not doing this.” I say seriously but still smiling. He turns to me with puppy dog eyes. “Not happening.” I say as he reaches for the phone to start the song.
“I’ll tell you where we are going…” he says smiling. I think about it and restart the song.
“I cannot believe…” I mumble shaking my head. I snatch the phone out of his hand and hit play.
“Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
Should I let you fall, lose it all
So maybe you can remember yourself?
Can't keep believing
We're only deceiving ourselves
And I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late
Don't cry to me, if you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me, come find me
Make up your mind
Couldn't take the blame, sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game, selfishly hated
No wonder you're jaded
You can't play the victim this time
And you're too late”

I start getting lost in the song as I look out the window. Cliché I know but it’s true.
“Okay, I’m done.” I say looking back at Luke and turning down the music as he stops his phone.
“Good, because we are here.” He says smiling. I smile and shake my head. He timed that so he didn’t have to tell me anything, the shit. He parks the car and gets out. Before I even have taken off my seatbelt he is opening my door for me.
“Milady.” He says helping me out the car.
“Thank you, sir.” I say standing and looking around at the little park type hide away we were at. I heard music playing in the background. “Where are we?” I ask slightly confused.
“I have no idea…Found it by accident.” he says smiling as he starts walking into the little green clearing. Shaking my head, I follow him until I see a set up picnic lunch and table.
“Oh my god… Luke, this is awesome!” I say looking around.
“You can thank the lads for that. They set it up.” He says awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. “We have lunch over there, and then our next location is going to be the fun part”. I smile and turn back to see Luke opening the picnic basket.
“Nandos… why am I not surprised…” I say sitting down and crossing my legs on the blanket. I pull off a note.

Please bring home left overs xx Niall

I laugh loudly and show Luke. He smiles and hands me a paper plate, and a lemon and herb burger with chips and a can of coke.

“No, but you don’t understand!” I say laughing. “It was so embarrassing, Luke! All the lads and their girlfriends were there and – okay well obviously Eleanor knew I excited – but like Danielle didn’t and so I’m sitting having dinner with everyone and by now it’s like ten! So Danielle turns to Harry, and says ‘You’re such a nice guy to be having dinner with a fan.’ ” Luke starts laughing. “But of course this is as I take a sip of my wine, and I swear it shoots out of my nose straight onto Louis and this new suit of his!” Luke is laughing manically as I wave my arms around telling him the story. “And then everyone tried to cover it up and Hazz was just like ‘sorry, but she’s actually mu sista.’” I say impersonating him. “And that was the day I ruined Louis’ suit and was the most embarrassed ever.” I say concluding and answering his question with a shrug.
“God that’s awful!” says Luke still laughing. I roll my eyes and shake my head.
“Okay, my turn.” We had sat playing 21 questions while we ate for the past forty or so minutes. “Uh, something you have always wanted to do but never admitted to anyone. Like not even Mikey and them…” I say looking at him and finishing my coke. He frowns and plays with his lip ring before looking up and smiling evilly.
“I can’t tell you.” He says standing up. I raise my hand questioningly.
“How’s that fair?” I ask still smiling like an idiot.
“Because we are about to go do it.” He says pulling me up. I laugh as he drags me to the car.
“What about all this stuff?” I ask looking back at the blanket.
“Boys are coming to clean it up now.” he says opening my car door for me. I thank him and slide in waiting for him to get in his side.

“Alright, DJ. What are we listening to?” he asks smiling at me before running a hand through his hair. I smile and connect my phone.
“What do we want to listen to?” I ask looking through my copious amounts of music. A sly grin covers his face.
“Your guilty pleasure.” He says smiling. I wince in thought. I already felt like we had opened up to each other so much today.
“Uh… you sure?” I ask sceptically. He looks over and nods his head a single time. I find the song and turn up the speakers as loud as I dare. Soon, House of Wolves by BMTH, the live at Wembley version, is blasting through the speakers and I am head banging along with Oli Sykes cussing at his fans. Luke starts laughing and I see that he is laughing so hard he is actually nearly crying. I turn it down slightly.
“I did try to warn you.” I say shyly.
“Ahh, that just made my day!” he says shaking his head and stopping at the traffic light. I stop it and unplug my phone and hand him the aux.
“Go on then.” I say when he looks at me quizzically. He shrugs and continues driving.
“Give me your phone and let’s play your guilty pleasure.” I say laughing. He smirks and hands me his phone. I grab his hand off the steering wheel and use his thumb to unlock his phone. He sighs in defeat as I connect it.
“Lindsey Sterling…” he says and I smile.
“Really? I love some of her stuff.” I say as I find her song Electric Daisy Violin.
“Just not what most people expect me to listen to.” He says shrugging but tapping his hands along to the song. “Where nearly there by the way… you’re wearing sneakers of some sort right?” he asks leaning over and peeking at my feet. I lift it up my foot wearing a converse and place it on the dashboard.
“Nice shoe… But get it off my dashboard before I cut it off.” He jokes smirking. I laugh and shake my head. We drive and listen to some Foo Fighters, Blink 182, TØP and some All Time Low before we pull of the main road and start heading in the opposite direction.
“Luke… are we lost?” I ask laughing as he pulls up a GPS on his phone.
“Not currently, but I got lost when I came here earlier so I don’t want that to happen again.” He says smiling and continuing driving. Soon we are pulling up to another park but this one was a lot less private.
“Okay.” Says Luke triumphantly. “We made it, and we’re on time.” He says opening his door and hoping out. I follow him and we joke slightly as we walk over to wherever we are currently headed.
I look up and smile manically.
“Oh my god…” I say practically jumping up and down with excitement.
“Yeah… Niall suggested it.” I turn back to Luke and smile even harder as I see how excited he is that I’m this excited.
“OH MY GOD!” I say again turning back to the monstrosity in front of me. “Harry is going to kill you!” I say laughing as I walk over.
“Yeah… but hey, I wanted us to have fun.” He follows me and soon another person appears carrying the equipment we need. Luke takes it off him and hands it to me.
“For you, Milady.” He says handing it over. I take it in my hands and can’t stop the smile that spreads across my face as I hold the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. “Safety first…” he says.
“Okay, best date idea ever… I haven’t done this is years!” I say pulling on the elbow and knee pads. He hands me a helmet.
“Please don’t die…” he says laughing. I smile and shake my head.
“Same to you.” I say clipping the helmet on and turning to see a stereotypical skater standing behind me.
“I was told you were a newbie?” he asks smiling as I put on the safety equipment correctly.
“Yeah, his informants would kill me if they knew I had done this before.” I say making Luke laugh. I stick out my hand. “Tasha.” I say smiling.
“Oh I know… I’m Chris. Okay, so Luke, Tasha. Ready to do some skateboarding?” he asks smiling.

Luke’s POV

“Okay, now Tasha? See if you can jerk it so you are stop-starting almost?” Says Chris smiling at her as she moves around like she was born doing this.
“You alright there, mate?” he asks me as I try awkwardly to do the task I was given.
“Yeah, I think I’m getting the hang of it…” I say crouching down and moving like I was told, wobbling madly.
“Yeah dude! That’s it.” Chris encourages before we both turn to see Tasha bail after jerking too far forward.
“Ooh!” I hiss as I see her hit the floor then turn onto her back and start giggling before getting back up and trying again.
“Must say mate, I’ve never worked with someone who looks like they actually enjoy falling off… and then getting back up like nothing happens.” He says shrugging as he kicks up his skateboard and catches it in his hands.
“Okay, screw this and just teach me that part.” I say laughing as I look to see Tash successfully jerking her way across the pathway. Chris laughs and attempts to teach me and my uncoordinated long lanky limbs.

“So how long have you two been together?” asks Chris me as I kick up my board and nearly catch it. I swallow awkwardly and watch her in the big hollow pool type thing with someone teaching her to ride the curves.
“Uh, this is actually our second… third?… second date but I’m mates with her family and been friends for a couple of weeks now.” I say thinking of what Claire would have wanted me to say.
“Weeks? I for sure would have said at least a year. You look like best friends…” he says also watching her. She runs slightly and jumps up onto her board and crouches down as she pulls it off flawlessly.
“Yeah… she’s… she’s amazing.” I say not really thinking. It then clicks that I can’t actually be saying these things. Harry would kill me… and Louis would devour me whole… I move closer to where she is standing not wanting to answer more questions. I watch as she tries to build up speed. It’s not long before gravity throws her against the floor… Hard. I hear a muffled moan and my heart beat quickens as I see her lying on the floor with a grimace on her face. I’m so screwed.
“Tasha? You okay?” I ask carefully as she slowly gets back up, adjusts her pads and helmet before looking at me, smiling that ridiculously warm smile and shooting me a thumbs up.
“What did I do wrong?” she asks Chris who is now next to me.
“You can’t be trying do such difficult tricks until you can ollie on land.” he says laughing. She smiles manically. I turn to Chris.
“Stop giving her ideas! If she gets hurt, I’m done for.” I laugh as she runs up the side and pulls herself out looking super pro.
“Bit of a daddy’s girl are we?” Chris asks her laughing as she stands.
“Nah, he’s scared of my brothers.” She says laughing and shooting me a wink. I shake my head and try to ignore the heat on my cheeks.
“You would be too if you saw or new them…” I mumble to Chris.
“You’re taller than him, you penguin!” she laughs at me as I shrug and pull a tongue at her as my face heats up more rapidly.
“Shut up and learn how to ollie already.” I say rolling my eyes and smiling at her. She looks so determined as Chris teaches us the basics. I was surprised at how close we both were to getting it. On Tasha’s last try she fell quite badly, scrapped her thigh through her jeans on the cement leaving a few new wholes in her pants, and was definitely going to have a bruise or two tomorrow, but I understand how addictive it is to try get it right.

After close to two hours we were both getting tired and starting to fumble more and more. Chris began rounding up the lesson.
“Okay so you’re going to need to practice this one… Luckily for you I’m going to give you the board so-”
“What? Seriously?” she asks grinning from ear to ear her eyes growing huge, exposing the beautiful green orbs... Seeing her smile like that just causes everyone else to smile I promise you… Shit. Shut up, Lucas.
“Yes, but I do expect to see the both of you love birds around. We need more great girl skaters.” He looks at me. “And you…You’ve got plenty potential mate.” I nod and extend my hand in a hand shake.
“Thanks, maybe as a comedy act, but otherwise I’ll leave the skateboarding to the likes of you and Tasha.” I say smiling at him. He laughs and soon we are on our way, with Tasha proudly carrying her first skateboard… that we know of.
“Oh my god, Luke. That was so much fun! Thank you.” She says smiling as we get back to the car. I smile and open her door for her.
“I’m glad.” I say she smiles and climbs up as I put our boards and pads in the back. I walk around to my side and as I climb up I feel a huge bruise forming from where my board hit me on my upper thigh while trying to catch it. I sit in and soon we are headed to back to H’s, both smiling like idiots and singing along to both of our favourite songs which so happen to often be the same songs.
