Disconnected Chapter Six Teaser
“Then there’s only one thing you can do.” Calum said after thinking about it for a moment. Luke looked at Calum quizzically wondering what his friend was talking about. “You’ve got to find her and prove her wrong. Show her the real Luke Hemmings. Show her how sweet, kind, and annoyingly romantic you are.” Calum told Luke nudging his broad shoulder with his own. “There’s no way she won’t love once she gets to know you.”
“Thanks Calum.” Luke said after a moment, emotionally touched by his friend’s words.
“And if all else fails,” Calum smirked. “Show her your wallet.”
“Ohhh Calum.” Luke sighed; face palming and shaking his head yet still smiling.
“I’m just saying,” laughed Calum as he stood up and patted Luke’s shoulder before walking towards the door to go back in the cottage, wanting to give Luke some privacy. “Stick a condom in between the credit cards!” he called over his shoulder.

To his left, Luke noticed an acoustic guitar resting on a stand. Not just any guitar, his guitar. The guitar he’d used all of those years ago when he was recording videos on his own and uploading them to YouTube. Before Michael and Calum had even come along, before Ashton had completed the band.
Luke felt his arm being pulled towards the guitar. He felt his fingers grasp and lift it by the neck and sling the strap over his shoulder. His fingers fell back into place, taking the shape of a C chord on his left hand while his fingers belonging to his right hand held onto the thin pick he didn’t remember having before. But he didn’t start to play just yet.
“This is ground control to Major Tom, you’ve really made the grade.” She started again. “And he papers want to know whose shirts you wear. And it’s time to leave the capsule if you dare.”
This time Luke joined in, his fingers using the pick to pluck and strum the right strings. Hammering on and pulling off of the fret board.
“This is Major Tom to ground control.” Luke sang. “I’m stepping through the door. And I’m floating in the most peculiar way.” Luke saw her head tilt slightly. Her chest rose as she took a deep breath.
Kay so these came from two different sections of the chapter......just to let you know. I mean, it’s called a teaser for a reason :p
