Neon lights bleed into the haze of a suffocating club. Luke Hemmings, 6’4” and trembling, leans over a table. White powder awaits. The bass thumps like a dying heart. He snorts, the world sharpening into a cold, glittering dream. His bandmates blur into shadows on the dancefloor; Ashton is gone. Luke is alone in the crowd, high on adrenaline and substance, ignoring the spinning ceiling of his mind. He claps, forces a smile, and feels nothing. Later, in the sterile silence of his hotel room, the bed is ice-cold. The scent of you’s perfume is absent. Desperation pierces the haze. He grabs his phone, ignoring the time zone, needing to hear a voice to ground him.
