Out Of My Limit

Chapter 1

That was 8 years ago. Now Jessie, Luke, and I are all in our 10th year, while Michael and Calum are in their 11th and Ashton in his 12th. We are still as close as ever. The boys have started a band and Jessie and I are their "roadies" for when they gets gigs at coffee shops and the like.

We're in Ashton's garage so that the boys can practice, but there really isn't any practicing going on. Ashton is trying to teach Jessica how to play the drums. Mikey and Calum are playing Fifa, and Luke and I are just sitting on the couch messing around. "Luke stop throwing popcorn at me! You're wasting it!!" I say as he throws yet another kernel at me.

"I just love seeing your reaction! You squirm like a little puppy!" He throws another kernel at me but I dodge it. Somehow none of them have lost their Australian accents though they've lived here for so long. "But I'm hungry and I can't just go on eating the bloody popcorn off the floor!" He obviously doesn't care because he throws yet another kernel at me. "Alright Hemmings this is war!"

I say as I roll of the couch, which doesn't really work because our legs are tangled together so he falls off with me. Which gives me more time to grab kernels to throw at him. By the time I turn around to throw some at him he is on top of me and tickling me. "Okay-you wi--win, ju-just stop tick-tickling me!" I say between giggles. He stops tickling me, gets up and tries to help me up but we're both in socks so he falls back on top of me. Luke is not a small boy. I mean he used to be itsy bitsy but now he's super tall, all of the boys are.

I'm only 5'6" so having a 6' tall boy toppling on to you isn't the most fun thing in the world. "We have got to stop doing this!" He said smirking and looking down at me. I was almost positive I was blushing. Partly from the fact that I couldn't breathe and the fact that I've had a huge crush on the big idiot since our 6th year. He of course will never know this because we are just friends and that's how he will always think of us is Just. Friends. Jessica's the only one who knows, well her and Calum... And Michael.... And Ashton. But you know I'll get over it at some point.

"Uh pardon me but there are still other people in the room! If your going to make out go upstairs to his room!!" Michael yells out not looking away from the screen and scoring a goal yet again beating Calum. "Dammit Clifford! You have to be cheating there is no way in hell you could beat me every single time!" Calum says tossing his controller on the ground." Michael just stretches and sighs "You can't beat the master Hood it just doesn't work that way."

Me and Luke get up both of us blushing from Michaels comment. "I think I deserve some food who's up for some McDonald's?" Michael says getting up. "Food?" Luke and I say at the same time. We look at each other and laugh. We all head towards the garage door to get into our cars but Jessie pulls me back behind the group.

"Did you say the way Luke looked at you when he fell on you? And you say he can never like you." I roll my eyes about to go into an explanation that I've been through countless times before. "Jessica, we are Just. Friends. That's all we'll ever be, he doesn't like me, and I'm just going to have to get over it. Plus I don't want to ruin our fantastic friendship, by a relationship that might not even last." I tell her crossing my arms and looking down at the ground.

"Whatever you say. I can see it, I know Ashton sees it." I look at her with widened eyes. "You and Ashton talk about that?!" I whisper yell to her pulling her farther into the garage. "No we have talked about it, but its not like its a conversation that pops up often." She says shrugging her shoulders. "Well I guess its not that bad me and Luke have talked about you and Ashton countless times before, speaking of you guys looked kind of close over there on the drums, eh eh how's project Jashton coming along?" I say nudging her arm.

She widens her arm and begins blushing. "What the frick you guys have a ship name for us?!" She says lightly shoving me. I laugh, "That's beside the point we all know you like each other why not just make the first move?" I ask her while crossing my arms. "I-" She gets cut off by Michael. "Are we going to go celebrate yet another one of my victories or what?!" He says waving us along. "Saved by the bell." Jessica says and runs towards the garage door. "You still owe me and answer Greenstreet!" I say and run right behind her.
