The Neighbor (5 SOS fan-fiction)

Did I Call That or What?

Aly's POV

So my estimation for when they would break up was off, it's been almost a month. This week is Thanksgiving back in the states and I have decided to just go away for the week and be back for work this weekend. My week shifts have been completely been messed with so I only work on weekends and on Friday evening. Yeah, that was great.

I have everything packed into a bag for the week I am gone and intend on just riding my vespa around the area and maybe venture around the country. None of the boys know my plans, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Luke knows. I just have to pack my toiletries before I am ready to go.

"Aly you there?" I hear Ash's voice on the other side of the door. My body reacts to the sound of his voice and I don't know if I want it to do that.

"Yeah what's up?" I say as soon as I open the door. Then I look up at his face and it looks like his heart has been shattered. "Oh Ash what happened?" I ask pulling him into my room and have him sit in the comfy relaxing chair.

"She cheated on me. I mean we weren't exactly a thing, but I just thought..." he trails off and I just sit in his lap and pull him close to me.

"Oh Ash I am so sorry," I say just holding him close and wanting to make the pain stop.

We sit there for a while and then he calms down enough to where he can look at me without tears in his eyes.

"So what were you doing before I came crying to your door?" he jokes but I know that there is pain behind his voice.

"I was getting ready to take off for a while," I am not telling him what my plans were. Then his eyes notice the packed bag by the chair.

"How long were you planning?"

"Not too long," I say sounding incredibly guilty for no apparent reason.

"Oh, can I ask where you're goin?"he sounds like a little kid asking something of an adult.

"Around the city and close by places. I just can't be here stuck where everytime I walk in here I can't help but think about how much pain Felix is in. I just need to get out," I say as I get out his lap.

"So you're just gonna leave, and take on Australia on your own. You're crazy, let me go with you," he says standing infront of me.

"What?" I am shocked at him.

"Let me go with you, I need to leave too and I don't think you'll wanna haul that on the vespa. Plus you need a guide," he smirks sightly then it disappears.

"You really don't-" I start but he interrupts me midsentences and steps so we are chest to chest.

"Yeah you actually do, you have barely been off campus when I'm not drivin'. Please just let me go with you," he says and those damn puppy eyes pop out. And I can never say no to them, and I am almost sure he knows that I can't say no.

"Fine, but those puppy eyes aren't fair damn it," I groan but he is happy, so I don't mind. I at least could help with the heartache.

So he left to go get food with Michael and I see them off but once they leave I head over to Luke's room.

"Hey Aly," he says and I cut him off from saying anything past that.

"They broke up. Ash and Jane, they have finally ended, you were right a couple of weeks." I say as I walk into the room and sit in Ash's desk chair.

"Did I call that or what? I am good," he chuckles and looks at me like he is hiding something.

"What are you hiding, I can see it in your eyes," I say looking him right in the eyes.
