Safety Pin • Luke Hemmings

Chapter 9

Band Interventions were always the worst.

You sat on Willow's drum stool while the other girls sat on the couch infront of you in my garage.
They asked you questions you didn't want to answer and they gave you responses you didn't want to hear.
And currently, I was in the hot seat.

"Can I start off this meeting because what the fuck." Kiara asked closing her eyes lightly.

"You weren't even there. I wanna start." Maddie wined pushing Kiara's shoulder that didn't budge.

"Why are we here again?" Willow had asked.

"I'll start," I said huffing putting my hands on my knees. "Yes, I am seeing Liam Payne, We've only been on a few dates. No, I will not break up with him for stuff that didn't happen with me or never happened in general."

Maddie groaned and threw her head back.
"They did happen Gi. He just never admitted it." Kiara said, "he's going to take you and throw you out like he does all his other bitches."

"I'm happy guys." I said letting out a dry laugh, "I haven't been happy in a long time so please. Just let me have this moment."

"You weren't happy yesterday when you saw Luke and Jazzy snogging in the hallway." Why did Maddie have to go back to that?

My light smile fell instantly and my jaw clenched.

"See, she's jealous," Maddie said bumping Kiaras and Willow's shoulders.

Kiara narrowed her eyes at me. She knew my look was not a jealous, fire fueled look but more of remembrance and pain.
"What aren't you telling us."

I messed with my fingers lightly, "I didn't want to tell you guys, because I didn't want you to look at Luke how I look at Luke. Our relationship was a mess and I didn't want that to affect your friendship."

"Never liked him," Willow said raising her arms slightly.
Kiara rolled her eyes at Willow's statement, "What's up?" She asked me.

I sighed, "Luke kissed Jasmine while we were dating. At a party during truth or dare." I said.

"That's not that bad, I mean it's during a game," Maddie said shrugging.

"I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl in the room."

Maddie let out a short inhale grimacing, "Yeah no that's bad."

Kiara shook her head and her arms at me, "you mean to tell me Luke kissed her instead of his own girlfriend?"

I shrugged, kicking my foot lightly to hit the coffee table in between us. "Something like that. But that was a long time ago. I've.... forgave... him for that so please don't hate him because of that."

"My view on him changes but I won't express it. Much." Willow said earning a nod from the other two girls.

"Perfect." I said standing up, "Now I have a date so lock the garage up when you're done."

Kiara groaned and threw her head back, "We weren't done with the Liam part of the discussion!"

A horn honked causing me to smile, "Yeah we are!"

Me and Liam were going out to dinner. Our relationship was moving... fast, I might say but maybe fast was what I needed. I met him alittle over a week ago but it felt fine.

"Hey babe." He said as I hopped into his car. He leaned across the middle to kiss me before driving off.
"Where are we going?" I asked.

"Lennetis." He said making me smile. It was a pretty fancy restaurant and by fancy I mean somewhere me and my friends never went to.
Liam was, Great.
