I got out in all black, but I have to wear a dress. So I wore it with lace boots.

I walk into a new house that Dad bought for my siblings. "I see Chelsea!" Two of my little cousins run up to me.

"We missed you, Chelsea." My little cousin looks up at me with her big brown eyes.

"And I missed you too." I pinch their cheeks.

I unzip my boots and put it aside, "hey Chels, glad you made it." I look up to Luke Hemmings.

"Why are you here?" I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

"Your brother invited me," Luke points over to Gabe.

"Of course, because you're my boyfriend." I mumbled.

Luke is still looking at me, "what is it?" I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Nothing." Luke mutters and held out his hand, "they're all waiting for you at the table." He says with a small smile on his face.

Like a sad one, and it breaks my heart because I can't do anything about it. Since I am not his girlfriend or his best friend anymore.

Or whatever.

;

I sit beside Luke at the dining table. It was filled with my relatives who I haven't seen in a while ever since I was 15.

Looking back, I realized how much I have changed because I left to LA.

"Chelsea." I look over to my Aunt, "yes?"

"Are you going to stay here? What are your plans?" She ask, taking a sip of her wine.

"I am going to stay here, you know once I am finished with my basketball and soccer season." I replied.

"Oh I heard it's going to be held in Australia next year so it's going to be convenient for you." She points out.

"And then you can spend more time with Luke." She adds.

"Yeah, that would be nice." I muttered and reach under the table and grabs Luke's hand.

;

Later in the night, most of them left.

I walk out of the house with Luke. "So we're gonna pretend like we're together till when?" He ask.

"Well, I don't know what to do Hemmings. Like why can't we just be best friends forever and ever and never kissed."

"Chels, I fallen for my best friend at age 6, just that she never noticed."

"It's because you never showed." I snap at him.

"Maybe I did but you're just not thinking much into it because I am just your best friend." He turns his back on me, "bye, Chelsea." He got into his car and drove off.

;

i got back to the hotel, sitting on the bed and calling Bailey on my phone.

"Hey chels, thanks for disturbing my sleep at 2am." She answered.

"And Luke called me saying that you might call me." She added. "He told you?" I raise my right brow.

"Just about everything, honey bear." I look down at the wooden floor.

"Chelsea, I don't know what's wrong with you. But Luke is gonna try so hard to get back with you. And you're not going to let him, he's gonna move on."

"I thought he already did." I bite down on my bottom lip.

"Wow, you are a fucking idiot." She mutters.

"Chelsea, I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you because you're not usually like this. I think like you're in some point of denial and that you're afraid of losing Luke Hemmings to Christie Goodwin but you're not gonna admit that because you're not that kind of person. But Chelsea, you need to."
