~One year latter.~

•Emily•
It's been a year since me and Michael kissed. Currently me and the boys are staying at theyr LA house. It's pretty cool. They showed me my own room and we have lived here for about 2 or 3 months now. They have to record new songs and all that stuff, while I have to vlog what we all are doing for "Awesomeness TV". My youtube carer has grown, I have 1M subscribers and that's sick! Now me and Luke are like best buddy's, Calum is like an annoying little brother, Ashton is like a father to all of us and Michael.... well that's a different thing now. He have changed, a lot, and that's all because....because of her...
Long story short, after that kiss nothing happened. We kept living like nothing happened. At the start I was sad, but I moved on. Then He had to go to LA for a bit and while he was there, I was still in Sydney. When the boys came back they weren't just 4 of them. Michael had found himself a girlfriend. Her name is Abigail.
Since he and Abigail is a thing he isn't talking to me much. We don't play video games together, we don't hangout, we don't even talk much and that's all couse of her. It hurts, a lot, only one that knows that I'm not really okay with this is Luke. He doesn't like her ether.

It was about 5am and I couldn't sleep. I got hungry so I get out of my bed. Everyone else was still sleeping so I quietly opened the door and stepped in the hallway. Right before I stepped on the stairs I heard two voices talking. I stopped in my truck and just listened to understand who was talking. "Why the fuck I can't talk with her?" A raspy voice said. "Huh? What are you talking about babe?" Girls voice asked. Abigail. "You know about what I'm talking about Aby! You don't let me talk to Emily." Michael said. "Well I don't really like that slut. I don't think you should talk to her. That's why babe." She said and I got this hurting feeling, but at the same time I was angry at her. The pain was stronger than anger, and I felt tears forming in my eyes. I fast ran the downstairs and out of the house, slamming the door behind me. I didn't care, do I wake someone up or nah. I didn't really have a place where I could hide and cry it all out so I just kept running down the street crying.

I woke up and heard Michael talking. Since I couldn't sleep anyways I got out of my bed. I was almost at my rooms door when I heard what Abigail said about Emily. "Well I don't really like that slut." That was all I heard before door slamming. "Emily" I whispered to myself I quickly went to the stairs when Michael run into me. I pushed him back. "Dude, what the fuck?" Michael said looking at me all confused. "You will stay here." I said in angry voice. "Why? She's my best friend! I care about her!" He spoke again trying to get past me. "She's my best friend I care about her. Yeah nice joke dude!"
"What is wrong with you Luke?"
"Go back to your slut! You have hurted Emily enough. She doesn't deserve this!"
"What did you say about me?" Abigail came in the wiev.
"What you heard!" Shouthed on her.
"Don't talk like that to her."
"I don't care what you say. You don't care about anyone here!" I said harshly to Michael and pushed him back once more. I run down the stairs and out of the house trying to find Emily.

I run as fast as I could down the street until I saw her. "Emily!" I shouthed. She didn't stop. "Emily! Wait!" I shouthed again. I tried to run even faster to cache up on her. I wasn't even 10 feet away from her when I saw a car coming right on us. I cached her in my arms and fast went of of the road. She hugged me thingy and didn't let go. She was crying. "What have I ever done to him or her?" She cried out burying her head in my chest. I didn't know what to say. I just held her in my arms and let her cry. It hurted to see her like this. It's not like I have feelings for her or something, but I truly care about her. She's like a sister to me.

Since we're in LA, it's really easy to hurt Emily. Her psychological stair is pretty low. She's have been depressed for awhile now and guess who's foult was that? Michaels.
How can he not see that? Ok no. I get it. He have been blinde since he's with Abigail. She's heartless and scarry. I feel like she'll kill me at night while I'll be sleeping for just saying good morning to Emily.

Emily was slowly calming down. She still was sobbing in my chest so I picked her up in my arms and started to walk up the street back to the house. "Why are you so nice to me Luke?" She asked between sobs. "Well you're like a sister to me... and why shouldn't I be nice to you?" I asked looking down at her. "I don't know. I'm a slut ya know. Abigail said it." She said looking at me with her red puffy eyes. "You're not a slut Em. If anyone here is slut then it's Abigail." She looked abigail me in confusion. "If Michael wouldn't be blinde he would see that Abigail is secretly sleeping with like 4 other guys." I said and she looked shocked. "What? How can you be so sure?" She asked still shocked. "I have cought her with them all."
"Then why haven't... why haven't you told Michael?"
"Uh... uh I'm scared?" I said blushing.
"You're blushing Luke." She pointed out and I stopped walking putting her down. "You just had to say that didn't you?" I looked at her and a little giggle escaped her lips. "Yes." She said and I laughed. "I don't really wanna go inside yet." Emily said. "We could go get some ice cream and go for a walk in park." I suggested. "Yeah I would like that."
"Yeah me to. But I think we should get inside and dress up in something else." I laughed pointing at her in her jigglypuff pj's. "Fuck you hemmings!" She said and I just laughed.

We went back to the house and when we got in I went stright upstairs to my room not wanting to see anyone. I quickly garbed some ripped skinnies and a thank top. Threw on some red converses and tight a red flannel around my waist. I took my favorite snapback and my pink penny board. Grabbed my phone and went out of my room. "You ready?" Luke asked coming out of he's room. "Wait. I forgot money." I said and quick ran back in my room. I went out of my room once again and down the stairs. "Where are you two going? " Ash asked. "Outside." I said back. Before I could open the doors Michael stepped in front of me. "What.do.you.want." I asked saying dramatically. "I wanna talk." He said not letting me go outside. "What if I don't want to talk to you?" "I won't let you exit."
"Dick." I said turning around. Me and Luke went to the backdoor. "There's a fence. You can't get out there." Michael said from behind. We went outside. "Oh really? Watch me!" I said and jumped, leading on the other side of fence. Luke jumped after me. It wasn't really the first time me and Luke were doing this. Last time we did this when we forgot the keys to the front door and nobody was home.We walked to the street and went our way to the park.

To be hones it was ool to just chill with Luke around the park. It really helped. "I'll go get ice cream. What'd want?" I asked getting up from the swings. "Just strawberry ice cream." He said swinging like a little kid. I laughed and went to the ice cream stand. "Two strawberry ice creams please." I said to the girl. "Here she gave me the ice creams and I gave her money. I went back to swings and gave one ice cream to Luke. "Maybe let's go to Starbucks latter?" I asked and Luke looked at me with that creepy smile of hes. "Gosh Luke. You're like addicted to Starbucks." I said and we both got up from the swings. We went to Starbucks and ordered our drinks. Got our drinks and sat down at one table. Me and Luke always played this one game if I can call it like that. Basically I pointed at one person and asked what Luke thinks about her or him. "Okay that guy." I said pointing at one dude. "I don't know, he has really weird pants." He said and we both giggled. "Oh that lady." I pointed and Luke looked at her. "Oh I think that's a guy."
"Op my bad." I said. Then I saw one really pretty girl sitting alone at a stole. "And what about that girl, Huh?" I said and pointed at her. "Where?" Luke asked and I pointed again. He saw her and he just stared at her. It was abweous he liked her. "Go talk to her." I said. "What?"
"You heard me. Go talk to her."
"What? No. I don't even know how to start a normal conversation." He said and I giggled.
"Go get her dude!" I said and pushed him off of he's seat.

•Luke•
Emily pushed me to the side of that really pretty girl. She had dark hair and a really pretty face to be honest. She sat there alone. I went her way and sat at her table in front of her. "Hi!" I said. "Uh hi!" She said back looking a bit confused. "Why is pretty girl like you sitting alone here?" I asked. "Excuse me. Do you know me?" She asked. "No, but I would like to know. I bet you would like to know me too."
"Dude. You ok?" She asked me.
"Yeah why?"
"Dude! You're Luke Hemmings. Of course I know who you are." She said and only then I saw that she had my bads phone case.
"Well since you know me, I would like to know your name too." I said and winked at her.
"Sara."
