WILL YOU STAY? {c.t.h}

eight: double date

june 31

"i'm confused." emma said as she plops down on bed beside me.

before we went home from the beach, ashton asked emma to be his girlfriend and she did not accept it. i don't know what's wrong with her, i thought she liked ashton.

"i just don't know. i like ashton, i really do. it's just that I feel guilty about luke, that i have lead him on or something."

luke said it was okay. he wasn't the type of guy who would lie about his feelings. he's very honest.

"em, you're lucky because luke is not in too deep for you. he likes you, yes, and he'll get over it. that's life. you can't get all what you want." i smiled and hugged her. i'm so bad at comforting and advising people, ugh why? "do you want to talk to luke? i can call him over if you want?"

em nods and excuses herself to go to the bathroom. meanwhile, i go over ashton's room and asked him to invite luke.

"emma wants to talk to him? what the hell? no. if you want him to come over, call him by yourself." ashton snapped at me, making me frown.

"she wants to settle things with luke before entering a new relationship with you. just so you know."

"f-fine. i'll call luke." he says as i smiled. plan worked.

i'm planning to leave the three of them here. not hoping for a chaos when i come back, i wish they'd talk things so it wouldn't be awkward. i just don't know where should i go.

*hannah calling*

that's odd. hannah never called me and we're not even that close. i still answered it anyways.

"hello?"

"becca! how are you?"

"i'm fine. how about you?"

"i'm good."

"sooooo i don't mean to be rude but why did you call?"

"i was wondering if maybe you could hang out with me and calum? if you're not busy or if you want to."

"ohh, uh i can but it's just that..." i don't like third-weeling.

"that?"

"n-nevermind. i'll come. where is it?"

"i'll text you my address, we'll all meet there. see you later!"

"bye."

*call ended*

at least I'm going somewhere. i'll just hope I wouldn't be out of place.

we're in a park and having a picnic. i should've worn comfortable clothes instead of what i'm wearing right now. i should wear shorts instead of skinny jeans since it's burning hot in here. i'm so dumb.

"aww don't worry too much. your outfit's fine." hannah's attempts to cheer me up. meanwhile...

"no, stop lying. you look crazy and your outfit do not fit in here." calum's rude comments. same old, same old.

"says the one wearing just like mine." i cocked my head opposite to his direction and dramatically sighed. our fights are so impossible to stop. everytime he sees me or i see him, it's like our greeting to insult each other.

"you guys stop being so annoying. if you continue doing that i'm taking hannah with me and we'll leave you both here." michael says and rolls his eyes at both of us, receiving a glare from me and calum and a chuckle from hannah. he's with us.
