Keaton VS. Luke {Emblem3 and 5SOS}

He Hoped

°A Few Months Later°

I was sitting in the living room of our apartment. I was watching The X Factor on the TV. I was seeing last night's elimination round. Emblem 3 were

eliminated.

I fell inside. I haven't spoken to any of them in weeks. The last message I got from Keaton was

•so you're not going to reply?•

That was the same day I left for here. That was at 2:08 am. I stared at it after Luke left to go work. I read his multiple messages.

•i hope you have fun. I really am going to miss you. We all are•

•i just told the guys. Theyre sad but wish you guys luck•

•will we see you anytime soon? •

•im happy for you. You deserve to be happy.•

These were all in the same day. They threaded out over a few days time later, then slowly stopped.

•we have seats open up here at TXF. you're welcome to come. We wanna see you!•

•we made it through our performance! I don't know if you saw or not•

A week after that:

•hey Bree. Haven't spoken in a while. How are you? Like Australia? Okay, talk later. Gotta run.•

Then, finally. A few days ago:

•Bree, I know you're ignoring me. That's not right. We've been best friends since you moved to Cali. Why all of a sudden are you not responding? Its like you're not even trying. Is he keeping you from us? I more than anyone want to know.•

•this is the last message. I'm just going to say it. That's messed up of you to drop us like garbage when we were there for you for ages. You know its messed up too, I know you. Or, I KNEW you. This isn't like you. But you've changed. This isn't the Brianna we met at the restaurant, not the one we showed the beach to, not the one we made a friend of. You're not the girl we brought into our home, not the one who met our parents, not the one we all loved. I don't know where she is, but you must of left her somewhere like you left us. This is my last message to you. You don't care, why should I keep trying? He changed you. Or maybe we never meant that much in the first place. If you read these, don't reply. I don't reply to strangers. I hope you are happy, honestly, but know what you did hurt us. Have fun Brianna, live life to the fullest. Be happy with him. You deserve it. Bye.•

I didn't reply. I didn't tell him anything. I didn't call, I didn't text. I deleted his number through tears. I deleted photos of him and us, of Wes and Drew. I deleted their numbers too. I unfollowed their instagrams. I wanted them gone. I couldn't go back there again.

I couldn't let it happen again.
