Elia's POV

Jackie and I spent the rest of my birthday at her house, laughing at some funny videos, eating her secret stash, and battling each other in a pillow fight that I started (and lost). I slept over (after telling my mom of course) and the next day we spent on Instagram, reading about an 'epic party in which Luke Hemmings asked Amy Love Guzman to be his girlfriend in the most romantic way!!'

I sighed. I knew this would happen as soon as he asked her. I wasn't really popular, even with the Rebels, so I knew that the attention from my party would just go to 5SOS anyway. But it still hurt that because of Luke (who was not only my crush but also my best guy friend), everyone forgot that it was my birthday, my party, and my special day!!

I swear, I'm done with Luke! If he wants suck face with Amy and ruin my birthday party then so. Be. It!! I'm going to ignore him from now on, even if he apologizes. I won't go near him, although it would be fun to see his face after I kick him really hard in the-

"Elia!!!" I screamed and immediately threw a punch at the person who yelled. Said person just dodged and caught my fist, saying quickly, "Elia calm down! Its just me! Jackie!!" I looked at her with a blank look on my face. "Oh, Jackie. What do you want?" I swear I just saw her face palm.

She sighed. "I was going to ask if you wanted to go to the movies with me? I'm bored and I kind of want to see Pitch Perfect 2." I smiled excitedly, my previous thoughts gone and forgotten.

"Sure!!! Just let me get my bag and phone and I'll be right there." She just shrugged. "Okay. I'll wait for you in the car." She walked out the door with my keys in her hand, signaling that I was driving. Again. I had gotten my driver's license this year, and Jackie often took advantage and made me drive her places, not that I minded, of course. She can also drive, but for some reason she gets really anxious about driving.

I got into the driver's seat and turned the radio on. Jackie was about to change the station when I sent her my 'my car, my rules' look. She just sent me her 'ha! You should know by now that I don't give a crap!' look. I sighed and let her change the station. I didn't really pay attention, trying to focus on the road and not on the song. It was You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift. As I drove, I couldn't help but listen to it. I was reminded of Luke, my mind recalling how he chose Amy over me.

I suddenly felt a tear roll down my cheek as Taylor sang the line:
She's going on about something
That you said, cause she doesn't
Get your humor like I do.

I thought of this one time where Luke, Amy, Jackie, and I were walking at the park. He saw a toad jump onto Amy's backpack and started making frog noises every time she turned around. She screamed once she reached behind her to get a bottle of water from it and felt the frog, and then got mad because we all just laughed. It was really funny, but she didn't see the humor in it.

I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never
Know your story like I do.

My freshmen year some other friends got me into Screamo, and I started listening to it as a way to remember them since they already graduated. Amy heard me singing along one time and demanded that I turn it off because it was 'the devil's music'. I denied and turned my music louder that day, causing her to get mad and storm away. I couldn't care less, but she had no right to tell me to shut my music off just because she didn't like it!!

Jackie started singing to it, and I smiled. Jackie really was a true friend. She stuck by me for so long, and has never betrayed me. I grinned as she poked me, silently asking me to sing along. I did, and people in the other cars just stared at us whenever we stopped at a red light.

By the time we got to Carmike, Jackie and I were laughing our butts off because this old lady in her car yelled at us to shut up and turned her music louder when we kept on singing. She got a ticket for playing her music loud in a business district. We walked in and bought the tickets, but when we went to buy the popcorn, I saw the last people I wanted to see.

Ohh!! So who do you think they are? Just kidding I know you guys know. Anyway, I'm sorry for updating so late. I had accidentally deleted Wattpad from my tablet and just downloaded it on my phone I got about a month ago. Sorry!! Anyway, hope you liked this chapter and please give me new ideas!!! I need help!!! :'(
