A Second Chance

"bubbly tears"

Sara

I told him. I told him about what happened that day. About our bubbly tears. He hugged me tightly. I didn't cry, I just hugged him back. The sun was rising, and we basically just had pizza at 3 in the morning. It was 6 now. Calum and Ashton had gone back to sleep. Michael hadn't woken up yet.

"You tired?" Luke yawned.

"Yeah."

"Go get some rest."

"Okay."

I walked up to his room, and got under the soft blanket. I fell asleep in 5 minutes. I didn't really dream about anything. Just darkness. The darkness I was used to. The darkness I was welcomed in. I stayed floating in the darkness for what seemed like seconds until I finally opened my eyes. I was still in Luke's room, and the sun was way up.

I stood up and looked out the window, sitting on the windowsill. It was about 10:30. I stared at the clouds as they floated off. I heard the door open, but my eyes stayed glued to the clouds. One looked like a lollipop. Another looked like a smiley face. One looked like the letter L. No, I. Either one.

"Hey." He sat next to me.

"Hi."

"What you looking at?"

"The clouds."

"Why? You could just go outside to see them."

"I-I like it better in here."

"Oh. Hey, look. It's the letter L." He said, pointing at the I shaped cloud.

"No, that's a lower case I."

"Nah. It's a L."

"Sure." I giggled.

"Does that look like a lolly to you too? Or is it just me?"

"It does looks like a lollipop."

"And that one, it looks like a smile."

"Yeah." I said, smiling at the cloud.

"What time is it?" He asked, looking at the clock on the wall.

"10:37."

"Oh. I'm so hungry. You want to go get something to eat?"

"Um. Sure."

"Take me with you!" Michael said, walking into the room.

"Fine." Luke said.

"Yay!" Michael cheered. "Let's get burritos!"

"We didn't even have breakfast, and you want burritos?" Luke asked him.

"Uh, yeah." He said, giving Luke a 'Duh, I just said that' face.

"Okay. Whatever." Luke said, standing up.

"WHERE ARE YOU MICHAEL?!" Someone yelled from outside the door.

I instantly got terrified. My heart started beating faster. 

Who is that?

"In here." Michael shouted.

"GIVE ME BACK MY BACON!" Calum shouted, walking in the room.

"I ate it." Michael said casually.

"I hate you." Calum said angrily

"You love me." Michael said, hugging Calum.

Luke laughed. Calum sighed and hugged Michael back. Michael burped.

"So. What you guys doing today?" Calum asked once Michael let go of him.

"Getting burritos." Luke and Michael said at the same time.

"Ooh! Ca-"

"Sara!" Ashton walked in the room, cutting Calum off.

"I was talking." Calum told Ashton.

"You were? My bad." Ashton sarcastically said. "Sara, want to go shopping with me? I could get you some stuff."

"You don't have to buy me anything." I said.

"I'm going to." Ashton said.

"Wait! Aren't you going to get burritos with us?" Luke asked me.

"I want burritos!" Ashton said.

"Okay, so we can all go get burritos first, then Ashton and Sara can go shopping." Calum said.

"I want burritos." Michael muttered.

"Great! That's what we'll do." I said.

"Yay!" They all cheered.
