That Boy Next Door [l.r.h.] *UNDER MAJOR EDITING*

|chapter 30|

3 years.

It has been 3 years since I broke up with Luke.

3 years since I spoke to him.

3 years since I have been happy.

3 years.

■

I still talk to Michael, Calum, Ashton, Emily and Summer.

I barely talk to Michael, Calum and Ashton though because at this moment, them and Luke are touring the world with One Direction.

I never thought that 5 Seconds of Summer, the band that my 3 best friends are in. Notice how I said 3.

Ashton is the one who I talk to the most though. He always tells me how Luke is. Its the same answer every time.

Horrible.

It makes my heart shatter to know that I practically broke him.

Oh, also. When I said I still talk to Michael, Calum, Ashton, Emily and Summer- notice how I didn't say Sydney.

Sydney died 1 year ago from depression.

Depression, that is, because of Ashton. I guess she just missed him so much.

She stayed in her room for 3 months. Isolated. She blocked out the whole world.

In the last month, she stopped eating. She stopped using the bathroom. She stopped everything. Soon enough, her brain functioned down and she passed away.

The loss of Sydney is another reason why I haven't been happy.

Sydney was one of my best friends, she was one of the first people I met when I moved here. She walk like a sister to me.

I miss her so much, but I try not to think much about her passing because it makes me even more upset.

Going to her funeral was probably the most social thing I've done in 3 years.

I moved out of my parents house after I graduated, which was the year Luke and I split up.

I now live in Melbourne, Australia.

Currently, I am sitting in my living room with my Labrador retriever, Kiara.

(( Kiara is the name is my old dog, which was a Labrador retriever. She died on June 2, 2014. R.I.P. my babe girl. ♡ ))

I'm watching Once Upon A Time, when suddenly the doorbell rang.

I got up and walked to the door.

I opened it to reveal a smiling Calum Hood.

"OH MY GOD! CALUM!" I exclaimed.

I haven't seen him since he went on tour with the boys.

"Thats rude to forget someone." Michael said from behind Calum, walking io the steps to my flat.

Soon enough, Ashton followed him.

I went to Michael and gave him a huge hug, and then Ashton after.

"I missed you guys so much, oh my gosh." I chuckled.

"We missed you too." Ashton giggled.

"But, why are you guys here?" I questioned.

"We're touring Australia, we have a show tonight in Melbourne and your mom told us that you moved here, she gave us your address. So here we are." Calum answered.

"Oh, well you can come in if you want. I don't care." I shrugged.

"Okay." Calum replied.

I walked to my couch and sat down.
