When i woke up, my phone was lit up with 4 texts.

Calum:

hey. can you meet me for coffee at 8?

Calum:

Just wanna talk, we havent done that in while.xx

Instead of checking the other two, i just decided to get ready considering it was already 7:15. When i got out of bed, i walked over to the closet looking for an outfit.

"where are you going babe?" luke sat up, asking me

"going for coffee with calum, just to catch up on things." i said, and he gave me a weird look. "i promise." i then said, reassuring him. he sighed, and laid back down. I decided on my outfit and put on light makeup, and grabbed my car keys and purse.

When i got outside, it was a really nice day so i decided to just walk. Starbucks was only about 5 minutes away and there would be no point in wasting gas.

I got there in a short amount of time, and walked in to calum sitting at one of the tables looking through his phone. There was already a cup of coffee in front of my seat, then i remembered he used to work here.

"how have you been? i heard Luke told you what happened." he asked.

"yeah, but its fine. i understand. he was drunk and she totally took advantage of him" i explained, taking the hot cup of coffee up to my lips being careful when i took a sip. Calum just gave me a weird look.

"what?" i asked.

"Luke wasnt drunk..." he said, then continued. "neither of them were. Kayla was grinding on Luke, and last i saw was they left and went back to the hotel. then he told us they had sex." 

i wasnt sure how to feel, how do i know calum isnt lying? he had to be. Luke would never lie to me. He isnt like that. Ill just ignore it, and when if he wants to tell me he would. either way, they had sex and that is what hurt me the most. i just nodded and sighed, and looked out the window.

For the next half hour Calum and I just talked, about anything and everything.

"great. its raining. and i walked." i sighed, and calum rolled his eyes.

"ill give you a ride." he said. i nodded and followed him out to the car

When i got home, Luke was sitting on the couch watching Family Guy. i took my shoes off and sat next to him. I was bored with this show, i never really liked it. I decided to pull out my phone and scroll through instagram, but the two messages that i never answered or checked from earlier popped up.

Aunt Liz:

Hey sweety! Haven't talked in awhile and we miss ya here in the States. Maybe you could come visit soon? Whenever you want to would be great, we always have a spare room!

Aunt Liz:

I saw on instagram that you have a cast on your arm. What did you do?!

I just laughed, my aunt liz has always been one of those 'cool' aunts. She was on my dads side, and that was the only side of the family anyone ever talked to. My moms side were all jerks.

Luke heard me laugh, and leaned over me to read my texts.

"youre not gonna go. are you?" he asked, giving me a weird look.

"i dont know Luke. its my family. i havent seen them in ages and you went on a trip, why cant i?" i questioned him and he just rolled his eyes.

"what?" i then continued to ask him.

"nothing, nothing." he said, and i sighed.

To: Aunt Liz

hmm.. ill have to think about that offer. And nothing really bad, i just fell. and since it never fully healed before it was an easy break. I have so much to update you on!

I texted her back, but she never answered. I was hungry, so i went to the kitchen to make myself some lunch. I never could make the box macaroni, so i was stuck with easy mac. I remember when i was 14 i put the noodles in a pan but forgot the water, and put it on the hot stove. I nearly burned the house down.

"do you want easy mac?" i yelled out to Luke from the kitchen.

"no." he bluntly said, and i just sighed. i dont understand why he is getting so mad about my aunt texting me, wanting to see me. 

"ill take some!" i heard Ashton, Calum, and Michael all yell from the living room.

"when the hell did you three get here?!" i yelled back. Instead of just yelling back and forth they came in here, but luke didnt.

"why didnt your man candy come in here? he seems pretty pissed off." Ashton asked, and i shrugged.

"who is pissed off?" Luke asked walking in, sitting on the counter.

"no one."
