Where Broken Hearts Go // EDITED

Izzy Newman

I covered my mouth as I quickly realize what I just said. Did I just say I loved him? No, I can't love him, at least not yet, we just met. This isn't Frozen, people. Although it is a very good film.

"What?" Ashton questioned me, as Amy, Brianna and Nav all shared a suspicious look. The boys let out their inner child and simultaneously said "ooooh," with grins painted on their boyish faces.

"Um, you know, as a friend! I'll always be there for you, uh, buddy!" I laughed nervously.

"Mhm, sure, a 'friend'." Amy said.

"I hear wedding bells!" Brianna giggled.

"Shut up, I literally just met Ashton this morning. We can't possibly be in love. At least not yet." I whispered the last part.

"What was that last part?" Nav said with a smirk, suddenly peeking up.

"Nothing! Hey, uh, I'm hungry, got any food?" I said quickly, diverting from the question at hand.

"We've always got food." Luke said.

"Yeah because Luke can't even go 10 seconds without thinking about food." Nav chuckled as she locked eyes with Luke, her brown eyes in sink with his bright blue ones for a moment.

"Yes I can! I'm not thinking about food right now." Luke said, nervously looking down.

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"You." Luke looked straight into Nav's eyes and smiled.

"Smooth, Hemmings, smooth." Brianna said as Amy giggled.

"Not to ruin this adorable moment but, can I please have something to eat? I'm about to kill somebody if I don't get anything in my digestive system in the next 3 seconds!" I screamed, my words echoing throughout the hollow walls of the building.

"Woah, little Izzy's got a dark side. A very loud dark side." Michael laughed.

"Watch it, Clifford."

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"I may seem sweet on the outside, but when I get mad, it's like a volcano stirring up inside. And if I'm angered enough, I will burst. You do not want to see me burst, so don't pursue this argument and you'll be fine." I grabbed him by the shoulders, intently staring into his eyes.

"You're hot when you're mad." He smirked, with a half smile playing at his lips.

"Are you flirting with me?"

"No. Just stating the facts. Plus I've got someone else on my mind." Michael said as he winked at Amy.

"Ugh." I said in disgust as I dropped him back into his chair.

"Anyway, back to the food. I'm really hungry and I don't want anything from here." I said, surveying the shelf in the corner that looked like it hadn't been touched in over a week. A cobweb crept up on a half empty box of Ritz crackers. "Let's go to McDonalds, or something.

"Are you implying that the snacks we have here aren't good enough for you?" Ashton asked.

"No, but I can't have Nutella."

"Why?"

"I'm allergic to nuts."

"Oh shit, I'm sorry. What about some cheese and crackers?"

"I'm lactose intolerant."

"Just the crackers?"

"I'm allergic to-"

"Damn girl, what aren't you allergic to?" Calum chimed in.

"Pretty much nothing. Can we go McDonalds now?"

"Are you sure you aren't allergic to anything there?" Luke asked, being precautious.

"I'm sure Luke, but if I start dying, please call 911." I joked.

"Well, I'm gonna take Izzy to McDonalds then. Want anything?"

"Is it alright if I go with you guys, Ash?"

"Sure Luke."

"So, you guys want anything?" Ashton says again.

"I'll take a hamburger!"

"Side of fries!"

"Cheeseburger."

"Salad for me!"

"Brianna, you never eat salads." Calum cocked his head to the side, looking at his girlfriend in surprise.

"I know, I'm just kidding, I'll take a Big Mac."

"And for me, a happy meal." Calum finished off the order.

"Alright, I think I can remember that. But if I don't, Luke, Ashton, remember for me. See you guys soon." I said, opening the door.

"Make sure my happy meal is with extra happy!" Calum called out as we exited the Broken Hearts club.

💔

After we finished getting all of the food, Ashton insisted that we make a keek at the McDonalds play place.

"What is a keek?" I asked in confusion.

"It's an approximately 30 second video that you take and then post on the Keek app." Ashton explained it like it was the most heard of thing in the world.

"So it's like a longer version of Vine."

"Um, yeah, exactly." Luke said.

"So, you stay in front of us so you can get us both in the shot. Got it?" Ashton said, handing me his phone and showing me what to press to start the video.

"I'm not an idiot."

"Aw, come on, lighten up!"

"As soon as you stop talking to me like a baby, I will."

"But you can be my baby." Ashton smiled slightly.

I blushed but I didn't say anything back. I'm his baby? Like an infant baby or like a pet name for a girlfriend, baby?

"Okay, so you ready, Izzy?" Luke interrupted my thoughts, snapping me back into reality.

"Oh, yeah! Okay I'm about to hit the button to start, in 3, 2, 1, action!" I yelled, with the people standing near me giving me weird stares.

"McDonalds playground." Ashton said, looking straight into the camera.

We crawled into the playground and got a few stares from other children in there.

"Hi." Luke smiled shyly at the camera.

"Oh God, I'm so fat." Ashton said.

"Oh God, I'm falling!"

"Do you think we'll get caught? Because that would be way embarrassing. Can the two huge assholes get out of the playground?" Ashton mocked the voice of a security guard, which made me giggle in return. I stopped the video and reviewed it quickly before posting it to Keek.

"You guys are pretty funny. I didn't know you had it in you." I complimented them.

"Why, thank you, my lady." Ashton bowed and I laughed at his silly gesture and terrible attempt at a posh English accent.

"So you guys ready to go back to the club?" Luke inquired. Me and Ashton were just staring at each other intently. It's like we had a connection. Like, I just met him but I already feel like I've known him forever. I think I like Ashton.

"Uh, guys?"

"Oh, sorry Luke, yeah we're ready." Ashton smiled and motioned for me to look down. He has his hand extended, as if he wanted me to take it. I accepted the offer, and I slipped my hand into his, letting our fingers intertwine, and we walked out of the McDonalds, happy as two broken hearted people could be.

💔

I'm sorry if this update is terrible, and I'm so sorry that you had to wait so long for it! Than you guys for sticking with me, I love you!
