Invisible // l.h

Chapter 18

After Tori told me about her supermarket experience with Luke, my story didn't seem that important at all. Well it isn't even a story, just more of a fact.

"So what's your story?" She asks.

"Well your phone was ringing non stop and I gave in and finally answered it. I forgot to check who it was and it turned out to be Calum. Basically he said hi and asked me how I was, and I hung up on him." I say looking at the ground sheepishly. Who knows what she's going to say. Surprisingly Tori bursts out laughing.

"You hung up on Calum Hood!? Did you actually?" She says with a grin on her face.

"Yeah, you're not mad?" I ask biting my nails.

"Why would I be mad Ivy? I told Luke not to talk to you or I. So why should it be any
different for Calum? And plus..." She sighs.
"We shouldn't talk to them. They need to forget about us and move on with their lives. And we should too." She says her laughter long gone. And with that she deletes all of the boys contacts from her phone. She looks up at me.

"Ivy you should do the same. Delete their contacts, it will help us get over it. Maybe it will be like deleting them from our lives." She says looking down. She starts to sob; and then she breaks down. This time it's me who comforts her bringing her into a bear hug. We both stay like that before letting go. She looks up into my eyes, her's puffy and red.

"We will get through this Tori. Together." I say. She just nods. And with that we spend the rest of our night watching chick flicks snacking on pizza, chips, lollies and chocolate.

I woke up still lying on the couch with Tori, with a bowl of popcorn half emptied on my chest. I push myself with my elbows to see that Tori is still asleep. I get up and creep into my room. I sit on my bed and try to sleep. But sleep doesn't come. In fact it hasn't been coming at all recently, with my mind too busy thinking. So I grab my phone and turn it on. Even though I haven't used it for only like two days it feels like forever.

On the screen it says 1 text message from Luke, 3 miss calls from Luke and a dozen or so Instagram and Twitter notifications. Luke's text doesn't make much sense at all. It says I.... That's it. Nothing else. What was he going to say?

Next I go onto Twitter and scroll through my feed. After not very long of scrolling I discover the worldwide trending tweet at the moment that catches my eye. #whereisashton? Oh no. No no no. I read through a couple of online media articles and see that people are starting to realise that Ashton isn't sick. In fact reports show that he has been out and about back in L.A. Whilst the rest of 5sos are here. The media has noticed and rumours are spreading and fast. People are starting to realise that there has been some heat between the band mates and everyone wants to know why. Well, I am the reason why. Of course I would never tell someone that, but still. My throat burns tears threatening to spill. If a year ago you had told my 16 year old obsessed fangirl self, that I was the reason 5sos broke up I would probably have laughed in your face. But now all I do is breakdown.
