~Emma~

As I was in the small market that I ran into, I went to the bathroom.

Since there was a mirror in there, I stared at my self. My eyes look dull, it isn't bright anymore. A lot can happen in a year.

There are bags under my eyes, my skin tone is a bit paler than normal.

What happened to the girl who was really happy? Care free?

I asked my self those questions, until I heard knocks on the door.

"Emma? C'mon, we're about to go" I heard Calum voice from the other side of the door.

"Be right out" I said, turning on the faucet, and washed my face. I turned it back off, and wiped my face with the toilet paper. It was the only thing I could dry my face with.

Once I opened the door, Calum was still waiting for me.

"Thanks for waiting" I smiled at him. It was a real smile. It wasn't like another smile I made. Because those were all fake.

"No problem." he said returning the smile.

When Calum and I walked in the bus, I was engulfed by Luke.

He hugged me really tight, and I didn't respond at first, but I hugged him back.

I pulled away first, and walked to the sitting area- just right beside the kitchen and the driver seat- and went to sit on it. I laid back on the couch, while Luke sat next to me.

He pulled me closer to him, and my head was on his chest, meanwhile he rested his head on top of mine.

Michael, Calum, Jake, as Maja was playing FIFA in the back room, Ashton was eating in the dining area, and Luke and I was sitting on the couch.

"What up little penguin?" Luke asked.

Well that's new

I shrugged.

"You've been a lot distant now. How come?" Luke asked looking down at me. At this moment, Ashton had finished his food. So he left to go and watch the others play FIFA.

I shrugged once again.

"Stop shrugging" he said

I didn't response.

"Em, talk to me" I stayed silent.

He sighed, and pulled me closer to him, if that was possible.

I feel really bad for ignoring him. I know that I was hurt by his ex, but so was he. I snapped out of my thoughts when I felt a thumb wiping off my tears -hell I don't know I was crying- it was Luke.

He frowned while looking down at me.

"What's wrong?" he asked

I shook my head
