june 24th ; quatre

we sit in a circle like witches about to curse somebody. which we probably would if given the materials, but nope just playing a childs game.

"how about tyler asks first?" i smile and look at him.

"okay, okay," he laughs. "josh, truth or dare?"

"for once in my life i wish you would not have said my name." he sighs. "truth"

"damn it," tyler sits up. "when was the last time you had sex?"

"like two days ago" josh laughs. "halsey, truth or dare?"

i start to tune them out as i hear a small knock on my door. "guys i'll be back" i stand up and walk to the source of the noise.

i open the door and there he was, the one asshole i never wanted to see again.

"we need to talk" he pushes his hair back and furrows his eyebrows.

"luke," i shut the door behind me as i step out, also noticing the rain pouring. luckily my front porch was safe from the sadness of the clouds.

"i know we just met and i seemed to upset you, but i just needed to clear the situation up." he crosses his arms and i notice his shivering.

"what situation?" i ask coldly, i just want to be inside with my friends not with the guy that ruined my happiness.

"the m-mikey si-si-situation." his teeth start to clatter and i sigh.

i open the door. "come inside and we can talk"

he slowly walks in and i walk up the stairs signalling for him to come up with me.

he follows and we stop at my room.

"so what do you want to tell me about the situation?" i cross my arms and stare at him.

"i know about you and michael." he sighs. "i was gone for a year, when michael and i went our different ways we didn't break up but we kind of agreed that it was over.. what i said was a joke and i didnt mean to cause harm."

"yeah, to top it off you added a kiss" i roll my eyes.

"i kissed his forehead, its our hello and goodbye since fifth grade" he nods. "michael really cares about you, he wouldn't have told me about you if he didnt" he steps closer to me

i take a step back and continue to examine his flawless face.

"he literally is sitting on the goodwill steps waiting for you, thats how sad he is" he pats shoulder and leaves.

i look out the window and watch him drive away, wondering about my next move.
