Today was the day. Today was the day that Brad was supposedly coming back from trip from the band but today was also a school day so hopefully I wouldn't have to see him for too long. I met Luke on the bus as he said he was gonna 'protect'. My heads that muddled up right now. He bullied me and now he wants to protect me? But we had a long conversation last night about how sorry he was and he did it out of jealousy. I'm not sure if you could call us an item though. I want to wait awhile until I start with another relationship. We got off of the bus and to the right was the usual ex gang of mine and to the left was brads gang. I just looked straight ahead to make it less awkward until a blond girl came running up to me.
" Amber I saw the heat mag I feel so sorry for you " she hugged be to death and I couldn't breath and Calum noticed.
"Ellie that's enough your choking her " he laughed.
" Omg I'm sorry -" she came up to my ear. "their looking at you you know"
I glanced to my left and Brad have me an apologetic look I scowled and carried on walking.

It was finally lunch and I'll tell you know English class and homeroom were tricky both had Luke and Brad I was stuck in the middle whilst the gave each other death glares. I was sat outside on a picnic bench with Calum and Ellie and Luke. It was good to get my best friend back. I was eating until someone grabbed me and dragged me round to the lockers.
" Ambs"
I stayed silent.
" Honey I'm sorry I do love you I made a mistake and I ..."
" NO BRAD SHUT UP. YOU KNOW IVE GOT IT BAD AND YOU DECIDE TO KISS ANOTHER AND OUT IN PUBLIC?"
" DO YOU THINK I WANTED IT THIS WAY ? I WAS PERFECTLY FINE UNTIL YOU CAME WITH YOUR SHORT WHITE DRESS ON I PROTECTED YOU FROM JAKE AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO ME"
"Brad we had a fucking deal to make Luke and Cat jealous I should have never made a deal with you I love Luke" I turned around and started to walk off.
" Ah well done you little slut. Making your way round another boy yet again"
I sighed turned around kicked him the balls and punched his face. I walked out of the lockers and saw Luke standing there. He looked into my eyes the next thing I knew I was almost making out at school.
" Luke that's enough we need to get to class" He had a massive beam across his face.
" attention attention may The Vamps please make their way to the stage"
We were getting ready for the Christmas concert the school were having in about 1 month.
"Tell me you love me
Tell me you care
But I know you won't be there
No-oh-oh

I've had trouble sleeping
You feel the same
No, I bet you can't complain
About that at all

Give me it all
And I'll give it right back
Show me the bottom of this bottle
We can pick up where we left off tomorrow

She was the one who got away
She was the one who I never got to say
How much
I miss your touch
She was the one who meant the most
She was the one who I kept close
Amongst it all
So just let's fall

Not saying it's easy
But you can't deny
That we'd still stay up all night
What a waste of time

Give me it all
And I'll give it right back
Show me the bottom of this bottle
We can pick up where we left off tomorrow

She was the one who got away
She was the one who I never got to say
How much
I miss your touch
She was the one who meant the most
She was the one who I kept close
Amongst it all
So just let's fall

Tell me it'll be okay
And tell me it'll all fade away

I've walked for miles, I haven't even got that far
Told you my secrets, promised you would heal these scars
Now I've got nothing, nothing but a broken heart
No-oh

Never thought it would ever end that way
Second guessing girl I got led astray
Could you come back to me one day?

She was the one who got away
She was the one who I never got to say
How much
I miss your touch
She was the one who meant the most
She was the one who I kept close
Amongst it all
So just let's fall
One day"
Everybody clapped I did a few small claps but I knew that song was about me.
" Next 5 seconds of summer"
"You call me up,
It's like a broken record
Saying that your heart hurts
That you never get over him getting over you.
And you end up crying
And I end up lying,
'Cause I'm just a sucker for anything that you do.

And when the phone call finally ends,
You say, "Thanks for being a friend,"
And we're going in circles again and again

I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here. When you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?

I bite my tongue but I wanna scream out
You could be with me now
But I end up telling you what you wanna hear,
But you're not ready and it's so frustrating
He treats you so bad and I'm so good to you it's not fair.

And when the phone call finally ends
You say, "I'll call you tomorrow at 10,"
And I'm stuck in the friend zone again and again,

I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here. When you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?

I know someday it's gonna happen
And you'll finally forget the day you met him
Sometimes you're so close to your confession,
I gotta get it through your head
That you belong with me instead,
I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here. When you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?
I dedicate this song to you,
The one who never sees the truth,
That I can take away your hurt, heartbreak girl.
Hold you tight straight through the day light,
I'm right here. When you gonna realize
That I'm your cure, heartbreak girl?"

I clapped loudly this time. I feel so famous 2 songs for me.

" ok Amber "
"Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[x2]
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody"

Everyone clapped and Brad just looked at me.

I got on the bus with Luke.
" do you wanna come over to mine ?" He whispered in my ear.
" Luke if all you want me for is sex think again"
" I didn't say anything like that I want you Amber not for sex but I want you more than a friend if you get what I mean"
I smiled at him and nodded.
" I want to keep it a secret for about a week minimum though!"
" ok by the way look pretty tonight my mums having a bonfire in the back garden and she wants you and your mum to come too"
I nod in response as we got off the bus and we then made our way home.
