A Second Chance

"lara for life"

"Look, Sara, I'm sorry I didn't tell you." I told her, running my fingers through her hair.

"You should have." She said.

We sat on the couch in the living room, everyone awkwardly waiting for someone to say something. After a long silence, Ashton, Calum and Michael left. I sat there as Sara slept on my chest.

I picked her up, which was easy since she was light, and took her to her room. As soon as she was safely in her room, I walked to Calum's room.

"Hey, Calum?" I knocked on his door.

He opened the door and gave me a sympathetic smile.

"I should have told her." I said, scratching my head.

"You should have." He sighed.

I frowned. A lyric from a Twenty One Pilots song I heard earlier was stuck in my head.

We're broken people.

"Well, now she knows. What next?" I asked.

"Tell her you love her."

"I did."

"Dumby, tell her again."

"I tell her every night before she goes to sleep." I laughed at myself.

"You guys are totally relationship goals."

"SHUT UP!"

"Lara for life."

"Lara?"

"Your ship name."

"Oh."

"Hashtag relationship goals, though."

"SHUT UP!"

"You should ask her out."

"I did."

"AWWW WHAT DID SHE SAY?"

"She said yeah." I felt myself blush.

"AWWWW!" He jumped up and down.

"SHUT UP!"

"Where you taking her?"

"The mall. Gonna go eat something and maybe go shopping."

"She really loves shopping. And clothes."

"Did she tell you about the job she got?"

"Yeah. She's a model. Ooh."

"Yeah. She's gonna be begging us to go shopping." I laughed.

"Yeah." He laughed.

"You're dating a model."

"We're not dating."

"Well, yeah. But I'd like to think of you guys as a couple."

I laughed.

"You're so red!" He pinched my cheeks.

"Stop it." I blushed, slapping his hands away from my face.

"You really do love her, huh?"

"HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE SAID IT?" Ashton walked up to us with a mug of tea in is hands.

"Shut up!" I pouted.

"All he ever talked about on tour was how much he missed Sara and how he loved her and how he-"

"SHUT UP!" I cut Calum off.

I could hear giggling behind me. Embarrassment filled my body as I felt Sara's small hand pat my shoulder. I turned around, my face feeling like it was on fire.

She took one look at me and burst out laughing. The others started to laugh too.

"I thought you were asleep." I said sheepishly.

"I just wanted a lift up to my room." Sara said as the laughter died down.

Michael ran out of his room and up to Sara. He gave her a high five and ran back to his room, slamming the door behind him. We all stood in confusion of what happened. Sara stood there, amused.

"So, what are we talking about?" She asked.

Oh no.
