Living For Today

Chapter 46

Gillian POV

All the boys left for their party which was to be hosted at some club. Prpbably the funky Buddha. We weren't that extravagant so we decided to just go out for dinner. Although it would be fancy. And despite the fact we all said we wouldn't drink, we probably would, especially Jade. I got back to ours with Sarah lying on the couch. I missed her a lot to be honest we didny hang out ad much, which made me really sad sometimes. We all weren't as close as we used to be. She laid on the couch with a hot water bottle on her stomach and chocolate wrappers around her. Moriah wouldn't be happy considering her wedding was on in two days and not like her dress was really tight but I had heard she had never actually tried it on.

"what's up babe?" I faked my deep English accent while she turned to look at me. She smiled at the nickname we always used to try to use but it never really caught on. "my tummy hurts" She pouted and it reminded me of when we were both teenagers, well she was still one which was weird to think about. But back in high school we would often voice our discomfort whenever we were sick. "should we just stay in? Movie night " She smiled and asked if I could text everyone. I was a little disappointed that no one would see the dress I bought for the party though.

I sat in the living room with all of my friends. Sofie sat eating some crackers, Sami beside her texting probably Sam. She had said she really likes him. Maz and Sofie told me and Liam about how much they really hung out. Moriah sat there rubbing her temples a little frustrated and nervous about the dinner tomorrow. I wasn't excited really but I figured that's when I could wear my dress. I knew that she and Louis had fought that morning and in general more that even Sofie and Harry ever did. Jade come a bit late and I opened the door for her and I noticed the ring. She shot me a wide eyed glance and took it off her finger and put it in her pocket.

I sat there and truth was, I didn't know what to say. Sofie would shoot me looks to say "I'm sorry" but I gave a look back saying "stop worrying". I knew she would be fine. Until she talked to Harry. We played a movie and Jade looked antsy. She had told Zayn she wanted to tell everyone. At least that's what Liam told me. I knew she hated keeping it a secret but I wasn't sure it was a good idea with everyone being caught up in their own world's, even if no one else knew. Li said there wasn't much chance of Andy showing up for the wedding and that made me sad for Sami. I felt like maybe if they could just see each other, maybe. .

"I kissed Sam" She exclaimed out of nowhere and we all looked at her and Sarah even jumped at the new sudden noise. "I'll explain. So we went to dinner and he kissed me. Just like that. He makes me really happy." her smile was big but not as big as when she was with Andy. Maybe she was fooling herself but not me. Or maybe I didn't know my friends that well anymore. That could've been possible. I smiled and congratulated her with the other girls who were all, rightfully so, wrapped up in their own little worlds.

My phone began to ring after we finished Mean girls and I saw Andy's name on my screen. An old picture of him with long hair and it made me smile to think we had the same hair now. I decided to leave the room and lie that it was Liam on the phone.

"hello?" faking excitement to sound like everything was Okay.

Nothing was okay.

"is Sami dating Sam?!" he got straight to the point I guess.

"not as far as I know.. " I lied. They were practically together. I hated lying but I did it so often. I saw Sami come into the room with a smile. " I'm going out with Sam. He's downstairs. I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" She said loud enough apparently for Andy to hear and I had to cover the speaker on my phone because he was practically yelling at me.

"I CANT BELIEVE THIS. WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS.?! ''

"CALM DOWN. What are you gonna do about it Samuels?". I sounded harsh but I needed to. "if you cared about her that much you would've been here a long time ago and she'd be going out with you tonight instead of him. So don't whine yo me because we're all going through shit." and with that I hung up on the probably fuming boy.

I went back in and everyone stared at me "Andy huh?" Sofie asked and I wondered if I had really talked that loud. I panicked for a split second afraid I spilled anything I shouldn't have but soon remembered I hadn't. I sighed and sat beside Moriah as the second movie began.

Moriah honestly looked like she was going to throw up. My phone buzzed.

[Louis said he is going to phone his mom but the police will have to get involved so what should I do?,]

I responded with

[support him and his family.]

and to make it not seem like I was testing her I asked her out loud how she was feeling. "pressured" She said and I understood the underlying meaning of it. I suggested about going to sleep but she said she didn't want to yet and that she wondered if she would stay here for the night. Neither Sarah or I minded.

Jade soon left as she said she was tired and texted me saying she was afraid she would crack, I realized later she was playing with her ring in her hand at one point.

Sofie said she wasn't feeling so great and decided to leave next. I didn't blame her Sarah slept for most of the night then I decided to go to bed too. Bidding Moriah a goodnight.

Omniscient POV

Sarah knew she had to ask someone to be her maid of honour but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. Everyone went to bed so that left Moriah and her sitting watching a documentary about bees or something, neither one really watching. Just simply sitting and thinking.

" you should probably sleep SJ. I'll cancel the early morning stuff since Louis and I have something to do and you don't feel well. I'll see you tomorrow." Moriah said as she went to the guest room.
