Calum led my into a big room which must have been the entertainment room. There was a big screen on one side of the wall and a bunch of seats all over the place. Calum set up the chairs around in a circle and placed a bottle in the middle.

"Cal, what are you planning?" I asked. Whatever he was planning scared me. "You'll see." I could see it in his eyes that he was so sure about whatever he was about to do. Mischief was written all over his face.

The rest of the boys came into the room with Renna, Kiyah, and of course, Jackie.

We all sat in the chairs and decided that Michael would go first. I didn't pay attention to any of the dares or questions they asked each other, I was secretly staring at Luke, who held hands the entire time with Jackie.

"Aria!" Kiyah said. "Huh?" I replied, finally becoming aware of what was going on. "I said, 'Truth or Dare?' " Kiyah repeated herself. "Truth." I replied. "Which guy in this room would you hook up with?" Kiyah asked "Oh uh..." My voice trailed off as I tried to think. Of course I couldn't pick Luke. "C-Calum?" I answered. I saw Calum smirk. "Of course you would." Calum commented. "Shut up." I laughed.

"Okay, Luke's turn." Michael announced as I watched him slip an arm around Kiyah's waist.

Luke spun the bottle and it landed on Ashton. "Truth or dare?" He asked.

Ashton was laying his head on Renna's lap. "Dare." Ashton said with a smile. "I dare you and Renna to go into that closet for 5 minutes and make out." Luke grinned. "Or you can do something more." Michael added. Renna looked at Luke. "What the fuck!?" She yelled.

"A dare is a dare!" Calum said.

Ashton took Renna's hand and walked into the closet. Luke times them for 5 minutes the called them to come out.

They came out with smiles on their faces and sat back down. "So what did you guys do?" Calum asked. "That's a secret." Ashton said as he put a protective arm around Renna.

"Ashton's turn." Ashton shouted. The bottle landed on Michael. "Truth or dare?" Ashton asked. "Dare." Michael said. "7 minutes in heaven in the closet with Kiyah." Ashton smirked. "WHAT!?" Kiyah exclaimed. Michael chuckled. "Come on if you do this with me we can go get some stuff to smoke." Michael snaked an arm around Kiyah's waist as they went into the closet.

7 minutes passed and they came out. Kiyah was trying to hold back her giggles while Michael had a triumphant smile. "Have fun in there?" Luke asked. Michael flipped Luke off and Luke did the same. We all laughed at them.

"Okay okay it's my turn." Calum announced. He spun the bottle and it landed on Luke. 'Oh great.' I thought.

Calum grinned from ear to ear. "LUKE! Truth or dare?" He asked. "Truth. I'm afraid of what you guys might dare me to do." Luke laughed. "Okay. If you could date one girl in this room, who would it be?" Calum asked.

"Oh um. I'm kind of already dating someone in this room." He mumbled. "WHAT? WHO?" Calum shouted.

'Please be messing with us. Please be messing with us.' I repeated over and over in my head.

"It's true. I'm dating Jackie." He lifted up their entwined fingers.

Renna gasped and Kiyah's mouth hung open. Michael's eyes widened and Ashton asked, "Since when!?"

Luke looked at all of us. "We just started yesterday." He answered with a smile. Calum put his head in his hands. I heard him mumble, "Holy shit."

I felt my heart crack. I think it could be heard around the room. "I-I need to go. Congratulations Jackie and Luke." I said and quickly got up. I felt all eyes on me as I rushed out.

My tears blurred my vision but I managed to make it out I to the backyard. Luckily there was no one there. I paced back in forth.

"I should've known! The way they looked at each other. The way they held hands!" I screamed at myself. My knees suddenly felt week and I fell to my knees. I let out my tears.

Luke's POV:

"What's up with her?" Jackie asked. I shrugged. I saw Calum look angrily at Jackie. "Calum is everything alright?" I asked. "Yeah. Just shocked. I'm fucking happy for you two." Calum said flatly and followed Aria out.

I felt like something was missing inside me all of a sudden.

"Maybe I should check on her." I wondered out loud. "You've done enough." Kiyah snapped. "Huh?" I asked a bit surprised. "Um, Kiyah let's go get something to drink." Michael said and led her out. "I think we should go too." Ashton mumbled. Renna and Ash left, leaving me and Jackie alone. "What's up with everyone?" I asked. "I don't know." Jackie responded. "Maybe they don't like the idea of us." She said sadly. "Don't worry Jackie. I like us and I don't care what they say." I said.

Calum's POV:

I found Aria in the backyard hugging he knees. "Aria." My voice drifted. "I'm so sorry I didn't know." I said. "It's not your fault Cal." She said in between sobs. I didn't know what else to do so I hugged her tight.

Don't get me wrong, Luke is my best friend and so is Aria, but I hated Luke for going out with Jackie. She's a total slut.

I held Aria in my arms until she stopped crying. "Thanks Calum." She whispered. "No problem." I said looking down at her. "Come on let me take you home."

Her eyes were still red when we walked in. Kiyah and Renna hugged her. "Are you alright?" Renna asked. Aria shook her head. "It's okay Aria, Luke will come to his senses and realize what he's missed." Kiyah said. Aria gave a weak smile. "Goodnight guys. She gave them one last hug and then hugged Michael and Ashton. "Feel better." Michael said. "Thanks." She replied. "Don't worry I'll beat some sense into Hemmings for you." Aria nodded her head and I took her hand.

We walked out and headed for Aria's house, which wasn't so far. She didn't talk much, she only nodded and gave weak smiles. It kinda broke my heart to see her like that.

When we arrived at her house she hugged me tight. "Thanks again Calum." She whispered into my ear. "Anything for my best friend." I replied. "I'll call you tomorrow." Aria nodded her head and opened the door. "Goodnight Cal." I smiled and walked back home.

Aria's POV:

I shut the door quietly behind me. Melissa was still up watching TV. "Hey you're home early." She said. "It's 11pm." I replied. I sat on the couch next to her. "Oh my gosh Aria have you been crying?" She asked in concern. I cried a new set of tears. I told her what happened and she held me tight. "Everything's gonna be alright. Maybe it's a sign that you don't need Luke. Maybe there's someone better." Melissa said. I didn't want anyone else though.

"Go get some rest." She whispered. I nodded my head and went to my room. I didn't bother changing because I was too tired from crying. I laid in bed and looked through my photos. Half of them were of me and Luke.

Just then Jackie texted:

"Aw... You left? But Luke and I were just getting started. You should've stayed to watch us. ;) xx"

I throw my phone against the wall. I had no energy left to pick it up and I drifted off to sleep.
