Aria's POV:

Tonight was 5SOS' welcome home party. Since I'd be picking up Kiyah and Renna at the park down the street, I quickly threw on my denim skinny jeans, a gray shirt, my black varsity jacket, and black converse. I put my hair in a fishtail braid and headed out the door. Since Kenneth, Melissa, and Maria were out at the mall, I had the house to myself.

I walked to my car and told Renna and Kiyah that I was coming to pick them up.

I spotted Renna wearing a flowery top with a jean jacket and some skinny jeans with her peach colored vans. Kiyah on the other hand, wore a simple white shirt with her black leather jacket, black jeans, and studded boots. They finally spotted me pulling up. Kiyah sat next to me while Renna sat in the back. "I'm so excited. I don't know why." Kiyah giggled. "Me too!" Renna jumped up and down in we seat. I said nothing. We talked about how successful they'd become and how thankful we were that we were friends with someone famous. Maybe I was being silly by not talking to Luke. I should just talk to him.

We arrived at Calum's house, which was packed with so many people. We found the boys and Jackie in the backyard, setting up the drums and microphones. "So glad you girls could make it!" Ashton walked over to us and hugged us. I glanced at Luke who looked back at me but looked away as if I was a stranger. So much for fixing things with him. "We wouldn't miss it." Renna said before pecking his lips. Michael strode over with a huge smile. He kissed Kiyah and spun her around before hugging us. Calum came next, giving us hugs.

Luke approached and gave Renna and Kiyah hugs, but didn't acknowledge my existence. Wow. He rejoined Jackie and poked genuinely happy. It made me jealous to see that she could make him happy and I couldn't.

This was gonna be a long night.

Renna's POV:

Ashton and I danced to the music until they were called to play a few songs. Ashton sat behind his drums, holding his drumsticks. Then he leaned into the microphone and said, "This song goes out to my girlfriend, Renna. You're the best babe." Then the band started to play the song, "Somewhere in Neverland" by ATL. After they finished I hugged Ashton and gave him a big kiss. I heard the crowd go "awww"

Kiyah's POV:

Michael stood there strumming his guitar in every song. At one point he would randomly shout my name letting the world know I was his and he was mine. When they finished, Michael gave me a big hug and spun me around again. "We're too cool to have our own song." Michael joked. I laughed and kissed him, not caring who saw.

Aria's POV:

I stood in the corner talking with some girls from school, secretly spying on Luke and Jackie who were having a make out session. I took a sip from the beer that some people snuck into the party so that Calum's parents wouldn't know. Why am I torturing myself? I practiced what I had to say to him in the bathroom: "Luke I'm sorry for the awkwardness and being so distant. I needed some time. I know I was wing selfish and stupid. I only hope this doesn't ruin our friendship." I tried calling his name but he didn't look at me, even though I know he heard me.

Now I didn't need to say those words. I handed my drink to someone who willingly took it and drove home. Kiyah and Renna could ride with their boyfriends.

Luke's POV:

"Can you get me a drink Lukey?" Jackie asked. "Sure thing." I made my way to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. I was about to walk back when I saw Jackie kissing someone else. Ash, Michael, and Calum stood in shock staring at her. She finally let go and then saw me glaring at her. "Luke. It's not what you think." Jackie slowly said. I could tell she was panicking on the inside. "This is the last time Jackie. We're done." The words came out of my mouth naturally. Usually I'd feel bad but I didn't care anymore up to this point.
