Luana's P.O.V

After dance I was surprised to see Michael here to pick me up. I walked out into the parking lot and got in his car. "Hey LuLu" he smiled and patted my head. "I hate it when you call me that" I said and nudged him. "I know, that's why I do it."

I gave him a quick glare before asking, "so not to be rude or anything... But, why are you picking me up..?" Michael stopped smiling and focused on the road, we were going towards the other side of the neighborhood. "I'm taking you to my place, Luke and your parents aren't home. So they asked if one of us would hang out with you." It seemed reasonable, but normally they would just leave me home alone. Once we got to Michaels house he unlocked the door and we both walked in. Dropping my bag on the floor I walked into the living room, only to see my least favorite person sitting on the couch.

"Calum?" I said bitterly. "What are you doing here."

"Lu, I just wanted to talk." He said quietly. "There's nothing to talk about. What's done is done, and that's on you. Now you have to live with it. Michael! Please take me home... Now". My breathing was quickening and I could feel tears swell up in my eyes.

"Lu... Just talk to him. Please... Just listen to him." Michael tried to convince me. "Listen?! You want me to listen to him? He didn't listen to me when I told him to stop! Just take me home. Please." I said, I've always had anxiety and I haven't had a panic attack in years. But I could feel one brewing. I grabbed onto the railing next to the stairs and put my head down. I was losing control of my breathing so I tried to block out Michael and Calum in order to slow it down.

"Luana, I didn't mean for it to go that way. I was going to stop, I swear." Calum said. "But you didn't! You didn't stop, Calum!" I cried and let go of the railing to turn around but quickly lost my balance and stumbled backwards, grabbing onto the railing again. "Woah, woah, slow down Lu, you're okay" Michael tried to calm me down and helped me stand steady. "No, I'm not okay. Luke is home, isn't he?" I said while pulling my phone out to call him. The phone rang twice before he answered, "hey Lu, what's up?"

"Luke," I cried, "can you come get me? Michael won't take me home. I'm at his house, Calum's here too." I listened to him freak out on the phone about how Calum wasn't supposed to be there, blah blah blah. Eventually, he got here and came inside. "C'mon Lu, let's go." He put his arm around me and led me to the door, giving Michael and Calum a threatening glare before leaving. I was really surprised how calmly he handle that.

Luke took us home and I ran up to my bedroom, followed by a very worried Luke. I laid on my bed and put my face in my pillow, crying. I don't know why this whole situation made me so upset. Maybe it's because I really liked Calum and I wanted things to work out, I didn't think he was like that. Funny how things change. Luke sat next to me on the edge of my bed and rubbed my back. "I'm so sorry Lu, I didn't know Calum was there or I never would've asked Michael to pick you up. Next time, tell me about these things, yeah I would've been pissed at first about you and Calum but.... It's better than you getting hurt like this. I love you, Lu. You're my little sister."

I didn't say anything back, but I did sit up and hug him for a very long time.
-------------------------------------------------------
I didn't get out of bed for 6 days now. Except to use the bathroom and shower. Luke would bring me food and I'd eat, sometimes. But I didn't feel like doing anything. I hadn't checked my phone either. When I turned it on, there were text messages from Sam, Luke, Calum, and Michael.
Calum- I'm sorry...

Michael- I didn't mean for things to end that way.. Forgive me?

Luke- come downstairs, we're gonna watch Star Wars :)

Luke- or don't.... :(

Sam- "hey!"

Luke- I talked to Calum today... I'm gonna start letting him come over for band practice...

Sam- "hey, is everything alright?"

Michael- "I hope you're okay :("

Sam- "Luke told me... Can I come over?"

The list of texts goes on but I stopped caring. I was bored so I straightened my hair and did my makeup. It finally occurred to me that maybe I should go downstairs, I was nervous to leave my room in my own home, that shouldn't be a thing, it's stupid. So I cleared my mind and walked down the stairs. All of the boys were sitting in the living room, when they saw me, they all smiled, except for Calum. "Hey Lu!" Luke smiled and Ashton tried to hug me but I walked around him straight to Calum and slapped him in the face. Everyone got quiet.

I was so mad at him, I just stared at him for the longest time, I couldn't believe that I hit him. Remembering what he did almost made me cry, but I also remember that night we got icecream and went to the beach. I remembered when he was my best friend. Slowly I started to find a little chance to forgive him. Calum did one bad thing, he's human. I couldn't resist collapsing into his arms and hugging him. He hugged me back and I swear he cried a little. Pulling away from the hug, I looked at him and said, "if you ever, ever treat me like that again, there will be no forgiveness. Got it?"

Calum nodded and pulled me back into his arms. After hugging for a little I told them that I was going to see Sam. "Yeah, he called me asking if you were okay, he's really worried" Luke warned me. I nodded and walked to his house. I knocked on his door and his mother answered, "oh! Hi sweetie, how are you?" Amber spoke with such enthusiasm, I don't know how she does that everyday, especially with a husband like Thomas. "I'm good, how are you?" I smiled. "I'm just fine. So, I'm guessing you're here for Sam?" She questioned and I nodded. "Go ahead, he's in his room.".

I walked upstairs to his room and didn't bother knocking, he was standing at his window but quickly turned around when he heard the door open. "Hi!" I smiled. Sam smiled and ran to me, picking me up and spinning me around. "Where have you been?? I tried calling and I texted you- it's been six days!" He sounded so happy to see me, it was nice. "Uh- yeah. Sorry about that. I kinda had a meltdown because Michael took me to his house and Calum was there and I wanted to leave but Michael wouldn't take me home and then I called Luke and I just got really upset and didn't come out of my room and yeah." I said all in one breath. "Can you put me down now?" I laughed because he was still holding me in a hug, he was so much taller than me. "Uuhhhhhh. No" I smiled. "Why not? Cmon Sam! Put me down" I laughed. "Nooooo!" He said and threw me over his shoulder, making me scream. "Okay okay, please stop" I said, making him throw me on the bed and start to tickle me. Squirming and trying to get away from him didn't work, so I just screamed. "Shhhhhhh! You have to be quiet" Sam laughed. "Why?"

"Because, I don't want to bother my dad...." He said, looking down. "Oh- yeah, right. Sorry about that. I didn't realize-" I said before he kissed me. "Finally! She remains quiet!" He laughed. "Ha. Ha. Soooo funny" I laughed sarcastically.
