Best Friends // lrh

8. Resolved?

One show left, and Madrid better be where everyone resolves their damn issues. 

I slept in today, really not wanting to be bothered by any of the four boys. After yesterdays show, everyone just shut down. I mean, at least between Stockholm and Turin they were arguing, which was still at least talking to each other. It wasn't until after the Turin show, they decided they had enough. Then the Barcelona show was just silence, it was fucking weird. 

I hung around with Michael, mainly because he was just over this whole thing, like me. Calum tried to diffuse everything between Ashton and Luke, but that didn't go over well. 

"Baby, wake up." A familiar voice whispered in my ear.

I looked up to see Ashton, "Are you guys done yet?"

"With what?" 

"Shutting each other out. I mean, I never thought I'd say this, but Michael is the only one with any damn sense right now."

"It's not that simple." Ashton ran his thumb over my cheek.

"Yes, it is. I don't get the problem with you and Luke. I know, I should of all people, but I don't. I get it, I've had feelings for him since day one, but that was before I knew you. Then, I met you, and Luke started to slip my mind. Everything was so back and forth, but I chose you. I'm gonna stand by that, but Luke and I have a very strong friendship that's not going to just go away. You have to understand that." 

"I know, it's just hard, because I never knew he had feelings for you. Now that I know, it scares me that you'll choose him." 

"Did you not hear me? I already chose you," I poked his chest, "I stand by that. Luke had his chance." 

"Okay, I'll try and talk to him while you get ready." He kissed my forehead and went to look for Luke. 

I had showered earlier, so all I had to do was get dressed and do my makeup. I didn't put much effort into anything, french braiding my hair out of my face and using a white bandana to hold back my fringe. I did my usual winged eyeliner, but with bright fusica lips. I pulled on a striped crop top and a pair of black high waist shorts with my black vans. I put on all my jewelry and grabbed my purse before meeting the 2 boys outside.

 "Well?" My eyes shifted between the boys. 

"For your sanity, I think we can be okay." Luke smiled. 

"Thank God, I wasn't sure how much longer I could hide out with Michael." I laughed, grabbing Ashton's hand. 

I noticed Luke's eyes dart down to mine and Ashton's hands, his eyes becoming more gray than blue.  All I had to do now was convince myself to get over Luke, because let's be real; I'm so far from being over him. I'm pretty sure I could fake being over him well enough, for now anyways.

The boys set was pretty kick-ass, as usual. Nothing tense between them, and everything was pretty smooth. They looked really happy, and I couldn't help but smile through the entire thing. The only thing I noticed was Luke, his eyes hadn't regained color, and I knew there was something else bothering him. I knew everyone would be up tonight, buzzing over their last show, well 5SOS' last show before the states. So, naturally I'd talk to Luke then. 

On the drive back to the hotel, we stopped for food. We just got a a few boxes of pizza, ice cream, and a few 2 liters of soda. Everyone was laughing during the drive, even Luke; but he can't fool me. We got back to the hotel, and all piled into mine and Ashton's room. Michael starting eating right away, and Calum and Ashton were searching through Netflix. Before I got the chance to talk to Luke they had decided on a movie, and I knew I'd never get a word in without being yelled at. So, I pulled out my phone. 

(Lacy's in italics Luke's in bold) 

Tell me. 

What? 

You can't fool me, Luke. 

There's nothing I can do about it. 

Stop thinking that, maybe there is. 

You honestly have no idea? 

I have a pretty good idea, but I don't wanna be right. 

Chances are you are. 

Just tell me, you idiot. 

I saw him smile at this, holding back a laugh. 

I hate watching you two, it really hurts. 

What do ya say when we get back to Sydney we go to my house? 

For what? 

Just to try and gets things back to normal between us, I mean I know were only gonna be back for a week but still. 

When were we ever normal? 

Now it was my turn to smile and try not to laugh. 

So, it's a deal then? 

Wouldn't miss it for the world. 

Good, because I really wasn't going to give you a choice. 

Of course not. (;

Are you even paying attention to the movie?

Not at all. I'm not even sure what we're supposed to be watching. 

We texted for basically the whole movie, and I felt relieved. I was beyond worried that Luke would try something stupid, especially with everything going on. 

I can't lose him. 

Just, promise me one thing, Lukey? 

Anything for you. 

Please, just please keep trying to be okay. 

As long as you're around, so that means you can't give up either.
