How Did We Get Here // Luke Hemmings & Zayn Malik

Chapter 19: I Don't Understand

I lay in my bed, watching the gloomy dark gray ceiling. My entire room was dark gray, but the soft looking kind. It made everything around it so depressing. I rest my hands on my stomach, intertwining my fingers and stare into nothing. Thinking about everything though, wanting a re-do in my life. How could my life turn so ugly in such little time? After the divorce, father immediately left to England, leaving us behind but never losing touch, wanting us over with him. actually my dad was the one who filed a court case. Anyways everything turned out so bad, just because my mother didn't want to move. It was so idiotic. If my mother truly loved my father, she would have moved but since I know my mother was raised to go after rich men, she did.

I decided not to contemplate much on my mother and think about my canvas. But my thoughts were distracted by a text message from Louis 'hey Emma!'

'What do you want?'

'Jeesh that sounded harsh. Hope you're not mad at me for forgetting about our meet.'

'I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed.'

'Sorry Em's, it's just you don't know how long I've been after her, and now I have her.'

'Okay.'

'Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about YESTERDAY.'

'Can you call me; it's a lot to say over text.'

Before I knew it, his caller ID popped up. I slide it open and wait for his response.

"Hey Emma."

"Hi Louis.'

"Okay, so I saw you with Luke yesterday after church. Then I call him, and he tells me about your little date night. And then later on in the night, Zayn calls me, happy and sad about that date. Care to explain?"

"Explain what? And by the way, they were not dates."

"Well Luke didn't say a date right, but it sure as hell sounded like one and Zayn told me it was defiantly a date night.'

"Zayn said that?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm worried. I know Luke has the hot's for you, well he wants to get to know you but Zayn actually wants to date you."

"Well I don't know what to say Louis, their just my friends."

"Zayn told me you kissed him."

"What? I did not kiss him, we both kissed."

"Listen Emma, these guys, there my best friends. Now Zayn and Luke are like brothers, well we all are but the bond more with one another. Don't be the person that drives them away."

"Louis! How would I drive them apart? We're all just friends. Just because Ashton's and you call me babe, does that mean ill drive you guys apart because you guys like me as a friend."

"No! look Emma its complicated but all I know is that don't get romantic with either of them, they'll learn to like you as friends but for now, just don't go alone with them, anywhere."

"Look you're exaggerating but since you're so worried, I promise."

"Thanks and sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean those words over the phone, I was just drunk."

"Yeah no problem but remember that she's the one who caused that so I'm pleading you to be careful too."

"Aw Emma, you sound just like my sister, STOP HANGING OUT WITH HER!"
