amnesia (5SOS/C.H)

0.7

I take a breath as I click send on the text. I feel Ashton and Michael watching me from the dingy beat up car, that was parked on the side of the road. The time on Ashton's phone says three fifty four, I bite my lip as I wait for Luke to reply.

I was a jerk. I was an absolute shït big sister. Ben and Jack had probably been the best brothers ever. Oh, god Mom. She probably would freak if  she found out I was back home. When we were little, I was always the big sister who let Luke do whatever he wanted, he loved that. Ben and Jack were always busy with girlfriends or college.

She's Kinda Hot  started playing and Ashton's voice during his solo sang out. Yes, I listened to the song. I quickly clicked on the notification and read Luke's reply.

Luke: fine go to the deli

Luke: if you even remember it :/

I internally flinch, of course I remember the deli. And of course Luke would rub it in, when I just wanted to talk. I walk back to the car scuffing the dry dirt with my black converse. Ashton looks at me searchingly, as I get in the backseat and hand him his phone.

"You seriously put your own solo as your text tone?" Michael snickers and Ashton blushes as he stutters.

"Uh, uh... So well what happened?" Ashton smacks Michael on the head with a rolled up newspaper from the car floor.

"Deli," I bite my nails as Ashton pulls out and Michael turns on the radio. Jet Black Heart blares out of the speakers, and I snort as Michael turns bright red and switches the radio off, hurriedly. It was Ashton's turn to snicker as he pulled onto one of the smaller streets.

I gaze out the window, at the streets of my past. The sunny Australian sidewalk has people walking around, getting ice cream, teenagers on dates, families. How my life would've been.

I silence my phone as an incoming call appeared from my manager. I still hadn't spoken to any of my crew and media, I probably should have sent a message or something.

I've been gone for three, almost four days, for a celebrity's fan they would think the person was dead, for a normal person they wouldn't even care. I miss that.

Ashton slows down at a stoplight, and I gasp as I spot a girl with brown hair and a orange sundress talking to a boy at the corner of the sidewalk.

"Is that Olivia?" I exclaim, pulling myself into the front as far as my seatbelt will allow. Michael looks to where I'm pointing and smiles.

"Yeah," he nods and rolls down the window, "Olivia!"

The girl looks around a bit before seeing Michael waving at her, her face breaks out into a smile as she says something to the boy next to her and then jogs over to the open car window.

"Michael, Ashton! How are you-Harper?" Olivia stops silent, and I wiggle my fingers at my best former girlfriend. "You actually came back,"  Olivia says quietly, as she steps back slightly and Ashton groans as the light turns green.

"Olivia! We'll talk later, ok?" He says as he drives past the corner. I look back and see Olivia staring after us.

"You can't do that!" Olivia exclaimed frustrated. "What about everyone here?" I stared at her from my seat on her bed.

"Liv, this could be my chance to actually have a career, they've given me a whole 'scholarship' and everything."

"But what about Ashton, Luke, Michael and Calum? What about your mom? What about your brothers? What about me?" Olivia asked, raising her voice.

"Olivia, they're a band now, they're going on a tour with the hottest boyband of the decade in a week," I explained standing up to face her, "Mum, will be busy enough being the mother of Luke, Ben and Jack couldn't care less." I stated but then towards her. "Olivia, can't you see? This is my dream, I don't want to be left behind when everyone else is in the big world."

"But Harper-"

"I'm leaving on Sunday night," I said firmly, "you can't tell them anything."

My italics on Wattpad aren't working for some reason :/

I know y'all probably are desperate for some Luke-I promise he's in the next chapter. This was just very important.

Also, If you guys want to be put in the stories just let me know :)

Xoxo, all the love
