Once In A Lifetime

Let's talk

Lily's POV:

"They're where?!?" I yelled at Mikey.

"I just told you. They're in Australia. Calm down Lily."

"Why are they in Australia in the first place? And don't you dare tell me to calm down!" I yelled.

"Ash wanted to do something super romantic for Maddie, so he's taking her out on a date in Australia and taking her to meet his mum and Hus brother and sister."

"Okay..." I said, sitting back down on my bed and starting to calm down a bit. "That is pretty romantic.. But why didn't he tell me?"

"The less people who knew, the better. At least, that's what he thought." Mikey said, sitting down on my bed beside me.

"How long are they gone?" I asked, laying down.

"About a week or two I think."

"Ugh.. First Harry, then Maddie and Ash, who's next?"

"Wait. What are you talking about? What did Harry do?"

"He didn't necessarily do anything. Its just that he decided to stat for another week and I really miss him. I also know that you guys are going back on tour in three weeks and I just want to spend as much time with him as possible before I don't get to see him for a long time. I just realized how empty this house is going to be. I'm so glad that my sister let you guys stay here.. I wonder what would've happened if she didn't."

"Let's not worry about that, because it did happen. And don't worry about tour. We'll be fine. All of us. Including you. Now I'm really sorry, but I have to go so something."

He gave me a quick hug, and then he was gone.

"Wait. Mikey!" I yelled, as I ran down the stairs.

"Yes?" He asked me from the bottom of the stairs when I finally caught up to him.

"Will you take me to pick up the CD tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Just tell me when we need to leave tomorrow, and we can go."

"Thanks Mikey!"

"No problem."

I turned and ran back up the stairs and wondered about what I was going to do today.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Mikey, knock it off! You said you had stuff to do, so..." I opened the door and saw the person I least expected.

"Hey Luke..." I said awkwardly.

"We need to talk." He said as he pushed his way by me into my room.

"Okay..." I said. "What about?" I asked him, even though I had an idea what it was about.

"You know what." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Luke. It's over, that was a long time ago. I moved past it, why can't you? I forgave you, what more do you want?"

"You wanted to talk about it before the whole thing with Madison happened, but then you completely forgot about me, and I was pushed to the side! I don't want anything except to be able to talk to you again without feeling like a jerk!" He yelled at me, and I was taken aback by his tone.

"Well it's not my fault you feel like a jerk! You did it, not me! I forgave you, and I tried to be your friend again, and you didn't want that. You didn't want to talk to me, you didn't show me that you wanted to be anything more than acquaintances! So, sorry if I didn't want to keep trying to pursue a friendship that wasn't going to happen!" I yelled back.

"Well it's not my fault that your boyfriend threatened me into never talking to you again!!" He yelled even louder, but he then realized what he said and covered his face with his hands as I stumbled backwards confused by his words.

"W-what are you talking about?" I asked, leaning against the wall for support.

"Harry threatened that if I ever talked to you, or anything like that again, that he would personally have me arrested or killed. I was terrified. I mean, have you seen how huge that guy is?!?"

"Harry would never do something like that. You're lying to me. Get out."

"Lily, I'm telling the-" I cut him off.

"I SAID GET OUT!!" I screeched as he ran out the door and down the stairs.

I collapsed on my bed and cried, hearing the words Luke had said ringing in my head.

"Lily! What the heck just happened?!?" Zoie, Mikey, and Jason came running into the room.

"Get out." I said at a low whisper.

"What?" They all asked.

"I said, get out!" I pointed at the door and raised my voice.

Zoie and Jason walked out, Jason going downstairs and Zoie waiting by the door. Mikey, however, can closer. He sat down on my bed beside me and ran his hand up and down my back supportively.

"I'm gone for twenty minutes, and this is what happens?" He said, trying to lighten the mood, but I wasn't in the mood for jokes.

"Mikey. H-he said that Harry threatened him. He said that H-Harry was gonna kill him if he ever talked to me again." I whispered just loud enough for Mikey to hear.

"What? Who did?" He asked me.

"Luke." I whispered even lower than before.

"Why would Luke say that? Harry would never do that! He's the nicest person I know."

"That's what I thought. He wouldn't make that up. Would he?" I asked, looking up at Mikey, expecting him to have the answers.

"That's for you to decide. Harry is a really nice person. He's your boyfriend. You have to decide if you trust him more than the rumors and everyone else. You can't listen to what everyone else says. I suggest you call him and ask him. You trust him more than anyone else right?"

"Right..."

"Then keep that in mind when you talk to him." Mikey said, pulling out his phone and calling Harry.

Harry picked up, and Mikey handed me the phone.

"Mikey?" Harry said.

"Hey Harry." I said.

"Lily, what's wrong?" He asked me sounding concerned.

I heard a person in the background asking who I was, and Harry told them to shush.

"Nothing's wrong... Per se... I just need to ask you something."

"Anything. What do you need to ask love?"

"Harry did you threaten Luke if he talked to me again?"

The only thing I heard on the phone was silence, and the call ended.

Guys, I'm so sorry for doing so many chapters in Maddie's POV in a row, but I now have an important question for you. Do you want me to take everyone else's POV out of this book and put them into multiple other books? Like one where the entire book is of this trip but in Zoie's POV or one in Harry's. Let me know in the comments. Love yoo! 💖 -The Author

PS! Do you think Harry did it or not? Tell me in the comments!!
