Forgotten (Book 1 Rewrite)

Tickets! (rewrite)

*Emma's P.O.V*
I sat next to my three best friends as my mind started wondering away from the conversation they were having, I had nothing to say about what they were speaking about, honestly I didn't even know what they were talking about. I stared at my wall seeing if my mind would bring anything into thought but it was just blank and empty. It was as if I was the only person that was just sitting in my room. My mind was completely empty as I heard a small voice coming from my thoughts Luke Hemmings, I slowly came back into the world when the name repeated but it came from one of my friends. I turned not thinking about what they were saying, interrupting them with my question. 

"What about Luke Hemmings?" I gave a confused look as they exchanged looks to one another and just bursted into a fit of laughter, "Nothing we're just playing matchmaker with the five seconds of summer boys, and we all agreed you too would be great together." Abby gave me a wink. No stop it, we would not make nothing great together. We couldn't even keep a friendship great together, my mind went crazy as I knew they waited for a response. I just nodded giving a smile that probably looked awkward. 

"Guys I don't think that's true, he's way too childish to be with me. And we'll he's just not my type. Plus if I wanted him he would be way out of my league because he's famous." They know him because we all went to school together but they don't know that I was close to him. I was mostly the invisible one when it came to those things. "There is also a one in a million chance for that to ever happen to such an ordinary girl." Stassie gave a pouty face and turned to me, grabbing my arm while shaking me slightly  "Yes we know, buy you can be that one from the million Em." I wanted to push her off my bed. 

I just gave a small laugh and shrugged my shoulders not wanting to have this conversation any longer. 

"Maybe it can happen anytime soon. Maybe even, I say tonight." Brianna pulled out four backstage passes and the girl went absolutely crazy. As for me I stared at it. No excitement, no scream, no smile, just nothing. You know what I did feel? I left that pain again, but this time a numbing pain.

"Hello Earth to Emma, are you okay?" Brianna hand waved passed my eyes as I brought myself back into reality, I put a smile on and slightly sighed while putting the ticket on top of Stassie's. "I'm gonna have to cancel. I have um plans with my um-" I looked down trying to figure out an excuse, but looked up when Abby cut me off "Emma please, just for us. One great fun night, and we'll make it up to you." A pout played on her face and I couldn't help but feel bad for wanting to go bail on them. But can you blame me for not wanting to go? I smiled while nodding and they squealed once again. 

My mind wandering off from the conversation once again, I felt absolutely numb while questions filled my head. What am I going to do? What am I going to tell them if he remembers me? I don't have to meet Luke, right?

Coming back to the conversation the girls have already left me for the hours I have left before the concert. I searched for an outfit, but I stopped knowing I had one picked out already. I didn't want to go. I couldn't go, I don't know what I would say if the guys recognized me or anything. I stared at my phone that day on my bed, I walked over throwing myself on my bed taking my phone and opening our group chat to cancel once again and this time actually cancel. 

I sat there for a while about me canceling, it wouldn't be fair right? If I should even cancel going because it's Luke's band and meet and greet. I mean it would be a waste of money on Brianna's part because spent so much for the V.I.P passes, I can always pay her back. Right? 

No, I need to just stop, and get over it already. This was going to happen one day. But why did it have to be today? On the day he left our home forever. 

Finally getting up, from my bed with my thoughts spilling all over. I sighed at the sight of my outfit for tonight. Here goes nothing. I sighed once again with a small pout, walking over and getting ready for the night. After I found myself slowly walking down the stairs to meet my mom in the kitchen. 

"Hello my daughter, what's with this look?" I gave a bigger pout along with a small sigh, while I sat on the counter. "Brianna got v.i.p tickets to the five seconds of summer concert, and I have to go because she spent so much on it." My mom turned around, while I stared at the floor I couldn't look at her because she reads me like a book and returns emotions. I just don't feel like crying over him again, I sighed looking up at my mom as her eyes stared at me with a dash of sadness. 

"Emma maybe this is a good idea after all. You finally get to see Luke after three years, you shouldn't be so sad about it. It was going to happen one day eventually" I gave another pout, I looked down while I played with the hem of my shirt. "Why did it have to be today? Out of all the days that will pass, why today? Today exactly it's been three years since he left and I can't do this not today." She walked over to me and rubbed my arm. 

"Look honey, three years is a time limit.  He may have stopped contacting you but that doesn't mean he has stopped his thoughts about you." She grabbed her drink and the fruit she cut, I sat there in my thoughts completely doubting everything. 

I doubt he has thought about me, why would he continuously think about me when he no longer speaks to me. I sound really stubborn. I just wish things would be completely different. I let myself focus back into reality while I was interrupted by the door bell, I sat there for a while before sighing one last time before getting down from the counter.  I made my way to the door but hesitated answering it while my mom waited for me to do so. "Can't you just say I'm grounded please?" I gave her a pout and she rolled her eyes, "No. Now you put a smile on and open that door." I nodded turning to the door, opening with a small smile. 

"By the time you answer the door, we're going to be late, let's go." I was pulled by Abby, while I yelled bye to my mom and dad. I'm going to regret this. I sighed while I let them drag me to the car.

Here goes nothing yet everything....
