Chapter 10

Charlie's P.O.V.

Today, I'm going to spend the whole day with my best friends.

I'm invited at Ashton's house, so I'm walking towards it now.

It's been a week since I've been at Luke's place, and we sorted everything out.

It is a beautiful day, the sun is out and there's no cloud to be seen at the sky.

I'm wearing jeans shorts, together with my all time black Vans and a white Nirvana tee.

By the time I've arrived at Ashton's house, I'm really exhausted.

Joy's already here, she slept over.

I knock at his door, and a few seconds later, Ashton answers it.

"Come on in, you're last!" He smiles widely, giving me a quick hug.

As I walk into the living room, I greet everyone by hugging them.

This friendcircle and hugging.

I keep Luke for last, so I can give him a kiss.

I hear the boys cooeing on the background, but I ignore it.

"Why the hell are you wearing a sweater anyways?" Calum asks Luke.

He responds by just shrugging his shoulders.

I give him a not-understanding look, but he shakes it off.

We have a great time laughing and playing Fifa, even though Ashton doesn't really like it.

Joy pokes me every now and then, giving me a weird smile, making me snicker.

Luke is acting a bit odd today, so I guess he's just tired.

That boy needs to go to bed on time.

Says the girl who spends her whole night on Tumblr.

A good hour later, we have nothing to do but hanging on couches.

Joy stands up, holding her finger up in the air.

"Guys!" She shuts us down.

"I have an idea."

We all look at her, wondering.

"Why don't we go to the beach? It's a private beach, so no one will see what we're doing." She winks, making us laugh.

"Seems like a great idea." Michael says, smiling like a kid on Christmas day.

The others nod, already making plans on what they're going to do, when Luke clears his throath.

"Uhm, I'll pass." He says quietly.

"What? You're mostly the first one at the door to leave when the beach is mentioned. Are you sick or something?" Calum says, and I'm really wondering what's going on with him.

"No, I just don't want to go."

"Well, we're leaving now, are you coming, Charlie?" Calum asks me, and I shake my head.

"I'm going to keep Luke company, you guys can go."

"Okay, you sure?"

I nod, and so they happily walk towards the door, minutes later, it's quiet.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask him, really wanting to know.

"What do you mean, I'm perfectly fine." He huffs, crossing his arms over his chest, revealing a lot of bracelets.
