Not So Best Friends

Chapter 38

     *Gwen's P.O.V*

   Everyone paused. The whole world stopped spinning. What do I say now? Oh yea, back to reality.

   "Why are you yelling at each other. Why are you crying Elisabeth. And why won't you guys look at me. And why are the girls so quiet. And Luke why do u have a sorry face on." I pointed at each and everyone of them as I talked. It was silent for about five minutes. I stood there and then crossed my arms. I raised and eyebrow and waited for someone to talk while I heard Elisabeth sniffle. "No one isn't going to speak?" I said sharply. I felt like I was a mother controlling 8 kids. I walked up to Luke and looked him straight in the eyes, "what happened."

   Luke sighed. I turned and saw Michael look down and nod his head. "What's wrong." I demanded. I wanted the answer before I lash out in anyone. "Michael... Michael, he um, kissed.. um... Michael kissed, well made out with another... another girl and we... we didn't st... st... stop him." Luke stuttered. Oh my lord he stuttered so much he was that scared or nervous, damn. And also WHAT THE F*CK!!!! I turned sharply on my heels and glared at Michael. I slowly started walking towards Michael. "You. Little. Dick." I sped up fast but before I could jump or slap him Calum got up and caught me and held me back. "Calum let go!" I yelled and started hitting him. "No." he held onto me tighter. Everyone watched me struggle trying to break through Calum's arms. My face was red as a strawberry and anger kept filling up in my veins.

   "YOU HURT MY BEST FRIEND. YOU MADE OUT WITH ANOTHER CHICK! YOU HURT MY F*CKING BEST FRIEND!!! YOU DICK HEAD!" I yelled. "AND YOU GUYS JUST LET IT HAPPEN. YOUR OTHER BEST FRIEND, YOU LET YOUR OTHER BEST FRIEND GET HURT!" I looked directly at all of them. "Can I talk to her pls alone." Michael pleaded. "Can I talk to you." Michael asked Elisabeth. She was in beyond tears if the carpet wasn't absorbing all the water from her tears I swear there would of been a puddle. "Fine." She shuffled. I sighed and Calum took me outside as the rest followed us.

   Ashton and Luke stood by the door so once Calum let go of me I wouldn't barge in and slap Michael. Thank god Luke's mom wasn't home.

   I started pacing back and forth nodding my head. "I can't believe you just let it happen." I started. "You know it's not fun getting cheated on. Trust me." I nodded not even noticing what I was saying, started another fight. "Really." I heard Luke's voice. I shot my head up and looked at him. "What?" I questioned. "You had to say that." He said. "You had to say it's not fun getting cheated on, trust me." He continued. "I... I didn't mean it." I stuttered. Oh shit oh shit oh shit!! "Yea whatever." He groaned. "Im sorry I didn't mean it! I'm just mad." I tried to explain. "Guys stop." Ashton snapped. We stopped talking. We all stood outside waiting. I started to yawn and get tired. They finally came out separately and not speaking. Elisabeth's eyes were still red from crying and Michael's face was pale, looking like he was going to be sick. "We broke up. We're not together anymore. We don't want to discuss it." Michael coughed. We all just nodded. Elisabeth stood next to me. "I'm going to go back to my house." Michael spoke. "I'll go with you." Calum said. "We're going to go to Erin's house.." Jacklyn trailed off. Jacklyn and Calum kissed goodbye to each other and we all said goodbye to everyone.

   "I'm sorry about earlier and about the plate." I told Luke. "It's fine." He hugged me and kissed the top of my head. "I'll see you tomorrow." We walked away. "Bye Ashton!" We shouted. "Bye girls!" He shouted back.

   We ran to my stairs and ran upstairs to my room. Once we got into my room I turned around and hugged Elisabeth she broke down into tears once she was in my arms. "It's okay. It's okay. Shhh." I tried quieting her and making her calm. I stroked her hair and I moved to the bed and sat down. I put a pillow on my lap and she laid her head on it. I stroked her hair and turned on a little bit of music.

     *weeks later*

   "They still won't talk to each other. Their friendship is ruined. They make eye contact and they Sorry." Calum sat down at the lunch table. "They'll get use to it." Ashton said eating.

   Elisabeth and Michael were still broken up. We kept thinking they'd be back together in a few days or a week but weeks went by and it never happened. Elisabeth is herself around me and the girls but not around any of the guys. Michael's himself around everyone unless we're all with Elisabeth. It's weird.

     *bell rings*

   "Let's go babe." Luke grabbed my hand. We walked to class and finished the day out.

   "So did anyone get any college acceptation letters?" I asked. I looked at everyone. Graduation was in 2 weeks and we started looking and entering into colleges. Everyone told me where they were going and they got accepted. But Luke didn't say anything.

   "Luke? Baby? How about you?" I asked nudging him. "Um.. I.. didn't get anything yet." He stuttered. Calum looked at him and shook his head. Calum looked like he knew something.

     *3 hours later*

   Everyone went home and Luke and I were sitting on my couch watching Cinderella. "I'll be right back." He whispered kissing my cheek. I nodded. He walked upstairs into the bathroom. Luke left his phone on the coffee table. I reached over and grabbed it. I unlocked his phone and looked through his messages.

     *Messages with Calum*

Cal: dude are you ever going to tell her?

Luke: yes just not now.

Cal: when?

Luke: on graduation after the party

Cal: that's a little late, you leave the next day

Luke: I know I just feel like it's not the right time now since we're busy

Cal: stop making excuses Luke. Your scared to tell her because u don't know how she's going to react.

Luke: I'm going to New York for college and we planned on staying wit each other but it was a scholarship. And us as a band are busy wit writing and our next tour.

Cal: are you going to break up with her?

Luke: of course not! Never again.

   "What are you doing." Luke stood there looking down at me. I shut his phone off and gave it to him. "Here you go." I said. He put it back on the coffee table. "So you were going to tell me at the last minute that you were going to NYU." I crossed my arms and legs. "I was but I was thinking I was going to do it earlier. I'm sorry I should of told you earlier. I didn't know what to do." He said putting his hands on my thigh. "Why don't u just break up with me since your going all the way to New York and you will be busy with ur next tour and music." I said. "Why are you acting like this. Please stop." He whined. "What were you going to decide to tell me last minute? Like you always like to tell me things?" I throw my hands up. "I was scared this was going to happen."

   He sighed. "Look just break up with me and let it be final so we can get through our life with an ease." I said looking down. I heard his footsteps come closer and suddenly I saw his feet under my eyes. He put my chin up and now we were eye to eye. "If you read the text I would never break up with you again. So I'm never going to break up with you ever again. We will work this out I promise." He starred into my eyes.

   "I'm just worried, what if we don't." I hugged him. "We will, we always find a way too." He hugged my back.
