Luke and I moved to my room. It wasn’t that much better because they’re both small, but my room was more spacious. We sort of had a mini sleepover, he brought his laptop and we watched movies on my bed. You wouldn’t be able to tell we were about to relapse minutes ago. It was nice to have a friend. I figured I could call him that at this point, he wasn’t as mean or moody as he was when he was with the boys and that waitress.

“Why were you and Calum fighting earlier?” I poked him. I didn’t know if it was just me, but he winced when I spoke.

“Nothing,” He coldly muttered as Cher from Clueless got mugged, ruining her expensive coat. I don’t understand why he would even want to watch such a girly movie. I loved it, and so did he, but it was strange. Strange is the only word I could describe it as. This was also an American movie, making this sitioun truly puzzling.

I knew he was lying. It had to be something; Calum and Luke were great friends. They had to be, they were in a band and living together. Four teenage boys living in a tiny room with their parents wasn’t normal, but I didn’t mind. It was hella rad.

“What’s going on with you and Ashton?” I snickered. Partly because of how stupid Cher was, but more at his question. Me and Ashton? He would never. But I was wrong. Again.

“Nothing.” I mocked him, trying to focus on Josh and Cher in the car. It was a good movie, and I didn’t want to miss it. I really didn’t want to fight either, me and my mother never fought, well until I left.  Mostly because I wasn’t allowed to speak out of term.  I had little people skills.

“That’s nice.” Another sneer left my mouth, but I left it at that. The movie is much more interesting, I told myself. It was really because I didn’t want him to hurt me. Giving the fight up ached, but I still bore the scars of weeks before. No way in hell would I put myself in that position again.

We didn’t talk for the rest of the film. It was disappointing he hadn’t made an effort, like we weren’t joking and laughing when it started. Our cheeks reddened when Josh and Cher kissed. I paid no mind to it; Cher and Josh were two normal and mentally stable lovebirds. There was no epiphany for me. Just that me and Luke made a promise, and that’s all. And kissed afterwards. Besides, we were terrible at keeping it.

“I’m happy that Mr. Hall and Miss. Geist are together” I watched the credits roll down the computer screen when he closed it.

“Really? What about Cher and Josh?” Luke magically returned to his other self. Maybe he needed to cool down.

“Eh they’re cute,” I said, “But Mr. and Mrs. Hall. I knew it from the begging.”

“The power couple?”

“Of course.”

“What about us?”
