It's been at least five minutes since he left me standing there alone in the hall, but I still couldn't move. I'm still in complete shock as to what he just did. I'm always the one to force myself on him. And when I do it's never to the extent of what he just did to me. "Hss." I sharply inhaled through my teeth at the aching pain at the base of my neck where he'd bitten into me. He bit down so hard that I'd actually thought he'd broken the skin. I bruise easily and I can only imagine what my neck was going to look like tomorrow. As shocked and horrified as I was at what just happened I still had to go back to the main studio where Michael was and get Sunny for our little mall date we had planned. I made my way back surprisingly not getting lost in the maze of halls. I pulled my hair to the front of my shoulders to hide the obvious redness of my neck as I approached the studio door. Just as I pushed on it, Luke was pulling it, and his strength pulled me with the door, flinging me towards him. "Jesus...you scared me!" He said laughing as he caught me in his arms. I looked at him momentarily before directing my vision elsewhere. "Sunny? You ready to go?" I asked. She gave me a weird look, so my expression must not have been as calm as I thought it was. "Yea let me grab my bag." She kissed Ashton on the cheek before making her way over to the bench. I noticed the rest of the girls get up almost on time with her. "What's going on?" I asked looking at Sydney. "Sunny said we were all going to the mall or something." She answered my questioning look. "Oh. Yea." I mumbled. So I guess she invited the rest of the girls while I was gone. I mean, I don't mind, we're all pretty close friends. "Mike hand me my bag, it's on the other side of your feet." It wasn't until then that I noticed where Michael was sitting. With Lexi the studio tech in the very back of the room, as she tuned his guitar before handing it back to him and getting up to join us. He handed Sunny her bag before looking up at me with an animal like grin spread across his face. Sydney and Lexi walked back to give goodbye hugs. It was moments like these when I would find myself feeling like a bit of a loser. Sunny and Syd were happy in a relationship while I was forever alone randomly making out with Mike in private on occasion. As they turned to walk toward me he flashed me a wink and went back to strumming his guitar. "Are you ok?" Sydney asked just as I shut the door to the room we'd just left. "Yea why?" I asked, smiling. "You just looked upset standing there waiting on us..I don't know." She said, unsure. "Um, no. I mean I'm a little tired but that's it." I answered. As we left we took the elevator downstairs being the lazy asses we are. "Tired? What'd you and Mike do? Huh?" Sunny teased poking at my sides laughing. "Anal." I sarcastically retorted. This sent Lexi and Sunny into a fit of laughter while Sydney stood beside me looking confused and disgusted. "I'm kidding." I assured her with a pat on the shoulder. "Oh shut up!! What really happened when I left? And don't leave out a single detail!! I wanna know!" Sunny squealed. Ya see, Sunniva feels like just because she can talk about her and Ashton's sex life so easily with us, that it's just as easy for us to just shamelessly talk about the things we and the other guys do. "Um..well..I don't wanna talk about it!!" I whined embarrassed. "AWH, c'mon!" Sunny and Lexi whined. "It can wait until lunch. Right Becca?" Sydney asked, saving me from further embarrassment. "Yes! thank you! Give me some time to get my thoughts together and I'll tell you!" I sighed. This is why she and I had grown closer, because we were there to save each other from awkward situations like these. Neither I or Sydney were too fond of talking about the things we did with the boys to people. But the funny thing was, when we were alone together we told each other almost everything. It's a weird relationship we have but I enjoy it. "Um, who's driving?" I asked knowing that neither Lexi or I had driven ourselves here. "I am. Cal gave me the Audi for a few hours while they got some work done." Sydney stated. "Ooh la la..the Audi." Sunny teased. "Damn he lets you drive his car? He must really love you." Lexi gushed. "Yea Mike only lets me drive the Infiniti when he's too tired to drive." I added while we all climbed in the car. "God, When are you two gonna date?" Sydney asked. "Erm..I don't..know...why?" I asked, I thought Sydney was on my side..I'm confused. "Probably whenever he decides he's gonna stop being a dick to you all the time..right?" Lexi added. Lexi is my best friend. She always has been. We came from the same hometown to stay here with my much older cousin Ella, in hopes of meeting the boys since she and her friend Ruby both work for their management. My thoughts were interrupted by the fact that Lexi was still rambling on about Mike and I. "I honestly don't understand why you don't just give Luke a chance and stop trying so hard with Michael." She always had to inject this idea every time the subject of Mike and I came up. "Because I like Michael! And besides I don't even know that Luke likes me." I nearly shouted. "Why do you like him? He treats you like shit. And you don't even know that HE likes you. And please we can all tell that Luke likes you. Even Ash has told me he does." My jaw dropped. The rest of the girls nodded in agreement with her. "Wait..WHAT?!" I yelled. "When was this said?! No one has said a damn thing to me about this!" "No one needed to!! Its so obvious. Jesus Becca, I thought you were smarter than this." Unphased by her most recent insult, I continued my questions. "Well it's apparently not too obvious if I haven't a clue about what you're talking about!" Lexi and I get into these screaming matches often. It's what keeps our friendship going. "Think about it, he's the one that confronted you at the club that night, bought your drinks, danced with you, talked to you, swapped numbers with you. Hell!! Didn't you guys even kiss a few times?! I mean he's been after you from the start." She shouted at me. "YOU GUYS KISSED?!" Sunny squealed. "A FEW TIMES?!" Sydney piped in. I became so frustrated that I decided my shocking confession would shut them up. "Yea we did and actually, if you must know, we hooked up in the backseat of his car that night but I'm guessing none of you knew that or I'd be getting interrogated about that too!!" This time I was louder, shouting overtop of their layered squeals. There was a good ten seconds of silence before Sydney rolled to a stop on the side of the road. Great. Now look what I've done. After turning the car off she turned around to look directly at me. Sunny and Lexi already doing the same, but with their mouths hanging open. "Now wait..you're..serious?" Sydney asked honestly. "Yep." Was all I answered. Sunny and Lexi looked at each other for a few seconds before bursting out laughing. "You tramp!!" Sunny said in excitement. I knew she'd have a field day trying to get this story out of me. At this point Sydney had turned back around and continued driving down the road. "Oh!! We have sooo much to talk about." Sunny said looking at me before flashing her eyes back over to Lexi. "Indeed." Lexi said stifling her laughter. The whole five more minutes it took to get to the mall was silenced by my headphones playing "Longview" by Green Day.
