Red Strings (5 Seconds of Summer fanfic)

Chapter 24

Skyler's POV

"Oh my God I ruined your date!" I said tucking my knees into my chest, "you didn't ruin it" "yes I did I can't believe you guys had a fight" "it wasn't a fight" "I am the worst friend ever" "Skylar" she said hoping to calm me down "Natalie" I sighed she smiled a frown tugging at the corners of her lips 

"you didn't ruin anything." I bite my lip still uncertain remembering how happy she looked when I saw her at the Glob. "Promise me you'll talk to him tomorrow?" I say holding out my pinky finger. When she realizes I'm not going to give up she rolls her eyes 

"pinky promise" she agrees hooking our fingers together, I smiled "well on that note I think we should both go to bed." I nod rolling off my bed and pulling out the pair of PJ's Natalie always keeps at my house. She shrieks as they hit her face "It's only 11:00 why are we going to bed?" She pouted "because you my friend have a big day tomorrow" I say patting her back she rolls her eyes jumping of the bed and into the bathroom that attached to my bedroom. 

I wake up before Natalie and shove her shoulder when I notice the tie making her groan in protest. "Wake up sleepy head." I sing jumping out of bed and looking into the mirror. I groan at my reflection, automatically reaching for my make up bag and hair straightener. I grab my concealer and dab around my eyes before applying the rest of my makeup. 

"Natalie!" I call grabbing my eye liner and leaning into the mirror to apply it in a thick line. "What?" She whined turning over in the bed "get up!" I laugh running the comb through my long brown hair trying to untangle any knots. 

She groans and I sigh running up to the bed and jumping on it "Get up, get up, get up!" I chanted "Ok, ok" she says nearly falling out of the bed. I laugh and run back into my closet and rummage through. "Why are you in such a good mood?" She asks walking to the bathroom. 

"This one or this one," I say holding up two shirts she takes the tooth brush out of her mouth and scrunches her nose "neither." I gasp pretending to be offended and throwing both options down on my bed heading back to my closet. I hear my phone buzz in my pocket and I pull it out confused nearly dropping it when the caller ID read Cal Hoodling I scream catching Nat's attention 

"what is it?" she asks I flash the screen towards her for what seems like only a second before she shakes her head. "No Sky no" she warns trying to grab at the phone I smirk "Hey Cal" I say looking in Nat's direction "Hey are you uh with Natalie?" he asked a hint of nervousness in her voice  "why yes I am would you like to speak with her?" I asked Natalie looking mortified "no um it's ok just ask her if she'll meet me at the Glob later yeah?" "will do" I say mouthing the word to Natalie 'you promised' as she shakes her head 

"oh and Sky, do you know what's wrong with Luke?" "how would I know?" I asked suddenly defensive "he came home in a really pissy mood last night just wondered if you knew what was up." 

"Nope no idea" I said quickly "bye now" I sang hanging up the phone. "You have to go meet Calum in about an hour" I smirk looking at my clock attached to the wall "I hate you," she screamed making me laugh. "You know you love me, I know you care" I began "Shut it!" she warned slapping my arm. "Ow!" 

Natalie's POV

"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!" I screamed stumbling into the bathroom, washing my face quickly, before grabbing a pair of shorts I had once left at Skyler's.  "Come on, you promised!" she retorted "So?  I didn't expect you to do it at this UNRULY hour of the morning!" I complained looking around at what to wear.  "Excuse me?  It's only 10:30!" "EARLY" I emphasized as I threw on a tank top.
