Jack Duff and Liv Hail have been best friends for as long as they can remember. They grew up together. Went to the same school. They were practically best friends. But what will happen when Jack moves away from Ireland to go live in London with his...
"No you do not" Rye tells me, snatching the phone from my Hands.
"Give me my phone back" I roll my eyes a little at him.
"No, not until I know you won't call her. You both need to heal. Plus, you need to concentrate for these upcoming shows. You don't wanna let the fans down Mikey" I sigh deeply as he lectures me. "Mikey, I'm not going to lie, you are a mess. You need to sort this out otherwise it is all going to go to crap. When we are back home, then you can call her; just not out here, enjoy the time we have away from everything"
"Maybe I'm just fed up of everyone lecturing me, I'm fine!" I say harshly, snatching my phone from his hands. I storm into the room i am staying in and crash on to the bed. Rye and Andy don't know anything, they have no right to lecture me like this, I am not a child. I take a deep breath in, trying to calm my racing heart rate. If only Jack hadn't of found out, or if I had just not gotten involved with Liv in the first place, then none of this would be happening. But some of my happiest times have been with Liv, even though we were always sneaking around, we still managed to go out and do couple stuff together; Andy always makes sure he covered for us. I do miss her, I'm always wondering what she is doing. Is she missing me as much as I miss her? Does she really love me? Will I ever see her again? The last one makes my heart jump and I feel like crying.
Over the next two weeks that we have been in America I have focused only on the shows that we have been doing. Meeting fans makes me happy and takes my mind of Liv. We go home tomorrow and I'm dreading it; I am gonna have nothing to take my mind off everything. I've been able to avoid Jack these past weeks but once we get home there will be nowhere for me to hide.

"How about we just go see them? We are on summer break now so there will be no need to worry about college. What do you say?" Sam asks me as I shovel yet another spoon full of cookie dough ice cream into my mouth; mean girls is playing on the TV.
"I don't think that's a very good idea Sam" I say, not taking my eyes off the TV.
"Why not?"
"It just isn't. He probably doesn't want to see me"
"Are you joking! Of course he does! He's miserable!"
"And how exactly do you know that?" I question her. She blushes a little, what is going on with her?
"Well then? Do you wanna go?" She says, avoiding my question.
"No"
"This is gonna be your last chance Liv"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Look" she passes me her phone, and I instantly freeze at what I am seeing.

"Six weeks Liv. They will be away for the entire summer"
"There is another reason why you want to go and you aren't telling me" I say to her.
"I'm not ready to talk about that just yet"
"Well maybe I'm not ready to talk about Mikey!"
"Liv, I didn't mean to upset you" Sam smiles sadly. She goes to put her hand on my shoulder but I get up and walk to my room.
As i lay in bed I contemplate wether to ring him or not. My phone is right there on the night stand, my fingers itching to grab it. After about 15 minuets I finally reach over and grab my phone, typing his number that I had memorised into my contacts search bar. I press call once I have found his contact and listen as the phone rings. I wait for a while until it goes to voicemail. After the 'beep' I am silent before whispering out a broken 'I miss you' ending the call quickly, instantly bursting into tears. And as I lay there, my pillow become wetter and wetter with my tears, I think 'how did this get so bad'

"They leave in a few days Liv"
"I know Sam, we are not going"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am" I'm currently packing my suit case, I am gonna go home to live with my mum for a bit, it will help me keep my mind off things.
"I wish you didn't have to go, I hate being in the apartment by myself."
"You will live Sam, stop being dramatic" I roll my eyes at her. She has been trying her best to convince me to stay.
"Listen Liv. I know you love him, I know how it feels to love someone" I look at her, shocked by her confession. "Please don't ask me about it right now, we are talking about you not me" I nod, allowing her to speak. "You need to fight for him, before he leaves. If you don't go now then you are gonna have to wait, and I hate seeing you miserable" Sam sighs. I feel tears beginning to pool in my eyes. I do love Mikey, there is no doubt about that; I'm just not sure if he loves me back. When we had our argument and I blurted out that I loved him, he refused to believe it was true, he never said it back or anything. I don't want this to be some stupid one sided love story.
"He misses you Liv" I look up at her from where I am sat on the floor by my bags. "I know that you are confused about how I know that but I promise I will tell you soon."
Over the next few days I think over what she has said. I love Mikey. And I have heard people say that you should fight for what you love. I can't give up on him, what is the harm in trying? To be honest his rejection could really damage me; but I know I have to try. I need to get up off this sofa and do something.
I stand up "let's do it! Let's go"
"Are you being serious?" Sam smiles.
"Yes. What time does their plane leave?"
"Early tomorrow morning. If we go now then we might be able to catch a flight quick enough" I nod, rushing to get my bag that I had luckily already packed, ready to go to mums. I sigh deeply, I am really doing this!
I'm coming Mikey...
