This Is Us

This Is Us 2.0

It all started 6 years ago when me and Blake walked into a bar in Sydney. That was supposed to be it, a few drinks, some dancing, a girls night after the concert. I wasn't supposed to go home with anyone, and I certainly wasn't supposed to fall in love with the drummer.

Now 6 years later I'm sitting on said drummers couch watching him on the tv talk about his bands album Youngblood's release date and how he thinks this one is better then their first two. It's absolutely unbelievable I think to myself, sighing and turning the tv off when the screaming fans start up again. I have no right to be jealous. I shouldn't be jealous. It's illogical for me to be jealous.

We're friends at best.

Is it too much to ask for something great though?

Blake walks into the room from the kitchen soon after I turn the television off.

"Why'd it go off?" She asks sitting next to me on the soft grey couch.

"I um, I turned it off" I say looking away from her.

"Melody" she sighs beckoning me to her.

"I know what you're gonna say and I don't need to hear it again" I say falling into her smaller embrace.

"Fine, I won't boar you with it again, now...I may have a date with Harry and Ashton tonight" she says smiling at me.

Both of them?

I nod, swallowing a weird lump that has since formed in my throat, smiling awkwardly.

"It's not that kinda date, chill" she says laughing.

"Oh" I mumble easing up "so you and Harry...?" I trail off teasing.

Her face goes red and she looks away shaking her head. "No, but that's okay" she says smiling down at her lap.

"Anyway, you're invited to the dinner thing, we're just going to a pizza place."

"Okay, why don't we make it a group thing?" I say looking at my hands.

She looks at me with a bit of a knowing soft smile.

"It's already a group thing....who else do you want to come?" She sighs.

"Mickey likes pizza" I say messing with the ring on my right hand.

"Fine, you call him and then go get ready, we're leaving in 20" she says hoping off the couch and running to Luke's room to probably change out of sweats.

Do not ask me why she keeps shit in Luke's room, they're twin close.

I dial Michaels number and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hello?" He says after it stops ringing.

"Me and Blake were wondering if you wanted to tag along for pizza with us Harry and Ashton" I say biting my lip.

"Oh sure, sounds great. When?" He asks me.

"Just...go with Ashton" I say, unsure myself of when or where we are going.

"See you then" he says before hanging up.

Blake comes back down around 5 minutes later, dressed in black skinny jeans and one of Louis' old jerseys.

"Why do you have that?" I question when she walks by me.

"I don't know, I asked if I could wear it" she says looking down and thumbing at the material "Why? Should I...not?"

"Well Blake, you just came out of one guys room wearing another guys jersey to go meet three more guys" I say giggling.

"Hoeing it up" she says sticking her tounge out and winking.
