Remember

CH:29

Skylars P.O.V

 I wake up and sigh. Ashton left late last night and stayed at the hotel with the boys. I didn't really mind and Elliot said that the shop was closing early so he didn't need any help today which was his way of saying (I called you in sick you owe me) Its the day of Justins party and I'm really excited. I walk out of the room and see Paige in the hall on the phone. 

"Who was it?" I ask as she hangs up. 

"Calum. Hes gonna meet us and I'm gonna have him help me pick out a dress for tonight." She says with a smile. I nod and walk back into my room to change. As I'm scouring the closet my phone rings.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Hey babe! You know that dress we bought?" Ashton asks. 

"Yea what about it?" I ask.

"You need it for a different occasion..." He says.

"What?" I laugh.

"Well Harry invited me to this dinner party with some of his friends and he said to have you come with me. Would you want to-"

"Yup! I'll go get a new dress today then. You want to come?" I asked.

"I gotta record with Luke until about 4...I'll just have to wait to see how good you look in it until I pick you up." He says. 

"Alright see ya tonight." I say and hang up the phone. 

 

As I continue to search the closet Paige comes in the room and falls onto my bed.

"Yes?" I ask with a laugh.

"Why...is...he...so...amazing?" She asks. I just laugh and shake my head. Pulling out the shirt I wanted I had the outfit in my head and found everything I needed for it. (On the side)

"Paige wait for me downstairs I'm gonna get ready." I say.

"Hey Cal!" I say as we get out of the car.

"Hi Skylar! Ash was bummed he couldn't hang out." He says. I just shrug.

"Its ok. At least he can come to the party." I say with a smile. Paige gets out of the car and walks over to Calum giving him a hug and kissing his cheek. 

"I'm gonna go. Call me when you re done Paige!" I say over my shoulder as I walk to the store I ALWAYS get any dress I need from. I wish Ashton could have came. So many things that happen with Ashton make me sad,happy, and scared at the same time. I love that he missed me as much as I missed him and that he has had such a great amount of success with his career but that also worries me. Knowing that he meets and see's hundreds of girls each day and that a lot of them are so much more than I am. I dread the day that he leaves because I cant just pick everything up and go back to Australia. Pro's and Con's I guess. 

I push the thoughts to the back of my mind and focus on the dress I need. I was regretting choosing the one I did anyway so I'm kind of happy Ashton told me about the dinner party when he did. 

Looking at the dresses I found a couple that could work and basically said fuck it I'm getting them all. As I waked out of the dress shop I went to find shoes which miraculously didn't take long at all. 

'I need Starbucks' I think to myself. I walked to the small building and as I scoped the inside I saw something that couldn't be missed. His hair. Walking over to him I sat down across from him.

"Hey Skylar!" Michael says looking up from his phone.

"Hi." I say with a smile. 

"Whats up?" He asks taking a drink of his coffee.

"Not much. I've been by myself all day and when I saw you in here I just decided I was gonna hang out with you." I say. He laughs and nods.

"Ash really wanted to hang out with you. Luke practically had to DRAG him to the studio." He says with a laugh. I nod.

"I know he did. I would have felt really bad if he put me over his job." I say honestly.

"Skylar, Ash is always gonna put you before his career. He always does that. Any girl he has even seen a potential in he has put first. I don't know why he cant see that he needs to care about himself sometimes but he just doesn't." Michael says taking another drink from the coffee.

"Great...this is gonna be interesting," I say. "How much longer are you guys in LA?" I ask. 

"Around a month I think." He says catching on to what I'm really asking.

"You don't think he will ask me to go back with him do you?" I ask.

"If you are still together my guess is he will. He really cares about you Skylar. He never stopped caring about you. Every time we would play like truth or dare or something with girls from school, they would ask him what the best thing that ever happened to him was. He said his Ex-girlfriend and his band..." Michael said. I felt the heat rising in my cheeks and I looked to the floor.

"Really?" I ask

"I wouldn't tell you a lie." He says with a smile. I nod and just as I'm about to go on with the conversation my phone vibrates.

FROM: Paige

Hey I'm ready to go back now;)

 

TO: Paige

kk :)

"I gotta go. See you later Michael!" I say as I get up.

"Bye Skylar!" He calls.

 

I walk out of Starbucks sadly not getting what I came for. Walking to the corner I look over and see Paige and Calum up against his car making out.

"CUT THE FUCKING PDA DAMN THERE ARE CHILDREN AROUND!!" I yell as I walk to the car. Paige squeals and backs away from Calum. He wears a smile on his face and looks to the pavement.

"See look guys," I take a deep breath and exhale. "Aaaaaiiiirrrr, It keeps us ALIVE sucking off other peoples faces doesn't." I say with a laugh. Paige kisses Calum quickly one more time before getting in the car with her bags.

"You're a bitch." She says as we pull out onto the street. I laugh.

"I get that a lot." I say.

"Just drive so we can get ready for this amazing party." She says with a laugh.

"You don't care about the party. You just wanna make out with Calum again." I state. She hesitates and then looks out the window as I laugh.
