Nash's POV
"Lauran?" Haven looked at me.
"Jason?" I looked at Haven.
"Are you kidding me?" We said in unison.
"What's wrong?" Lauran purred from behind me, grasping my shoulder. Lauran was really
annoying and I'm usually not the jealous type, but with Haven I couldn't help it.
I knew Jason was a nice guy and all and just from this situation I was thinking he could treat
her better than me.
"Hey Haven, wanna go sit down? Maybe grab a drink?" He stepped in front of her. "Yeah,
sure." She said and turned her attention to us.
"Nash, Lauran, we're gonna get something to eat, Come sit with us?"
"Sure," I fake smiled and Lauran smirked at me.
What the heck? Why would she smile? Oh yeah, because she thinks this is a real date..
I wanted to get back at Haven, but at the same time I felt pretty bad for bringing Lauran,
because I started this mess anyway.
We all grouped around a booth in the burger joint and sat.
"So..." Lauran furiously chewed her bubblegum and picked at her nails.
We each grabbed a menu and sat their in silence.
A waiter skipped over to out table and grabbed out her notepad.
"We'll share a strawberry milkshake please," Jason smiled, pointing to Haven.
They just met and they're gonna share a milkshake?
That's either the stupidest thing ever, or I'm the stupidest person ever for getting upset over
it.
"Coke," I put my fist down on the table, maybe a little too loudly.
Lauran just nodded to the waiter, saying she would have the same.
I caught Haven glancing over my shoulder at the table behind me.
I quickly looked back and was quite ashamed that I did.
All this frustration, and I look back to see the absolute last face I wanted to see tonight,
Amanda's.
Haven just smiled and put her head down.
She stood up and awkwardly made her way around Jason out of the booth.
"I'm gonna go request a playlist," she smiled, "get some real music in here."
As soon as her back was turned to us, I was shocked when I found the collar of my shirt
clenched inside of a tan colored fist.
"So tell me, Grier. Why are you really here?" He came a step closer.
"What do you mean?" I asked, trying not to cause any commotion in the restaurant.
He only furrowed his eyes at me and pulled harder at my neck.
*Haven's POV*
So what do they have here?
I wasn't expecting much from a small pizzeria, but I could still try.
I was actually quite surprised with the selection of songs they had to offer.
So of course, from what I had scrambled up, I managed to find a pretty good playlist,
Which included:
The 1975 - The City
Bring Me the Horizon- Can You Feel My Heart
Sleeping with Sirens- If I'm James Dean Then You're Audrey Hepburn
5 Seconds of Summer- Voodoo Doll
Green Day- American Idiot
Black Veil Brides- Fallen Angles
and
Alter Bridge -Cry of Achilles
Honestly, I didn't care if people liked the music, cause I enjoyed it a lot.
There was just always something about punk rock that made me get all excited.
Then suddenly there was something else that I was not only hearing, but seeing that made
me excited, but not in a happy way.
*Nash's POV*
I'm an idiot, was all I thought as my stomach throbbed.
I was an idiot for ditching Amanda.
I was an idiot for going to that party.
I was an idiot for kissing Haven.
I was an idiot for coming here.
I was an idiot for bringing Lauran.
I was an idiot for hitting Jason.
But most of all,
I was an idiot for thinking I could have Haven.
That was all I thought as my spine ached and I felt nauseous.
Soon my vision started spinning, but I stood up anyway.
I looked up around the room to see several girls and boys staring at our table.
I shook my head and sprinted off to the bathroom, hearing the faint noise of the words I
could make out were, "So she said, it's your birthday, are you feelin alright?"
Well she lied. It's not my birthday. And by looking at the mirror that stood in front of me, I did
not feel or look alright.
