Michael drops my hand and stares at the girl. His face turns white as he looks at the girl. “Layla.”

Oh. I feel my heart beating into my chest. I might throw up. This is the girl!! This is the fucking girl. I can’t do this. I mentally run out of the Pizzeria but I feel my feet following Michael to the table where everyone sat.Layla stands up and runs to Michael and literally jumps into his arms. He swings her around once and has the happiest look on his face. “Hi.” He says shortly placing her down. “What are you doing here?!” He says sitting down next to her. Leaving me to sit down next to Luke.

 “Well, I decided I wanted to go to school closer to home! So here I am!” She beams. “Are you hungry?” Luke says to me, snapping me out of my thoughts. “Umm, not really. I guess I should eat though.” I mutter. “Here come with me, I’ll help you pick something out.” He offers.

 Me and Luke stand up and go to the front of the restaurant and find something for me to eat. I go with just spaghetti because I didn’t want to be too complicated, and Luke paid for food. Although, I insisted he shouldn’t.

 After about 10 minutes of waiting for my food it arrives. Me and Luke turn around to see only Michael and Layla at the table by themselves. What. I see Calum and Ashton sitting on the opposite side of the restaurant and our stuff has been moved. As we walk by Michael and Layla, I glance at them, but I see that he isn’t interested in looking elsewhere.

 Ouch.

 “Look at those two love birds, I know this missed each other.” Luke says and my heart drops to my ass and I just want to cry. Once we sit down I eat in silence. “Hey how did Layla know about lunch?” Ashton asks.

 “Oh I invited her! She texted me telling me that she just transferred, she knew we were all going to be together and she needed to see Mike.” As Calum explains I literally feel the food rising from my stomach. I need to keep it together. I just needed to go home, so I can be a wreck without anyone seeing.

 “Okay well I need to go, I need to get my schedule straightened out. It was nice seeing you guys! Oh I’m sorry! We were introduced.” Layla says while she walks over to the table Michael standing behind her.

 “Oh this is my exchange student, Grace.” He says coolly. Thats all I am?! A fucking exchange student to you. I mean I am, but still. I could have gotten a better introduction. “Oh nice to meet you, I’ll be seeing a lot of you then!” She turns around and shoots Michael a glance and she walks out.

 “Wow man, the way you guys look at each other its like nothing has changed.” Ashton says to Michael. “I didn’t realize how much I missed her.” He admits. I can’t take anymore of this, I’m going to throw up. I get my shit together and leave the restaurant. I hear my name being called by all the guys but that doesn’t stop me.

 I look back to see Luke running after me, but I run onto the bus and stare at him standing there confused.

 ~

 I finally get off the bus and get home. No ones car is in the driveway. Thank god. Things were going good for once and then everything gets flipped the fuck upside down. I’m getting really tired of this shit.

 First Michael says he cares about me, and then he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself… I should have known that he would of course pick Layla over me. He was in love with her. Hell, he even called me her once.

 I hope in the shower and blast some music to relieve myself from these thoughts. When I get out of the shower I call my mom and dad, although both of them don’t answer. The time zones are starting to fuck me over. I need to think about when is a good time for me to call them.
