Ariella’s P.O.V

I was sitting in Luke’s embrace on the couch of his house when the front door opened and slammed.

“Ariella,” Michael said walking over to us

“Yeah?”

“I need to talk to you,”

“Talk,”

I sat in silence as Michael explained what Ashton had done. I held a small grudge to the fact that Michael had cheated on Abbey, but I let it go when I remembered what Ashton told Michael when he got back. Not long after he had explained what had happened Ashton walked through the door.

“Michael?” Ashton said

“What?” Michael answered bluntly

“I have to say sorry for what I did, but I had reason. I couldn’t see you guys love each other when you had betrayed her,”

“Ashton, I would have told her if you hadn’t told me she was all over you,”

“You’re lying,”

“I’m not lying,”

“I’m sorry, but she needed to know,”

“She didn’t! What you don’t know can’t hurt! What am I meant to do now? Pretend that nothing happened? Tour is in two days,”

“I don’t know what you’re meant to do!”

“What did she tell you when you left?”

“She said that I need to stop getting involved in your relationship, and that I need to make sure you and I stay friends,”

“What did you say back?”

“That we’d be fine,”

Michael turned around and went to his room; from the silence in the lounge you could hear the click of his door locking.

“Are you going to check on her?” Luke asked

“No, she will only want space; I will talk to her in the morning,”

“Do you want to stay the night here, or stay at your house?”

“I think we should stay at my place, in case she actually wants to talk,”

“Should I bring a movie?”

“Yes, we should watch Perks of Being a Wallflower,”

“Good idea, I think it’s in Calum’s room. I will be back in a minute,”

He took his arm from around me and went over to Calum’s room, returning after a few minutes with the DVD in his hand. We walked over to my house. I got out a blanket and started the DVD. Luke lay down and I joined him, covering us in the blanket. He put his arm around my waist and pulled me close.

~the next day

I woke up to my alarm. I was still on the couch with Luke’s arm engulfing me. I pushed his arm off of me and moved along to my bedroom. I quickly changed into my uniform and walked over to the divider. I tried to open it but it was locked; I went to get the key but she had taken that too.

Ariella: *Are you going to come out?*

Abbey: *no.*

Ariella: *school?*

Abbey: *no.*

Ariella: *Please?*

Abbey: *no.*

Abbey: *leave me alone, but if you could hand in my assessment for me that would be great*

Ariella: *I will hand it in because I love you, see you later*

I packed my school bag with everything I needed and made sure to get Abbey’s assignment.

“Luke?” I said trying to wake him up

“Yeah?” He said after a few minutes

“Can you drive me to school please?”

He nodded and sat up, rubbing his eyes and throwing his hand through his hair.

He stood up and we walked over to his car.

“Abbey isn’t going to school today?”

“No, and I can’t force her,”

“I will come and get you for lunch then, I can’t have you sitting on your own,”

“Thanks Luke,” I said as he started the car.
