The Only Reason || 5 Seconds of Summer

Chapter Forty-One;

Ariella's P.O.V
We had just got back to our house and something felt like it was missing. They would have been in the air for about twenty minutes now. I already miss Luke more than ever.

"We should have a really old fashioned sleepover," Abbey suggested
"Your room or mine?"
"Yours?"
"Yeah okay, we can be all girly,"

She smiled and we walked over to my room and sat down on the bed.

"I have to be honest Ariella; I have really missed your company! You've been hanging out with Calum and Luke a lot lately,"
"I know, I'm sorry, we have the whole month now though,"
"I know, I'm sad they're gone," she said slowly
"Same,"

After a few minutes of unbearable silence I decided to speak.

"You know what we should do?"
"What?" She responded
"We should play truths, nothing off limits,"
"M'kay, you first," Abbey said

I thought about it for a few seconds

"I can ask about Michael right?"
"Yeah, I mean I need to get over him somehow, and talking seems like a good start,"
"Okay, my first question is: did you end up having sex with him?"
"No, I would have told you if I had anyways,"
"Good to know, your turn,"
"Hmm, favourite thing about your relationship with Luke?"
"This is such an unfair question, probably everything, but maybe the fact that we actually love each other,"
"Holy shit you guys are adorable it's maddening," I blushed at her compliment
"Same question," I said
"I don't really know? Probably the company, and the caring and just everything, I miss him so much,"
"I'm sorry," I said
"Don't say that, it has nothing to do with you! Uhm, what's kissing him like?"
"I don't really know how to explain, it's like perfect? Like I can't imagine kissing anyone else,"
"Stop being adorable oh my gosh,"
"Same question,"
"You really need to ask your own, but yeah, like I'm floating, and his lips are so plump ugh it's great,"
"What is this conversation?"
"It was your idea! Should we watch a movie or something?"
"Yeah okay, what movie?"
"I don't know," she responded

We set up my laptop with a random movie and fell asleep watching it.

~the next day

Ariella’s P.O.V

It was weird not waking up to an arm draping around me. I turned around and half expected Abbey to be there, but she wasn’t. I got out of the bed slightly shocked.

“Abbey?”

“I’m in here,” she said from her half of the room

“When did you move over there? I thought we were having an old fashioned sleepover?”

“I woke up at like 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep so I moved over here because I didn’t want to wake you up,”

“Have you slept at all?”

“Yeah, I slept for three hours before I woke up,”

“Why aren’t you sleeping? Are you okay?”

“Yeah, don’t worry about it,” I nodded and checked the time.

It was 10am and I wasn’t sure what to do. A part of me was thinking that I could go next door and hang out there; but then I remembered that they weren’t there. I sighed and sat back down on my bed.

“What did I ever do without them?” I said to myself I opened my laptop and checked all my social media.

“Hey Ariella, can I quickly borrow your computer?” Abbey asked

“You have your own,”

“But yours is on, please?”

“Fine,”

I handed her my computer and she turned it around so I couldn’t see what she was doing. She pressed the mute button and typed a few things before smiling. She un-muted the computer and turned it back around, showing Luke on the screen.
