Evolution [JLS Fanfic]

Part 4

"Ast!" I screamed, hugging him tight.

"Livi!" Ast laughed, hugging me.

"I missed you!" I grinned, holding onto him.

"Missed you too. How've you been?" Ast replied, his arms still around me.

"I've been good." I replied, pulling out of the hug. "I thought you'd moved away?"

"I did, but we moved back again." Ast laughed.

"Well, it's good to have you as my next door neighbour!" I laughed, walking to find the rest of our old school group with him.

"Ast!" Scott and AJ spoke, handshaking him.

"Alright boys!" Ast laughed. I picked my phone up, texting Georgie. [Change of situations. Fit boy hugging me. *le dead* :Dxxx] Georgies reply was quick. [OMG! No way! I'm jealous of you! Who is it?xxx] [Next door neighbour. BOOM!xxx] [Okay. I'm coming over! jks;)xxx] I replied to Georgie: [See you in a bit! haha:Dxxx] I carried on dancing until Rach and Ast tapped me on the shoulder.

"Come on then dancer, show us what you've learnt the past four years!" Ast joked, squeezing my shoulder.

"You don't want to see me dance." I smiled, shaking my head.

"Yeah, we do! You left us for four years. We need to know what you were doing all that time!" Rach giggled. [They want me to dance.] I text Georgie, hoping for an idea.

"Please Liv?" Ast smiled, opening his eyes wide, showing his puppy dog eyes. [Do one of our end of year play dances! You were the star of the play! You've got loads of solos! Impress the fit guy:Dxxx]

"I don't know." I said to Ast, replying to Georgie. [Ergh. I know but... What song would I do? The best ones were when you and Soph were my backing dancers!xxx]

"Liv, please. Put your phone away and dance?" Rach pleaded, fluttering her eye lashes. [Wherever you will go. The Charlene Soraia one in the middle where you were meant to be chasing the boy. &You're better than us. You don't need us. DO IT, show them dance school isn't all crap!xxxx] I read Georgies messages, knowing if they were here I'd do it. I replied. [Fine. But this is all your fault!xxx]

"Please Liv?" Ast repeated.

"Fine. I have an end of year dance, I'll do that." I replied. "Put Wherever You Will Go on by Charlene Soraia."

"Yeah! Thanks Livi!" Rach jumped, hugging me.

"It's got acting parts with a boy in it though, so I'll just have to pause for them bits." I spoke, as Rach sent Meg to put the song on.

"Nope, you're doing it all. Ast, get on that dance floor!" Rach giggled, as AJ wolf whistled.

The music came on as I danced. It's a good job I only danced this a few days ago, otherwise I would have forgotten the steps. I had turns and steps for the majority of the dance, but the end brings me next to the boy the song and play makes out I'm chasing. And this boy, turns out to be the boy that had lived next door to me for years, who I was, and still and really good friends with, and in the year I haven't seen him, has become incredibly fit. I danced up to Ast, holding his shoulder.

"I told you all, I really didn't want to this." I whispered in his ear, as I jumped putting my weight on his shoulder, and flipping off him before standing with my arm around him, and head down. The music ended on cue, as I looked up to see just about everyone watching. There was a pause, before everyone started clapping. Scott and AJ were whistling, making me laugh.

"To say you didn't wanna do that, it was pretty fricken' good!" Ast told me over all the cheering.

"You think?" I smiled, my head facing the floor.

"Liv, if I could dance like that, I'd have been jumping at the chance to show everyone!" Ast laughed, hugging me. I embraced the hug, looking up at Ast.

"You know, I really have missed my best mate!" I smiled.

"Yeah, me too." Ast smiled, turning me around to face everyone.

"That was amazing Livi! I forgive you for leaving us for 4 years after seeing that!" Rach giggled.

"I agree with that!" Meg laughed. I walked over to everyone, as they told me it was really good. I smiled, thanking everyone, looking at the clock. Nearly 6pm.

"Meg, AJ!" I called. They both came over to me, Meg looking worried. "Guys, what's happened with you two? You were like this." I crossed my fingers, showing them. No one spoke.

"I asked a question!" I laughed, looking at Meg.

"I've already told you. He's a stupid boy, thinking I'd do anything he wanted me to." Meg spoke, not once looking at AJ.

"What? No way! Not fair Meg. I didn't want anything, apart from a sleepover at mine, with loads of friends." AJ defended himself.

"No, you only asked me. You didn't ask Rach, or Scott." Meg replied bluntly.

"Nope, but I was going to. But you said no, and I didn't want it without you. I would have been bored. You were my world." AJ replied, looking at the floor. 

"Were?" I stepped in, as Meg looked up at AJ.

"Are." AJ corrected himself, as AJ looked into Megs eyes.

"Really?" Meg whispered.

"Really." AJ replied, picking up Megs hand. They both smiled at each other, as Rach, Scott and Ast came over.

"Ooh, what's happening here?" Rach giggled, looking at AJ hugging Meg.

"Oh, you know. Liv came home, solved the AJ-Meg problem, and showed everyone's dancing skills up in less than a day!" I laughed, pretending someone else was saying it.

"And I suppose you got me a fit boyfriend while you were at it?" Rach joked, laughing.

"Erm... SCOTT!" I laughed, pulling Scott next to Rach. "Ahh, perfect!" I joked, as Scott wriggled his arm around Rach.

"Whoa, mate. She was joking!" Rach laughed.

"It was worth the try." Scott winked, joking.

People soon started to leave, until it was just Rach, Scott, Ast and I left. Meg and AJ left together to talk about things.

"I suppose I better head home." Rach smiled, hugging me.

"Awh, okay then babes." I smiled back, hugging her.

"Yeah, I'll walk home with you Rach." Scott replied. They lived a few doors down from each other, so usually walked home together.

"Alright then. Cya Liv!" Rach called, opening the door, and stepping out with Scott. I walked into the hall, Ast following. CJ walked into the living room, a bin bag in his hand.

"I'm gonna tidy this up." He said, turning up the music.

"Alright." I replied, resting my hand on the banister.

"You think Scott likes Rach?" Aston asked me.

"Yeah, but I'm not so sure Rach likes him." I replied.

"I think she might you know." Ast replied. "Anyway, better go."

"Alright. I'll ring you tomorrow. We could meet up and go to the park or something?" I asked Ast, knowing he'd be up for it.

"Yeah, sounds good. Oh, I changed my number last week. Here." Ast handed me some paper with his new number on it, opening the door. "I'll see you tomorrow." Ast grinned, stepping out the door.

"Yeah, will do." I smiled, closing the door. I walked into the living room, helping CJ tidy up. My phone buzzed in my pocket. Georgie again. [Did it work?&What's his name?xxx] [OMG, totally! More hugs;) And Aston.. Ast!;Dxxx] I replied straight away, putting my phone back in my pocket. Georgie replied instantly. [YEAH, told you you didn't need us;) I need to meet him! I'm searching your fb for him!:')xxx] I smiled, replying: [haha, &okay!xxx] I laughed, putting my phone back into my pocket, tiding up. I was feeling really tired strangely, but I  felt good having my friends around me again.
