A/N: What I forgot to say in the Authors Note was that I don't want Michael to sound bad and like a horrible person but that's how my imagination made him in this so don't blame me. Blame my imagination :) The song for this chapter is Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne and it's technically what's going through Marcellas brain? If that makes sence and I'm sorry for the mis-spelled words :p
/ 2 weeks later /
I stayed in my room all day just staring out into the rainy day. Just thinking of how it had been a while since the last time is had stormed.. Well that was obviously not what I was thinking about, what girl that has just mentally gotten her heart broken because she can't help that she's madly in love with her bestfriend that's clearly in love (or is slowly getting there) with someone else and rubbed it in her face the week after they had finished a promise they had made a few years ago, would be thinking about the last time it stormed? There's a question for you. But what I really was thinking as I pulled my dark grey to-long-sleeved sweater tighter around me was how mother nature knew how I was feeling and how Michael could've brought a stranger into my house without even introducing her to me much less the other boys and then leaving without even saying bye. I just stared at the raindrops on my window that made it look like I was staring onto my drive-way and noticed a black image pull into it, my eyeballs did a little quick zoom in/out thing so I could see what it was and my instinct it was Lukes car so I quickly got down from my window sill seat and ran down the stairs, swung open the front door and attacked him with a hug when he had just gotten on the front porch. "Luke, you're all wet. Come inside, it's pouring out" I almost yelled since the rain was pouring so hard but he didn't move when I motioned for him to come in "what? What's wrong?" I asked and he looked at his car swiftly then back at me. I looked at his car and getting out of it was no other than my best friend and the girl who took him away from me, I looked back at Luke "seriously?!" I yelled then tried to run back inside but he caught my arm "at least meet her, even if she is a spoiled bitch, just please. It would make Michael happy and plus you haven't done anything for the past two weeks" He pleaded to me with desperate eyes "fine, but please let go of me" I said and he let go. I wrapped my sweater around me again as it had came unwrapped while I was running downstairs and went inside with Luke behind me and the two lovebirds, I shivered at the thought, walked in behind him.
We all sat in the livingroom, Michael and the girl on the couch and Luke and I on the love seat close to it. "So Marcella, this is Steffany. Steffany, this is Marcella" I shivered as Michael said my name. I was a polite person so to show Luke I would behave myself I reached over the table to shake Steffanys hand, she accepted my hand shake to prove to Michael that she would behave herself, I could tell because when both of our hands touched we smiled but then we gave each other death glares because we figured neither of the boys were looking. We quickly pulled away from each other and put on our fake smiles while glaring at each other every now and then, one time I did it and Luke elbowed me and I looked at him and he gave me a 'stop and behave yourself' look, I just rolled my eyes and looked back at Michael who was (NOT) suprisingly being lovey dovey with Steffany.. I mentally gaged. I stood up after about sitting there for an hour and a half and the rain calmed down then sighed "well, I have loads to do around this house so if y'all dont mind I'd like for y'all to leave so I can get what I need done" I was honestly tired of getting death looks from Steffany and wanted her the hell out of my house that I hadn't invited her in. Only to get my leg nudged by Luke so I looked down at him which he was giving me a 'what the hell are you doing?' look but before I could do anything Steffany stood up and opened her mouth "I think that's a wonderful idea. We don't wanna be in your way now do we Michael?" she asked as she looked down at Michael who looked back up at her with a confused look "uh, ye-yeah, we should uh leave" he quickly looked at me then stood up as he looked down at the floor still unsure of what he was doing. "Well I guess I have to go to, I am their ride" Luke said infortunitly as he stood up and gave me a hug. I turned around and hoped that Michael would want to give me a hug to but was only met by Steffanys deadly gaze as she was literally dragging Michael out of my house. "Why is he letting her do this to him?" I whispered to Luke "I don't know but I'm starting to not like it" he whispered back as the front door closed "well love, I gotta go. Please try not to stay stuck inside of the house all the time" Luke said "fine, I promise" he smiled and hugged me again then walked to the front door "you better keep that promise" he laughed and walked out of the door. I ran back upstairs and sat down on the window sill as I looked out of the window again and noticed that Luke was just now getting in the drivers seat. He looked up and mouthed 'you better' before getting into the car, shutting the door, pulling out of the drive-way then leaving. I sighed and wondered what I would be doing right now or where I would be if I knew all of this was bound to happen one day and if I didn't have Luke, Calum, and Ashton in my life as my best friend since childhood was slipping away.
