"Anna, are you feeling okay?" My brother asked. That's the nth time he asked me that, this morning. Though I'm dumb to not even answer one.
"Anna!"
"Ow! what the fuck was that for?" I yelled. My head really hurt. He whacked the back of my head, that's like the second time a guy hit me. The first was Calum, shit that hurts.
"Again with the swearing. Why are you zoning out?" He asks, as he sat beside me, near the table.
Fucking Luke, he's the one that caused me to be like this. I hate him, No scratch that, I don't hate him, I hate what he did to me.
"I will repeat, WHY ARE YOU ZONING OUT?!"
"You don't have to yell!" He nearly broke my eardrums.
Silence wrapped the whole kitchen, as to what is it earlier. Breaking the silence was Mine and Ashton's laughter.
After brunch, Ash invited me to come to another one of their banding sessions. I declined too fast, making him wonder why.
"Grace is coming" He points out. I shook my head, saying 'no' again. I do not want to come, seeing as to what Luke did yesterday makes me want to vanish or even sink under the earth's crust. It's too embarrassing and awkward to even look at him for a split second.
"Why?" Ash whines like a little kid, just waiting for him to have a tantrum. I stifle a laugh trying to imagine Ash in his diapers.
"Okay.. but in case you change your mind. You can go follow" He smiles and closes the front door, stepping outside.
And again, I was left alone.
I hate being alone, it makes me think of things I shouldn't think about. Like what happened yesterday.
Luckily, my phone buzzed. Distracting me from thinking of what I was about to think about.
It's a text from Calum. Saying I should be there to listen to them play, because they have new songs and stuff. I text him that I'll be coming next time and I was sorry. On the other hand, I'm pretty excited to listen to them, though the fact that I didn't come makes me regret my decision. But then it'll also get awkward because of what Calum did (Chapter Thirteen)
~**~
"Thought so" said Calum when they took in the sight of me heading towards them. I saw Luke eyeing me, his blue eyes piercing through me, and I fight the urge to even take a glance at him.
"Hey" I greet them.
"Finally!" Grace said. "I thought you weren't gonna show up! I hate being the only girl" She said as she locked her arms around mine and pulled me to where she was standing earlier.
They started playing after a few minutes of their break, The songs were new, like what Calum had told me, it's all got cool beats and lyrics.
Can I call, wake you up on a Sunday? Late Night I think we need a get away.
Headlights, hold tight, turn the radio loud. (Turn the radio loud)
Let me know where to go and I'll get you there
Tell the truth and I'll show you how to dare
Flashlights, held tight, we can own this town
