Chapter 4

Luke

I honestly don't know why Ariel's at my house or how she knows where I live.

"I just." She walks into my house. "I just don't understand." She turns to me. "I don't understand!"

"What do you not understand?" I ask scratching the back of my neck.

"Your ex-girlfriend!"

"What I don't understand is why you're here and how you know where I live."

"I asked Calum to ask Michael."

I put my hands in my front pocket and she just glares at me. "What?"

"What about your ex-girlfriend! She's threatening me! She wants me to stay away from you. I'm so confused!"

"That's how Nicole is."

"Like a... Like a..." She begins.

"A bitch? Yes. She's like a bitch."

"I'm so sorry for just barging into your house like this. I just needed to talk to someone and Calum's busy with something, and I actually have no friends. And all I do is watch Netflix and read. I need to get a social life before I leave for college." SHe goes on.

"You remember the morning we were talking?" I ask.

"Yeah... Why?"

"I wasn't lying when you talk a lot."

She lets out a frustrated sigh and goes for the door. I grab her arm and she looks back at me.

"Yes?" She asks with this sparkle in her eye.

"Just stay and talk to me."

"St-stay?" She stutters. I let out a chuckle and bring her into my sitting room. "Are your parents home?" She asks.

"Nope." I say. "Want something to drink?" I ask getting up.

"I feel like I should be going."

"Why?"

"Because..." She mutters.

"Because why?"

"I feel uncomfortable around you."

I let out a laugh and look at her. "Why do I make you feel uncomfortable?"

"Remember the morning we were talking?" She asks.

I laugh. "Yeah."

"You ask a lot of questions."

"I know." I give her a slight half smile.

She smiles back and leans back in her chair. "Can I have a glass of water?" She asks.

"Sure."

I come a few minutes to see her on her phone scrolling down on something.

"So, you're saying you need a social life?" I ask her handing her the water.

"Yeah... Why?" She asks me raising an eyebrow.

"Let's take a picture." I say sitting next to her.

"Why?"

"Now look who's asking questions." I grab her phone and go to her camera roll.

I look at her and she is staring blankly at her glass.

She turns to me and begins to speak. "Are we friends Luke?"
