A Year with IM5

Chapter 14

Elizabeth’s POV

“Bye guys, I’m going to hang out at the mall with Danielle. I love y’all to death but I need some girl time.”

“Okay bye” All the guys said not even looking up from their games.

I met Danielle at the mall. 

“It’s so nice to have some alone time.” I told her.

“I bet. Being in a house with no girls has to be tough.”

“Yeah” I say sipping on my milkshake.

“So I have a date with Wyatt and I need an outfit, help?”

“Of course girl, lets go to Charlotte Russe.”

We find the cutest pair of red high waisted shorts and a white crop top with the word dream on it. 

“You look stunning.” I say hugging her.

“Oh my gosh there’s Wyatt. Distract him while I change.”

“Ok hurry up.”

I run to the front of the store.

“Hey Wyatt!” I say.

“Hey Elizabeth, how have you been?”

“Excellent, you?”

“Good, What are you doing this Friday?”

“Umm... Probably hanging out with Cole, why?”

“If y’all want to come me and Danielle are going out to the fair”

“Sounds fun, I’ll ask him, he probably won’t mind.”

“Okay.”

Then Danielle walked up. She left with Wyatt and left me alone, or so I thought.

“Who was he?” Someone whispered into my ear.

I turned around and Cole was right behind me.

“He’s just a friend.”

“Is that all?”

“He’s Danielle’s boyfriend. I can’t believe you don’t trust me enough to let me go to the mall with a friend alone.”

“Babe, I just wanted to make sure-” I cut him off there.

“I don’t wanna hear it. If you can’t trust me enough to go to the mall 10 minutes away from the house what are you going to do when you go back on tour, or when I leave for college next year? If you can't trust me how is this going to work out? I don’t think we belong together.” I say and walk away before I can start crying. He just stood there in shock. I made it out to my truck and got in. I just started crying. Then, I texted Danielle. 

I hate to bother you but when ever you can can you come by my house. 

Yeah, what’s wrong

Cole

I’m on my way

I sit in my drive way until Danielle pulls up. We go and walk on the beach and I tell her everything that happened. She manages to cheer me up and convinces me to let her listen to my new cover of Somethin Bad by Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert.

We get inside the house and she goes up to my room to get my stereo ready to play the CD. I walk to the music room but here the guys in there, they had invited Dalton over. Then they started singing Superman. When Cole started singing you could tell he was hurt. I put my back on the wall and started sliding down until I was sitting on the floor. My knees pulled to my chest and my head burried into my hands. I dried my eyes walked into the room smiled at Dalton, grabbed my CD and left. I walked into my room and closed the door.
