Does He Know?

Jenna’s PoV:

 

We just landed in Madrid when I wake up, grabbing some breakfast and noticing that Emmy is not in her bunk.  I smile a little, happy that my two best mates have nice guys in their lives.  And things with Liam and I might just end up becoming serious.  Well, if I don’t mess it up.  But I really like him a lot.  When I finish eating I get a text from Calum, asking if I want to walk around the stadium with him.  I tell him I would after I get ready for the day, and double check that no one else would be coming, Michael in mind.  Once I shower and get dressed I text Calum that I am heading over stadium so we get there around the same time.  When I get there Calum is just walking up as well, a little ahead of me.

 

“Hey, great timing!” I yell at him.  He turns around giving me a big smile.  

 

“Jenna!” He shouts, waiting for me to catch up.  We both walk in and then just aimlessly begin to walk around, no goal in mind.  After a while of talking about random stuff Calum’s expression drops a little bit.  

 

“Hey, Jenna, can I ask you something?” he says.

 

“Yeah, of course, anything,” I reply, confused as to what this might be about.  

 

“Is there a reason that you stopped hanging around with the boys and I?  I mean, it started a little after we kissed while playing spin the bottle and I don’t want a stupid game to have this affect on us.  I miss hanging out with you.”  I begin to laugh, shaking my head.

 

“No, of course not Cal, kissing you did not ruin our friendship, don’t worry.”

 

“Okay, good,” he sighs.  “So, then, why haven’t you been hanging around us? You used to spend almost everyday on our bus, but then you just kinda… stopped.”  I pause, thinking whether or not I want to tell him about Michael and I, deciding that their friendship is not worth ruining.  And what if he chose him over me? I didn’t want to lose him either.  

 

“Well I guess I’ve been hanging around with One Direction a bit more these days.”

 

“Oh, that’s fine but don’t forget about us!”

 

“Alright, what say we get some real nice Spanish food tonight before the show,” I suggest.

 

“Sounds great!” He smiles.  “Can I invite the guys? They’ll want to come too!”

 

“Of course!” I instantly regret saying this.  I mean I want the boys to be there, I just don’t want Michael to be there.  But I guess we eventually have to work past this, I don’t want to lose him as a friend either.  Now that I have been getting closer to Liam I don’t feel so hurt, I mean I did want something that I guess Michael just couldn’t give me, so it’s not really his fault.  But now things were sort of awkward between us.  Why couldn’t we just talk about it like Harry and I did: nice, quick, and to the point?  Problem solved.  I stick around the stadium for a bit after we finish talking waiting for it to be time for my sound check while Calum goes and finds the tour manager to talk to about finding a place for dinner.  After sound check and lunch I just hang out in the bus while the other girls go to spend time with Zayn and Lou.  It takes a while but dinner time finally rolls around and I decide to get a little dressed up for the occasion.  Nothing much, just a dress, which is fancy for me.  I head on over to 5SOS’s bus and am greeted by four very handsome boys.  They got a bit dressy for tonight as well.
