In Time ≫ Taylor Caniff

Chapter 13

I woke to the sounds of people yelling. "I know what I fucking saw Brooke!" Matt yells. "Well what you saw was wrong because I wasn't flirting with him!" She yells back. "You know what?! I'm done. I can't believe I ever liked you.." Matt said. A door slammed shut and Brooke came running into my room, sobbing. "No, baby" I say and run to her. She sobs in my shoulder. Once she calmed down, she started to tell me what happened.

"We were at Starbucks and the guy at the counter wouldn't stop flirting with me. I told him I wasn't interested but he just wouldn't stop. After we got our drinks, he wrote his number on the cup. I obviously took the cup because I needed my Starbucks, and Matt freaked out and made a big scene in front of everyone." She says, tears streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry this happened." I say and hug her.

"Let's have a girls day!" I say happily. "Okay" she says with a smile.

Brooke changed into a black and white floral crop top, black high waisted skirt, and a cream colored cardigan over it. She had on black flats and her hair was curled to perfection. She was also wearing the gold necklace I got for her, for her birthday last year.

I changed into a grey cropped tank top with a black heart in the middle, ripped jean shorts, and my black Jordans.

We were in the car and Brooke was playing with my phone. She was taking selfies at extreamely wierd angles and posting them on my snapchat story.

We get to the mall and walk in to Forever 21, and we see someone we don't expect. "Hey Madison!" Brooke happily exclaims. I fake smiled as she made her way over to us. Ugh, Madison Beer. The girl who told me to kill myself in highschool. "Hey Brooke!" She says with a smile. "Skylar." She greets me. "Hi.." I say under my breath.

Brooke and Madison were hanging out and I was just trailing behind them. Brooke never knew Madison told me to kill myself. I wouldn't tell her. They were talking about something I wasn't paying attention too. "Guys." I say. They don't even bother to turn around. I sigh and walk away. I walk into Hot Topic and I run into someone. "Oh my god I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I look up and see the face I've been fangirling about for years. "Yeah. I'm fine." I reply with a smile. "I'm Luke." He says and sticks out his hand. I laugh, "I'm Skylar." "Nice to meet you, Skylar." He says with a small laugh. The laugh I've been dieing to hear in person for years.

I spent the rest of the day walking around the mall with Luke. He told me about his tour and how his bandmastes are. I told him about my tour and how we always get mobbed with fans everywhere we go. Luke was a really nice person.

"Sorry Skylar but I have to go. I'm recording with Calum today." He says. "It's okay." I say with a smile. He hands me his phone and I hand him mine. After we exchange numbers, we hug and he walks away. I smile and walk outside, to where the car was suppost to be. It wasn't there. "What the fuck?" I ask myself. Brooke must have taken it. I sigh and look at my phone. I decide to call Shawn. "Hey Shawn. Uh.. Can you pick me up?" I ask. "Where's Brooke?" He asks. "Well she saw her friend and she walked off with her and took the car." I say. "Okay I'll be right there. Love you," "Love you too." I smile.

About five minutes later, Shawn pulls up. I get in and smile at him.

-At The Hotel-

"Thanks for taking the car, Brooke" I smile at her sarcastically. She just rolls her eyes. Everyone was in their own world. Brooke and Madison, Carter and Cameron, Matt and Taylor, Jack G with Hayes, Jack J and Aaron. Shawn was outside, on the phone.

I sigh and look at my phone.

It was a text from Luke.
