Is it A Dream?

24

Ella's POV.

Pumping my legs I looked around. "Is this the way you always go when you're in LA?"

Lou nodded. "Zayn mostly comes with me but he's busy today."

I nodded as we jogged past the park by Starbucks.

After about 20 minutes of jogging we decided to start walking by the canal.

I looked around. "LA is pretty peaceful in the morning."

Lou scoffed. "Wait till around lunch. It gets really hectic."

I smiled. "So. Did you talk to El at all?"

Lou kicked the rocks in the dirt beneath us. Burying his hands in his pockets he got all silent.

"Lou?" I looked at him.

He kicked another rock. Taking a breath he bit his lower lip.

"Uh. I tried. She didn't respond to my texts though."

I frowned at the fact that she treats him like this. "I'm sorry Lou. You deserve more."

He looked up and raised his eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

I bit my lower lip. "I mean.. You deserve more than her. Someone that actually goes out with you even thought there's not some big party or event. Someone who responds to your texts when you need them. Someone who doesn't go all psycho on you for talking to girls. Which are like 99.9% of your fan base if I might add."

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, but that's how I think."

He remained silent for a moment. Looking around he stopped when he saw me looking at him.

"You really think so?"

I nodded smiling. "I know so."

His face grew into a smile. Looking forward he smirked.

"Last one to that Apple hut is a rotten egg!"

I smirked. "It's on Tommo!" I say, running off.

Simmy's POV.

Taking a bite of the pancake I just customized I smiled.

"Holy fuck Carter. This is some pancake!"

He smiled. "I can't take all the credit! Taylor and Nash helped me out!"

"It's true! We did!" Nash says walking out of the kitchen.

Smiling I got up and hugged both Nash and Taylor.

"Thank you for this awesome food guys!"

They all smiled.

Walking back to the table I hear a familiar voice.

"Dude it smells so good!"

Looking up I see that it's Matt.

His eyes met mine.

I smiled. "Hey Matt!"

Not even paying attention he went to Nash.

I frowned.

"Uhm are you finished Simmy?" Carter asks.

I looked up. "Huh? Oh yeah. I'm done."

He nodded taking my plate.

I see Matt walk into the living room as i followed him.

Sitting next to him on the sofa I looked down.

"I don't even get a hi?"

Matt shrugged.

"Hi." He says weakly.

I sniffled and leaned back.

He looked up at me and then back at the ground.

"Did I do something wrong?" I ask, wiping my eyes.

He took a breath. Still no answer.

I sighed and smiled. "Don't even bother Matt. I'm so used to this. People hating me for no reason."

Shaking my head I got up.

"Tell Carter I said bye." I say, walking out the door.

Running to the elevator I soon realized I left my phone on the sofa where Matt and I were sitting at.

Realizing too late I just went into the elevator.

Walking out of the main door lobby I look up as I hear thunder.

"Great." I mumbled as I felt rain drops on my head.

Taking my time walking home I replayed the moments with Matt again in my head.

What did I do wrong? Everything was going so well.

I thought to myself.

I laughed at myself. "I knew I wasn't the type of girl he would like. And to think I spent years just fantasizing that I was. Typical fangirl." I say to myself.

Making my way up the concrete stairs I unlocked the door and went straight for my room.

Changing out of my wet clothes I decide to watch a movie

As I made my way downstairs I went into living room.

Picking up the Xbox controller I turned the console on.

Using the D-Pad I went to Netflix.

Picking out the movie, World War Z I sat back and relaxed.

--------------------------

Matt POV.

"Carter! Aye Carter!" I called out as I went into the kitchen.

Carter looked up. "Yeah?"

"Simmy said bye." I responded.

I see his face get tensed up.

"She left?"

I grabbed an apple. "I think that's what it means when a person says goodbye."

Carter sighed. "Did she say why?"

I shook my head biting into the apple. "No."

Taking my apple to the living room I sat down on the sofa.

Feeling something hard I placed my hand behind my back and pulled something out.

As I pulled it out I realized that it was Simmy's phone.

"Hey Taylor where's Carter?" I asked.

"Uh he went to McDonald's I think." Taylor responded.

"Alright man thanks."

Realizing I had to give this to Simmy I grabbed the car keys and my jacket was out the door.

Ella's POV.

"I clearly won back there!" I exclaimed.

Lou shook his head laughing. "No! I did!"

I giggled. "Well we should go home now. It's starting to rain pretty hard."

Lou nodded.

"Wait! Can we get Starbucks first? We can get some for Simmy too!"

Lou chuckled. "You girls and your starbucks. C'mon lets go. I have my card to pay since none of us have cash."

I nodded. "Let's go!"
