Our 5 seconds of summer // l.h

Chapter 20

Ashton POV:

I started to think maybe I should have knocked first because walking through Alanna's door and seeing her on her couch curled up into a ball next to Hannah looking like she fell 200 stories and was crushed by a pack of elefants did not make me feel any better about this whole situation. With the two songs Luke wrote we had all been a little concered with publishing them, they were really good and all, it's just that it would start to get a lot of talk and none of us had imagined that he would have spoken up at the interview in fact we were all considering if he was even going to go.

The minute Alanna saw me you could see her eyes fill with water and then she was wrapped in my arms crying into my shoulder. Hannah looked franctic, her hair witch was usually styled to perfection was a complete mess, she didn't have any of her make up on, and from the looks of the place i'd say she had been staying here for the last few days.

I've never been very good at comforting people and I hadn't blamed anyone for what happened, Luke knew what he did was wrong and just by glancing at him wrecked state you could tell he regretted it terribly; but holding Alanna's small body in my arms as she cried her heart out just made me want to punch him. Hannah's concerned expression changed suddenly when what I assume was Alanna's phone start to vibrate, she rolled her eyes and turned it to me so I could see. next to the phone that said 'Lucas <3 '  and a picture of them kissing, Hannah was holding up a piece of paper that she scribbled the number 100+ on it. I sighed as Alanna started to calm down but didn't move, I reached over for the phone.

I waited a sec before answering but didn't say anything. "Alanna? Alanna please just please talk to me, i know I hurt you but please I-I just need to explain..." 

I wasn't sure what to say, I have never heard his voice like that, he sounded utterly broken. "Hey it's uh it's Ash" i said slowly not sure how he would respond.

there was a small pause on the other end of the phone and then a small sniff, was he crying? "Hey, look can I just please talk to her?" His regular voice was back expect it sounded as if he has been sick with Ebola for 15 years. 

"I don't think thats such a good idea" I wanted them to talk it out and maybe if there was the slightest chance that this was a misunderstanding that it would be sorted out. I looked over at Alanna who had sat up and was staring at the couch.

"can you guys get rid of this couch please?" Alanna said quietly and stood up. from the intake of breath on the other end of the phone my guess is that Luke could hear her and this was the first time he had heard her voice in over 2 weeks.

Hannah looked confused as she watched her get up "um why? it's a nice couch" she said picking at a pillow with stringy things on it.

Alanna crossed her arms over her chest protectively before she answered Hannah's question "it's were he took my virginitty" she said stubbornly and Hannah and I both jumped up at the same time.

"and you let me sleep it on?!" Hannah said utterly disgusted.

"fuck" I wasn't sure who said it until I realized it was Luke who could still hear everything, now i definitely didn't know what to tell her, You would think he had a little more class then to do it on a couch.

I told him that i had to go but i'd be home in a little while and then I hung up, Alanna on the other hand had decided to go take a shower witch pleased Hannah a lot. But she was still going on and on about had she had been sleeping on that couch for almost 2 weeks and Alanna hadn't said anything, even though it shouldn't have it made me laugh a little.

Alanna' POV:

Even though i still felt like crap the shower definitly made me feel a little better, in fact i was getting dressed in some skinny jeans, a white flowy shirt and some nude heels. Hannah had decided to do my make up and she went to get dressed shortly after. I was being dragged to Starbucks with Hannah Ashton and Michael, Ash said Calum would have come but he was trying to get Luke out of his room and maybe go for a drive or something.

"wooow" Mikey said as I walked out of my room actually decent for the first time in the last few weeks. I gave him a small smile witch wasn't completely forced. I'll admit it was nice to be dressed and going out with some friends again, it made me feel better also I did miss the sun light of LA a little.

"Okay okay lets go people" Hannah said rushing ahead of me dressed in a pink sun dress and some flip flops. She grabbed my hand and started pulling me to the door causing me to almost trip and fall on my face.

We were at starbucks in what felt like only a few minutes witch was weird since it was across town from were I lived. We were all seated in the back corner booth witch was apparently the boys' usual spot whenever they came. Ashton was picking at a muffin and Hannah was flipping through a magazine when a little girl walked over to us, she looked about 12 or 13.

"um excuse me aren't you guys 5sos?" She asked very nervously looking at Ash and Mike. I couldn't help but smile, it was really cute how nervous she was.

"last time i checked" Michael said turning to face her with a warm friendly smile.

The little girl's face turned a light red color as she asked to get a picture with each of them witch they gladly accepted and also signed a little notebook. But before she walked awa she turned and looked at me for a moment with a confused expression.

"aren't you Alanna? Luke's girlfriend?" She asked witch sent a stab to my heart, I couldn't blame her no matter how angry it made me that she ruined my mood.

"Um actually i'm his ex girlfriend... we broke up" I said trying not to be to upset at the moment.

she nodded "i'm sorry I didn't know, but did you break up with him?

"actually yeah I'd say i did" she giggled at that witch made me kinda curious "why do you ask?"

"cause Luke isn't really my favorite in fact he's kinda annoying so good job" I couldn't help but laugh as everyone else cracked up too. my terrible mood had turned okay then to bad and then back to okay again. My day has been a little odd consideiring my giant mood swings that kept coming and going all in the same day. But in the end I was feeling better and I think i'm getting out of my depression faze that lasted up to 2 weeks.
