Skylars PoV

It's been a week since Luke cheated on me. I've talked to everyone else except for him. Right now I'm currently at Michaels playing video games with him and Liam.

"Ashton just texted me saying we are going to the pier." Michael says looking at his phone. We all nod.
"Oh by the way Skylar, I feel like I should warn you that Luke is bringing a girl." I look at Michael.

"Really?" I ask. He nods sadly.

"Her name is Leah. She's the one he um... you know. She's also a total bitch and we all hate her."

"If she's a bitch then why is Luke dating her?" That doesn't make sense.

"I don't know. We think he's just trying to get back at you for 'dating Harry'. He's convinced you guys are dating because he saw you guys holding hands." I roll my eyes.

"He's so ridiculous honestly. I've told him many times that Harry is just my close friend."

"He's probably jealous that you spend so much time with us." Liam suggests. It's true. I have been spending a lot of time with 1d lately. Especially Liam.

"You should make him jealous." Michael says. I laugh.

"What do you mean?"

"Like make it seem like your dating Harry so he will get pissed."

"No way! Harry is like my brother and I could never do that." I say shaking my head in disgust.

"What if I tell you, I know someone who likes you." Liam asks sounding like a teenage white girl.

"What are you getting at Liam?" I ask.

"Well I'm just saying, I wouldn't mind being your boyfriend." He says with a suggesting tone. I knew he liked me but I didn't know he liked me this much. And to be honest. I kind of developed feelings for him too. I'm also pretty sure he knew that.

"Are you asking me out Liam Payne?" I say with a smirk.

"Why, yes I am Skylar King. Would you be my girlfriend?" He asks with a hopeful tone. I look over at Michael who is smiling like a dummy with excitement. I nod my head Yes.

" sure I'll be your girlfriend Liam."

"YES! I SHIPPED IT SO MUCH BUT EVERYONE WAS TELLING ME NO!" Michael yelled. He has told me before that he shipped me and Liam more than me and Luke.

"Come here." Liam says with his arms open. I walk into his embrace and he kisses my lips. We hear a click and I look at Michael who is already posting it on Instagram. I roll my eyes and sit down in between Liam's legs as we continue playing our games. About 4 minutes later the front or burst open revealing the rest of one direction and Ashton and Calum.

"YOU GUYS ARE DATING?" They all yell at the same time. We nod and everyone smiles and cheers.

"Who's dating?" My eyes widen and heart stops as I hear the familiar voice of Luke. Everyone's smiles fade and it goes silent.

"Liam and Skylar." Louis says quietly. Luke looks into the room and makes eye contact with me before nodding his head and walking away. Once he's gone everyone begins cheering again.

"Wait this isn't like fake or anything? Like Luke is with Leah to get Sky jealous." Niall says earning a slap on the side of the head by Ashton. I laugh and shake my head.

"No, we are actually dating. I'm VERY done with Luke." I say and it's true. I actually really do like Liam. And I am over Luke. I learned that since he broke my heart I shouldn't waste my time missing him.

"Okay, Well as happy as I am for you guys, we are leaving in half an hour so you three," Ashton says pointing to Michael, Liam and I , "need to get off your asses and get ready. We all laugh and everyone goes back to their apartment. Once I get there I quickly print the picture of Liam and I and place it in my shoebox. I've been doing this with every single picture we took since I came to America. I went to my bathroom and changed out of my pajamas and into a cropped nirvana t shirt and put on light washed denim shirt shorts along with my black low top converse. I let my natural curly blonde hair stay down freely. I just finished spouting on some light makeup when there was a light nick at my door.

"Just me." Liam say walking through the door. I walk out of the bathroom and smile at him before grabbing my phone.

"Ready?" I ask with a smile. He nods and puts out his hand. I gladly accept it and we walk out of my apartment. I lock the door before we walk down to the cars where everyone except Luke is. We walk over to the group and they smile at us.

"Awww. Look at the love birds." Calum Cooes making me blush we stood there for a few minutes before I noticed Michael roll his eyes. I follow his glare and see Luke with a girl I'm assuming is Leah.

"I fucking hate that girl." Michael says through gritted teeth.

"Same here."

"Guys Be Nice." I scold.

"Skylar off all people you should be mad the most."

"But I'm not. I'm happy, he's happy so be nice to the girl." I say as Luke and Leah approach us. Everyone ignores them and we go to our usual seats just now Liam is sitting next to me instead of Luke. We realize that Leah doesn't have a seat yet and I sigh when the only available seat is next to me.

"There's a seat back here." I say with a smile.

"Oh," is all she says and she sits next to me as the car Ashton begins driving. This used to be the fun car, so much for that.
"I don't think I met you yet. My names Leah, Luke's girlfriend." The Girl next to me says with a friendly smile. She doesn't seem like a bitch. I smile back.

"I'm Skylar." I say.

"How did you meet them?" She asks meaning the bands.

"I'm Ashton's sister. What about you?" I say pretending I don't already know.

"I met Luke, Calum, Ashton and Michael at a management party. I met everyone else in the hallway."I nod my head.

"Cool." I say. We don't talk for the rest of the car ride I just talk to Liam. I'm also kinda confused. Harry is sitting in front of me and Luke is next to him. Why didn't Harry just sit next to me and have Leah sit with Luke? Liam pointed it out to me.

"Harry, you should sit back here on the way home so Leah can sit with Luke." Liam says making Harry turn his head.

"Good idea." He says looking me straight in the eye with an angry glare. I laugh hysterically at him. He seriously can't stand Luke and he just feels so uncomfortable. I take a drink of my water so I can catch my breathe from laughing.
"But I don't want to be with you guys if your going to be making babies back there." Harry says turning back to look at us making me choke on my water and Ashton slam on the brakes and look back at us.

"No baby making while I'm here!" Ashton yells pointing at us.

"Jesus Harry you made me choke." I say coughing because of the water that filled my lungs.

"Wow, someone's getting all the guys." Luke mumbles under his breathe earning a glare from everyone in the car.

"Have something you want to say Hemmings," Liam says sitting up so he's closer to Luke.

"Not at all." Luke smiles. Leah looks to me.

"What was that about?" She whispers in my ear.

"If you don't know then it's not my place to tell you." I whisper back. I feel bad because she doesn't even that Luke is only dating her to make me jealous.

"I think I'm gonna go home in the other car. The sexual tension is making me uncomfortable." Niall says quietly from the front seat. Me too Niall. Me too.
