Amber's pov:

Calum laced his fingers with mine and pulled me back into the living room. It didn't feel romantic; it felt more supportive. It felt awkward, like I didn't belong there. Ash was at the very corner of the couch, seeming uneasy. Michael had his arms crossed and was on the single chair. No tv was on, so they were both sitting in silence. I frowned.

Calum sat next to Ash, who shifted uncomfortably. He patted the space next to him, probably an attempt to make me fee welcome. I flipped on the tv and sat down. It was on a video game I've never heard of.

"What the hell is A Fifa? " I ask, tilting my head. Michael let's out an exaggerated gasp and pretends to faint in his chair. Ash giggles softly in the corner, smiling. Calum looks at me with a shocked expression. Mouth open, wide eyes and all. I laugh. "What?" I ask.

Michael shakes his head and smiles. He shoves a controller into my hands.

"Just... no...you meed to experience Fifa. You have to like Fifa." Michael states, like it's a fact. Ash slightly raises his hand.

"Uh, I didn't really like Fifa... " he says with a laugh.

"Shhhhhut the fuck up. Just...no." Mikey yells, closing his eyes.

"Heyyy, don't curse!" Ash yells, giggling. I smile wide. All the awkwardness is gone, and everything seems normal.

"We gonna play or what?" Mikey asked, starting the game.

******************************

"You guys are way too good at this game." I say, frustrated.

Michael laughs."You just learned how to play today. Besides, we play this all the time." He says as he shoots a goal. I groan.

Calum nudges me with his shoulder.

"You having fun? He asks, not taking his eyes off the screen.

"Hell yeah! But it's not okay that I'm on my own team against you guys." I pout. Ash shrugs.

" All's fair in love and Fifa! " he yells as he kicks for a goal. He misses. "Crap! See this is why I don't like Fifa." I laugh.

"Hey, no cursing!" I yell, stealing the ball.

I kick and, for the first time this whole game, it goes in. "GOAL!" I yell, standing up. Right then, Luke walls in. His hair is kinda messy, and his clothes are sorta wrinkled. He yawns, and when he opens his eyes, they latch right onto me. He face changes, it falls flat. He takes his black lip ring in between his teeth. He looks upset, and really uncomfortable. Calum pauses the game and moves closer to me, wrapping a protective arm around my waist. Luke's face changes immediately. He looks like wants to shoot me and Calum in the face. His hands ball into fists and he turns around and storms away. We all sit in the awkward silence. I want to go after him, to ask him how He's doing, but that would be stupid. I did that to him.

"I don't really wanna play anymore." I say, setting my controller down. Calum opens his mouth the say something, but I get up and start walking before he does. I go to my room and grab my phone. Ignoring all texts and calls, I plug my headphones in and lay down. I start my music on full volume, and close my eyes, trying to think of anything but Luke.

Luke's pov:

After laying in my room for about a half hour, the anger started wearing off, and I felt guilty. I can't believe I blew up on her like that. I made such mess of things. She was probably scared out of her mind. But what other reaction is there when you find out your girlfriend kissed your best friend?

Wait. Ex-girlfriend.

I leaned back onto the bed. You really fucked up this time I think. I close my eyes and try to block away all the memories of her.

I guess I fell asleep. I woke up, feeling refreshed. I was still sorta sleepy, so I sat up and my first though was, where's Amber.

Reality hit me. Hard. I told her I was done with her, so now I'm  single. I invited her on the tour, so she's probably gone forever now. Instead of feeling relieved, or angry, all I feel is sad. I sent the girl I love away. No. Used to love.

Part of me wonders if she really did have an explanation. But the rational part says that there is no explanation. And, as much as I don't want it to be, that part is right. I'll just have to get over her.

When I walk down the hallway, I hear Fifa in the livingroom. Michael is always playing, usually alone because Calum and Ash aren't the biggest players. I walk into the doorway and yawn. When I open my eyes, the first thing I see is Amber. I don't know what to feel or say. I bite my lip ring, a habit I've  had ever since I got it. Calum pauses the game; they were all playing before I came in. He moves closer and wraps a arm around Amber's waist. I don't know if it was for protection or to show that she wasn't mine anymore,  but either way, it told me to back the FUCK off. I clenched my fists. Of course Calum would grab her right after I let her go.  I turned and walked away, straight into my room. I punched the bed.

Of course Calum would get something good out of this. He wouldn't even bother to think of how his 'best friend' is doing. I can't believe this. He stole my girlfriend. I went to the bed and laid on my back. I don't know what to do. I like her, but I don't. She likes Calum, but said she loved me.

I have  to talk to her.
