Fine but this better be something important

I was awake anyway due to editing one of my university assessments that were due in a couple of day's but due to work and my internship, I needed to have it submitted by the morning.

I really was not sure what Luke wanted to talk about but there were so many unanswered questions between us, leaving me wanting answers.

Not ten minutes later he was at my front door, in a full black suit, as he and the boys had some important dinner that they were required to attend tonight. I knew that because Ashton and Isla came over for dinner yesterday and Ashton would not stop complaining about it.

'Hey, can I please come in?' he asked and I nodded as I opened the door for him as he walked inside, following me into the living room.

'How did you get my address?' I asked as I sat down on the cream couch, Luke sitting down at the opposite end of the couch, both of us being careful to keep our distance.

'Ashton gave it to me.'

'Oh yeah right, makes sense.'

Things were tense and awkward, but more than usual which was probably due to the screaming match we had in my bedroom a couple of weeks ago.

'What would have happened if I didn't stop talking to you Sienna?' Luke blurted out and I was taken by surprise at how forward he was being.

'You started dating Eliza way before that, you two just didn't go public until after Jordan passed away.'

'Who told you?' Luke asked, his face going white and I just rolled my eyes, knowing that he did not care about me, he was only looking out for himself.

'You are literally in a band with my brother, just because I stopped being friends with you doesn't mean I stopped being friends with anybody else.'

'Right yeah okay my bad.'

'Back to your question, I really don't know what would have happened. Guess we will never find out,' I said bluntly, my heart hurt at the way Luke and I were treating each other, considering once upon a time we would have done anything for each other.

'I didn't mean to stop talking to you Sienna, it just kind of happened,' he sighed and I shook my head, as that was not an excuse in my eyes.

'Being in a band is no excuse, all the other boys made time and effort to keep in contact with me, so why couldn't you?' I asked, shaking my head in disbelief that after two years, we were finally having this conversation, one that should have happened a long time ago.
