"Hello?"
"Hey Luke."
"Scarlett! Hey, how's it going?"
"Things could be better I guess."
"Awe tell me what's wrong. I'm here."
"Did you know about Ariana and Calum?" I asked deciding to be straight forward. I heard him sigh on the other line.
"Yeah."
"Its wrong in so many ways!" I said.
"That's what I said! He has a girlfriend. I mean she's a bitch and all but no one deserves to be cheated on. If he isn't happy with that Holly girl then he should've just broken up with her instead of leading her on. And I don't understand how Ariana could deal with Calum cheating on a girl with her. I'm not hating on the two but what makes Ariana think that Calum won't cheat on her? If he's doing it to Holly with her, how does she know he's not doing the same thing but she's being cheated on." Luke said.
"My thoughts exactly. I love the both of them but they're being stupid. And what about Holly? She's a bitch but everyone has feelings. I want to tell her so bad but that's not my place to say anything." I said. Luke hummed into the phone agreeing with me.
"That felt so good to get of my chest." Like said laughing afterward.
"Yeah same here." It was silent and I wanted to ask him about Max. So I did. "You said Max is your cousin?"
"Yeah! We're really close." I furrowed my eyebrows at that. If they were so close, does that mean he knows about what he did to me? "Why are you asking?"
"I dated him." I'm just gonna be straightforward through this whole conversation. Things get done quicker this way.
"Really? He's never told me about you." Of course not.
"Yeah well it didn't end really well." I said.
"How long ago?"
"Um like a year ago." I said.
"Wait, you're her." He said.
"Uh what?"
"You're the girl who he uh, who he hurt." So he did tell him about me.
"Y-Yeah. That's me."
"Fuck, I can't believe I didn't recognize you! I was always over at his house when you were there but I never came out of my room there. I'd always blast my music when I'd here your voice because I didn't want to invade his privacy. Fuck, I knew something was wrong. I took you to the hospital one time. This is all fucked up. Wait did he take you home? Shit." Luke explained.
