The Runaway 2 - N.H.

[65] Printer

"Scar!" I yell lightly and knock on the door. I forgot my keys and now Cal and I are stuck outside.

The door swings open to reveal a sullen looking Scarlette, who immediately turns around and heads back through the apartment, without so much as a word.

"Scar," I whisper-yell to her but she pretends she doesn't hear me.

"Hey guys," Ash mumbles and Niall looks up and gives me a warm smile. I nod to Scar as a gesture to ask what's wrong. He shrugs and raises an eyebrow before looking over to Luke, who seems just as annoyed as Scar.

"We saved you guys lunch, if you're hungry?" Louis asks and I shake my head.

"I'm good, ah Scar?" I ask and she looks over to me. "I need help with... The printer, I need to print that thing off for that... Thing," I ask and nod to my room.

"The thing?" She asks and stares at me questionably. "Oh! The thing!" She yells when she realises what's happening and stands up. "Right, right," we make our way to my bedroom and I quickly shut the door.

"What's up, Scar?" I ask and we take a seat on my bed. She sighs deeply before putting her head in her hands.

"Ugh, it's Luke," she tells me and I roll my eyes.

"Obviously."

"I don't know he said he doesn't want to be 'exclusive' or some shit. All I can think about is what he's been doing the last month while I've been here all fucking alone with the option of... that red head," she groans and falls back onto my bed.

"Wait wait wait... so if you and Luke didn't... Have a thing, you'd have slept with Michael?"

"What? No! No! I didn't mean it like that I just... No!" She yells mortified and the door bursts open.

I burst out in laughter when I see Michael standing there wide eyed.

"Are you two okay?" He almost yells and Scar nods vigorously.

"Yep, we were just talking about-"

"The printer!" Scarlette yells and I bite back laughter.

"Okay... Come on, Bee. You need to eat," he says firmly and I roll me eyes.

"I'm not hungry," I whine and he walks over before grabbing my hands and pulling me up.

"I don't care you haven't been eating much lately, don't think I haven't noticed."

He drags me outside as I stomp on the floor like a child. I sit down at the dining table in front of a plate with salad and chicken.

"Ew," I mumble and slowly pick at the salad.

"Eat the chicken," Michael says hovering over me. I groan loudly before obeying.

"Okay, dad," I mock him and almost gag. I hate chicken. He smiles accomplished and takes a seat next to me. I look up and see Niall across from me, a grin spread across his soft face. "What?" I ask my mouth full.

He smiles and shakes his head a little before look down at his hands.

"I like your hair," Louis says, his voice low and scratchy.

"Thank you," I say and offer him a warm smile.

"Me too," Luke says smiling slightly. I stop smiling immediately and shake my head at him. He furrows his eyes brows and is about to say something when I cut him off.

"Hey Scarlette, can you get me the red sauce?" I ask her and she stares at me.

"You mean tomato sauce?" She asks and I smile.
