"That's messed up dude," Michael said to me.
"I know," I said. Michael's been here all day hanging out with me, guilt tripping me is more like it. I haven't spoken to anybody but him since what happened with me and Aila, and Anna. I haven't seen my band together for two days. At least I know my best friend is still here for me.
"Well, I heard Anna is going home next week." He announced. That was too sudden.
I can't think of Anna right now. I thought of winning Aila back, but I figured it's much too impossible because she hates me. The two days I spent at home made me feel worse, not doing anything to get her back was worst. And I'm still battling whether I want to have her back or not. I mean I love her, at least I think I did. But what I had with Anna was different, way different from anything else.
I didn't say anything back to Michael, I just lie down and sank in my own thoughts. Calum hasn't spoken to me too, he didn't even try to and that stung a little.
"Calum liked her a lot" Michael said again.
"I know," Even though Calum liked her, there was this part of me that hoped she liked me better, Calum is my best friend, no amount of anything can change that but I feel as though now everything's changed, fast.
"I don't get it though, why didn't I see it coming? You liked Anna, all this time. But you were with someone else" He started. "You cheated on your girlfriend, that was the dumbest thing ever, I would know" Michael smiled a little.
"Whose side are you on Michael?" I snapped, he was pissing me off, I know what I did. He doesn't have to remind me 24/7.
"Honestly mate, you're seriously asking? I'm in no one's side. If anything I wouldn't be in anyone's side." He retorted. I should be angry with him, but I'm not. I'm angry with myself, every time I try to do something right it ends up the other way around and I hate it.
"All I'm saying is that, you messed up and you need to fix this. I'll help you because that's what friends do," He smiled
"That was the cheesiest thing you've ever said!" I laughed. "But thanks, I needed that"
"You're welcome" He grinned and with that he whacked me on the head,
The day went slow, me and Michael played FIFA. He won.
"Tell you what, since I won, you get to treat me a large peperoni pizza with a side of cheeseburgers," Michael said. I laughed.
"That's not necessary," I laughed.
"Yeah it is," Michael argued.
"Fine" I huffed, then stood up from my bed to grab my keys of the house. Nobody is home. My family went to dinner which I dodged just to stay here. I don't know, I just don't feel like going anywhere until Michael said so.
"Yay. Now let's go get your social life back" He joked. Which I tried to laugh at but failed to.
I hope he doesn't plan on bringing Grace. Not that I don't like her company but I just do not want to be a third wheel. Plus I know she's going to ramble on about how wrong what I've done is, which I clearly already know by now.
I didn't tell Michael what I was thinking, to not be rude.
"We'll take the bus" I tell him, and he frowns. I got my license two days ago, my dad insisted on me doing it. But I was so worked up about what happened between me and Aila but I miraculously passed.
On the way to pizza hut, a lot of people noticed us. I don't mind. But when a few fans came towards us I pull off my happy face. I don't want them to see my sad, so I pulled out a facade.
It lasted about a few minutes until Michael announced we head off. We said our good byes then walked to the place. Ordered ourselves pizza. No burgers since my cash isn't enough and Michael does not want to spend his, how unfair.
"What's the plan?" He asked as he ate his pizza. A lot of people are staring at us, I'm weirded out but I hope it doesn't show on the outside.
"What plan?" I asked him back. He looks at me like I am the stupidest person alive.
"Do you want to get her back or not?" He snapped.
"I don't know" I answer truthfully.
Michael shakes his head in disbelief. I know he just wants to help but right now he isn't doing much but just makes me feel bad; And I already do.
He changes the subject by talking about the new PS4 he got from his mom. And we end up staying at Pizza Hut a little more late than intended to.
"Luke." He called once before we go on separate ways. "As cheesy as it sounds, I'm here for you buddy. Always"
"Shut up" I tease him as I shove his arm.
"I love you bro," he gushes. "If girls don't work out, always remember we're Muke as fuck"
I laughed. For real this time. And it felt good. "You really need to stop swearing" I say to him.
"But I fucking love you Luke" he joked.
"Shut up. Someone might hear you and assume we are gay" I scold him but laugh along.
"We're not?" He laughs and I laugh harder. It was a quarter to eight pm when Michael and I went on our own houses.
As I walk to the front door of my house, there's still no lights they're still not home and I am glad. I do not want to deal with my family right now. All I want is to rest. But when I reach my bed room and lie on my soft comfortable bed. My mind goes to the Anna. Wondering what she's doing, I grab my phone in an attempt to call her but went against it. This is not right. Me and Aila are done but that does not make it right between Anna and I.
"Hello?" I am shocked. My finger must have slipped because I called Anna by accident. Fuck. "Luke?" A guy's voice said.
"Ash," I let out a breath that I did not know I was holding up until know. Relieved it was Anna's brother.
"What do you want Luke?" Ashton's voice is serious and distant. He sounds like he just woke up. But intends to sound like a snap. Is he mad at me?
"I.."
"Anna's not here. " he says. "Are you okay bro?" he asks and I am grateful he isn't mad at me, at least I think he isn't.
"Yes. I... I dialed by accident. Sorry for disturbing"
"No its okay. Gotta sleep though. See you at rehearsals next week" He said. And I can see hin smiling from where he is. It's too early to sleep but I dont question him. I couldnt bring myself to ask. Where is Anna though? He did not even tell me.
I hear noise coming fron downstairs. My family is here. I immediately wrap the comforter over me and close my eyes. I know my mom will come up here and ask if I want to eat. And I better sleep. Or pretend. I close my eyes, and nonchalantly unplugged the lamp. And as I drift off to somewhere I hear her voice in my head calling out to me.
