I'm SO excited for you to read this chapter it is my favourite by far. You'll find out why.
Most of this chapter is from a fly on the wall/narrator's perspective
********
I woke up the next morning with the worst headache known to man. I stood up and nearly fell back into my bed, I felt so dizzy. My stomach started to churn and I ran to the bathroom to throw up.
I must’ve been in there for a good 10 minutes before exiting to see Lori in a ball on the floor in the middle of the room, clutching her stomach.
“I don’t feel good” she groaned
“Me neither” I said.
Today was the last day of Playlist live and we had a day of interviews to do. I walked over to my suitcase to get dressed.
I was so done with trying to make Luke notice me, I just wanted to fade away, I didn’t want his attention, or anyone's for that matter. I knew exactly what had happened last night and the reason I drank so much was so I could try and forget.
But all I could do was remember.
Like it was embedded in my brain as a permanent point in time.
I got dressed in what I used to dress myself in. T-shirts and ripped jeans. I put on my bracelets and pulled on a hat and converse. I grabbed my bag, took a long drink of water from the bottle in the mini fridge and left the hotel with Lori and the girls.
When we got to the venue I knew I had to be perkier, but it was so difficult with such a headache. When we were waiting to go into our first group interview I asked the girls what had happened after I left.
“Shit hit the fan” Sam laughed
“Really?” I asked and Vi nodded.
Turned out, when I left, Violet started screaming at everybody, this is how it went down.
*Narrator's perspective*
“I’m not here for this shit” finished Addison before running out of the restaurant. Lori stood up and followed her out quickly.
Everybody just sat there, completely gobsmacked about what had just happened.
“Who needs her” laughed Emily, “What a slutty little beg”
And that was when Sam had, had enough.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?!” she yelled, “how dare you speak to my best friend like that, how dare you speak about her like that!” Sam stood up, trying to tower above Emily and be intimidating
“Oh get over yourself, I’m not afraid of you” she stood and brushed Sam off, belittling her.
That’s when Violet stood up and smiled sweetly as if to imply that she knew Emily may not be afraid of Sam, but she was definitely afraid of Violet. Emily looked like she was about to back down, she second guessed herself. She knew she couldn’t sit down because that would just mean that Violet was right but she quite obviously was very uncomfortable.
“Oh, so you need your little friend to stick up for you now do you?” Emily tried to sound intimidating. And that’s when Ashton got involved.
“You need to stop.” He said to Emily, she looked much more scared now, “You’ve already pushed one of our best friends out. Sam’s right, who do you think you are? Walking in here, treating her like shit and laughing in her face.” Ashton looked at Luke who was trying hard not to get involved. “Luke aren’t you going to do something here? Your girlfriend just verbally attacked your best friend and you’re just going to sit there?”
Luke didn’t say anything
“Luke say something!” Calum stood also.
Still nothing from Luke.
“Luke for god’s sake!” Michael stood up and screamed. That was the first thing he had said all night. “Show some emotion, have some feelings. Why are you being so pathetic, why are you just sat there?! SHE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU, YOU FUCKING IDIOT AND ALL YOU DO IS SIT THERE AND REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER EXISTENCE”
“WELL MAYBE IF SHE WASN’T BEING THE BIGGEST SLUT ON EARTH I WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT HER” Luke stood and yelled.
Everybody was standing and when Luke said what he said, there was silence, nobody was expecting it.
“How could you say something like that?” Sam almost whispered. Everybody just stared at him.
“Well I think that answers that question” Emily smirked. Without thinking Violet turned and swung for Emily, punching her in the face. The noise when her fist connected with Emily’s face was that of a crash.
Emily stumbled, holding her face where Violet had hit her but it didn’t take her two seconds before she was back there holding back Violet’s hair and hitting her. Calum ran over and grabbed Emily, holding her back from Violet and screaming at her. Luke ran over and tried to pull Calum off of Emily when Calum’s hand slipped and he hit Luke accidentally.
Luke quickly hit him back and they started fighting. Since Calum had let go of Emily she had nobody holding her back and she punched and kicked and yelled at Violet until Violet was bleeding.
Everybody was in a frenzy. Michael and Ash were trying to break up Calum and Luke while Sam was trying to break up Emily and Violet, to no avail.
Eventually a bouncer came in from the back of the restaurant and pulled everyone apart before kicking them all out of the restaurant.
When they were all outside together, Violet was in Calum’s arms. She wasn’t afraid of Emily but she was definitely scared of the blood pouring from her nose. Ash and Sam were just tired of the arguing while Luke and Michael were still yelling at each other about Adi. Something about her deserving better than Luke.
“I’m done!” yelled Michael before walking over to Cal, Ash, Vi and Sam. They were about to leave before Sam turned and looked at Luke and Emily.
“I don’t ever want to talk to either of you ever again.” There were tears in her eyes. “Luke she cared about you. She trusted you. You were always ignoring her and that was the only way she could get a second glance. Calling her a slut? That’s just wrong.”
“She thought that changing herself,” Violet added, “She thought it would make you like her more, that maybe you would want to talk to her. Can you even begin to imagine how shitty she must feel about herself right now?”
They all turned and walked away, leaving Luke stood in the middle of the pavement with a devastated look on his face, Emily clinging to him like a limpet.
“It’s okay babe, you don’t need them” she whispered. Luke just stared at them from where he was stood, helpless.
“Why are you doing this to me?” he asked
“Why does anybody do anything Lukey” she smirked deviously, “Oh, and I never want you to speak to her again, no more contact, I’ve taken the liberty of deleting her number from your phone so it’s all already done.”
“I don’t want this”
“That’s too bad. You know what will happen if you go against what I ask don’t you?”
“Yes”
“We don’t want that information getting out do we?”
“No”
“Good”

A/N - I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG TO UPLOAD THIS CHAPTER AND IT'S FINALLY HERE.
The writing here is quite inconsistent and choppy because that is how the situation was, it was supposed to go by in a blur and people were doing things you didn't realize they were doing before if that makes sense????
What do you think Luke and Emily were talking about?
AND what do you think about Luke's feelings toward her NOW?
that will be all, i'm going to leave you wondering
peace
