Bad Romance

2

We arrived at the hotel earlier this morning, I don't know why we all agreed to share one room, but we had made it work. All of us showered and got settled in and now everyone was sleeping except for me, the person who should be asleep is wide awake. Every time I try to fall asleep, I get anxiety, so sleeping would be the last thing I did right now.

Jax snores loudly next to me while Kai, Aria, and Aaron shared a bed. I was still on the fact that they didn't get their own room, instead they rather be packed in one bed. Angus was left on the floor, which pissed me off. I rolled my eyes as I got out the bed to walk over to him.

"Angus, do you wanna sleep in the bed?" I asked crouching down next to him, "Next to Jax? Nah." He rasps.

I sighed, "Well, come on we're going on a walk."

I slid on my slides and put on Jax's oversized security jacket over my shorts and tank top. We quietly made it out the room and to the lobby where we exited the hotel to who knows where. We walked side by side on the sidewalk where Angus pulled out a cigarette, having me light it for him. As I held up the lighter, I caught somebody out the corner of my eye across the street taking a picture or video of us, I flipped them off and shoved the lighter back in my pocket.

"Mae." Angus laughs, grabbing my hand with his free on, intertwining our fingers to prevent me.

We walked around for about fifteen minutes, and I was about to suggest that we turn around, but we stumbled across a beautiful meadow, a slight smile forming on my face as I let go of his hand and walked into the flowers.

I turned back towards Angus to see that he was now taking pictures of me, I was thrown off a bit at first but then I started to playfully pose. He walked over to me and grabbed my waist and pulled me beside him, which also took me by surprise. We took a couple of selfies and joked around some, before admiring the beautiful scenery around us.

Angus sparked up another cigarette and plopped down on the grass next to me, I sat down next to him as we continued to admire the view. There were some mountains in the distance, I've never seen anything so beautiful. Even though we did grow up here we never really got to see this part of Virginia.

We sat there in a comfortable silence for a while, enjoying each other's company. After a while he grabbed my hand and interlocked our fingers, sitting them on his leg. Which made me look away, flustered, part of me has always liked Angus. I know he's my best friend and it's wrong but it's something about his hazel eyes, short brown hair and beard that's he's been growing out over the years. I loved his personality too, he's actually a goofball when he isn't being an asshole and actually quite serious when he needs to be.

He's likes to love in the moment, and that's my favorite thing about him.

THREE YEARS AGO

Me, Jax, and Angus were at the skate park. I had just started like a week ago and I had no business being at that skate park performing tricks that I had no idea how to do. I stood at the top the ramp procrastinating if I should go down or not.

"You don't know what you're doing, get down." Jax yells at me, "Fuck it, just do it." Angus shrugged.

That's all I needed to hear. I pushed myself off and skated down, immediately falling and hitting the back of my head. Both Angus and Jax ran over to me. And while Jax was trying to see if I was alright Angus laughed his ass off, and so did I.

I ended up with a concussion.

"What you over there thinking about?" Angus looked over at me, "That time at the skatepark." I slightly laugh.
