"Luke, you've been hiding for nearly a week, man! It's time for you to leave the house again!"

I shake my head and Harry sighs. "Listen, either you get your ass into Josh's car by yourself or we'll force you into it", he tells me and I shut the door in reply.

"Fuck you!", I hear him shout but I don't care that he's mad at me. "Open the damn door!"

I don't wanna go outside. Especially not to one of their stupid parties, I just wanna sleep. Sometimes when I sleep I forget about Ariana - sometimes.

"Luke, open the door!", I hear Josh shout.

"You can't hide forever!", another voice joins in, Calum.

"Go away!", I shout back, my voice hoarse from not talking in days.

"You won't get over her just by hiding in your room!", Harry shouts and I open the door quickly.

"True, I won't get over her but I neither will get over her just by going out", I snap and all of them raise their hands in defeat.

"Calm down", Josh says. "We're just trying to help."

"Well, you're not doing a good job at that", I say and look at my feet.

"We've only been here for two minutes, that's probably why", Calum replies. "Now put on some normal cloths and get in the fucking car before we drag you out of your house."

"I don't wanna go to the party", I protest and they all laugh. "Guess you don't have a choice", Harry grins and enters the house.

"Of course you can come in", I say sarcastically and the others follow him.

"Don't act like it's our fault that you fucked up", Josh furrows his eyebrows. "Now get out of this, smells like you haven't changed in months."

"I've only been in here for a few days", I roll my eyes. "I'm surprised you even know how long it's been", Harry mocks me and I sigh.

"It's not like I didn't get a hundred texts by you guys, telling me how long I haven't been to school", I challenge.

"Just get dressed now", Calum growls and I finally go back to my room.

I can't decide whether to lock myself up and go back to sleep or actually get dressed.

A few minutes later I find myself in Josh's car. Great.

"You need a drink", Josh says from the driver's seat. "Or a few."

"I need Ariana", I mumble and the others sigh in union.

"I hate you all", I tell them and cross my arms in front of my chest, looking out of the window.

"The feeling's mutual", Calum laughs. "This isn't funny", I mutter and lean my head against the window.

"I didn't know people can actually be that attached to each other, I thought this only happens in movies", Harry says quietly, I don't think I was supposed to hear that.

"He's literally obsessed over her. I'm surprised he didn't jump in front of a train so far."

That's actually a good idea.
