Remember

Chapter 3🚧

Corbyn subtly nudges Jonah as he shakes up to a peppy state. Jonah looks at Bailey and smiles. They both start to approach us getting side glances from the group.

"What are you weirdos doing here?" Bailey asks standing up and hugging Jonah. I give Corbyn a small smile as he sits next to me.

"We came here to eat but we didn't know you cuties would be here." Jonah says sitting down with Bailey. I give a little cue of reassurance to Bailey as she lets it slide because Jonah is here too.

"Babe do you want to come to party with us tonight? I'll wear my new clubbing dress." She says shoulder nudging him. He goes red and rapidly nods in response.

"We will talk there," He says leaning over to whisper in my ear. I slightly nod back at him trying not to let Bailey in on it. Then if in sync the two boys rest their arm over our shoulders with their cute smiles of victory.

"What's this?" A snarky voice says interrupting our moment by making us shift our attention. I firstly notice Jack and Zach then Aspen gripping their waists as if to tell us they are hers, but they don't seem to mind.

"Nothing," I say skidding down meeting my body with the barrier to go further. She laughs a bit.

"Daniel is at the table, let's go," Jack says almost robotically. She smirks not leaving.

"Ya Jack, that's probably for the best too." I say finally boiling over the point of no return. I quickly lace my hand with Corbyns and moves it to the top of the table. This makes Jonah and Bailey do the same, Aspen to be pissed, and Corbyn to be happy.

Then Aspen quickly takes her hand off of Jacks waist and rips my hand off of Corbyns warm grip. She squeezes it enough to make me wince under the pressure but I try to keep a straight face.

"I think it's better if they come with us, don't you think?" She says with grit as she digs her nails under my skin. I rip my arm back causing my skin to rip underneath her fingers. She looks shocked that I didn't comply with her little request.

She suddenly storms away followed by the two boys. She swings herself next to Daniel and starts to make out with him. The two don't think a thing about it and slide into the booth. A few tears leave my eyes as I hold my bleeding arm. Corbyn quickly assesses my arm as he wraps a napkin  around it and pulling me into a hug as tears fall from my eyes unwillingly.

"Ok let's go get you something to help with your arm," Corbyn whispers pulling me out of the booth slowly. I nod as he walks me to the restroom but I can feel the whole restaurants eyes on me.

"Corbyn what just happened?" I question softly.

"I don't know but we are going to get your arm cleaned up," he says locking the door to the restroom behind us. He grabs a brown paper towel and quickly soaks it in the sink water.

"Corbyn it's going to sting we should just go back to the bus and get it cleaned with good supplies," I say bringing my arm back into my chest not caring about the blood that spreads on my shirt.

"Alex give me your arm and I promise it won't hurt and I won't break this promise," he says staring at me with his sunflower eyes that took me back to all those years ago where we were friends. I stick out my arm cautiously watching it eating for my misplaced trust. He hesitates problem thinking of how he just lost his promise again.

"I was scared of dentist and the dark, I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations," he sings making it a beautiful soothing melody. I watch him as he sings it in deep concentration trying to distract the pain and it works. He finishes the rest of the song as he finishes stopping the bleeding.

"Did I keep my promise?" He says with a small smile.

"Yes you did Besson; for the first time in 2 years." I say jokingly. He scoffs and throws away the towel before assessing the situation.

"I'll get Bailey to get you a change of cloths and ready for the club, then me and Jonah will order you guys something. Sound good?" He asks waking to the door. I nod as he walks out with a smile.

Olivia walks in the restroom with a few dresses that we bought earlier and her brand new makeup bags.

"Ready?" She asks setting down the items.

"Yes," I say back walking up to the clothing.

"So these are your options of dresses and I told the boys we will go to a fast food place before because we really need to get a move on." I nod smiling taking my heap of cloths into one of the stalls.

So there's three different dresses in the pile that I recognize because I tried them on earlier today. The first one is a short simple red dress with spaghetti straps. Then the nest two are small little trapped dresses showing a lot of skin. I come to the decision of the 2nd one because of the low v neck and it's silky fall design.

I walk out of the stall and start removing my basic makeup so Bailey can help me with mine. She struts our in a red romper dress with a cute red choker.

"Oh my god, work it girlfriend." She says to me as I make a pose in my dress. I smile as she pretends to take a bunch of pictures and tries to get better angles.

"You look so good," I say in aw. She flips her hair as she fumbles around grabbing our pares of shoes.

"Your ready for makeup?" She says opening her kit.

"Fix me up please," she nods and begins her work.

A few minutes later she finishes her speed work on me but it looks like she spent hours on it. I strap on my shoes and my bracelet and walk out because Bailey has to get her makeup perfect for Jonah. The first eyes to dart to me is Aspens with clear anger then the other boys seated at her table that seem to be laughing at one of their many jokes.

When I get to the table Corbyn and my eyes meet and he immediately looks down and blushes.

"What does this dress make my butt look big?" I tease twisting and making a pose. Jonah laughs at him as I take a seat nest to Corbyn.

"What club are we going to anyway?" Jonah asks as Corbyn peeps up from his attempts to hide his red face.

"The Pulse nightclub," I say as the two boys kind of stop fidgeting.

"Really? How did you get an RSVP to the biggest club without being caught as a minor," Corbyn asks.

"Bailey has her ways, and I just stopped asking." I laugh.

"Well Corbyn ordered a Uber but told them well tell them where we were heading. So you two can head out there and I'll stick around and wait for Bailey." Jonah says purposely trying to get her alone when she comes out. I stand with a small smirk sending a wink to Jonah before walking outside expecting Corbyn to follow me.

"So what's the real reason you hate me?" Corbyn asks standing next to me on the street corner.

"I already told you but we still have to talk about the Nate issue," he doesn't accept the answer and feed it back with a glare, "I heard you in the forest after we were told we were coming on tour, why are we such bad news to you?"

"Well this life I live will change you and I don't want that happening, plus our parents are betting on us to get together. Then next thing I know you will run off with Daniel and I'll be alone." He says slightly irritated.

"I don't know how to feel about us, ok? But I don't care about our parents, and none of the boys could ever have as much history as we had together." I say bringing him in for a small little hug as I wrap my arms under his coat and around his warm waist.

"Where are you two going? On a date? All ready? Soon there's going to be little Corbyn and little bitches running around, aren't there?" I unravel myself from Corbyn and I spin to find the other boys and Aspen standing behind us. I quickly alert my bracelet and then Jonah and Bailey quickly aid to our side.

"What did you just call her?" Corbyn says pacing up to Aspen towering over her to intimidate her.

"Corbyn I think you need to take a breather for a second." Aspen says as she grips his shoulder. He doesn't pull back from it all he does is take a big breath and falls to the cement. I scream running to his side, he is unconscious.
