EDIT: whatttt??? why r my intros so long?? lol
Chapter 21
That was... fun ? unexpected ? amazingly perfect ?
Yes
I looked around for Luke but he wasn't here. Weird. I stretched and walked up the stairs and straight into the bathroom. It was time for a deserved shower. I had gone through.. alot in the last couple hours ?
I put my music on and stripped and turned the water to the maximum heat. Oh how i loved the feeling of boiling water burning my skin. I sighed. Where was Luke? Had he left? Obviously you dumb blonde, he isn't here so obviously he left!
I turned the shower off, craving for the burning water that had splashed on my chest seconds before. I had a very unhealthy obsession with showering in hot water. If it wasn't hot, i wouldn't shower. The cold just reminds me of winter and who in their sick minds actually likes winter?
I walked over to my room and out of all people, the person i missed the most and the girl i abandoned back in Florida was sitting on my bed. I didn't think i'd ever see that gorgeous girl again!
"Alice?" i asked, surprised, shocked, happy, and excitedly.
"Maddie!" she screamed "I've missed you so much, babe"
"Al, what the hell are you doing here?"
"well nice to know you missed me too" she said
"Oh Alice, how could i not miss your lame sarcasm?" i laughed.
"well, what are you waiting for? Christmas? Come and hug a best friend would ya!"
I ran into her open arms and wrapped my legs around her torso.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR HERE I'VE MISSED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOU"
"i can relate, Mad's. And, to answer your question" she sat on my bed "i came here for the obvious, to see my best friend and" she layed back on my bed "to tell you were going to see Ed Sheeran in 2 weeks" she finished
"Ha ha. Very funny, Alice. Would you shut up about him. I know i didn't get tickets so stop torturing me" i laughed at her and joined her on my bed.
"Well" she got up and grabbed her purse "guess i should give these to someone else" she waved two tickets in my face.
"Alice, you did no-"
"oh yes i did!" she cut me off "We are going to see Ed Sheeran in two weeks"
I screamed and started jumping on my bed
"ALICE SERIOUSLY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" i shouted
"I almost forgot, Mad's" she bent down to her bag again "Oh how could i forget these" she threw a VIP Meet And Greet card at me. I stopped and picked it up and holding it as if i had dropped my child.
"Alice you go-ot us meet and gr-reets?" i stuttered.
She just nodded.
"ALICE" i screamed "WERE GOING TO SEE ED SHEERAN AND MEET HIM"
It sounded so surreal. I can't believe i am actually meeting my husband and sitting front row at his concert in two damn weeks. Wow.
"i.. alice.. wow.. i don't think i'll ever be able to repay you for this all" i said.
"Don't worry, babe"
"No. No. I have to repay you some how. How bout a boyfriend? I can hook you up with Lukes-"
"who is Luke?" she questioned.
"Shit. I didn't tell you. Oh lord. I changed my phone number. Shit shit shit"
"are you gunna tell me or..?"
"Yes. Ok so Luke. Luke Brooks is my boyfriend? Yea. He lives next door which is pretty cool so yea i'll invite him ove-"
"have you guys.. y'know?"
God. Did she always have to interrup?
"Well.."
"you whore. You did sleep with him!" she laughed.
"Anyway, so yea how bout we go get some lunch?"
"yea sure" she nodded
"ok lets go then!" i replied and grabbed her wrist and walked downstairs
"wait" i remembered i was in a towel "i think cafes have policies like no shirt no service so im gunna go throw something on. Be right back"
I threw on some jeans and a sweatshirt and my uggs and ran downstairs.
"shall we?" i smiled.
"we shall" Alice hooked her arm with mine and we walked outside.
"where to, Mad's?"
"uh starbucks ?" i shrugged.
"Perfect"
...
We were walking back to my house after we stopped at starbucks to get some brunch. Alice and i caught up on eachothers lives. She said she and i quote "desperately needed a boyfriend because she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life with food, starbucks and 69 cats". That right there, sounds like the perfect life to me.
I called Luke a few times but he didn't pick up once. I texted him and they delivered but he never replied. Alice kept telling me that his phone was probably dead or he was busy or asleep. As much as i wanted to believe her, something in me told me i couldn't and that something very wrong was happening, something that I just couldn't put my finger on. It's not like Luke's out cheating on me or something. Well, at least i hope not. I love him and i should trust him but this stupid thing in me just doesn't and it's really bothering me, whatever it is.
-texting luke-
1:17 PM
Maddie - hey Luke. Please text me back or call me when you get this! ily xx
1:49 PM
Maddie - hey babe. Pls call me! Im worried. I love you, Luke xo
2:27
Maddie - Luke, please call me. Firstly, your really worrying me and secondly, your really annoying me. Im worried please text me or call me, babe ily.
3:45
Maddie - literally luke. Im gunna call the boys if you don't reply soon!! Im worried.
4:58
Luke?
5:43
Seriously luke.
7:08
I am officially done with your bullshit. Your obviously avoiding me. Do you have something or someone distracting you?
9:13
Fine. I get it. Just don't call me. I get it.
-end of texting luke-
"I am done with him. Seriously! All he had to do was reply saying he was alright or at least called one of the boys to tell them to tell me!" i shouted, angrily.
After saying that, i had an idea.
I picked up my phone and called Jai.
-phone call-
Ring
Ring
Ring
Ring
"Hey Jai"
"Hey Maddie! Whats wrong?"
"by any chance, do you know where luke is?"
"Uhm.."
"Well?"
"Uh well.. he did-dn't tell me anything"
"what about Beau or Daniel or James?"
"Uh um no he didn't"
"Oh ok"
"Ok"
"whats wrong, Jai? Your stuttering?"
"Oh-h so-orry nothing's wrong got to go"
Phone goes dead
"bye"
-end of phone call-
"Well? Anything?' Alice asked.
I shook my head. "Nope. He was all stuttery and stuff. Like he is hiding something. You know what! Stay here. I'll be right back"
"Ok" she just nodded and i ran downstairs and out the door and to the Brooks' house.
I rang the doorbell and after ringing and knocking, i decided that i would go back because they weren't here, obviously.
"No luck?" Alice called, walking down the stairs.
"Nope" i said, popping the p.
"don't worry, babe"
"don't. Don't give me that bull. I should be worried what if Luke's you know with someone else?" i spoke softly.
"well, maybe we should go find out!"
I looked at her puzzled
"well, how many clubs are actually in Melbourne?"
"Like 3"
"well go get dressed! We are going out" she pushed me up the stairs
"i don't understand? Are we like gunna stalk him or something?"
"you bet!" she laughed "if he is out there with some hooker i swear, that boy will not live to see another day!"
"he's probably no-"
"shut up! You brought it up in the first place! You said it yourself. If he is, than he gets beat up. If he isn't, he gets beat up because he hasn't replied to you all damn day!!"
"you've got a point there, Al" i smiled "well? What are you waiting for? Christmas? Get ready!" i laughed, using Alice's words from earlier. She just smirked and walked to my closet.
"thank the lord we are the same size! I didn't think i would have to bring a dress or else i would have" she said while rumaging through my closet.
"pick one for me too please!" i called as i walked to the bathroom to get my makeup bag.
...
I wore a black, strapless dress with 5 inch maroon heels. Alice had done a smokey eye look for my makeup to match my dark dress and also maroon lipstick to match my heels. Alice had also curled my hair and to be honest, i looked great!
Alice wore something similar to me except her dress was purple and she had paired her dress with black 5 inched heels. Her eyes were also smokey and she had on some nude lipstick. She had also curled her hair and she looked absoutely phenomenal and gorgeous in absoutely every way possible.
"your so hot, Al. Why don't you have a boyfriend again?"
"because i am not a whore, unlike some people" she said and winked.
Even if i wanted to wink, i couldn't. I looked like some physco who had a twitching eye and it was just overall, unattractive.
"Ha ha. Funny Alice stricks again!" i laughed.
"im always funny so shut up, whore" she smiled at me.
"love you too, slut" i blew her a kiss.
We had an amazing relationship.
...
*AT THE CLUB*
"ok, you go have fun and i'll look for Luke. If i am not back in 15 minutes, wait outside for me and text me and if im not out in 30 minutes, please come look for me! Love you Alice" i practically screamed over the loud music.
"got it, mom! Love you too, Mad's"
I smiled
She grabbed my arm and looked me in the eye
"hey. Be careful ok. I love you babe"
I nodded and began my search for my disappearing, not responding to my gazillion texts and phone calls, boyfriend.
"Luke!" i shouted.
"Luke, you here"
"Luke!!"
No luck.
"Lukke!"
"Luke please!"
10 minutes later
I headed out of the club. I couldn't find Luke. He obviously wasn't here so i guess it was time for the next club.
I called Alice.
She had picked up and i was absoutely thankful for that
"Hey Alice!"
"Maddie! Did you find Luke?"
"Nope. Please come outside"
"Wait. What a jerk"
"Wait what?"
"He.. Luke he is here!"
"Alice, where?"
"Here in the club. Come to the washroom area. He is her-"
"be right there"
Finally.
I ran through the people and when my eyes laid on something i never thought i'd see. Now i see why Alice called him a jerk. He was kissing like hardcore makeout sesh with some blonde. Well should have seen it coming one day. I didn't want to believe it so i kept denying that luke wouldn't cheat on me cause he actually loved me but when this comes into view, i doubt everything that happened last night was just to lead me on so he could come back to his blondie here.
I mouthed to Alice "lets just go"
She nodded and we left.
The way home was silent.
"babe. Im really sorry. I didn't want to believe he would cheat but i just don't know im sorry, Mad's" alice said.
"Al, it's not your fault. It's mine for actually thinking luke loved me and that i could actually trust him and the boys. Im pretty sure they all knew his plan"
"it's ok babe. We will go home and watch movies ok?"
I nodded. "thank you alice. Your really the bestest friend i could ever ask for"
"tell me something i don't know" she laughed
"no but reallly, without you tomorrow i probably would have gone to see luke and be all coupley or whatever with him and he would just keep all this to himself and just continue to hurt me so thank you. I love you"
"love you too" she smiled
"when do you leave?" i asked.
"trying to get rid of me already?" she smiled "i actually have to go back tomorrow morning. But, i'll be back the day before the concert so we can be all fangirl and stuff"
"awe. Im gunna be alone for two weeks. Yay"
"stop it! You like being alone and you'd prefer me gone right now!"
"haha true but i really need someone right now and your the PERFECT person"
"waait.. does this mean we can cuddle?"
"yes"
"YEEES!" i just laughed at her.
"stop laughing, Maddie! You know you like cuddling with me! You know you love me"
" well, i do love your hugs and you so yea"
...
That night we watched about 5 minutes of a movie and than Alice said she should go to bed since her plane leaves at 6. She said goodbye to me because she wouldn't be able to see my tomorrow since she leaves at 3 at at the time she went up, it was 12 and now it's 12:30. i was on my phone until there was a knock at the door.
Who knocks on someones door past midnight?
I walked up to the door and unlock it and than open it.
In the entrance stands Beau.
"Beau?"
...
