Band: Limp Bizkit / Song: Break Stuff

Author's note 

From the left to the right, we have Ryan Guzman as Adam Williams, Max Irons as Zayn Adams and Nicola Peltz as Melanie Clark.

The cast is almost complete! There are only two people left to be introduced. Maybe next chapter they will be. Stay tuned :)

Christopher Smith

''Shit!'' I cursed on my bed turning around to shut the alarm off. I need to find a new wake up song, because although the fact that Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff describes my daily mood and my fucked up personality, finding a smoother one would be better if I want to accomplish my 'new school years resolution'; being a nicer person.

I called my dad last night and he found us this apartment with two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a huge living room at the last minute. It helps to have a father who is well-known. You can get things fast. That is, however, the only positive side of it.

I got up and placed some white shorts with a black t-shirt that was on the top of the bed and walked towards the kitchen. I saw Brian seating there eating pancakes watching SpongeBob. That's one of the qualities that bastard has. He may be a pain in my ass, but he can cook. My salvation, because I'm a freaking disaster at cooking. If he wasn't living with me I would get diabetes from all the fast food and cereals I would eat. ''Is there any pancakes left for me?'' I asked walking to the fridge to grab some orange juice.

''There is.'' He responded still looking at the TV.

I walked to the stove and unfold some pancakes that he saved for me. I grabbed some syrup and some fruit and took a sit in front of him. ''Say it.'' I mumbled putting the fruit and the syrup inside the pancake and rolling it out to take a bite.

''Say what?'' He inquired turning his attention to me.

''I know you're mad with me about yesterday.'' I added taking another bite at the pancake. These are freaking delicious by the way.

''If you know, then there is no reason for me to say it.'' He said with a sarcastic smile on his face. I hate sarcasm and he knows it. He is taunting me.

I dropped my pancake on the plate and looked serious at him. ''What did you expect me to do? Act like everything was fine?'' I asked rolling my eyes at him.

''Of course not!'' He shouted getting up, walking to the counter, opening the garbage and tossing the leftovers to the trash. ''But you didn't have to act like a total jackass.'' He stated walking to the living room.

''What's your problem anyway?'' I mumbled getting up and following him to the living room.

''My problem?'' He asked laughing. ''I don't have any problem. I just hate seeing you treating Tori like a piece of shit.'' He stated turning on the television. ''She was our friend.''

''Was. Past. Way long gone past.'' I informed crossing my arms over my chest. Brian turned his head at me and looked at me with disappointed eyes. ''Don't look at me like that. She was the one who stopped hanging out with us.''

''She stopped because we were shitty friends to her.'' He mumbled changing the channel on the TV.

''Can we stop?'' I asked taking a sit on the couch.

''Stop what?'' He retorded.

''Stop talking about this. We came here to study and not to be involved in dramas.'' I completed.

''You're the one who started it when you were an asshole to Tori.'' Brian said with a harsh tone in his voice. Why is he acting like this? Seriously? Oh...

''Wait...'' I started trying to contain my laugh from coming out. ''Do you still like her?''

''What?'' He gasped straightening up his posture on the couch. ''No! I don't.''

''Brian...''

''Shut up. I don't!'' He shouted this time a little tense.

''Oh my fucking god, you do!'' I stated laughing my ass off. This guy can't lie even if his life was depending on it.

''Stop it.'' He pleaded in a warning tone, but it just didn't work. It only made me laugh even more. ''For fuck sake Chris just stop it!'' He commanded.

I stopped and look at him. He always had a crush on Tori since we were kids, but I didn't know that he still felt the same way after all these years. Suddenly and to save his sorry ass, someone knocked on the door.

''Thank the person at the door. That is your salvation.'' I informed letting out a teasing smile as I got up from the couch and make my way to the door.

Before I opened the door I heard someone arguing. ''Adam, can you tell Zayn to stop being an ass?'' Oh, I know this voice to well. ''I will seriously kick him where the sun doesn't sh-''

''Hey guys.'' I greeted the three weirdos that were on the other side of the door as I opened it.

''Chris!'' Melanie called, throwing herself at me for a tight hug.

''I miss you to monkey.'' I hugged her back.

''Hey dude.'' Adam and Zayn both greeted me giving me a brofist.

I opened the door and let them in. Mel ran into the living room and sat right beside Brian. We all followed her. This girl is always too energetic. ''Weren't you guys meant to be staying at the campus with us?'' She inquired a little upset.

''We were... But someone got there before us and they gave our room to them.'' I informed.

''Can't you complain to the administration?'' Zayn asked seating on the other couch, while Adam stayed leaning on the door frame.

''We could.'' I stated. But before Brian could kill me with his stare I continued. ''But what would be the point anyways? Here we are more comfortable and have more privacy.'' I concluded.

''Which means... Parties!'' Melanie jumped out of the couch, grabbed her phone and went to the kitchen to make some calls.

''She better not be inviting the whole campus to our apartment or I swear to god that I will seriously throw her out of the window.'' Brian blurted sounding serious, looking at us.

''We are on the second floor. I doubt that would stop her.'' Zayn added laughing.

''Still. '' Brian shrugged looking back at the TV.

''Who wants to play the new FIFA? I bought it yesterday.'' Brian told taking the game out of his suitcase.

''I'm in!'' Zayn shouted jumping to the same couch as Brian. ''Adam?'' Zayn called him.

''What?'' He asked showing he wasn't paying attention to our conversation.

''You want to play the new FIFA with us?''

''No, I'm not really in the mood. I'll go for a walk instead. '' He informed with a small smile walking towards the door.

Okay, what the hell is wrong with him? Why is he refusing to play videogames?

''Wait!'' I grabbed my phone and my wallet and put them inside my pocket. ''I'll go with you.'' He nodded and waited for me outside.

***

We went to a coffee near my place and it's been fifteen minutes but he still hasn't spoken. Come on, it's freaking Adam we're talking about! The only time he is quiet is when he is making out with some chick or when he is eating.

''Are you going to tell me what the hell is wrong with you, or do I have to stay here and guess?'' I asked in a harsh tone, trying to see if I could break him.

''I'm fine.'' He said looking at me. ''And you didn't have to come if you didn't want to.'' He added taking a sip on his beer, not caring for my comment.

''That might work with Zayn, but not with me. '' I replied waving to the waitress to bring a new round of beers. ''Now spill it.''

''I really don't want to talk about it.'' He sighed.

''Does it look like I care about what you want?'' I inquired taking a sip on my beer.

''Do you always have to be this nosy?'' He blurted. ''Mind your own fucking business!'' He snapped getting up and walking towards the exit. I took a twenty-dollar bill and placed it on the table and run after him. Ew, this looks like a cheesy romance.

''Wait Adam!'' I run towards him and trying to catch my breath I said... ''Look, I'm sorry.'' He turned around to face me. ''You know I can't help being like this. I'm just worried because you're being really weird and not acting like yourself.'' I need to find a way to be a 'better friend'. I don't know what to say in these situations. I always come out sounding like a douche.

''It's Callie.'' He sighed under his breath.

''Who's Callie?'' I asked totally clueless.

''You remember last month when we came here to Miami, to make the admissions tests for the soccer team? ''

''Yes...'' I said waiting for him to continue.

''Well, to celebrate our entry we went to that club and went MIA remember? '' He continued.

''Hell yeah, I remember! We didn't know where you were for hours!'' I said recalling the memories from that night.

''I was with a girl.'' He confessed. ''We had sex.''

''Oh...'' I created my throat. ''And that girl name is Callie? ''

''Yes...'' He confirmed.

''So ...'' I waited for him to tell me the rest because right now, I'm not seeing what the problem is. He already had sex with a lot of girls. This sounds bad, but it's the truth.

''She said that she is pregnant and there is a high probability that the baby is mine.'' He said running a hand throw his hair, clear evidence of panic spread all over his face.

''Wait... What?!''
