*Ember's Dream*

"Luke!" I screamed, as he threw me in the pool. I hit the cold water and screamed. I swam up, taking in a deep breath. He was laughing his ass off.

"Your scream," He laughed. "PRICELESS!" now my new dress was ruined. "Here, i'll help." He put his hand out. I grabbed it and pulled him in right away.

"Oh SHIT!" Calum said.

"That's what you get!" I pointed at him as he swam up.

"I guess so." he laughed.

"That's my girl." Mikey came up. I got out of the pool and faced him.

"Do you want to go in?" I asked. He took his hand out of his pockets and put them in the air.

"Oh no, someone has to look good for our date." He smirked. I opened my mouth, offended. I took his arm and pulled him into the pool with me.

"AGH!" He screamed. We hit the pool, when we went under I opened my eyes to see his eyes were already opened. I shook his head and came closer to him. He put his hand on my cheek, and he kissed me.

*Dream over*

I flashed My eyes opened. I sat up to see I was still in the same position. Did I just dream about the guys? And did I kiss Mikey?! Then my phone buzzed. I pick it up to see it was Michael.

Michael's POV

All through rehearsal, I was thinking about Ember's and our conversation last night. I wonder who these boys are? Does she think of us as friends? Am I over thinking everything? Will she stop being friends with me because i'm "famous"?

"MICHAEL!" Someone yelled, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"HUm what?" I asked.

"Mate, are you ok? You been out of it since we got here." Calum said.

"Um yeah, I'm fine." I shot up from my spot. "What are we doing?" I clapped my hands. They all looked at me with a confusing look.

"Does this have to do with Ember?" Ashton asked.

"What, no. I'm just tired, Didn't get much sleep." I said.

"Because you were texting Ember." Calum said. Shit.

"What? no I wasn't-"

"Your giggling woke me up." He interrupted me. I closed my mouth and crossed my arms.

"Ok so," I mumbled. "Can't I text her?" I asked.

"Not if its going to keep you up all night." Ashton said.

"Ok fine, I'll text her before bed." I walked through the boys into the Studio.

"No Mikey," Ashton stopped me. "Maybe it's best not to text her at all." He put his hand on my shoulder.

"What? Why not? We're friends, we all are her friends." I said.

"We only met her once, I mean sure we're friends, but she made it clear she didn't want anything to do with us. Plus she is distracting you." Calum said. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Luke, you talked to her more then these two, what do you think?" I asked. He looked away and took a deep breath.

"I mean I liked Ember, but we need to focus on this right now." He answered. I shook my head, I hit Ashton hand off me and turned away from them. "Maybe after and we are on the road."

"Not even, she could leak information maybe. Don't you hear all those stories? Hanging out with people who don't understand aren't good at all." Calum added.

"No you're wrong." I turned back to them. "Ember wouldn't do that, Look I won't talk to her as much but I will not cut her off!" I raised my voice. I walked out of the studio.
