After Calum and I finished our bowls of ice cream, filling our mouths with spoonfuls in between hushed whispers. I walked back into the living room just to be playfully harassed about what happened with Calum. Eliza was definitely my new best friend. Looking back at that moment, that was the moment I realized it. Right after our movie ended, like 3 in the morning, Luke comes into the room. I'm "asleep" laying on Eliza's lap, but really I had accidentally woken up with Luke's clumsy loudness.

I didn't move though because I was so tired still. I really wasn't trying to eavesdrop, it just kinda happened. Luke whispers quietly for my sake, "H-hey, Lizzy. I've missed you, ya know..."

Now, at this moment all of the sleepiness I had felt left my body, I had to know what the meaning of what Luke just said. Eliza.

Eliza speaks softer than Luke did and says, "I miss you too." She pauses for a second realizing what she admitted, "But that doesn't mean we should be together. Luke, we spent so much time together and made so many memories of course we'll miss each other, but that doesn't mean we belong together."

Luke isn't taking no for an answer because he argues, "We can make it worse this time. We know what happened the last time. All we have to do is keep communicating. We can do this; we can be an us again."

Eliza shakes her head, "Besides having major communication issues, we have your sister to worry about now. You know how difficult a time I have making friends and she's come in within a week and we're the closest friends I've ever been with someone. Yes, I know I'm over tonight, and it's the first night I've been over, but normally the first time is the last. She's literally sleeping on my lap. I think we're going to be close, and I don't want to sacrifice that to date her brother."

Luke was about to say more, but Eliza threatened to wake me up. That shut him up, and he walked out of the living room quickly. Eliza just leaned back and we both fell asleep within moments of him leaving.

The next morning, I wake up to find Eliza still asleep. Instead of waking her, I get up and make a pot of coffee. Moments after the coffee is done Ashton walks in the room. Before he can be himself, very loud, I shush him and point to Eliza. He nods and pushes past me to the coffee. I roll my eyes and grab two mugs. After I put the mugs in the counter, Ashton fills them and I grab the cream and sugar from the fridge. Which we both trade to pour in our separate cups.

When we've both finished making our coffees. I set mine on the coffee table and walk to my room to put on sweatpants instead of these jeans I fell asleep in. I walk back to the kitchen table and sit across from Ashton. I guess he's an early riser too.

We sit in silence for a few minutes, before he says quietly, "How are you doing? Good, right? No one's been mean or rude or anything, right?"

I laugh a bit, because I can tell how much he cares. "Uh no. I- it was just that one guy, but Eliza helped me out." I smile as he nods. We drink the rest of our coffees in comfortable silence until he gets up to put his mug in the sink.

He says,"Ya know, it was really nice to have someone else to drink coffee with this early in the morning. The boys don't normally get up till noon." He giggles and walks back to Luke's room. I turn on another movie quietly while waiting for Eliza to wake up.

Two different movies later, Eliza finally stirs awake. "Good morning, Eliza. Want coffee?"

She groans and nods, "Mhm, please. I wish I could wake up to that question everyday."

I laugh as I have already turned on the next pot. "Try waking up to your dream life, every morning. Oh, I'm gonna go see which of the boys are awake and if any want coffee."

She nods as she tries to blink the sleep from her eyes. Ashton was the only boy awake and so I just waved after coming in from the bathroom entrance. "I was coming to see who all was up, but the answer is all too easy. See ya later, Ash." We laugh and I walk back out to the coffee pot.

I pour it into two different mugs and put what I'd normally do to mine, in both. Eh, she'd like it. I hoped, because there's no going back, unless I make more. I could make more.

I hand her the coffee cup, and sit down beside her. "So Caaaaalum?" She looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

I tuck my hair behind my ear and blush as I say, "Yeah, I really like him. And you know how you left me with him last night with the pizza? Don't freak, buuuut he asked me out!! For today! We're going out to get ice cream, at noon."

Eliza's shocked face was indication enough that she was not eavesdropping last night. "Noon? That's like two hours from now! Go get in the shower!! NOW!! We have to get you ready in time!" I smile and pause for a second, just realizing how much I love this life.

Within a few second though, I had brought her and our stuff to my room, and told her to take watch at the other bathroom door. I'm halfway through conditioner when I hear someone, it sounds like Luke, but I'm not sure I have water in my ears. He goes away and I turn off the water, grab my towel, and scurry into my room.

By Eliza's instruction, I put on pajamas and sit in my desk chair. "It's a good thing you don't take very long showers, or we coulda been in trouble." She laughs.

She blow dries and straightens my hair just to put the top half in a bun, and puts some makeup on my face. I haven't ever worn makeup so it feels foreign, but not bad or anything. She picks out an outfit for me to wear, and lays it on the bed while she sips her coffee facing the wall.

I put on ripped black jeans and a grey Metallica shirt. She's also picked out a leather jacket I didn't remember getting, but sure that Luke put in there. She points to the black converse I'll put on when it's closer to noon. I walk into the bathroom to see a really pretty, happy girl. I can't help but smile at the way I look.

I walk back out to her after unlocking the other door and closing ours. "You're ready to go. Just put on your shoes, and you're ready." She smiles and looks very proud of me. I'm not sure why because, she's the one that did all the hard work, I just modeled.

Luke walks in to my room 5 minutes before twelve. I was in the middle of putting on my shoes. "I don't want you going out with Calum. He-he breaks hearts, and I don't want yours to be one of them."

"Awww Lukey, you care so much. I get what you're saying, but it's better to have loved and been broken then never to have loved at all. I really really like Calum. And I wanna take this chance, which I'm doing with or without your permission, but I really hope I would have it if I did want it."

Luke looks at the ground and kicks at the floor a bit, "Yeah, yeah I guess it's okay."

I smile and hear a knock at my door. I walk to the door to see Calum. "Ready for our date, Lili Bean?"
