Lauren's POV

"And then, he nearly hit her with his drink." I said taking a tomato from my salad eating it quickly but when I looked at Luke, he was drown in his own thoughts. He looked like he isn't even listening to me, I was telling him about what Michael did to Kenzie yesterday since he left early which I didn't know why, maybe Liz needed him.

"Luke." I called and he didn't move an inch, I waved my hand in front of his face so, he'll at least wake up from his daydream. "Babe, are you okay?" 

"Ah, what?" He asked hesitantly, I sighed and set my fork in the container bringing my whole attention to my boyfriend. He looked so tired and so lost in his thoughts today, but I found it really normal since everyone is like this today, blame Calum's wild party the night before.

"What's up with you Luke?" 

"I'm okay, really. Just tired." He rubbed his tired and puffy eyes, running his hand through his hair which is falling on his forehead. He was avoiding my gaze, I could see it really clearly because I know him so well, plus his sudden disappearance yesterday is really odd. "Carry on, babe, I'm sorry." He added.

"It's okay. So, he nearly splashed his drink on her face and she was so embarrassed because he yelled at her so many embarrassing and rude things in front of everyone." I said pressing my lips together as he listened to me eating his pasta. Although I'm kinda pissed off at Kenzie for what she did with Jacob, I understand her. Michael deserved every bit of it because he only kept on hurting her non stop. 

"Ashton is such an asshole. He kept on insulting Kenzie and dropped the bomb eventually."

"Kenzie is fuming right now. I left her with Skylar outside, I swear if she finds the opportunity to slap him. She will." I commented giggling at how funny Kenzie looks when she's mad. She was jumping up and down cursing to herself and threatening to kill Ashton. "But seriously Kenzie really crossed the limits, she, like, had sex with every single one of them." He said laughing too taking another spoonful of his pasta but I dropped my fork immediately. 

"What? How, every single of them?"

"Well, Calum, Ashton, Michael and Jacob." He said through his full mouth.

No.

No fucking way.

How the hell Kenzie slept with Ashton too? 

How?

When?

Where?

"What the fuck Luke? You better not be serious." I said sternly and Luke stopped giggling, a serious look taking over his features. I can't believe that Kenzie had something with Irwin and I don't know about it. I thought we're done with lies. "What Lauren? Don't tell me you don't know about this?" When I shook my head, he bit his lip rubbing his scruff. "Dammit Luke." He cursed. 

"But basically, last year, they used to fuck and stuff nothing too serious though." He explained quickly, his voice sounding hesitant a bit. My mind was going crazy, when will the lies stop? She kept on warning me about Ashton. How he'll end up hurting me eventually, but she never told me the real reason between all of that. I understand now. What's the point of being best friends when she practically doesn't tell me anything anymore.

"I'm seriously so lost right now."

"Why are you even mad? Let them fuck and rot in hell, they all are assholes." He leaned back on the chair fixing his hair once again. "Because this is not okay." I fought back.

"Don't tell me, you're not okay because of she was with Ashton." He rolled his eyes at the end, I looked at him sternly, I couldn't believe. "Who fucking brought up Irwin now? My best friend, the only person I can tell everything to without worrying about any thing, has been feeding me lies the whole time and you think that I'm jealous?" I yelled not even caring that we're in the middle of the canteen. He's being ridiculous right now.

"This is not the only thing she kept as a secret. You shouldn't be this surprised, but I know you Lauren, you are irritated because she was certainty with him." 

"Are you serious?" I snapped, "Like seriously, this is how your brain fucking works?"

"You used to date him and you had a thing for him." I cut him off, I couldn't take this anymore, this is ridiculous. "What's wrong seriously with you? Who's Ashton fucking Irwin in front of you. I am fucking in l-.." 

"Whatever, Ashton is nobody to me and I'm not angry because of that." That was my second time close to telling him about my feelings and I wanted to fucking cut my tongue off. I can't even keep two words to myself. "I'm sorry, Lauren. I don't know what's wrong with me, I guess, I'm really tired."

Luke's POV

 "I'm sorry, Lauren. I don't know what's wrong with me, I guess, I'm really tired." I told her feeling so weird about what I just said to her. I'm really going insane. I don't even know why I questioned her feelings for me. If I didn't apologize, I would have picked a fight and we would be arguing, God knows what will that lead to. 

"I'm gonna go see the others, I gotta talk to Kenzie." She packed her things and swing her bag over her shoulder, leaning in to plant a kiss on my cheek. I held into her hand before asking seriously, "Are you still mad at me?" 

"No, I understand. We all have these days where we don't even know what we're doing." She smiled making everything go crazy inside me. Damn, I love her. I'm in love with her positive personality, she is so comprehensive. She'll never fail at making me feel better. 

How the fuck am I supposed to leave her? 

I packed my things and left the insanely loud canteen walking through the hallway heading to the field, where the guys should be. I threw my backpack on a random bench and I said hi to Michael, Calum, Madison and Melissa. Me and Madison are not really speaking at all and I don't even care about her. She reached to hug me but I hugged Melissa instead. She needs to understand that I hate her guts.

"Are you okay Michael?" I asked feeling a little bad for him. Although he seems like a complete douche at first, but you can say, that he's the closest for me in all of them. He's gotten a cool personality and I wanna be here for him because I feel like he needs some support. 

"I'll be okay, whatever. She's not the only one." He replied with a weak smile and I patted his shoulder returning a genuine smile. I looked over at Calum and Melissa and they were so concentrated on themselves to even care about what we were saying but Madison was silent, drown in her virtual world. It's better this way.

"Why did you leave yesterday, what happened?" I bit my lip nervously because I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell him but I don't know how to start. "Ashton." 

"What's up?" He asked.

"He threatened me. Who the fuck does he think he is? I can't understand really. Lauren is not some toy. She is a human being, she has feelings and she's mine now. If she wanted to be with him, she would but she chose me." I spoke rather really loudly because I had so much stuck inside and I had to let it all out. I looked over at Madison quickly but she had earbuds. She's really weird sometimes.

"Oh." That was all what he said. He looked neutral. It's like he was waiting for this to happen. "What?" 

"I know about this and this is not his idea actually. It's Jacob's, that bastard is really one smart manipulative motherfucker." Yeah, figured that this is not coming from Ashton's brain. He's quite dumb, he wouldn't pull out a clever move like this. I ran my hand through my hair yet another time letting out a very long sigh. 

"Listen Luke, you love Lauren, don't you?" 

"I do but I don't know about her." I replied honestly. 

"Whatever, I'm pretty sure she does too, but, don't let him ruin your life. The world doesn't move under his permission. You are clever enough and very fearless Luke. Don't let him step on your weakness, Lauren is yours and nobody could change that except, you two." I nodded not adding any other word. He already said enough and he's right. I am way smarter than Ashton and he wouldn't beat me. 

"He ruined so many things in our lives, don't let him ruin more." He added patting my shoulder and I smiled at him. I can't believe how good Michael actually is. He sure pulls off the typical douche bag, druggy, kinda guy because of his hair color, piercings and dark-colored clothes but inside, he has a really warm heart and he never failed to make all of us happy. "Thanks dude, really." I said truthfully, and he smiled back accepting my gratefulness. 

Lauren's POV

I just got Skylar's text and she told me that her and Kenzie were sitting in the hall. I was fuming inside and my hands were shaking from anger. I'm glad that those words slipped from Luke's mouth because otherwise, I'd be like the dumbest in the group. Everyone is hiding things from me and I wonder what's more.

"Hey Lauren, where's your bae?" Skylar giggled waving at me, but I didn't move any part of my body. I bet my face was colorless because Sky's smile faded and she looked really worried. I slammed my backpack on the empty table causing Kenzie to turn off her phone looking at me with a raised eyebrow. 

"Miss, when are you deciding to tell me about your thing with Irwin?"

"What the fuck?" She snapped when she noticed how rude my tone was. I didn't care less. My anger level was so high up in the sky. "What kind of a friend are you? You spent the whole year feeding me complete bullshit and all what you wasted on me was 'be careful, Ashton isn't the guy for you'. Wow, Mackenzie, this is the definition of a best friend in your pathetic brain."

"Watch out your words Lauren, this is not true!"

"Stop lying! God dammit! Everybody knows about this, even Luke and of course, I am the last one to know about how my best friend used to fuck my ex boyfriend." I was yelling and every single student who was walking by, turned their heads to hear what we were saying. 

"Who told you this? Your extremely honest boyfriend?" 

"Yeah, at least, he's way more honest than you are." I fired back and Skylar was watching both of us with her lips pressed together. I was so done with her shit right now. "Okay, listen, let me explain."

"Are you going to rub yet another bullshit in my face? Oh please, I don't need that!" 

"Let me say something, what the fuck!" She yelled standing up of her previous seat. Her voice echoed in the hall and more students were watching the scene enjoying it. "You went behind my back and fucked the guy that I hated the most and then, all you did was telling me that he's no good for me without giving me a fucking explanation. You are my fucking best friend, we are supposed to tell everything to each other, this isn't fair okay!"

"I was scared! I was scared that you'll cause the same scene you're making now! I regret being with Ashton because it ruined many things in my life! Actually everything is ruined! Every single one of my friends thinks that I'm a slut! The guy that I'm desperately in love with hates my guts! My only best friend thinks that I'm a liar and I never was loyal to our friendship! This is what I was scared of and I regret every single thing I've done with Ashton or Jacob or any fucking body there!" She yelled loudly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She was a crying mess when she finished sitting back in her seat sobbing into her hands. I was terrified inside. 

I really care about her. I was terrified for her because she practically is going through so much right now. But, this is not fair for me either. I don't deserve to be treated this way. I know I shouldn't blame only Kenzie in this story, Ashton has an important role too. But, Ashton isn't even worth my attention. The sound of her loud sobs broke my heart and I sat across from her and reached for her shoulder. It made me feel a little bit bad for yelling at her like this. I couldn't control my anger. 

"Kenz.." I murmured shaking her shoulder a little bit. "Leave me alone Lauren, I got everything you said, you can go join your lovely boyfriend now." She managed to say through her sobs and muffled voice, "I'm sorry for what happened with the others, and I don't hate you Kenzie. I'm just mad because you hid a lot of things from me."

"I made mistakes and I'm paying for the consequences. I'm sorry, I really am. I tried to warn you and keep you away from that bastard but I couldn't tell you why. I'm really glad for Luke, because if it weren't him, you would be still trapped in his dirty game." She sat back on the chair wiping her tears quickly and thank God, she wasn't wearing any makeup today because it'd be a complete mess.

"I hate myself so much. I'm dying inside, right now. Everybody is giving me dirty looks in the hallways and Michael didn't miss an opportunity to make me feel worst." I could see how much she's trying to hold back her tears. My anger towards her was slowly replaced by pity and care. The only person that now deserved to feel this way is Ashton. 

"Fuck them Kenzie. You have us and we'll always be by your side." Skylar spoke for the first time wrapping her arm around Kenzie's shoulders. I can understand how much Kenzie is broken inside and I'm going to forgive her because she already has enough, she's my sister and I don't know what I'd without her. I need her in my life. "Yeah, fuck them." 

"What's happening here?" My heart dropped to my feet when I heard his disgusting voice behind me. Skylar froze in her seat and Kenzie was emotionless. This isn't the right time. "Ashton, please. Not now." Skylar begged tightening her grip about Kenzie's arm who's about to explode any second soon. 

"Oh now it's the time to catch up with both my ex girlfriend and ex fuck buddy."
