My Brother's Best Friends // 5sos

Chapter25

Once Jarvis left, I see Paige pop out from the crowd and saunter over. She grins like a lunatic whilst I glare at her.

"How'd it go-" She starts but I interrupt.

"I hate you for doing that to me. You could have just stayed there!" I huff, running a hand through my hair. It wasn't bad exactly, I just didn't appreciate it. In fact it was fine, nice even. That is right up until the end when he said those five words.

"The hickey I gave you."

So Luke never actually gave me the hickey?... I feel a strange sense of disappointment. Nothing makes any sense. I don't remember kissing Jarvis at all. But then again, I don't remember ever kissing Luke yet I woke up in a bed with him.

But Luke said nothing happened between Jarvis and I. Did he lie? And if he did then why? He did always look awkward when I asked if he remembered everything. Was that the thing he was hiding?

I hope Jarvis doesn't think we're a thing or anything along those lines. After Calum I really don't think I want a relationship.

"Earth to Skyler! Hello?" Paige waves her hands in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry. But you know," She wiggles her eyebrows mischievously. "How did it go? I seen that kiss he gave you before he left."

"That was hardly a kiss. He was just saying goodbye." I sigh. It was nothing more than a peck on the forehead. At least that's what I thought it was, I hope Jarvis didn't think anything more of it than just being friendly.

"Well I'm not the only one that thought it was a little more. Do you think Calum regrets cheating on you or something?" She takes a sip from her barely touched Diet Coke and I take a sip from my Sprite.

"No, why would you say that?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows whilst listening to the end of another cover song by the boys. They've definitely gotten better. Their first song written by them - by Luke, was amazing. What was it called? Heartbreak Girl... I wonder who he had written it about.

My stomach ties itself in a knot, leaving me feeling uncomfortable. Skyler Clifford. You are not jealous. You're being silly. I chastise myself.

"Well he looks pretty pissed off, don't you think?" She inclines her head toward the stage and I see that she's right. Whilst Calum gets ready for another song he glares at Jarvis as he serves people. Jarvis turns around and catches him. He gives Calum a brilliant smile and with his free hand he rubs his thumb and forefinger together. That's basically sign language for money, isn't it? I wonder what that's about... Calum doesn't look too happy about it though, in fact it looks as if he might-

Calum drops his guitar down and throws himself off the stage. He flies over the screaming girls and lands on top of Jarvis, tackling to him to the floor. There's a moment of silence before all the younger girls at the front begin to scream and back away as Calum continuously pounds at Jarvis's ribcage. 

Ashton, Luke and Michael shout at Calum telling him to stop. They've stopped playing their instruments but they cant get down to intervene. Calum may have had the guts to propel himself off the stage but he was fuelled on some kind of raging adrenaline. Its a pretty big drop from the stage to the floor and the other boys could hurt themselves jumping. Its lucky Calum didn't, he had Jarvis to cushion his fall.

Luke tries to take the back door off stage but a security guard blocks his path and shakes his head, Pointing to Jarvis and Calum and shaking his walkie-talkie in the air. I take it he's saying something about it being dangerous and his back-up are on their way. Something that wont be quick enough for my liking.
