Amnesia | Part 3

Luke:

”Shit.” You cursed as yet another child ran past you making you stop in track in front of you, trying to stabilize the tray with drinks you were holding. Rolling your eyes by the kid you started to walk again, walking over to the table that had ordered the drinks. Placing the drinks in front of each person you let out a smile before saying enjoy. Walking back to the bar you placed the tray on top of the others, letting out a deep sigh. “I hate family gatherings.” You mumbled more to yourself than your employee Rhonda but she did heard and Rhonda let out a giggle. “Mood up Y/N.” She laughed hitting you with the tea towel she was holding. “It’s just not my day.” You shrugged looking outside the window of the shop, the streetlights being the only thing illuminating besides the light that were placed on the tables where people were sitting either drinking alcohol or coffee. “You haven’t really been yourself lately.” She confessed as she was filling the coffee machine up with beans. “I guess not.” You mumbled, grabbing a new tray before placing 4 cups on it. “Talked to Quiffo since that day?” She asked more quietly and you only shook your head at her, and she nodded her head. “Hey I’ve seen that mock of locks before.” Rhonda said all of the sudden making you look up from the tray, looking outside as well and spotted Ashton immediately. “What is he doing here?” She asked placing a hand to her hip. “I don’t know and I don’t care.” You said in a fast tone before filling the 4 cups with coffee, taking the tray before you sprinted over to the persons who had ordered it. Ashton came in through the door, taking seat at one of the barstools in front of Rhonda. “Hey can you tell me if Y/N’s at work today?” He asked, and she didn’t say anything, just pointed towards you standing in front of one of the tables, taking an order. “How’s he?” Rhonda asked, and Ashton knew by the look in her eyes who she was asking about. “Devastated.” He admitted. “Just like her.” She answered and Ashton’s eyes widen in surprise. “We gotta do something.” He whispered leaning over the counter, afraid that you’ll be there any second and she nodded her head. “I have an idea. Get Rockstar over here after we close. I’ll get Y/N dressed into some more appropriate than our uniform. I’ll get Muso to make some food for them out in the kitchen and then we’ll place them at some tables further down in the shop.” She explained pointing towards where the lights were more dimmed and a more in a more cut off room. “Wauw. Better than what I was thinking.” Ash said impressed whilst nodding his head. He smiled at her before standing up from the bar stool. “Want some coffee with you?” Rhonda asked already mixing Ashton a latte. “Can’t say no to that. Thanks.” He smiled before grabbing the cup walking out from the shop. As you saw Ashton walk out of the door you went back to the bar, looking curiously at Rhonda. “What did he want?” You asked, as you stood next to her placing the empty tray in your hands on the counter. “Coffee. Not a surprise.” She said with a wink, looking up at the clock. “What are you doing later?” Rhonda asked all of the sudden making you cock an eyebrow. “Comparing to the fact that we close at 11pm and its Tuesday, nothing?” You asked confused and she nodded her head at your words. “I bought a dress here this morning before I went to work. The size is actually a little too small for me so I think you should try it. I have it in a bag in our back room.” She smiled before taking a new tray, placing 2 cups on it. “Sure.” You smiled before seeing new people coming in through the door. Taking the notepad from the counter you gave her one last smile before walking over to the table they had placed themselves at.   

Calum:

“No Cal wait.” You almost shouted pushing whatever grocery you had into Chase arms before sprinting after Cal, trying to catch up with him. As you turned around the corridor like he did you knotted your eyebrows as he was nowhere to be seen. Turning around you were met by the rest of the boys, them all staring suspicious at you. “You’ve been ignoring him for so many weeks, why in the world would you think that he was gonna talk to you?” Ashton almost snapped, taking you totally aback by his cold state. “What?” You mumbled not getting what he was hinting. “You’ve had your chances Y/N.” Luke said as they walked past you. “And you wasted them.” He finished off before they went out of the grocery store, you still standing frozen. You took a deep breath before turning around to see Chase wait for you further down the corridor. “I don’t know what just happened.” You confessed as approached him, looking a last time back at where Calum had stood only 10 minutes ago. “I don’t either. Come on lets go pay for this.” He smiled gesturing to the grocery and you nodded your head, following him to the cashier. You were silence the whole ride home and when you came home you went straight up to your room. Laying in your bed your mind went all fuzzy, thoughts were flying around in your head. Looking daring at your phone you hesitated for a moment before grabbing it from your pillow, unlocking it. You opened the message app before scrolling down until you came past Calum’s name. Pressing you started to type a message your fingers shaking as you did it. You read the message through before clicking send. Waiting for a text back felt like hours but as you heard the small bip coming from your phone you grabbed it almost harshly unlocking it to see what he typed back. “No I don’t wanna talk.” It was flat and straight, hitting you hard in your chest. “Wanna delete this text?” Your phone suddenly questioned making you knot your eyebrows, pressing no. Everything started to feel suspicious so you pressed the gear in the messages seeing a sudden briefcase named “deleted texts”. You didn’t hesitate to press and all Calum’s old texts sudden appeared making your eyes wide in surprise, seeing how desperate he’d been. “I didn’t receive any of these.” You mumbled to yourself and as you did Chase came in through your door. “What?” He asked confused placing a mug on your dresser. “My phone has been deleting my texts.” You said in an angry tone showing him your phone. His eyes started to grow bigger, looking between you and the phone. “Maybe you have to get it fixed.” He stammered, looking away from your suspicious eyes. “Why are you so nervous all of the sudden?” You questioned, standing up from your bed. “I uhm.” He mumbled avoiding your gaze. “Tell me.” You demanded, and he let out a shaky sigh. “I may or may not have been deleting your texts from Cal.” Your jaw almost hit the floor as he said it. “You’re kidding right?” You said in almost a whisper. “Why?” “Because you’re so much better without him, I know you!” He exclaimed making you roll your eyes at him. “But that doesn’t mean that you’re allowed to delete something that was personal send to me! Everything makes sense now.” You said placing your hands on your cheeks, the puzzle finally completed. “You’re such an idiot you know that right?” You asked him but didn’t let him finish as you already headed towards your door. “Where you’re going?” He asked. “Out. I need to talk to Cal.” You said seriously already heading out. Walking over to Calum’s flat you didn’t hesitate to bang at least 15 times on his door, wanting him to talk to you as soon as possible. But what you didn’t expect was for Ashton to open the door instead. “What are you doing here?” Ashton snapped as him and Luke was standing in the doorframe, their cold stares never leaving your small frame.
