Through The Dark

The ice cream shop was only a few blocks away, so we didn't mind sneaking out of the back of the club and walking there.

It was really nice outside. Luke and I had some small talk during our walk there, but nothing big really. I was just glad to be away from Harry.

When we finally got into the shop, Luke and I ordered our ice cream. It was one of those cute, top-it-yourself kind of places. He was being all sweet and goofy as he kept picking up different spoon fulls of various toppings and dumping them onto my ice cream. We both laughed as I did the same to him. Oh this was going to taste...interesting?

We paid and decided to walk around the city a bit instead of eating it inside of the shop. We took random selfies at times with some very interesting things we spotted, it was great. We talked about our favorite bands, places to go, television shows...and it seemed that we had a lot in common.

Luke had this general, uplifting mood about him. He seemed like he was always willing to have fun no matter what, and that he never took anything for granted. He seemed protective though, and caring, which wasn't a bad thing. I needed someone like him in my life.

"So what are you doing in New Jersey? Are you on a holiday or something?" He asked as we threw our empty ice cream containers into a garbage on the street.

"No, I'm uhh, actually here with One Direction," I said humorously. He probably won't believe me but we'll see.

He stopped in his tracks and turned to face me.

"Are you serious?" he said, obviously surprised.

"Yeah, they asked me to join them after I met them at one of their shows a few weeks back, as a um, experience guest, I guess," I said like it was no big deal. I didn't want to come off as a snob because I'm not but I just really wanted to just move on from this topic. I didn't really know what to say.

"Oh," Luke simply said as we started walking again," So you are, uhh, not like dating any of them then?" he asked sheepishly as he scratched the back of his neck. Awww, he seemed nervous.

What was I supposed to say? No? Then in a week, when Harry announces that I'm his 'girlfriend' and Luke hears, he'll never want to talk to me again.

What if I say yes? Then Luke realizes I'm off the market and never ever wants to talk to me again.

I JUST CAN'T WIN. I didn't want to loose my chances with Luke, maybe I'll just tell Harry that I don't want to be known as his girlfriend...

If I even have a say in it.

and then Harry will eat my face. Sounds legit.

I think too much.

"No, i'm not," I said as I smiled up at Luke.

"That's good because..." he started to say until my phone ringing interrupted him.

"I'm sorry," I said as I bit my lip and pulled in out of my pocket,

It was Harry.

"I've got to take this," I said but I felt awful. I answered my phone.

"Hello?" I said.

"Brooklyn, where the hell are you? I've been searching for you everywhere," Harry said. He sounded stressed and angry.

"I went out with a friend," I said simply.

"You left the club without talking to me first?!" he yelled back. Okay, so now he was going to yell at me?

"You know what, I'm surprised you even noticed because you acted like I wasn't even there when I was with you!" I surprisingly found myself yelling back. I looked over at Luke and he looked worried.

Harry paused.

"God dammit, stop being like this Brooklyn, I..." he started to say but paused again.

"You what Harry?! Finding it hard to speak? What, does Kendall have her tongue shoved down your throat again?" I said without thinking. I wish I could have taken it back, but now Harry knew that I saw him kissing Kendall. Oh well, I hoped he felt guilty. He should. I was furious and he hurt me, emotionally this time.

He was at a loss for words. There was nothing he could say now.

"Brooklyn, I..." I heard him almost whisper.

"I'll be back at the club in a few minutes," I said and ended the call. I didn't want to go back, but I had no where else to go.

I turned to face Luke,

"I should get back to the club now," I said sadly.

"Yeah, me too. Someone's got to carry Ashton's drunk ass home," he said humorously. I immediately found myself smiling again.

-----

We arrived back at the club in no time, and I saw Harry and Kendall standing out front talking to some people. Before he noticed me, I wanted to talk to Luke first.

"Hey, I had a really good time tonight, we should do it again," I said as I pushed a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Me too, Brooklyn. It was really great spending time with you," he said as he smiled at me. He was so gorgeous. I never really liked guys with facial piercings, but his lip ring looked so hot on him.

I looked over Luke's shoulder and saw Kendall point me out to Harry. He then started walking over to us. I pulled out my phone and told Luke to put his number in it.

When Harry reached us, Luke handed my phone back to me.

"There you are, Brooklyn," Harry said and then noticed Luke," Luke! Man, long time since I saw you," he smiled and bro-hugged Luke.

Okay, so they know each other? Great.

"Man, Harry, we'll have to catch up sometime soon. But right now, I've got to find Ashton before he gets into any trouble," Luke said and we all laughed. Luke then turned to me and bent down to hug me real quick.

"Goodbye, Brooklyn," he said to me, smiling as he pulled away.

He waved goodbye to us and then disappeared into the crowd.

Harry grabbed a hold of my arm and drug me over to the limo. He seemed mad all of the sudden...or jealous?

He got in first, then me, and then Kendall.

Kendall? What the...why was she...

Oh goody, I'm in the middle of a love bird sandwich.

"Is Kendall coming back with us?" I cautiously asked Harry. He seemed distant and looked as if he just realized she was there. Kendall was too busy on her phone to notice.

"Oh, yeah. She's staying in the same hotel as us so I..." Harry started to say.

"Hotel?" I interrupted him. No tour bus?

"Yeah, we normally stay in hotels when we stay in a city for longer than a day, the tour bus will bring our stuff to the hotel," he said but continued to stare out the window. Okay.

Then my phone lit up with a new twitter notification.

@KendallJenner is now following you!

I awkwardly glanced over at her and she was smiling at me like we were BFFs or something.

Wait, did Kendall actually want to be...friends?
