Back for You
• Chapter 7 •
-Aly’s POV-
“I’ll be there to take Mia to childcare soon but I’m sick so I’m not going to work today.” Cece’s voice echoed through the phone. “It’s not contagious so don’t stress about that.”
“Are you sure you want to take her, I can call Luke if I really need to, or get a taxi.” I offered, not wanting her to go out of her way for me.
“No, it’s ok. I’m going to come back to yours and get breakfast with you at the café before your shift.”
“Well, if you’re sure… I’ll get her ready and be waiting for you.”
“Sounds good, see you in about fifteen minutes.” She disconnected the call and I quickly got Mia into a dress one or two sizes too small for her. I was trying to save up to by her a few nice outfits that will hopefully last her a bit.
I got Mia breakfast and packed her bags in the space of ten minutes before helping her into her shoes and taking her out to wait for Cece. She played in the sun while I sat in the concrete driveway until Cece arrived.
Once Cece had taken Mia out of my hands I went back inside to get ready for work. I didn’t have to worry about breakfast because it was on the house for employees so I just got ready at a nice pace and met Cece at the door.
We took her car even though it was a quick walk, she would have to leave me there. I greeted Sam and slipped on my apron as he took Cece and my orders and Cece grabbed us a seat.
The bell chimed, habitually drawing my attention to the door. My eyes widened when the four members of Five Seconds of Summer walked through the door. This should be interesting since Cece didn’t actually know who Mia’s father was and they were making their way towards me. Well at least Luke and Ashton were, the other two were just trailing behind confused. Then again, I don’t think Michael ever knew what was happening.
“You working yet?” Luke asked as they reached me.
“Nah Cece and I are going to have breakfast before I started my shift.” I gestured to my friend peering curiously over at us, she was a fan of the boys music but whenever she would try and talk about them I would usually tune her out. I turned back to see Luke with his jaw dropped and his eyes taking her in.
“Is that your friend?” I nodded. “She’s pretty.” I hit him on the arm laughing.
“Yeah, and she’s mine. Hands off.” I joked and he laughed. “Calum, Michael, good to see you again.”
“Erm hi…” Michael trailed off and Cal nodded a greeting, okay then. Luke and Ash mustn’t have explained the situation. Or maybe they did and they still hate me.
”Can we join you?” Ash asked almost nervously and I shrugged.
“Sure, I’d be surprised if Cece has a problem with it, she’s a fan of your music, drives me insane.” I chuckled leading them to the table and Ash let out a nervous chortle.
“Yeah,” he trailed off as we joined two tables together and took a seat.
I sat down between Ashton and Cece, Luke being across from her with Cal in the middle and Mike beside him. There was an awkward tension surrounding us as Cece leaned over to me.
“You know them!” She whispered harshly in my ear and I nodded, slightly frightened by her tone of voice. “Why didn’t you tell me? You suck!” She complained.
“Sorry, Ash, Luke, Cal, Mike, this is my friend Cece, Cece this is Ashton, Lucas, Calum and Michael and yes they are from Five Seconds of Summer. I knew them before I left Australia.” I trailed off slightly at the end.
They all gave her a sweet hello as I noticed Sam coming towards us with our breakfast. “Oh, I didn’t realise you were meeting up with more people, what can I get you?” he asked, looking between the boys after he placed Cece and my dishes in front of us.
“I’ll get what she’s having,” Ash said, pointing at my plate. Luke ordered what Cece had and the others came up with something on the menu.
“I don’t want to be the one to bring this up, but I thought you two hated each other, and Luke is on your side now and no one has told us anything so we are really confused. What the hell is going on between you two?” Calum asked after Sam walked away.
“Erm…” I trailed off, looking to Ash and Luke for support.
“Ummmmm,” well this isn’t going to get us anywhere, thanks Ash.
“Ash here, made up a lie,” Luke pointed out. “About Aly and him.” He clarified.
“What’s he talking about?” Cece asked me in a whisper and I held up a finger to her.
“Aly wasn’t lying the other day, she didn’t do it, he did.”
“Did what?” Michael pressed.
“Fuck, I broke up with her when I found out she was pregnant with my child because I was scared and we just found out we were moving to America for the band.” Calum’s mouth dropped open and Michael’s soon followed as Cece let out a gasp beside me. I put my head in my hands while Ash cursed again. “I’m sorry guys, I didn’t know what to do, I was just so scared you would hate me, I already hated myself.” He sounded as if he was about to break done and if I was him I probably would to, especially with the disapproving looks he was getting from Calum and Michael.
“We will talk about this later,” Cece told me quietly when Sam returned with the boy’s dishes and I gulped, I hate having to deal with this again.
The rest of the breakfast went a bit awkwardly as we caught up a bit and I told them more about Mia. Ashton got a phone call, dismissing himself around the same time as Cece. I had to start working so I cleared our table and not too long after the other three left, Michael and Cal apologising about their accusations the other week. I settled into the usual routine, trying to busy myself from all my growing thoughts and emotions.
-Ashton’s POV-
Of course Rihannon had to ruin it. I know that breakfast was pretty awkward but I felt like we all had connected again, the five of us and Cece, she fit in just fine. But no, I was out for too long apparently and my girlfriend was pissed so I had to go home.
The boys took the news surprisingly well but I think it was just an act, they would probably rip into me when we next caught up privately and the thought scared me.
“Why was I so desperately needed?” I groaned as I walked through the door to where Rihannon was sitting on the couch.
“Your card isn’t working, and where were you anyway that was more important than me?”
“I was out with friends, you’ve probably maxed out the card so stop using it.”
“You are such a dick sometimes,” she rolled her eyes.
“I’m such a dick. Do you know what I am dealing with right now? I don’t think so, so can you keep your mouth shut for just a second because I am sick of your whining, ugh.” Oh shit, I totally just blew up on her, I think I have a death wish. “I’m going to get some fresh air.” I grumbled heading towards the door.
“Good luck getting back in dickhead.” She called after me.
“Like I’d want to anyway,” I called back before slamming the door shut behind me, just before Ri let out a scream.
Why do I always have to fuck things up? Why me?
“I’ll be there to take Mia to childcare soon but I’m sick so I’m not going to work today.” Cece’s voice echoed through the phone. “It’s not contagious so don’t stress about that.”
