What Goes Around Comes Back Around

Like a pack of dogs with their tails between their legs we walked into the room. John had arranged one of the boardrooms here in the hotel. He was sitting at the head of the long stretched table, his face not amused. We all stood there for a moment, boys on one side and us girls on the other, John cleared his throat and we all turned our heads to him.

'take a seat' he sounded a little angry

'so you wanted to meet with us?' Michael started with a visible smirk upon his face

'I did' John nodded, leaning back into the chair and crossed his arms

'well talk' Calum sassed, smirking along with Michael as if this was some sort of game to the both of them

'I'm not your dad guys, so wipe those smirks of your faces' John's voice warned 'I'm doing the talking here and you all stay quiet...I'm having this talk with you, because you four would take the piss out of Adam anyway'

The smirks from Calum and Michael disappeared and changed into a pair of serious ones. The tension was clearly felt by all of us and was uncomforting to us all. The nerves readable on all our faces.

'You guys party way too much' John started and the boys cheered loudly 'shut it' he continued and the boys looked down at the table 'do you lads even take your careers seriously? You want to disappoint your fans and wait on creating this album for a whole year? Do you seriously want that, because if you lads continue the way you act now, you will be going back home and back to school or working at some shitty video shop. If that's what you want, get up and leave the room right this instant'

'but...' Ashton objected

'I said I was doing all the talking...no buts, ifs or maybes. You listen now and questions or arguments can be done after I'm done talking' John spoke angrily 'you show up with cracked voices and think this is normal. There is too much partying going on, you barely rest and you are not even songwriting. I did not hire a different team to give your love lives a boost. Speaking of love lives; Luke'

'yeah' Luke's head shot up, he had been looking at his phone ever since he had sat down.

'Give me your phone' John held out his hand

'no' Luke refused

'you'll get it back after this meeting' John nodded, Luke sighed giving in and handed his phone over to John 'you see, I have to treat you all the way I treat my five year old daughter. I can't handle this right now, I have been hired to make your record within a certain amount of time. I need your A-games not your Z-games' an awkward silence followed

'we don't party that much' Calum said breaking the awkward silence

'you don't party that much? Right, you have got to be kidding me. Every time you lads hit town you manage to create new headlines' John opened the tablet in front of him 'you scroll through this and tell me again that you don't party that much' he pushed the tablet towards Calum, who started swiping away on it.

'Luke you have a girlfriend and manage to get a lot of negative press written about you within just a couple of days. I don't know whether to applaud or be extremely angry at your stupidity' John shifted in his seat, turning his attention to me 'as for you Willow, I want you and Luke to stay when I dismiss the others. I nodded and everyone stood up apart from me and Luke 'sit back down...now...I haven't dismissed you all yet'

'feels like the principals office all over again' Michael whined

'stop the whining, you must have deserved it' Peyton said sticking out her tongue at him

'ENOUGH!' John yelled loudly, we all sat back turning our attention back to John 'why should I let you four stay? Because right now I really don't have any other reason but to let you go'

'because we are the best' Sapphire smirked, I couldn't help, but give her a high five. The boys had started giggling like little schoolgirls, they stopped when John glared at them.

'you are, I admit that. You are just distracting these four on the opposite side of the table' John pointed to the boys 'all you do with each other is flirt around and you don't write any songs'

'Wills has written songs' Luke pointed at me, my face burning up

'that's all her, not mingled with you lot' John stated

'not true' Michael smiled widely 'I helped out yesterday I believe it was'

'good' John nodded 'I want four complete songs by the end of next week, until then I also don't want any other headlines written about any of you' he pointed at every single one of us with a newspaper or whatever he had clutched in his hand 'you are dismissed apart from Luke and Willow'

I was being shot a few good luck looks by the girls as they all left the room one by one. I heard some laughing and giggling, before it went silent as the door shut. Luke's and my eyes met from across the table, I don't think John was too pleased with the little viral leaked pictures.

'you two sort out your problems now' John said 'you bicker, argue, disagree and then make up and then this happens' he throws the newspaper on the table and shoved the tablet towards me and Luke 'pick the one of choice, right now Luke is the one in the deep end of the pool. What the hell were you thinking?'

'I-I..I don't know' Luke stuttered 'I clearly wasn't thinking'

Alright here we go again, he is going to say he loves Kara and all. He wants to be with her and then act the total opposite when he is around me. I couldn't handle the twisted and different attitudes any longer. I let out a deep and long sigh.

'make up your mind Luke. Break-up with her or stay with her, I don't want any other headlines or you breaking the internet anymore'

'yeah' Luke looked down at the table

'what happened last night?' John wondered

'we got drunk' I said stating the obvious

'I know that, but after you left?'

'I don't really remember, I remember them bitches pouring their drinks on me' I thought out loud

'what about those pictures? How did you end up on the beach? Who knew about it?'

'we talked, had a few silent moments and ended up at the beach. Willow refused to walk back to the hotel as it was far. So we kind of fell asleep watching the stars' Luke explained, I raised my eyebrow at him 'you can be an annoying drunk sometimes'

'like you aren't annoying when you had a few drinks' I fired back

'it's not like I'm the one who has a shattered memory because of their drinking habits' Luke laughed

'I'm not an alcoholic Luke. I rarely drink'

'yeah right, that's why you got super wasted last night'

'I might have drank a few too many, because the sight of you and Kara was highly disturbing'

'what is your problem with her anyway?' Luke asked, while John's head bounced back and forth between me and Luke.

'you well know what my problem is with her'

'why won't you tell me what she or any of the others said to you last night'

'like I've said before, ask Kara if you want to know. I bet you she will lie'

'well then tell me now'

'no'

'I'm getting a headache from the two of you. I'll be right back, sort out your differences...' John spoke getting up 'they better be sorted when I get back'

'fine' Luke and I said in unison, the both of us annoyed and frustrated

'good' John smiled and headed out of the room

'so who did you invite to the beach Luke?'

'what do you mean?'

'well since that "let's break the internet together" picture went viral, I guess it's you who invited someone along. So you could create some more headlines for yourself'

'why would I do that?'

'I don't know, Kara seemed perfectly fine with wanting to destroy my life'

'why are you always pointing your finger at Kara?' Luke questioned raising his voice a little.

'in general she is not really a nice person' I bit my lip

'I'm dating her and she isn't that bad'

'no because you give her everything she wants'

'didn't we have this discussion already?'

'I am fairly enjoying it again' I couldn't help but smile at my words

'you are such a pain in the ass'

'your welcome'

'what is your problem Willow...really?...just tell me or just leave with your friends. I am done trying if you don't want to give this a try, you pull me in and push me out just as fast...' I had to stop him there

'I pull you in? It's ME who is pushing you out? Really Luke, really? Because the way I see it, you have created all that yourself. You tell me you love Kara, you tell me you don't love Kara and then here we are again...you defending the little piece of shit she is'

'don't call her that'

'you know what...I'll tell you what she and her little Squad buddies told me' I stood up' resting my palms on the table angrily 'she told me to go rot in hell and to stay away from you. She would make my life a living hell if I didn't, it would be that bad that I wanted to kill myself. Then her little barbies added that I should kill myself anyway and that you are happy to help out with that. That is what they said...go ahead Luke, go ask her what she told me...I'll bet you a million dollars she will lie straight to your face, because you know what. That's the kind of person she is. She lies, she cheats and she gets away with everything she has set her mind to. I am a threat to her, because I'm the only one who can make you start thinking for yourself. I am a threat, because you are still in love with me'

he huffed, folding his arms in a defensive way. I just rolled my eyes and took in a deep breath, I wasn't done yet

'you don't want to admit it, but you basically told me last night. I don't want to like you, but you have been nothing but nice to me ever since I came down here. You make my blood boil from time to time, but you have been nice. Stop being nice to me if you don't mean any of it. Don't play nice if you don't want play with my head, because right now you are playing with my mind. I'm getting fed up with your attitude. You make my head spin for all the right yet all the wrong reasons'

Tears had started to stream down my cheeks and I rushed towards the door, it wouldn't open.
The sneaky shit had locked the door, there was no other option. I was spun around, meeting a pair of soft and warm lips against my cold ones. I just stood there frozen. Letting go of all the troubles Luke and I shared. Frozen, not knowing what to do or how respond, let it go Willow...just let it go

Notes
