Here to stay

---------------------------------------------"It hurts to know your happyAnd it hurts that you moved on"-Five seconds of summer---------------------------------------------

Here you are, minding your own business, doing your thang when...

He calls.

Ryan.

Why? You don't know.

"Ugh? Hello?" Ryan's husky deep voice echoes into your phone... You can see his him...Beautiful green eyes, long face, blond hair. Nothing likes Thomas' bed hair though-Wait why are you comparing him and Thomas?

"Ryan?" You mutter

Your lying in your bed, it's only 8:22am and you've got Netflix on. You feel hot, not the nice feeling. The opposite feeling, like when you do something wrong and your mum gets really mad, and you try covering up but- but your vision goes blurry and you can't breath properly.. Or maybe that's just the way you act when your in 'sticky' situations...

"Yeah, Lara?" He sounds grim

"Ryan?" You temporarily forget how to use other words

"Yeah it's me? Lara?" He doesn't stop for you to answer "I need to ask you a really important question. And I promise you it was not my idea... You know how Taresa and you used to be friends?" You can hear him fumbling with something

Ah Taresa. That horrible girl. You can't believe you actually ever called her your 'friend'...

"What is it?" You ask

"Well. We're getting married..." He stutters

You have been way over Ryan for a while now, nearly a whole year but. This really hurt... You feel tears straining at your eyes, begging to be released.

"Good for you." You say bluntly ignoring your tears.

"And" he coughs "she wants you to attend. I think she really means well Lara, she just wants us all to be friends? I mean, she's not trying to be rude, she said she's just sick of all this "hardship"" he coughs again

You heart stops and you feel like a thousand daggers are ripping your chest apart, your remaining breaths cave into your lungs and you start to sob. Intensely.

Your burst into tears, so many it's overwhelming. He hears you. And says something you can't hear.

You quickly hang up and continue to fight the long losing battle with your emotions...

After about fifteen full minutes of intense crying, you wipe your eyes and sit up in your bed. Your pillows soaked.

You feel an overwhelming sadness spread from your head to your stomach. Like an emptiness. You just want to call Dylan and tell him everything, but he's at work.

You decide on calling Katie, one of your closest friends. She lives in Winnipeg. Canada.

You dial her number and it starts ringing...

After the second ring she answers.

"Lara?" Katie asks

"Yeah it's me..." You reply through a few more tears

"Are you alright babe?" She sounds concerned

"Yeah I just- When are you free"

"What's today?" She asks, obviously very preoccupied

"Monday."

"Ugh- well I'm doing about five photos shoots this week, and next week I've got two more. I'm probably free maybe, Thursday next week?" She shuffles

"Oh, yeah sure? Are you free anytime tonight maybe?" You desperately need to see her

"No sorry sweetheart, I've got a meeting...." She mutters "'Choose Modelling' they said, 'it'll be fun' they said..." She laughs a little

This instantly makes you smile, she always cheers you up!

"Ha okay, I'll see you later then Katie" you smile

"Okay! Cya Hun!" She hangs up quickly, clearly very busy

You turn Netflix up and end up watching some show about a couple, married and happy. You quickly shut off the tv and get up out of bed.

You really want to talk to Dylan, even if it's only for a few minutes!

As your walking into your bathroom you get his contact up and press call

First ring- come on Dyl!

Second ring- please...

Third ring- DYLAN!

Fourth ring- it's no use he's too busy-

"Hello?" You hear his voice boom into your phone

"Dylan! Are you busy?" Your so happy to hear his voice

"Ah, well us guys have about an hour off before we come on set again. Why?" He asks

"Whose us guys?" You ask ignoring his question

"Well, Ki just left so me and Tommy. But why?"

Thomas...

"Can you come over? Please, I need to talk to you?!" You plead with him

"Um, yeah but Thomas would be coming too, bro code- can't leave a bro for a hoe" he obviously regrets his the last words and tries to say something but you interrupt

"Um? Excuse me?" Your getting short

"No no!! I didn't mean it like that?! Prooooomise! I meant I can't just ditch him, you get me?"

"Whatever Dylan, I don't care if he comes just hurry!" You hang up

Do you really want Thomas to see you like this? Why does he have to come?!

You look at your reflection in the bathroom mirror. Hideous. You grab some moisturiser and rub it all over your face until it becomes soft.

As you walk back into your bedroom and grab the handle to your walk in wardrobe, you grab out the nearest Tye dye t-shirt, sweat pants and globe socks.

Tye dye is your lifeline...

There's a loud knock on the front door and you know it's them.

Walking into the living room you realise Dylan didn't wait to knock he just waltz right in. He sees you and runs over and gives you a huge bear hug, he can tell your upset!

Tears stain your cheeks and Dylan realises you've been crying.

"Sit down now and tell me everything?!" He motions for you to sit down

"Are you alright Lara?" Thomas yells running through the door

"Yeah I'm fine" you really don't want Thomas seeing you like this, you shield your face

Dylan sits next to you and Thomas sits on the opposite side, placing his hands on your back...

Even if your ashamed you enjoy Thomas' company and your glad he's here

"Well your not fine Lara! Tell me, I'm- we're her for you" he corrects himself hugging you

"If you don't want me here Lara that's fine!" Thomas says

"No! No stay!?" Your surprised at how much you want him there?

"Always..." He replies...

Oh my-

"Woah woah! Thomas stop trying to get into my best friends pants!!" Dylan yells "and Lara! Stop inviting him!" He adds before coping a massive punch in the stomach, given by Thomas himself

You can't help but smirk and laugh a little inside

"Okay I'll stop getting in your GIRLFRIENDS pants Dylan" Thomas winks

"I'll kill you man!" Dylan distracts himself "anyway LARA! What. Is. Wrong?"

"It was Ryan, he called me..." You look down

"Oh crap" Dylan sighs

"Is that they guy who cheat-" Thomas asks

"Yes." You quickly add before he even says the word

"Why did he call you?" Dylan sounds really concerned

"Because he's getting married to Taresa.."

Dylan winces.

"Jerk" says Thomas under his breath, barely audible

"Damn right" Dylan adds

"That's not what's bugging me though..."

"Oh no" Dylan looks at Thomas "we can guess"

"But why would she want me to? Why would he even ask me?" More tears escape your eyes and you suddenly stand up and walk into your room. You definitely do NOT want Thomas seeing you like this!

You hear them both running after you but you shut the door, not locking it, you run your back down your wardrobe wall sobbing.

Dylan opens the door and sits next to you, cradling you in his arms, he looks up to Thomas who stands helplessly at the door

"Chocolate and titanic now!" Thomas understand and runs off

"I'll get the tissues" Dylan smile and walks into your bathroom

Your still crying, not as intensely. Suddenly your tears turn from tears of sadness to tears of happiness and your so thankful Dylan, and Thomas are here for you.

Thomas comes back in with a Hershey's chocolate and the Titanic movie.

"There were about twenty different chocolates so I just grabbed the closest one..." He smiles and hands you the chocolate

You go and sit on your bed, next to Dylan. Thomas joins you and they both wrap your arms around you. This sends tingles up your spine, being so close to Thomas felt; Felt natural, and it made you happy.

"I love you guys" you say, deliberately looking at Thomas

He notices this and hugs you tighter, Dylan just chuckles...

-2 hours later-

Titanic credits roll on and your cheeks are wet...

"That is the most saddest, beautiful movie, I have ever seen!" Dylan fake sobs

They both pretend to sob, imitating little girls.

"I hate you both!" You say between little happy tears

You've cried so much today! So much so that you won't need to cry again for at least a whole year!

You absolutely love having Dylan around, he's so much fun! You wish your girlfriends were here, but all live at least a plane trip away...

"Okay now that terrible movie is over" dylan laughs

"Let's go to the pub!" Thomas gets up from your bed

"Uh gosh" you sigh and sink into your bed

"Why can't you guys just be like girls?" You add pulling the covers over your face

"Because girls are overrated!" Says Thomas putting his head in the covers

"Ohlala!" Yells Dylan

You hear him wince and cough, Thomas must have punched him?

"Okay okay! I'll go! Just stop punching my friend Thomas!" You try to look at Thomas with an angry look, but you both end up laughing

"Yes ma'am!" He bows politely

You walk over to your wardrobe. What to wear- what to wear ? Your fingers run over all the soft fabrics. Blacks, blues, purples, reds, yellows, greens...

You finally settle on a black top that you've had since you were fourteen. It says 'Young and Famous' on it. You grab out some nice jeans and your converse.

"Fabulous!" Dylan says, sassily

"Erm yeah, I need to get changed..." You say politely

Thomas is already out the door and Dylan follows, closing it.

----Thomas's POV----

Dylan closes the door behind him.

I find my way towards her couch. Her apartment is so bloody nice!

"You so like her man!" Dylan whispers behind me

"Shut up, no way!" You blush

"Well are you going to ask her out?" Dylan nudges me, I sit down

He plops down next to me and pretends to comfort me

When I don't answer he continues anyway

"She's a hard one to crack but, I recon she likes you too man!" He smiles

"No she bloody doesn't! I have no chance Dylan?!" I feel like crap.

"Well technically you shouldn't have a chance, but she likes you! She hasn't told me but, she does!" He gets up and walks towards her room,

"What the eff are you doing?" I get up after him,

"Going to ask her out for you?"

I walk over to Dylan and grab him by the hem of his shirt

"Do that buddy, and you'll be eating marmite for the rest of the thing you call 'life', got it?" You let go of his shirt and he laughs

"Ew, you British and your marmite! Hey! She's Australian? You technically copied her, cause she was the first to eat what they call 'Vegemite'. But then you Brits came along and called it marmite.. Stupid!"

Dylan is CLEARLY being an idiot and talking about crap no one cares about. So, I punch him in the gut and walk over to Lara's door...

Dylan follows and we punch each other up, play fighting. Until I get preoccupied with Lara and ask her if I can come in.

-----Lara/Your POV-----

You hear shuffling outside your room, you've changed but your putting mascara on when he knocks

"Hey can I come in?" It's Thomas...

"Ah, yeah sure?" You quickly chuck your mascara on your bed

He opens the door and just stands there. Concerned face, bushy bed hair. Brown eyes trained to kill.

You feel like screaming at him.. He's so GORGEOUS !

"Sorry, Dylan was annoying the bloody crap out of me!" He looks at the floor

"No! That's fine-" you start to say

"Hey guys, I'm going to get Ki and Will, maybe even Aml. So I'll be back before twelve.. Maybe? Forget about the pub, that can wait, let's just have a night in? But don't do anything gross! I don't want to find my best friend pregnant when I come back!" You hear Dylan close your front door...

"I hate that kid" mutters Thomas

"Me too" you sigh "anyway, what's the time?"

"Ah" he checks his phone, "nine fifty.." He smiles

"What are we going to do if the pubs cancelled?" You ask him. You know why Dylan left you too. He's so annoying sometimes. But you still love him,

"We could watch movies... Or Netflix?" He smiles and redirects himself to your bed

"Netflix?" You say

"Yes bloody please!" He giggles

You laugh "want anything to eat Thomas?" You start walking out of your room

"I'm okay thank you!"

You walk into the kitchen and grab the Doritos sitting on the kitchen table. You stroll back into your room, taking a few seconds outside your door to calm down...

Oh my- crap- sugar- hell

Thomas Sangster. Is sitting. On your. Bed. And. No. One. Else. Is. Here. Just. You. And. Him...

Your breaths are deep and you feel like your going to faint!

You hear him humming inside your room and decide to listen...

"...Dirty paws and fury coats...."

He hums the rest but you know the song instantly. One of your favourite!

Dirty Paws, Of Monsters and Men.

The song must be on the telly...

You walk in and he quickly goes quite blushing.

You chuck the Doritos across the room, Thomas catches them and opens them immediately and starts eating

"Woah save some for me?!" You run over to your bed and jump onto it, nearly jumping on him. Thomas lays, head up, lying on my bed. You place my head on his thighs, and grab the chips from his hands and watch Netflix.

It's really nice being in this position with Thomas, the chemistry between you is perfect and you feel completely comfortable with him,

"Let's play a game" he suddenly says not moving

"What game?" You ask shifting your head and looking up at him

"It's like 21 questions but different... You just ask each other questions" he smiles at you

"Okay. You go first" you flick Netflix off and concentrate on him. This position is slightly weird, considering your head is on his legs and he's sitting up thinking hard,

"Favourite colour? Ever?" He smiles

"Ocean blues" you smile back

Your stomach loosens and the butterflies come back. You feel a hardcore attraction to this man. Why does he make you feel so-

"Do you maybe want to go get something to eat?" He shuffles and starts to blush

Did he just ask you on a date? OH MY GOSH!! Why is it that when you play question games, you never get to ask him the question? But still, a date?

"You mean, like a-" you start

"Date.." He interrupts

You think for a minute, then check the time- 11:39pm

"At eleven forty at night?" You sit up, eye level to him, and giggle.

"Well we could go get takeaway or something? I'm not sure. I just wanted to finally ask you.." He stops

"Finally?" You ask

"Oh. Yeah I've wanted to ask you for a while, but if you don't want to that's fine!" He blushes and giggles

"No!- I mean, yes. I'd love to get some takeaway with you Thomas" you blush also and look at your bed

"Maybe we should just stay here? I mean, the guys will be here sometime soon so... I like this, this is nice. Your nice" he smirks

"Your nice too" you blush and chuckle

He takes this as an invitation to lean in... He gets really close to you and you look up at him.

As soon as you do he plants a huge kiss on your lips...

If just seeing him sent spiders up your back, than this sent explosions through your whole body!

You kiss back. Passionately.

He pulls away,

"Okay we should definitely just stay in..." He smiles

All you can do is giggle, Thomas freaking Brodie cutie Sangster just kissed you!!

You can't breath, oh my lord. Oh my. Oh.

Your not sure if he's saying he wants something more than.. Well, kissing but your so not ready! Thankfully you'll never know because you hear a thoroughly loud knock at your door and pull away from Thomas who was cradling you.

You walk through your room and into the living room. You quickly stop and listen to the voices outside the door:

Dylan: I bet their kissing and hugging and being cute and doing gross stuff

Will: do you think we gave him enough time tell her?

Ki: yeah plenty

Dylan: well, you know Thomas. He takes forever to reveal his feelings, his mushy gross feelings!

Will: do you think Lara even likes him too?"

-What does he mean? Does Thomas like you that way?- you quickly lean in to listen again, missing half of Dylan's sentence

Dylan: -cute and she knows it!

Ki: where do you think there first date will be? *laughs*

Will: McDonald's hahahah!!

They all laugh

Dylan: awe man... I'm sooooo hungraayy

Ki: yeah talking about food, where the eff is Lara?

Dylan: probably making babies with Thomas?!

Will: but srsly guys!"

Ki: what?

Will: what if she doesn't like him, he could be making the biggest fool of himself!

Dylan: I'm going to save him-

Dylan swings the door open, whacking you right in the nose.

Pain rips through your face and you fall down on the ground,

Just before you can scream out in pain your eyes close shut and you fall unconscious...+++++++++++

Author: DONT PANIC! It was a stupid Dylan moment, Lara/ you survive trust me :,)

Hope your all happy! Just a quick question!!!!
