limited || m.c sequel

i didn't sleep until 4 in the morning. and today, i woke up at 10.

i stood up and went downstairs to find mum and ashton whispering to each other but they quickly stopped when ashton saw me.

"morning, dear."

"morning?"

"h-how are you?"

"just fine," i said sarcastically.

"what're you doing today?"

"maybe i'll go out, get some coffee."

"i'll go with ya, maybe we could stop and pick up calum?" ashton said excitedly.

"s-sure. whatever."

"great, we're leaving in an hour."

"whatever."

i went back upstairs and brushed my teeth, and changed. i didn't try to look nice today, but here's my "ootd": gray foo fighters t-shirt, with blue jeans and all black vans. i let my hair hang loosely since today, i really didn't care for anything.

i went downstairs and went on ashton's old iphone5, which is now my phone, that he gave me since he has the 6 now, and my phone is fucked up, badly now.

after 20 minutes of waiting ashton came downstairs and we left.

i was in the backseat when ashton picked up calum.

"hey calzahh," ashton said.

"hi ash. h-hey syd," he said and started turning red. i just rolled my eyes.

when we got to the cafe we sat outside and pretty much "enjoyed" the almost-gray sky.

"s-so syd, how've you been? i-i tried texting you yesterday," calum said as he sipped on his coffee.

"i've been fine," i said lying through my teeth.

"she's been terrible," ashton said out loud.

"that's bad, why?" calum said with his pout that always makes me smile.

i smiled a little then rubbed my eyes.

"just, *sigh* stuff."

"i heard you're single," he said with a giggle.

"y-yeah," i said. today was whatever, i mean i'm not over the breakup or the messages, but i'm just trying to be like whatever.

"great. lunch? you and me--"

"no thanks," i said quickly looking away.

"oh."

i took out my phone and looked on the screen, 5 new messages.

"ashton i think these are for you," i told him as i handed him his phone.

he opened them and his eyes widened.

"uh, i-it's nothing."

"okaaay."

he didn't hand me my phone back.

"syd, uh, mali's home today, w-wanna come over?"

"sure," i said while slightly smiling at him.

he gave me a goofy smile and looked at his hands.

later that day...

"sydney! calum's outside!"

i went downstairs and said goodbye to my mum and ashton.

i went outside and got into calum's mum's car.
