     𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀 was seated between Luke and Maddy, across from them sat Calum and Maggie as the ten of them sat at the table, celebrating Calum and Andrea's 23th birthday.

"Happy birthday!" Michael shouted as the rest of the clapped and cheered along, Andrea shook her head, as she laugh watching Ashton jokily pretended to ash the cake in Calum's face. For a moment when the Maori boy glanced over towards the brunette, his world stop, seeing the smile he had fallen in love with.

Andrea cleared her throat, causing Calum to snap out of this trace, "I'm so bad at speeches but thank you for coming," she spoke, raising her glass towards him, "your turn, cal."

The Maori boy nodded, sipped his hands on his pants, grabbed the glass, lifting it up in the air, "where do I started, right. Thank you all for coming," he spoke, "glad to have you all by our sides for another year!" He turned towards the blonde grabbed her hand in his, "thank for you for being so sweet and welcoming her, love you guys."

They clapped as Calum placed a kiss on Maggie's cheeks causing the brunette to gulped, her eyes trailed off. Sierra's smile faded as soon as she felt Andrea's mood change, nudging the blonde beside her, she nodded towards her. Luke's eyes soften as he saw the brunette awkwardly playing with her hands, trying to looking anywhere but the newly couple. His eyebrows narrowed at the blonde, who was staring right at the brunette, glaring a bit.

Luke stood from his seat, making his way towards the brunette, instantly wrapping his arms around her, "happy birthday, nibbles," he whispered in her ear, "I love you so much."

"Thanks, Lu."

Andrea rested her head on his shoulders, a soft smile placed on her lips but soon faded away as she glanced over towards Maggie. The brunette awkwardly cleared her throat, "I'm just gonna head to the bathroom, Lu."

Nadia stood up, "I'll go with you Andy."

The brunette glanced between the two of them before slowly nodding, the two friends made their way into the bathroom, "did you see the way she was staring at you?" Nadia questioned, closing the door.

Andrea nodded.

"You okay, Andy?" Nadia questioned, the brunette nodded her head. Taking a deep breath in, she plastered on a fake smile.

"Nadia, you should head back," Andrea softly spoke, "I'm gonna head home soon."

"Andy, it's your birthday," Nadia stated, "fuck Maggie and all her blondness, be a bad bitch and go on that dance floor and dance your heart out."

Andrea chuckled as she shook, "I'm just not feeling well," she lied, "probably something I ate."

Nadia hummed as she nodded, "okay, then. Feel better."

Andrea nodded, a thankful smile on her face as she followed Nadia out towards the table. The brunette girl had gathered her things, Luke's eyebrows knitted together, "where are you going?"

"I'm not feeling very well, Lu," She softly muttered, throwing her bag strap over her shoulder. "Tell Calum, I'll see him at the apartment."

Andrea wanted to go off to the studio. That's where she had been for the past few days after recording Wondering. She had made sure no one knew that, the studio was her little get away place when Maggie was over. It wasn't because Andrea didn't like Maggie, it was the fact that Maggie hated her from the began.

Even when Andrea want start a conversation with the blonde girl, Maggie would always give her a blunt response and brushed Andrea off.

Luke nodded as he brought the brunette into his arms and kissed the top of her head, he placed his keys to his apartment, "bye, love you, nibbles," he mumbled, waving her goodbye as as she walked away from the group.

Calum's eyebrows knitted together in confusion as he watched the brunette wonder off into the crowd with her bag, "Calum," Maggie whined, "come dance with me?"

"Give me a sec, Mags," Calum muttered as he walked over towards Maddy, tapping her on the shoulder, she turned around, "where did Andy go?"

Maddy's eyebrows furrowed together as she glanced over at the table and not finding her there. Her eyes searched the area they were in, "I don't know," Maddy mumbled, letting go of Ashton's hand, "why'd she leave?"

Maggie rolled her eyes, making her over towards the Maori boy, "Cal, please?" She pleaded.

Calum sighed, shaking his head, "fine," he told her, taking his hand in hers.

"I'll try and find her," Maddy whispered in his ear before he was pulled away from them.

Andrea squeezed her way through the crowed room, making her way towards the exit. Once she had reached it, she glanced back towards her friends, a soft smile present on her face as she watched them having fun. She glanced before pushing the doors open and making her way towards her black jeep.

𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀 twisted Luke's key, letting her in his apartment. That's where she's been spending most of her time in since Calum had gotten with Maggie. Andrea couldn't bear to be in the same room as them, I just that's the price you pay when you don't tell someone you love them more than a friend.

Flopping down on the piano, her fingertips brushed along the set of keys. Pressing down on the keys to make a little melody, she hummed to it, her eyes fluttered shut as she took a deep breath.

"Take all of me," she began, her fingertips pressing down on the keys as she continued, "deep where your secrets hide, my darling. Where we've been here a thousand times," she whispered.

Andrea sighed as she stood up from the piano, glancing around Luke's living room, her eyes scanned the picture frames that hang all over his wall, smiling softly as her eyes traveled to each different ones.

Photos of them back in high school with their groups of friends, all hanging out having fun. She missed that, she missed them. She missed their annual BBQ on Saturdays, hearing the boys practice for their small concerts with Maddy and Tullie. She smiled at the memories.

Andrea made her way over towards the conch, throwing over a blanket before flipping the television on and waited for Luke and Sierra to come home. She was thankful that Luke had let her stay in his apartment recently.

Andrea's brown eyes never leaving the television until her phone buzzed beside her, her eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she glanced down.
