Megan's POV

"Riley you have to stop calling me."

"No. We need to talk."

"We don't need to do anything."

"Megan."

"I'm hanging up."

"Do-"

Riley couldn't finish what she was about to say as I quickly hung up the phone. This has been going on ever since that day at the apartment when she tried to kiss me. She's been calling none stop since that day over a month ago but this is the first time I answered, curiosity got the best of me.

If she keeps bugging me I'll have to do something I don't want to, the only reason I haven't is because she hasn't come by since the last time and if she has I haven't seen her luckily.

I don't understand her persistence on reviving something that never was, something herself didn't let happen back then and now when I'm happy, or at least at peace she comes and does that, she's so selfish no wonder she's with Paris, they're perfect for each other.

Anyhow, I continued to walk down the aisle putting every snack that looked good into the cart.

Without looking where I was going I accidentally bumped the cart against another one.

"Oh sorry I wasn't looking," I said and turned my gaze to see the person who I bumped with.

"Don't worry, neither was I."

"Harper?" I said confused as she started to walk away, "Hey wait."

She stopped on her tracks and turned around to face me.

"What do you want firehead?"

I studied her, she looked tired and gloomy. I know her and Summer have been having problems for the last month, I've walked in during some of their fights but I don't know what they're about Summer hasn't been the most talkative person this past month. If it wasn't for me walking in those times I wouldn't have known, Summer is really closed off lately so I rather not push her unless is really necessary.

"Are you okay?"

"You know I'm not," she said wearily.

"I'm sorry things between you two haven't been the best lately." That was the best that I could come up with and I feel like it came out lame.

"So am I, I gotta go." Harper started to go but I again for some reason stopped her.

"Wait!"

She sighed and turned again.

"Tyler and I are going to binge watch some Netflix shows on his appartment all day, so I was wondering if you maybe would like to join us."

For some reason I didn't want her to be alone. She just looks so miserable it made me feel bad, if Summer doesn't want me to help her then the less I can do is help Harper.

"I don't know," she said hesitantly.

"If it's Summer that concerns you, she's not coming."

We asked Summer yesterday if she wanted to join us but she declined saying she had work to catch up with. It sounded more like an excuse but I chose not to said anything.

"Sure why not..." she agreed.

"Awesome! I'm buying the snacks for it, want anything specific?" I said.

She shook her head, "Not really. I have to finish buying some more groceries so I'll meet up with you two later."

"Sure thing. I'll see you later," I smiled.

Harper just nodded and finally walked away this time without me stopping her.

I should call Tyler and let him know she's coming over too but I decided against it. I'll tell him when I go over.

I continued to put some more snacks, theres all kind of trash food in the cart, oreos, hot flaming cheetos, pringles, hersheys, skittles, theres also ice cream and other stuff, I then went and grabbed some bottles of coke and sprite. I decided that I had was more than enough stuff and headed to the cashier to pay for it so I could go to Tyler's.

-

"You outdid yourself with the snacks Meg." Tyler said as he went through all of them, "I also ordered some pizza."

Tyler and I do this every once in a while. It's a day where all we do is laze out and watch shows or movies while we eat every kind of trash food. We always have a fun time when we do it is like our thing. Summer sometimes join us but today she didn't.

"Cool. Hey I need to tell you something," I say.

"What is it?" He asked as he put some blankets pillows on the couch.

Before I can say anything we heard someone knock on the door.

"Give a sec," Tyler goes and opens the door. "Hey Harper! What's up? Summers not here."

Well I guess I don't need to tell him anything anymore.

I walked to the door, "That's what I was going to tell you Ty, I invited Harper."

"Oh." He said realizing, "That's cool the more the merrier, come in."

Harper mumbled a thanks as she came into the apartment.

"Get yourself comfortable," Tyler told her.

She walked towards the couch and sat besides me while Tyler made himself comfortable on the carpeted floor with a blanket, a pillow and a bowl of popcorn.

"So... what are we watching?" Harper asked awkwardly making me chuckle and she gave a weird look.

"Lucifer, I've been wanting to watch it for a while." Tyler responded.

Harper only nodded.

"Have you seen it?" I asked her.

"No. I don't watch much tv."

Now I nodded and turned to watch the tv without saying anything else.

After a while there was a knock on the door again.

"That must be the pizza guy, I'll go get it." Tyler stood up and went.

With Tyler gone I decided to ask Harper something.

"Why are you being so awkward?" She's not usually like this with us so I'm curious.

She shrugged.

"Harper you know just because Summer and you are going through a rough patch doesn't mean you have to be all weird when you're with us."

"I know," she sighed, "I mean... I don't know I just thought you guys would be mad at me or something since Summer is your best friend."

"Nonsense you're still our friend, you're part of the group, even if you and I fight all the time." I chuckled and she did too.

We couldn't continue our conversation as Tyler came back to the room with three boxes of pizza.

"The pizza is here! Good thing I always order a lot," he said, "Here you go ladies."

We all grabbed a slice and resumed the show.

It was now pass midnight and after hours of watching Tyler and Harper fell asleep at some point. Me on the other hand couldn't seem to find any sleep, my mind swirling with thoughts.
