It's complicated

Chapter 28

-Graces POV-

Luke sits there with me for a little bit, not saying anything but an occasional "Shh," as he rubs the small of my back. I lean up off of him and look him in the eyes, "What happened?"

"Well, you remember Crystal," I ask and he gives a small nod, "Her friend j-j-Jessi h-hoo-hooked up with c-c-Calum," I hiccup out. The tears start streaming again and Luke pulls me back into his chest. He mumbles something about Calum into my head.

Then, he takes me and pulls me off of him. Holding onto my shoulders and looking me straight in the eyes, Luke says to me, "Look, I know it hurts, Grace. Especially since it happened with Matt, but like you found out with Matt, he's not worth it. It might take some time, but you will get over it. In the mean time, I'm going to go kill Calum," he finishes and smiles at me.

I smile back, "But, where am I gonna sleep?" Luke scrunches his eyebrows at me, obviously confused, "Calum, uh, slept in my bed last night."

"F***boy," Luke whispers, causing me to laugh. "You can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep in Calum's, and Calum can have yours."

I nod at him and fall back into his chest. He hugs me tight and I fall asleep in his embrace.

-Calum's POV-

When Grace slammed the door, Michael and Ashton walked out of their shared room.

"What was that about, mate?" Ashton asks as he flops down next to me on the couch. I have my head in my hands, elbows on my knees, and my right knee is bouncing as fast as it can.

"Calum?" Michael says as he shakes my shoulder.

"Apparently, I cheated on Grace last night. And now we are over." I say and blankly stare at the wall, doing my best to hold the tears back.

"Apparently?"

"I can't remember." I say and get up. I walk over to where Grace threw the ring and see it, haphazardly leaning against a vent. I grab it and slide it onto my pinky, the only finger it will fit on.

"Well, what kind of cheating?" Michael asks me.

"You remember Crystal?," I ask and they both nod, "Well, apparently I slept with her friend, Jessi." I say and their jaws drop. My headache starts to come back, and not just from the hangover, "I know, I know I'm an idiot. But, I was drunk and I don't even remember doing it or what Jessi looks like. So, you think Grace might come around?"

"I doubt it, sorry mate. But, since Grace went through it with Matt, I doubt she's gonna take another chance with you. Considering you slept with another girl." Ashton tells me, just a little too harshly.

"Thanks for the honesty." I say and roll my eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry but it's the truth. That was a f***boy move. But you know what's funny?" Ashton asks and I just want to scream that nothing can be taken as funny right now.

"What?" I ask, not even really paying attention.

"Well, Grace knew about me and Gabby before I told you guys and she said the exact words: "'Don't hurt her. Sorry, but seriously, Ashton, don't hurt her. I know you're a good guy, but being on tour can make you do stupid things. So, no getting drunk and cheating on her or something stupid."

Then Michael pipes up, "Oh, the irony."

I flip him off and rub my temples. How could I be so stupid? I broke the promise. I loved her. She was the perfect girl. And I cheated on her. That's the stupidest mistake I've ever made. And now, the love of my life is gone.
