The Opening Act

Chapter 5- Part 3: Blackouts

Arianna's POV:

        I couldn't stop shaking. The anticipation was killing me, I needed her to arrive now. I can't believe I cheated on Cal. OH MY GOD I CHEATED ON CALUM! If he ever found out he'll kill Michael, he wil kill him. 

        I heard the front door slam shut. "Arianna!" It was Grace! She barged in the room and without saying a word she hugged me extremely tight. I begain to sob. 
        "What happened!" She said as she let go. I couldn't speak.
        "Gracie I- I did s-omething really really bad" I began to studder, I had cried so much that talking became difficult. 

        "What is it Ari, tell me" she yelled.
        " Please don't yell they'll hear us."  I begged.
    "HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO NOT YELL YOU'RE FUCKING CRYING WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND!" She yelled even louder, shaking me from my shoulders. I covered my face with my hands as she tried to force them open. 
        "ARIANNA I'M TALKING TO YOU!"

Calum's POV:

        "ARIANNA PLEASE SAY SOMETHING!" I heard Gracie screaming from her room. I quickly got up form my bed and walked towards the door. I was just about to open it when suddenly I heard the most painful words come out of Ari's mouth.
        "I cheated Gracie, I cheated on Calum."  

        Everything suddenly stopped. I felt a rush of different emotions going up down my whole body. I clenched my fists, trying my hardest not to break into the room. I had to listen to everything. Calm down Calum, just breathe, i kept saying to myself. 
        "Michael told me Grace, he told me he loved me. I- I didnt know what happened but he kissed me and the next thing I know I- I- I'm kissing him back and I-" 
        "Arianna, breathe, please." Gracie said calmly. 
        "I can't Graice! I think...." she paused. "I think the feeling is mutual"

        I had enough, I could no longer hear this conversation anymore. I walked directly towards the hub. There he was. That motherfucker who I called mate. I started breathing heavily and I knew at any moment I would black out. 
        "Hey Cal! The pizza was gr-" My fist traveled directly to his face. "What the fuck is your pr-" He said as I inturrepted him with another swing into his mouth. "SHUT UP!" I screamed as I tackled him into the floor. I managed to get on top of him, I continously began punching him as he protected his face.
        "Calum stop! Ow, fuck. Stop!" He didn't punch me back. He knew he deserved this. 

Luke's POV:

        Ashton and I were having a conversation in my room, when we heard Michael and Calum yelling. We ran into the hub,Cal was on top of Michael, he was covering his face, but not fighting back. Calum was beating the living shit out of Mikey. 
        "Okay break it up!" Ashton tried pulling Calum off of Michael, but he still contiued to beat him. I quickly went in to help Ash, but Calum was extremely heavy. Eventually we managed to get him off of Michael, although he punched ashton in the gut and tried really hard to fight his way to continue beating Michael. 
        "Cal! Calum stop!" Ashton yelled, holding him back from doing anything else. It takes two of us to hold back Calum when he blacks out. Michael just stood there on the floor, croutched into a fetal position while his lip and nose bled. 

        "FUCK YOU MICHAEL! FUCK YOU!" Calum repeatedly yelled. I havent even noticed when Gracie and Arianna had walked into the scene. 
       "Calum!" I said as I held him against the wall with Ash. "Calm down, please. Look at me mate, you need to calm down." Usually I was the one to ease him up, I've been dealing with it for years, I knew exactly how to. It wasn't the first time Calum had blacked out on one of us. 

      "I'm sorry mate." Michael finally spoke.
      "I AM NOT YOUR MATE!" Cal excalimed. Somehow, he managed to break loose and he ran directly towards Michael again.

       "Calum no!" Arianna cried as she jumped towards Michael, wrapping herself around him. I swear I thought that was going to be the end of her life, it was almost like taking a bullet for him, except of course it was a punch. Calum had his fists ready but Instead Calum froze, realizing she was infront of him, he didn't move one muscle. I saw the pain in his eyes as he saw her get infront of him to protect him. Thats when I knew exactly what had caused this terrible mess.

        Calum turned around and walked out like nothing had happened. Ashton went after him to make sure he didn't punch more holes into the walls. 
        I looked at Arianna as she held Michael, carresing his bruised face. "Are you okay?" she said to him. 
        He was bleeding from his mouth. "I deserved that" he whispered.
      Grace quickly ran and bought some towels and a pack of frozen peas. "Here Mikey" she said tossing him the bag. 
        "Michael what the hell were you thinking!" I scolded him. "You know, you're the biggest dumbass I've ever met!" I continued. 
        He simply looked down, allowing me to yell at him. I began to feel bad. I knew he loved Ari, I knew exactly what he felt. "I'm sorry mate. C'mon lets get you rested." I said picking him up from the ground.
     

LATER THAT NIGHT.

ARIANNA'S POV:

        Mikey was hurt, and it was all my fault. I felt like the most dumbest person in the world. How could I let this all happen? My eyes were blood shot red of so much crying. I was scared to talk to Calum, but I had to. I knocked on his door ever so lightly. 
        "Come in" he said. I opened the door slightly and slowly began to make my way towards him. He was sitting shirtless in his bed, using his shirt to wrap it around his bleeding fists. 
        "Cal I-" 

        "I don't want to hear it Arianna." he firmly said. "I heard enough, he kissed you, and you liked it. Thats all I need to know"
        "Calum, I'm sorry." I said, sitting next to him. 
      "You know, I really thought you were special." He grinned. Why on earth is he smiling? I thought. "You're amazing Arianna, in everything you do. I was an asshole before you, a manwhore to be brutally honest. You've changed me Arianna, thank you." He whispered as he carressed my face. "But I don't think I can be with someone who has feelings for my best friend." His words struck me. He was breaking up with me and honestly, I wasn't sure if I was more glad than I wasactually sad. "Go for it." He tapped kissed me and looked into my eyes. "I love you." he said as he let go of my face, walking away. I simply stood there, emotionless. All I could do was think about Michael, my poor Michael.
