100 Reasons Why (Ashton Irwin)

Apologies

Apologies

Annabelle POV

Michael has been upstairs for about four hours now. Calum and Jenna are desperately waiting for him to come downstairs. Amelia texts him occasionally, to check up on him. Meghan, Luke, Ashton, and I are all sitting on the couch, talking, waiting for something to happen.

"Okay, how come the flu has a season?" Ashton asks.

"Why are yawns are contagious?" I ask.

"Why and how do you get that feeling when someone is watching you?" Luke wonders.

"Why are bad words bad?" Meghan asks.

We continue asking random questions that no one has the answer to, until Amelia shuts us up. "Yes!" She yells.

"What?" I ask.

"I convinced Michael to come downstairs."

"He's not gonna punch me, is he?" Calum asks.

"Are you fucking crazy? No he's not punching you, he's not that mad, or that much of an asshole."

"Okay, sorry."

Michael slowly walks down the stairs then. He glares at Calum and Jenna, then walks over and sits in between Ashton and Amelia.

"Michael, hi." Jenna says to him.

"Hey." He answers and then no one speaks. It's really awkward for a good half an hour. After a long time awaited, Calum finally speaks up.

"Michael, I just want you to know that we're very sorry. We honestly wanted to tell you the entire time, we just didn't think it was right. We know now that keeping it from you guys was fucking stupid. Do you forgive us?" Calum says to him.

"I'm being selfish, aren't I? Shouldn't I be happy that you told us, and that you regret your decision? The only thing I'm focusing on is what you didn't do, instead of what you did do." Michael says.

"No, not at all, Michael. You have every right to feel like this. You should be mad at us, and honestly I'm surprised that you were the only one that was mad." Jenna says.

"Yeah, but that's the thing. I'm the only one that was mad, they were all fine with it. They were happy you told us now, they respected your decision. I didn't. I yelled at you."

"Michael, I wasn't too happy when they first told us. It did hurt my feelings that they thought what they did, but I got over it. There's not much we could have done. That's the decision they made, it was done. So I just let it go." Meghan says.

"I'm just saying that I'm so sorry I yelled at you. I shouldn't have done that."

"It's okay, honestly. We're sorry we kept it from you." Jenna says and the three of them hug. The door opens and in walks Mr. and Mrs. Hood, along with Mali. They were out, spending sometime with each other and giving the eight of us some time.

"What just happened here?" Mrs. Hood asks.

"Nothing." Michael says. At the same time, Calum speaks.

"We told them we were dating." He says.

"You told them?" I ask.

"My mother would whoop my ass if I didn't."

"You're right, I would have. And if you going to continue cursing, I will, too."

"Sorry, Mom." Calum quietly says.

"So, how does it feel it have that off your chest, Calum?" Mali asks.

"It feels amazing, actually. I was so guilty hiding it."

"Well, I'm just happy you told them."

"So am I." We all say, all eight of us. We go into a fit of hysterics, all laughing at the incredible occurrence.

"I guess that's a good way to start off a new year, right?" Mr. Hood says.

"Oh my God, I completely forgot it was January 1." Milly says.

"What day did you think it was?" I ask her.

"It didn't occur to me, I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking about that, it wasn't my main worry. Sue me!"

"I will!" I say.

"Wait don't, because I know you'll go after that red dress of mine."

"I love that dress."

"I know, and you can't have it!"

"Okay anyway, I'm going to feed you and then you'll be off."

It was definitely good way to start the year.
