Noah's p.o.v
After we got queen Michael his pumpkin latte, we sat down and started talking.
"Why are you afraid of this guy?" He asks and raises an eyebrow.
"Im not afraid, we're just not on speaking terms. By the way, his name is Calum."
"Alright but if this guy is giving you trouble, sausage finger mikey will punch him." He giggles towards the end.
"Your giggles are so cute." I say in awe.
"Your so cute." He says and immediately blushes. I started to look like a cherry very slowly.
"Did I jusy say that, just forget I ever said that." He rambles making it even more adorable.
I nodded and went back to talking when I saw a familiar face and a strange face. It was Calum and the curly blonde guy, who I think is named Ashton.
"Mikey, he's here." I say and kick his leg from under the table.
"We can't run now so let's just enjoy our starbucks." He says calmly while me on the other hand, am freaking the f.uck out.
Me and Calum make direct eye contact and he comes straight to me. He grabs my arm harshly.
"Let's go...now." He gritted through his teeth. I looked at Michael in plead. I didn't want to go I really didn't. I wanted nothing to do with him right now. Michael got up from his chair and took Calum off me.
"She dosnt want to go, she's staying here." Michael says. Calum was furious, you could see by the way his fist was clenched.
"And who are you." Calum asks. Please don't say Michael, please don't say
"Michael." And he said Michael. I was not ready to see this. I sort of covered my eyes with my hands.
Calum lunged at Michael but he ducked and punched Calum straight in the nose.
"Stop!" I yell trying to end the fight in the middle of starbucks. It didn't help at all. They kept fighting. Michael had Calum pinned against the floor. He repeatedly punched him until I got him off. When Calum got up his nose was bloody and he has a small bruise in his left cheek. I went up to Calum and hugged his torso as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I didnt like seeing him hurt.
"It's alright Noah, I'm okay." He whispered.
"I hate seeing you hurt." I speak into his chest.
When we finally let go I turned to find a emotionless Michael. I felt so bad that he fought Calum for me but here I was hugging him.
"You know what Noah, I'm fu.cking done with you. Call me when you get your head out of your a.ss." He grabbed his jacket and left. I just stood their incapable of doing anything. The only thing I could do was cry and that's exactly what I did.
Calum walked me to his car and I stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. I didn't really want to talk. I hated feeling so weak. I couldn't stay mad at him. He was addicting, no matter how much bad he did to me I would always end up in his arms. Once we got to the house, I ignored El and went straight to my room. I took my phone out in hopes that Mikey had texted or called. He didn't and I could feel my heart shatter slowly.
To: Mikey: Can you meet me at the park we first met at.
From:Mikey: I don't know.
To:Mikey: please don't do this.
From:Mikey: Alright. What time ?
To:Mikey: at midnight. 12:00a.m.
From:Mikey:Alright whatever. Bye.
I left my phone on the bed when I heard knocking. Calum walked in and sat right next to me. He looked at me with pity. That's what I hated. Pity.
"I'm sorry." He said and with that I broke down. He carried me onto his lap and I hid my face in the crook of his neck and let the tears run and run. When I finally stopped crying pur foreheads were touching and we just sat there and stared at each other.
"I'm deeply in love with you, so much that it scares me." He whispers.
"Don't say that. You know it's not true. I'm a unlovable piece of garbage. Who could possibly put up with me."
"Me." He says and quickly kissed me. It was slow and soft. He held me as if he held me too tight I would break. His lips were purely soft. It was like a drug. We pulled apart and I was still on his lap.
"What are we?" He asks.
"Nothing. Just friends" I reply. He left without a word and I was left there confused and depressed. My life would have been better if I never came to visit El. If Dale wouldn't have been jealous and kicked me out of the band. Everything was just turning on me and it was ruining me piece by piece. It's like the bad news never stopped coming.
I checked the clock.
11:45 p.m.
15 minutes until I had to meet up with Michael. I left by my window and started walking. The walk never seemed so long until now. I just wanted to see him, make sure he's okay. When I arrived I saw a figure sitting on the swings and assumed it was Michael. I was right but now his hair was diffrent. Sort of like a galaxy kind of.
"Hi." I said as I sat on the other swing.
"Why are you with him?" He asks
"What do you mean?" I ask
"What I mean is that, one minute you hate him and are running away from him and the next you are all over him. I don't know what's going on with you half of the time." He says softly.
"Neither do I, I wish I knew what was going on with me half of the time but I dont."
"He treats you so bad and I'm so good to you its not fair. When I'm with you I treat you like a princess, even better. I try my hardest but you always end up in his arms. Sometimes I wonder, why did we ever meet. It would have been a whole lot easier. Less heartbreak for me, you know." He said.
"I guess you're right. I'm no good for you. I'm an emotional wreck awnd you deserve way better than me. You should just forget about me. Maybe you'll be better off and find someone who actually treats you like the amazing guy you are." I say softly feeling the tears slowly roll down my cheeks.
"You're right, I should find someone who treats me good, but guess what I want you. I feel as if I was in paradise when I'm around you. I know it's only been 2 months but it feels like a life time. I want you but you're too busy with Calum." He says and his voice cracking along the way.
"Michael I think we should never talk to each other again. I don't want to hurt you anymore." I say silently sobbing.
"If that's what you want." He said and got up and left. I was still there sitting and crying to myself. I messed up everything. All for Calum. Just because of fu.cking Calum.
