Daily Dose of reality

Chapter 8

POV Calum

9:36 a.m.

This own thing doesn't make sense. I thought emily liked me, why would she sleep with Ashton. I didn't know where to go, my house is full destroyed. And I can't go to my best friends house because he's the one who slept with emily. I'm just going to go to Luke's house. I arrive at his house, and sat thinking about everything. "Calum is that you" Luke says with a garage bag in his hand.
"Huh? Oh yeah" I said.
"How was the party last night?" Luke says as get out of the car.
"Rather not talk about it" I say heading up Luke's porch.
"My Mom left with my brothers, so no ones home" luke said.
"I know I said, I wasn't going to talk about it, but it eating me inside" I said.
"Go on" luke said.
"You know how I like Emily right?" I asked even though I knew he knew.
"Yeah what about it?" Luke said.
"Well I know this sound cheesy but I made her a mixtape & I told her how I felt" I added.
"Good for you man" Luke said.
"No not good for me, ashton caught us" Calum said.
"Oh man was he upset?" Luke said.
"Yeah but Why would he be upset anyways?" I asked.
"Calum you don't know?" Luke said.
"Know what?" I asked.
"Ashton is in love with emily" Luke said.
"Wait what?" I said.
"Well to be fair, he told me last month. So I would understand if you didn't know, but yeah he told me how he wanted to break up with Sara because he didn't feel the same connection he felt with emily" Luke said.
"Wait does everyone know about this but me?" I asked.
"Well you liked emily since forever, so why would ashton tell you?" Luke said.
"Still he shouldn't have slept with her" I said.
"Wait he slept with Emily?" Luke said.
"Yeah I found emily in ashton's bed this morning" I confirmed.
"What about Sara?" Luke said.
"Shit I forgot, that messed up sleeping with someone when you have a girlfriend" I said.
"Fucking idiot" Luke said.
"Sorry my French"
"It's okay, but what should I do" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe just talk to him?" Luke said.
"Yeah I should" I say heading turns the door.
"Later mate" Luke yells as I leave him humble home.

"So ashton is in love with Emily" I say in my head a million times. How could I have been so blind. All this time when I would talk about emily & how perfect she is & when ashton would be like "yeah she's great". I always figured he said that because they are like best friends not more. Ugh I feel so stupid.
I take a turn to ashton street, and surprisingly spot ashton out on his porch. I drove in his drive way to the sound of ashton yelling "Calum man I'm sorry". "It's okay man, Luke just told me. Why didn't you tell me you were in love with Emily?" I say while getting out of the car.
"How could I, I knew you like her?" Ashton said.
"Yeah mate but you lover her. I would have backed out" I said.
"For the Record I didn't sleep with Emily, she just stayed the night. But I promise My lips never touch hers" Ashton said.
"Well that's a relief" I said awkwardly laughing.
"Mate what are we going to do?" Ashton said.
"Back off" I said.
"Wait what?" Ashton asked.
"You have a girlfriend, but I'm single" I said.
"Dude I'm going to break up with Sara right now, she is coming over" Ashton said.
"Yeah like your going to actually break up with her" I said.
"Yeah I am to be in fact" Ashton said while putting his face in my face.
"You're a pussy!" I yelled.
"Excuse me?" Ashton said with anger.
"You heard me, how the fuck do you think your going to tell angel face that you are leaving her for you Emily?" I yelled.
"Your just mad, that Emily actually CARES FOR ME!" Ashton yelled.
"Yeah but I care for her more than you ever will" I yelled. I do believe this is true, I mean who made her a mixtape?
"BULLSHIT!" Ashton yelled
"I'm been in love with her, since the day... I can't even remember because it been so long" Ashton said.
"Well if that's true, then why didn't you just tell her now that you care for her?" I asked.
"Because, I didn't think she care the same" Ashton said.
"Fuck why are we fighting over a girl" I said.
"Because she's special" Ashton says looking down. Man he really does care about her, I'm such a prick.
"I'm sorry mate" I said.
"I'm sorry also" Ashton said.
"I think-" I got interrupted by the sound of Sara car pulling in.
"Well to the sound of that, I'm going to go. Good luck man" I said.
