I Met Him Online // Malum

Chapter 7

"You like me back?!?" 

"Yep :)" 

"I didn't expect you to like me back." 

"Well I do, so with that being said, do you want to be my boyfriend?" 

"I'm sorry... but no...." 

-Calum

I read Michael's text over and over again, getting more sad the more I read it. Michael doesn't want to be my boyfriend, but why? He said that he liked me, so why doesn't he want to be with me? Am I not good enough for him? Am I ugly? Did he just lie to me saying that he liked me? I had a lot of questions running through my head, making me get a headache. 

"But why not? I thought you liked me?" 

"I do! A lot! Trust me, I do!" 

"Then why don't you want to be with me?" 

"It's just that your my only friend...and like what if we got into a fight and broke up? I don't want to loose you...I don't want to loose our friendship..."  

"I thought you were friends with Ashton?" 

"I am, but Ashton's moving back to Sydney by you, to be with some guy named Luke that he's dating." 

"Wait! Luke and Ashton are dating?!? But I thought that Ashton was straight!" 

"Nope, he's definitely gay. He loves dick, like a lot.'" 

"Wow, I didn't expect that. Why didn't Luke tell me?!? He's my best friend! He's supposed to tell me these things!" 

"Idk....So when Ashton leaves your all that I have left, and I don't want to loose you..."  

"Okay" 

"I'm really sorry... I want to be with you... I just don't want to risk it. Do you understand?" 

"Sure" 

"Cal... Don't be upset please.." 

"I'm not." 

"Yes you are." 

"Look I have to go." 

"Calum please! Don't go! I'm so sorry!"  

"You don't have to be sorry... Nobody ever wants to be with me.." 

"Don't say that! I do, but I just cant!'" 

"Bye..." 

"Cal :(" 

Michael kept texting me, but I ignored him and I turned off my phone so it would stop buzzing. I threw my phone at the wall and tears streaming down my face. I really really like Michael and knowing that he likes me too but just wants to stay friends makes me sad. I wanted him to be my boyfriend. I wanted to be with him, but I guess that will never happen.

-Michael

Calum wouldn't answer any of my texts. No matter how many I sent, he won't respond. He probably hates me now. I should have never even told him that I liked him because then this wouldn't be happening right now. I probably just lost my one and only friend. How am I supposed to get him back?
