IS IT LOVE? CTH

"But I think I love her..."

I quickly shot off my bed and ran into the living room. I stopped in the door way to see Scott talking to Calum with a huge grin on his face, Cal was obviously telling him the good news. Scott spotted me and his grin became wider.

"SCOTTTTTTT" I screamed at the tip of my lungs, charging towards him.

"MIAAAAAAA" Scott shouted back holding his arms out, Calum swiftly moved out of the way as he saw me running. I ran into Scott's open arms and jumped onto him, he caught me and I tightly wrapped my arms around his neck, my legs locked around his waist and his arms supported under my bum.

"I can't believe I'm actually coming on tour!" I said excitedly.

"I know, I'm so happy! We won't need to separate after all!" Scott said.

We both stared at each other smiling widely, Scott lean forward and placed a gentle caring kiss on my forehead.

"I love you Mia"

"Good, cause I love you too" I said firmly.

Calum cleared his voice loudly marking his resistance, I heaved myself off Scott, flattened my crumpled t-shirt and turned to Calum who was hugging his elbows.

"If you've stopped being all over each other in Scott and Mia land then the boys will be over soon." said Calum tiredly.

"Alright well I will finish making the cuppa's then, I got sugar and a few other bits" said Scott picking up the plastic shopping bag and making his way into my kitchen.

I flopped onto my arm chair and Calum paced around the room clutching his grey iPhone.

"Why are you so anxious Cal?" I asked innocently.

He gave me a death stare which silenced me.

"Scott?" I called.

"Yeah?" he called back.

"The shop is only down the road why were you taking forever?" I quizzed.

He came in with three cups of tea handing one to me and Calum then keeping one for himself.

"Well..." he said sipping his tea. "You know Joanna?"

"Oh yeah I know her, she works at the shop" I replied.

"Well the reason I was so long was because we got taking and realized we had a lot in common. She's so beautiful and lovely Mia! She's going the the Liverpool concert and I asked her if she wanted to go for dinner when we are in Liverpool and she said yes, I got her number and stuff, I haven't been on a date in ages Mia!" Scott rushed out.

"Aw Scott I'm so happy for you!" I said hugging him tightly.

Then there was loud multiple knocks on my door and 3 familiar voices.

"Let us in Mia!"

"Got any food?"

"I'm going to bash your door down and steal your cat!"

I pulled away from Scott giggling and jogged towards my food and opened it, Luke, Ashton and Michael stumbled into my apartment.

"So who's going to bash my door down and steal my cat?!" I asked chuckling.

Michael stepped forward "I just love cats" he shrugged with the biggest smile on his face.

"Alright well get in" I said pushing them towards the living room. I shut my door and walked into my rather crowded living room. Calum was on the sofa talking to Ashton, Luke and Scott were in their own conversation and Michael was stroking my cat in the corner of the room.

"Guess who's coming on your with us?" Calum spoke smirking in my direction, making me blush.

"Olivia?" Ashton sighed. "We all know, you told us the first minute we announced the tour!"

Calum blushed angrily. "No not Olivia, someone we ALL like" snapped Calum glaring in Ashton's direction, ignoring the rest the lads laughs and grins.

"MIA!" shouted Scott.

"Really?" the boys said excitedly.

"Yeah!" I nodded beaming, the were so happy to have me joining them, as cringey and cliché as it sounds I felt warm inside.

Ashton's ringtone went off and he walked into the kitchen. Strangely enough so did Calum's, he stood up and left to take the call.

"Ah alright thanks, I'll tell them bye" I heard Ashton mutter as he strolled back into the living room.

"That was our bus driver, eh the bus has broke down on the way from the arena so it can't pick is up tonight, it will pick us up tomorrow morning because the mechanic can't make it tonight" Ashton explained scratching the back of his head "And your band is stuck on the bus by the way Scott" he said laughing.

"So where are we going to stay tonight?" asked Luke.

"Where's the nearest hotel around here?" Michael thought out loud.

"You's can stay here tonight if you want?" I suggested surprised at the suggestion my self. Five boys staying at my apartment?

"You sure? Thanks Mia you're a life saver!" said Ashton pulling me in for a hug.

"Yeah I don't see why not? That means we can all get picked up together and be on the road to then next city" I said nodding.

"So who's coming in our bed then? whistled Michael. The rest of the boys laughed and wolf whistled back.

"You'll be on the balcony at this rate!" I teased, rolling back my eyes.

Just then Calum came back in looking glum. The mood dampened throughout the room.

"Why all miserable?" asked Ash breaking the awkward silence.

"It was Olivia on the phone, um she ant come on tour with us anymore" he looked upset and shocked.

"Mate, are you alright?" asked Scott.

"I think, she just sounded like she wasn't that bothered and she just used the excuse that some big modeling appointment cropped up?" said Calum raking a hand through his hair nervously. "She's getting on the first flight to LA tomorrow morning"

Everyone silently stared at Calum, he looked like he was going to break down.

"Sit down Cal" said Luke.

Calum flopped down on the sofa and put his head in his hands, clutching his hair.

"Man I don't know how I feel about her anymore..." he mumbled.

Scott stood up and say down next to Calum putting an arm over his shoulders.

"Look mate, ever since I known you had problems with her, I'm tired of her constantly putting you on a downer and letting you down, she's not worth it" Scott said patting his back.

"But... I think I love her" whispered Calum.

The words hit me like a ton of bricks.

She wasn't just some fling. He actually loved her. Well of course he did, it's his girlfriend after all. I stood up feeling dizzy.

"Mia?" I heard Michael say, Scott looked up from comforting Calum and stared at me.

I chose to ignore them and went into my bedroom closing the door behind me...

I'm having an early night.
