Double update and important question at the end :)

"Please Calum, at least come in," Ashton pleaded, trying to get his friend out of the car as he stood outside of the open door, looking at down at the boy as he sat in the back seat.

"I'm numb, leave me alone," he muttered, his arms folded over his chest with a frown on his face.

"But you'll suffocate in the car if we leave you in there," Ashton reasoned.

"Good, then I'll die and finally be able to keep from fucking up everything," he mumbled, looking down at his shoes.

"Calum!" Ashton exclaimed. "Don't talk like that!"

The prince simply just shrugged.

His friend sighed, looking up back at the house, seeing that Michael was already inside since he decided that he should explain everything to Liz before anything else. "Fine, if you won't drag your ass in there, then I will," he grumbled, picking the boy up and over his shoulder in one swift motion, earning a yelp.

"THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Taking your lazy ass in that house; I'm not leaving you here to suffer, even if you want to," the curly haired guy explained, walking to the front door.

As they entered, Calum still on his shoulder with his arms crossed and a pout on his lips, they heard soft voices coming from the what they remembered to be the living room.

Michael looked up at the two when they walked in, immediately laughing. "Couldn't get him to come in?" He questioned Ashton once he had set Calum down on the couch.

"Nope."

Michael chuckled, glancing over at Liz, seeing she had her eyebrows raised. "Oh, Liz this is Ashton my..."

"Boyfriend," Ashton finished with a nod, since how Michael had never really confirmed what they were, reaching his large hand out for the women to take, which she gladly did.

"And that depressing dope over there is Calum; the boy your son's in love with," Ashton added, pointing over at Calum, who glared at him.

"Used to," he hissed, correcting his friend.

Ashton shook his head. "And he still does too, just like he used to."

"Ashton, he said it himself!" Calum snapped, "HE. DOES. NOT. LOVE. ME. ANYMORE."

"Are you kidding me, don't be such an idiot, Cal. He does."

"No. He. Doesn't."

"Yes he does."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes!"

"NO."

"YES."

"NO!"

"YE-"

"BOYS, SIT!" Liz yelled over the two, them standing up by now and in each other's faces. Both boys obeyed with a scowl. "Behave, we're trying to discuss something important here."

"Sorry, Miss," Ashton apologized.

"Sorry," Calum added in his own, too.

"It's alright, let's just focus on trying to find my son," she said seriously.

"Trying to find him?" Calum questioned, not sure if he quite heard that right or not.

"Yes, he's not here. I thought he was with you boys, but Michael says you guys haven't seen him since yesterday afternoon," she confirmed with a solemn, worried look.

"So you don't know where he is?"

"I'm afraid not." She shook her head, looking down at her lap.

Well shit, Ashton and Calum both thought.
