Warped Love

25.

Shelby's POV

Playing a set while you're baked is very interesting.

After our set I decide to just go back to the bus, eat, and skype Michael. I felt bad for hanging up on him. I cross the venue to the tour bus and climb in. Charlie is still mad at me, what's new? I grab some pringles and walk past him to the back lounge. I grab my laptop and open skype.

"Michael!" "Shelby!" We say at the same time. I blush, "Hey, sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to hang up on you, I was just baked and didn't know what I was doing and it was really rude of -" He interrupts me, "Hey, it's fine. I understand." He reassures me. "So wasn't there something you wanted to tell me?" I ask, eating pringles. What if he wants to break up, even though we're not dating? What if he met someone? What if he thinks I'm annoying? I know it was rude of me to hang up, but it's not like I meant to. He deserves so much better than me. He's this world famous guy in a band and I'm just this girl that no one knows or cares about. He's probably sick of me already.

Michael's POV

Well I definitely can't tell her I love her over skype. What could I possibly tell her? "I just can't wait to see you in less than a week." Wow, that was incredibly lame. Seriously, Michael? 'I can't wait to see you?' I couldn't do better than that? God, she deserves way better than me.

Shelby's POV

I tilt my head, smiling. "I can't wait to see you! Although..." Should I tell him that I'm freaking out about everything? "Although what? You can tell me, babe." He squints his eyes and furrows his eyebrows. "Although, I'm really nervous. I can't wait to see you and be able to hug you and be around you for more than a day, but I feel bad about staying at you and the boys' house. I feel like I'm intruding, maybe I should just stay at a hotel. Plus, what if they don't even like me?" I sigh. He shakes his head, "Don't say that. It makes me feel like you don't want to be around me. Please don't feel like you're intruding. I've never brought someone back to our place before, the guys are so beyond excited to meet you. They say I talk about you a lot or something.." "BECAUSE YOU DO!" Someone yells in the background. I crack a smile, "Who was that?" The laptop moves and I'm faced with a wild Calum. "Damn, you weren't kidding, she's hot." I blush. "Cal, give it back!" Michael yells. "Michael has been talking non-stop about you and how excited he is to see you. We're excited to meet you. Also, I love your band." Calum gives the laptop back to a now blushing Michael. I yell, "thank you!" and he walks away. Michael is trying to hide his blushing face so I decide to tease him a bit, "So, you've been talking about me a lot?" I smirk. He crosses his arms, "Okay, maybe just a little bit. I can't help it, I get to see you in 3 days! I'm picking you up at the airport, by the way. Oh, and I have a surprise." He tries to hide his smile. I raise my eyebrows, intrigued. "You're not going to tell me, are you?" He shakes his head.
