So We Meet Again {Slow Updates}

Chapter 9: Friends

October, 3rd 2014

"Michael?" I heard a voice say.

Isaac...

Calum's POV

"I-isaac?" Michael says shakily.

Isaac was with his girlfriend, Christie. I glared at them.

"A-are you with Calum now...?" Isaac asked. Me and Michael looked at each other blushing. We shrugged in unision. Isaac looked back at Isaac just staring. It looked like he didn't know what to say.

Michael looked torn when his eyes were on Isaac. Isaac just looked nervous. And Christie looked confused. She's heard of the guy who took her boyfriend (Michael) but never actually remembered his name or how he looked.

"Hey gu-" Luke came running down with Ashton right behind him smiling, but his smile immediately dropped when spotting Isaac. "What the hell do you want?" Luke asked glaring at Isaac as Ashton held his wrist to hold him back. Isaac turned to Luke and his whole face paled.

He's been trying to stay clear of the blonde just because he knew this exact situation would happen. Michael looked nervous to see Isaac but he also looked scared and I understand why. Isaac leaked all of Michael's nudes to any boy who wanted to see.

"Wait... Aren't you that boy who sent those disgusting nudes to my boyfriend?" Christie asked in her annoyingly slow voice. Michael looked down sadly and I knew tears were threatening to spill from his eyes.

I got up and went straight to Christie's face. I can't hit her, sadly, but I wasn't gonna let her lower Michael's self-esteem even more, especially when Michael's not the disgusting one she is.

"I don't know who you're calling disgusting. Aren't you the girl who tried hooking up with me and Luke at the party last year?" I asked sassily crossing my arms. She looked terrified as Isaac looked pissed. They've been together on and off since year 10 so at one point she cheated on Isaac or... Possibly many points in their relationship.

"What?!" Isaac screamed looking angered. "I-its not l-like th-that?" Christie stuttered out nervously. They both started arguing so I grabbed Michael and the boys and we got ready to walk back to Luke's house. Hoping to forget this whole damn day.

But right before we could leave Ashton walks up to Isaac and punched him in the face. Me and Luke looked shocked while Michael just stood there, like as if he expected it to happen

"Don't fuck with my best friend ever again." He tells him before exiting the park with a proud smile.

So... I was wrong about forgetting the day.

Michael was distant when we got to Luke's house. He wouldn't even look at me. I was beginning to get upset so I decided to have a talk with him.

"Come with me outside." I say quickly grabbing his arm before he could protest. I drag him out into the backyard.

"What's up with you?" I ask as soon as get outside. "Just thinking." He tells me looking down. I put my finger under his chin, tilting his head up to meet my eyes. "About what?" I asked keeping my finger on his chin. "Christie was right." He tells me tears filling his eyes. I was confused so he continued, "I'm disgusting just look at me. I'm ugly and fat and just I hate it." He was sobbing at this point covering his face with his hands.

I pulled him into a tight hug. He was sobbing into my shirt, but I could care less right now. Michael felt like he was ugly and I didn't know what to do to help him because just telling him how beautiful he is won't help at all. So I just hugged him and things like 'you're okay' 'let it out' and 'I'm here, I got you', until his heavy sobbing became soft hiccups.

He pulled away when his breathing became even once again. "Thank you." He whispered wipingg his tear stained cheeks. "For what?" I ask confused. "For just being here for me and making me feel like I matter." He tells me with a small smile giving me a small kiss on the cheek. "You do matter and what are friends for, am I right?" I say awkwardly and blushing crazily. "Yea... Friends." I hear him whisper sadly as he walks back inside the house. He left me here completely confused and shocked by the sudden mood change.

He went from happy and grateful to sad and shy within 2 seconds...

What's that about?

I follow Michael back into the house and up the stairs to Luke's room. But when I got upstairs I see Michael with his ear pressed against Luke's bedroom door. Once he spotted me he put a finger to his lips telling me to stay quiet. I nod.

Once we both focused on the silence we heard Luke's bed creaking and soft moans and pants coming from the room. Me and Michael look at each other with wide eyes.

What the hell?

We both walk into the room, what we saw made us smirk. We knew it!
