Your Band, My Band, and Our Band

23

Ashton's POV

I don't like the idea of lying to our fans and I know that the girls don't either, do I? I hardly know them at all now. They think that we've changed but we think that they've changed. Maybe we both have. I don't know.

The thing is I still wanna be their friend I just hope they still wanna be ours. I needed to talk to someone about this and Luke and I are the only ones home.

"Hey Luke?"

"Yeah what's up?" He responds.

"I don't think this a good idea ya know the whole us against them thing." I say whispering even though like I said no one else is home.

"I don't either bro. They're our friends not our enemies." He says holding a beer.

"Yeah I agree but they do seem like they hate us now!" I say rubbing the back of my neck.

"Don't sweat it! The only thing I'm worried about is what Calum said in that interview! Why'd he have to lie?!" He asks me and I shack my head.

"I don't know!............but now that I think about it, it was Calum's idea to get them back and it was him that lied and he's the one who hates them not us! He's just doing all this because of Joanna!" I say raising my voice.

"What do you mean?" What does Jo have to do with this?" He asks and I just look at him with a blank face.

"oooOOhhHHh." He finally catches on to what I meant.

"We need to talk to him." He says placing a hand on my shoulder and I nod.

Tyler Rose's POV

After I saw Calum say what he said I knew Joanna was gonna be pissed, and she was. If I know anything it's that you don't wanna mess with her when she gets mad.

"Jo?"

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!" She yells and this would be the time to retreat. All she needs is time. Maybe an hour or two and she'll be fine.

"Guys can we talk about Jo?" I ask Jordan and Charlotte and they gather round me.

"I'm worried." I say taking a big breath.

"I am too. I hope she's okay." Charlotte says.

"Oh I'm not worried about HER. I'm worried about US!" I say panicking. They look confused so I sigh.

"Look I hate to put all of this on her but this is all her fault! She wanted to start this fight or what ever this is with them. She's the one who made us lie on live TV. If Calum hadn't of tried to compete with her this wouldn't of happened!" I say crossing my arms.

"Why is this his fault?" Jordan asks.

"Because he sti-" I feel Charlotte's hands cover my mouth.

"Shut up! You know we can't say anything!" She harshly whispers and I just lick her hand causing her to pull away.

"So what are we supposed to do about this?" Jordan asks.

"I don't know. Anyone got any ideas?" I say looking around.

"I think we should go talk to the guys and tell them about this." Charlotte says and both Jordan and I nod in agreement. As we walk out the front door Charlotte tells me to wait in the car because she wants to talk to Jordan for a second.

She comes out about five minutes later. "Charlotte?! Are you okay?!" She quickly runs to the car. He face looked very heated and she was sweating. Her eyes were incredibly red like she had spent the last hour crying but it was only five minutes.

"What the hell happened?!" I ask.

"Nothing! Just drive!" She yells.

"Is Jordan coming?" I ask.

"No! Drive!" She yells again and I pull out out of the driveway.

We pull up to the guy's house. We, for the first time ever, knock on the door and are surprised to actually find someone who is not who we thought.

"Umm who are you?" I ask.

"I'm the house keeper, Carlie. And you are?" She says with a sassy attitude.

"Umm bitch, don't use that tone with me! I happen to be best friends with these idiots! And aren't you a little young to be house keeping?!" I say observing her.

"Uh yeah I'm twenty-two and married." She says showing us her wedding ring.

"Oh...well...sorry to bother you. Have a nice day." I say passing her into the house without being invited in but who cares.

"HELLO?! ASHTON? MICHAEL? LUKE? REALLY ANYONE BUT CALUM?" I yell which causes an echo.

"Tyler Rose?! Is that you?" Ashton yells back.

"Hell yeah now can you get your ass down here please?!!" I yell and I see him following Luke down the stairs.

"What are you doing here? I thought you hated us?"

"Oh we do but we still need to talk to you guys about something. Calum isn't here is he?" I ask.

"No he's out with Michael." Luke says. "Call Michael and tell him to come home quick." Charlotte says.

"What is this about?!" Luke's ask as he hands me a beer but I refuse. Charlotte on the other hand, excepts.

"We wanted to talk about Joanna. We think this is really her fault. We never wanted to lie. We were just trying to help our career." I explain.

"We were just saying the same thing about Calum!" Luke says and right after he does we hear the sound of a door open then close. It's Michael.

"Hey I got your message what's wr-" he soon stops in his tracks when he catches sight of me and Charlotte.

"What are they doing here?" He asks.

"Michael we gotta talk." Ashton says inviting him to sit down which he does.

"Anyway, so we agree that none of us had anything to do with this, and that its all Calum and Joanna's fault?" I say just to be clear with them and they nod.

"Wait so does this mean WE'RE okay?" Michael looks around but ends the sentence with his eyes on Charlotte.

"Is that some kind of apology?! If it is then I'm afraid it's not excepted." She says looking away from him.

"Charlotte, I'm really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really-"

"Okay okay just stop! Fine you win!" She says annoyed.

"So do you forgive me?" Michael says with an innocent face.

".....Yeah sure." She says and Michael smiles.

Charlotte's POV

I don't know why I forgave Michael. I guess it's just really hard to stay mad at him. I roll my eyes at the sight of his smile and then my phone begins to ring. I look at the caller ID and it says 'mum'. I pick up the phone with delight.

"Hi mum! I miss you a lot!" I get out of my seat and head to a different room so I wouldn't be a distraction.

"I-I m-miss you too sweetie." Her voice sounds shaky.

"E-Everything alright mum?" I ask.

"Well n-no. I'm sorry but it's it's.........Kurt."
