I'm just his twin sister (a 5sos fanfic)

Chapter 13

Michael

I look over to my left, seeing Tiff and Calum snuggling on the couch. I feel bits of my heart suddenly break, as if they were shot down. My chances with Tiff have been shot down, if she didn't go for Ashton then how would she possibly go for me?

"Aye Mikey, you wanna come to the beach? It's like a five minute walk." Calum looks over. How does he not see I'm, lovesick. "Cal, me and outside aren't exactly friends. Look at my skin." I point to my pale, lying face. The real reason I don't want to go is because I don't think I can handle seeing those two flirt.

I get off the couch, walking to my room. It's days like this I wish I picked a bedroom upstairs. I'm still able to hear them whispering sweet nothings to each other. I look at my suitcase on the floor for our tour. Our flight is in a couple of days. We should really start packing.

It's when I hear them giggling to each other I decide I will go to the beach. Maybe I'll meet a new babe? But no ones going to top Tiffany. I grab my phone and sunglasses, walking out of my room.

"Let's go then."

~~~~~~~~

By time we get on the sand Tiff is already in a red and white polka dot bikini. I try my best to stop staring, so I look for a distraction. I find Luke splashing in the water with Ash. I just sit on the towel playing my  3DS. Basically my life story.

"You seem bored." I instantly know it's Tiff. She sits down, her wet hair hitting my shoulder as she sits. Calum is busy with Luke, I think they're building a sandcastle. If they are, it's not a good one.

"Michael, what's wrong?" She pulls the device out of my hand and closes it. I look over to her in disappointment but she has a serious expression on her face. "I'm fine." I roll my eyes.

"Michael, you barely talk. Honestly it's like something has been bothering you ever since my birthday, seriously what's up?" She glares at me, not giving up.

"Tiff, honestly, I'm really not fine at all." I slowly sigh, running my hand through my hair.

"What's wrong please, I may be able to help." She pleads. How the hell do I get out of this? "I've, I've got this friend, that likes this girl. But the girl he likes is taken. He's sad, really sad. I just don't know what to do." I say, not looking at Tiff. I hear her breath in hard, exhaling loud. She's thinking, that's what she does when she thinks hard.

"Maybe, this boy should just go for it. What' he got to lose? If this girl was a good friend she would let him down easy, and your friend will be fine. Hopefully." She gives a light smile. At least she's trying to comfort me. I decide to take her advice.

"Tiffany, I like you. I'm that friend, and you're that girl. I know you're with Calum and I respect what decision you make, really I just wanted you to know." I keep a straight face, not knowing of I'm going to smile or break down crying.

"Oh, well Michael you know I love Calum. I just hope that doesn't change anything between us, our friendship I mean." She sighs again. I hate this part, but at least I still have her as a friend.

"Hey babe! Come back in the water is AMAZING!" Calum screams out. Tiff looks at me with sad eyes. I return the emotion, knowing this hurts me more.

"Go, he needs you." I twiddle my fingers, waiting for her to leave me. She kisses my cheek lightly. "Thank you." She walks to her boyfriend, my bestfriend. I close my eyes, just wishing everything would change.

Calum

I walk in my bedroom, grabbing my suitcase. Our world tour was so close, yet none of us are packed. I think of what it will be likes to go to America. I've never been, but I always wanted to. I just never thought I would be with my best mates and have a girlfriend when I get there. I realise I have a pile of folded shirts in my hands. Was I packing and didn't even notice? 

I continue putting clothes in the black bag, making sure to leave a pair of clothes for tomorrow, and the day after for the plane ride. I hear a knock on the door, I turn to see Ashton. "Uh, hey Calum." He awkwardly says, sitting on my computer chair.

"I need to tell you something." He begins, looking at the floor.

"I kissed Tiffany. I kissed her. I really liked her, until she said we can only be friends, I realised I didn't stand a chance against you. She didn't kiss back or anything, she pushed me away actually. I just felt you needed to know. I'm sorry mate." He stares at me, tears in his eyes.

"Dude, you don't need to apologise it's fine. Sure I'm a bit pissed but the fact you actually told me helps. If I was in your position I would've done the same. Honestly it's fine." I walk over to him and rub his shoulder. I knew he hated going behind people's backs.

He looks up and gives a smile. A true Ashton Irwin smile. I smile back, happy no secrets were happening. Ashton walks out, I assume he's gone off to pack. I get up to continue my packing, until I stop and think.

Why didn't Tiff tell me they kissed?

I walk over to her room, knocking on the wooden door. "Gimme a sec!" I hear her yell, rustling going on in the background. Finally the door opens, revealing Tiff with a huge blue zebra print suitcase on her bed. I stare at it for a while, she has a lot of clothes.

"What do you need Hood?" She says, biting her lip. "Can I walk to you." I walk inside anyway, closing the door behind me. We sit on the bed, the parts not covered up with the case.

"Why didn't you tell me you and Ashton kissed? Did you like it or something?" I hold her hand, hoping I receive the answer I want. "No, I just didn't think you would care if you knew or not. I didn't kiss him back, plus I like you." She smiles, I let out a breath I've been holding.

"That's good. Sorry I'm so overprotective, I just never want to lose you. Again." I sigh, knowing it's a sore subject. "Well, you have me now. So keep me." She kisses me. I feel her smile throughout the kiss, damn she's so amazing.

I have  PLAN!!! Finally, I haven't known what else to write about for this book but now I do. Yaya! Sorry if there's typos... I was listening to If You Don't Know and I couldn't be effed editing... whoops :)
