3. Let them be happy

'hmpf' Calum sat down next to me

'what's up sunshine' I asked knowing thats why he sat with me

'gimme a cig'

'fuck off'

'l'll tell Luke you're smoking again'

'if I give you one will you tell me what's wrong'

'yes' I lit a cigarette off my own 'I like Emily'

'okay' I said hesitantly

'not like Like her I just think she's a nice person'

'right?' I had no idea where he Was going with this

'but why is she always here, cant she fucking move in with you and Luke'

'she's not mine or Luke's girlfriend though' I said

'it used to be me and Michael against the wold'

'it still is Cal' I said 'she's not taking Michael away from you'

'that what it feels like' there was a pause 'they're talking about moving in together when were back from the next tour, where does that leave me, I like it here, why should I have to move house because everyone else has found happiness and I haven't'

'move back in with Ashton?'

'I will, I don't want to but I will'

'come on living with Ashton wasn't that bad'

'we almost broke up the band Andy'

'you were best friends cal'

'were, me and Luke were best friends, me and Ashton were best friends, me and Michael were best friends, its always were'

'I'd say you can come live with us but there's not much room and it's our first place alone'

'i liked it better when we all lived together and you were like one of the lads even though you were dating Luke it didn't feel like it, it never has felt like it with you and Luke you just fit in'

'Cal promise me one thing' I said taking his hand 'don't say any of this to Emily or Michael, let them be happy'
