I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update it but i hope you love reading it as much as i loved writing it :) 

Luke's P.O.V

Ugh damn coffee machine! It looked so much easier watching Kat make the coffee. I internally groaned as I felt the hot milk cover my hand and whimpered a little. Okay so let me rewind a little....Basically Kat and Hannah very kindly gave me and Calum jobs in the shop. Calum had chosen to work in the Kitchen with Hannah and to be honest I'm surprised he hasn't burnt anything yet or worse.....stripped off his clothes.

He calls himself the naked chef when we're in our dorm and it's rather embarrassing. Although I won't deny he has a hot body and Sweet mama his ass is amazing! Yes I'm gay and Calum doesn't care, he knows how perfect his ass is. Besides we're like brothers so it's natural for us to be so comfortable with each other.

I was working front of house with Kat and whilst I was trying and failing to make a Cappuccino for an impatient looking business man, I could feel someone's eyes on me and couldn't help but notice the figure hovering outside the window. I could tell they didn't want to be seen as they hurried away as quickly as they'd got there but for some reason he seemed familiar. I swear I've seen that mop of wild curls before, recently even. I may have only seen him briefly but he looked so sad, as if he had the world on his shoulders weighing him down.

Without even thinking I put down the milk jug, ignored the angry shouts and ran out of the shop after the curly headed lad, I had to stop him. I saw him turn the corner and cross the road. I followed him but once I got to the other side of the road I'd lost him in the sea of people surrounding Trafalgar square. I let out an exasperated sigh and ran a hand down my face in annoyance, letting my head fall back as I looked to the sky. I stood in the same position at the corner of the road for a while longer secretly hoping curly would re-appear but to my dismay there was no sign of him.

I took a deep breath and made my way back to the shop anxiously waiting for the yelling to start the moment I pushed the door open, I looked up and walked back to my position behind the counter ignoring the death glare Kat was giving me, I smiled sheepishly at her and carried on making coffees for the growing queue of customers.

Meanwhile in the kitchen..

Hannah's P.O.V

I'm trying to stay as calm as I can, because I swear to god I'm going to strangle this Kiwi kid in a minute. He will not keep his clothes on! Its driving me nuts and I have an order of 30 cakes for a wedding and they aren't going to bake themselves. This really wasn't the best idea we've ever had, I may ask Kat to swap with me tomorrow and oh boy here he goes again.

"Ugh Calum for the last time, will you please put your shirt back on this is a kitchen, not a strip club" I growled at him and in reply he stuck his tongue out at me and continued to wave his shirt above his head. Oh and did I mention he's singing Barbie girl. I don't know how much more I can take of this.

I mentally face palmed as I shook my head trying to hold back laughter because as annoyed as I am you just can't help but smile around Calum, it's no wonder Kat seemed to like him.

He'd finally decided to put his shirt back on after 15 minutes of me nagging him and telling him that the cakes wouldn't make themselves. He tried flirting with me and asking me if I had enjoyed the show to which I replied "you're so full of yourself Hood" which made his smile falter. That boy should always be smiling because the moment he frowned I have never felt guiltier. "I'm so sorry Calum I wasn't trying to offend you" I mumbled looking at the floor and the next thing I know he's laughing and pointing at me "I got you, the puppy face fools everyone!"

He then started doing a happy dance so I did the only thing I could think of and slapped his ass to get his attention "Hey! What was that for?" he yelped. I sighed rolling my eyes and pointed at the cake mix "We have cakes to make and they aren't going to make themselves, come on Beyoncé let's get baking" I smirked, laughing to myself. He rolled his eyes at me and after what seemed like forever we had finally started baking the cakes.

Ashtons P.O.V.

This room is so damn boring; it feels so clinical with its blue chairs and bland boring walls plastered with posters about on campus events and clubs. There's also the odd motivational poster and I must've read each poster 30+ times and was now sat watching the desk waiting for the desk lady to come back. I seemed like I'd been waiting for hours but I looked at the clock to see it had only been 20 minutes, when she finally returned.

She was smiling as she summoned me over to the desk. I silently walked over to her and waited for her to speak which didn't take too long, "We only have one dorm space available at the moment. Can I take your name?" I nodded "Ashton...Ashton Irwin" I fake smiled at her as she typed away at the computer in front of her and then handed me a piece of paper from the printer "here you go Ashton, you're in dorm room 2011 which is on the second floor and your roommate is Michael Clifford" I smiled a genuine smile this time and thanked her as I left.

I started making my way back to the flat that I shared with Chase, getting lost in my thoughts to the sound of All time low blasting through my headphones as I walked. I was dreading the conversation I knew I had to have with Chase and as much as I thought I loved him, I knew leaving him would be the best thing I could do for myself.

Little did I know... as I made my way into Cookie Crumbles for the first time in forever. My battle was far from over.

A/N Let me know what you think in the comments. It would be greatly appreciated and once again I am so sorry this is so overdue. Much Love Kat AKA AshtonsBlondie<3
