-6 months later (Michael's POV)-

"Michael, what's been wrong with you this whole tour?" Luke asked sitting down beside me.

I didn't look up from my phone and shrugged.

"Michael, you can talk to me about anything, you know that right?" he asked.

I shrugged.

"Michael is this about Caroline?" he asked.

"Don't." I said.

"Don't what, Michael?" he asked.

"Leave me alone." I said.

"We're going home tomorrow, just talk to her then." he said.

"What if she doesn't want to talk to me?" I asked.

"Don't worry, she will." he said.

-The next day-

We get back home and I walk into the house to see my mum. I hug her and said, "I'm going to go talk to Caroline. I'll be back soon."

"Michael, honey... Caroline left." she said.

"What do you mean she left?" I asked.

"I mean, she went back to live with her dad." he said.

"When did she leave?" I asked.

"Last week." she said, "But she told me to give you this."

She handed me an envelope and I stalked upstairs and closed the door, falling on my bed and sighed. My phone rang a couple times before I answered it.

"Hello?" I said weakly.

"What's up Mikey?" Calum asked cheerfully, "Did you talk to Caroline yet?"

"No." I said sharply.

"What's wrong mate?" he asked concern in his voice, "Why didn't you talk to her?"

"I was going to, but my mum told me that Caroline left; she's gone Calum." I said, "She's gone and I can't do anything about it."

"I'm sorry Mikey." he said.

"It's whatever." I whispered.

"You know Mikey, how about you come with the lads and I tonight, y'know to help forget." he offered.

"No I'm just gonna sit here and think about-" I started.

"No you need to come out with us tonight Michael." he said, "Don't make me get Ashton after you."

I rolled my eyes and hung up. I grabbed the envelope and opened it. Something fell out and I noticed it was my necklace I gave her. I sighed and pulled out the paper and opened it, revealing a letter.

Dear Michael,

If you're reading this then I know you already know that I'm gone. I'm sorry Michael; I'm sorry for ever having feelings for you, and I'm sorry that I cared a little too much for you. The thing is I loved you; fuck I still love you, but now I know exactly how you feel about me. I know about the girls you were sleeping with. For a moment I actually thought you cared for me, but I guess I was just another one of those girls to you. I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect girl for you, maybe then you'd care about me just a little bit. I guess I just wasn't good enough for you. I was dumb to even think I had a chance. But enough about that; you really don't care. It also hurt me that you'd think I'd actually have a 'thing' with Ashton. Do you honestly think that low of me? You know what? I'm done okay Michael. I'm done. I HATE you Michael Gordon Clifford. I really honestly hate that I love you so much. Goodbye Michael.

I stared at the letter for a while.

'How did I fuck up so bad?' I thought.

I heard a knock at the door and looked up and saw Luke standing in the doorway.

"Hey Mikey, how are you?" he asked smiling.

I shrugged.

"What do you have there?" he asked pointing to the note.

I shook my head, "Nothing."

"You're looking at it awfully hard for it to be nothing." he said walking in my room and sitting down on the edge of my bed.

"It's a letter from Caroline, explaining why she left." I said, "She hates me."

"I'm sure she doesn't-" he started.

"Don't tell me that, you're only trying to say that she doesn't hate me to make me feel better!" I said, "She fucking hates me!"

"Michael, things will get better." he said.

"No they won't." I muttered falling back.

"Look at it this way, at least we'll get some good songs out of this." he said.

I glared at him.

"Hey, I'm only trying to make you feel better, it's sort of my job." he said.

I smiled softly, "Thanks mate."

"Come on, let's go out tonight." he said and stood up, "We'll sort everything out later."

-1 year later-

We went on tour with One Direction again and tonight we're in Las Vegas.

"I can't believe we're playing in Las Vegas tonight!" Calum yelled.

"It's pretty sick mate!" Ashton said.

"Are you excited?!" Luke yelled.

I laughed, "It's pretty fucking sick!"

"Let's go have a fucking amazing show tonight guys!" Ashton yelled.

We ran out on stage and played out set. While out there I looked out at the crowd who were singing our songs back at us. I smiled and couldn't believe how much we've accomplished so far. I looked down and saw a familiar face. 'It can't be. Is it her? Caroline?' I thought. We finished our set and ran off stage.

Calum asked, "How fucking amazing was that?"

"Calum it was amazing!" Luke said.

We walked back to the dressing room and Ashton walked beside me.

"Hey mate you okay?" he asked.

I nodded, "Uh y-yeah." I said.

"You sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm great." I said and walked into the dressing room.

I sat on the couch in our dressing room and tweeted. Luke sat beside me and asked, "You okay?"

I nodded, "Fine."

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Fuck; no." I said, "I think I saw her out there."

"What?" he asked.

"Caroline, I thought I saw her." I said, "It's just my imagination though, she's not going to be here."

"It was her." Ashton said.

"How do you know?" Luke asked.

"Sh-she told me." he said, "She texted me yesterday and said she'd be at the show tonight."

"And you never told us?" I yelled standing up.

"I didn't think it mattered much, I thought you were getting over her." he said, "I'm sorry."

"Whatever." I said and walked out.

I walked outside and walked up to the fans, signing stuff and taking photos with them. I was to the end of the line of fans when I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and saw her.

"H-Hey Michael." she said quietly.

"Caroline?" I asked.
