"It's three thirty seven am over there, you need to get some sleep boy" I chuckled into the phone, placing my laptop on the counter. "Sleep is for the weak" Michael yelled, I rolled my eyes, taking the phone from between shoulder and my check, putting it on speaker before placing it on the bench.
"You lot are crazy" I chuckled, "but we're your crazy lot" Ashton said, I chuckled, rolling my eyes as I scrolled through tumblr on my laptop. "How's being back home anyway?" I asked, "so good. I love being home" Calum cheered, agreement from the others. "It's been so good to see the family again" Ashton chimed, a smile spread across my face. "Ew" I whispered, scrunching up my nose as I stopped scrolling. "What's ew?" Luke asked, "a picture of us just came up from like four years ago. We look so young" I scrunched up my nose once more. "Ah high school days" Michael cheered.
"I am now commanding that you go and get some sleep" I sighed, closing my laptop. "Seriously. I'll talk to you tomorrow". The boys all groaned, "But..." "Nope. Goodbye., love you all" I interrupted as I hung up. "Halle" I yelled, making my way down the hall to her room. "Halle, can we..." I stopped, Halle sitting on her bed, hugging her knees as tears ran down her face. "Hal?" I whispered, walking over, sitting just in front of her. "Hal, what's wrong" she looked up at me, exhaustion in her eyes.
"He dumped me" she whispered, shaking her head. "Said that he needed his space. He's leaving for New Zealand to study in a week." She paused, wiping away a tear that rolled down her cheek. "He didn't want to leave any commitments behind that he didn't think he could keep" she shook her head, letting out an amused chuckle. "I thought he loved me lex. I thought we'd be together forever" she sighed, a slight quiver on her lip. "But I guess I was wrong"
"Aw baby" I pouted, wrapping her into a hug, wiping away a tear that rolled down he cheek. "What did i do wrong?" She whispered, pulling her selves down over her hands. "You did nothing wrong. He's just a jerk" i frowned, reaching for my phone. "He's not a jerk, he's your best friend" she whispered, looking up at me as i stood up. "And you're practically my sister" i smiled, nudging her slightly. "And i don't want to be friends with people who break my sisters heart" she smiled up at me, shaking her head as she let out a slight chuckle. "What would i do with out you" she whispered, i shrugged with a smirk, being pulled into a tight hug.
"Excuse me" i smiled, my phone ringing in my hand. "I thought i told you to get some sleep" I chuckled into the phone, making my way into the lounge, "We did go to sleep. But then Michael got a call...." Ashton half whispered, the sound of a door closing behind him. "a call about what?" I asked, climbing onto the couch, sitting on the arm rest. "It was from...." he paused, a muffled voice coming from the background. "Babe?" I whispered, slipping down on the couch, pulling my knees to my chest.
Ashton sighed, I could tell he was running a hand through his hair. "I need you to talk to him" He whispered, another small sigh left his lips. "But i think maybe we should do it on skype" I stood up, making my way to my laptop. "Alright, i'll log on now and then call you, alright?" I smiled, hanging up. I opened my laptop, sighing into skype, clicking the video call button next to Ashton's name.
"Oh Michael" My heart broke as a tired, puffy eyed Michael appeared on the screen, surrounded by the boys. "What happened?" I whispered, leaning on the counter. Michael opened his mouth, but shut it, wiping away a tear. He looked at Ashton, he nodded before looking at me. "Ash...Ashley broke up with Mikey" Ashton half whispered, a slight whimper coming from Michael. "Oh Mikey" I looked at him, sorrow once again filling my heart. "She just called me and told me she didn't love me anymore and that she'd cheated on me while she was in Spain" Michaels voice sounded defeated.
"Why are some our best friends turning out to be such shitbags" I mumbled, running a hand through my hair. "Who else?" Calum asked, I sighed, looking down the hall way to Halle's room before looking back at the screen. "Josh dumped Halle" I frowned, "I found her in her room a complete mess" The boys all looked at me heart broken. "Said he didn't want to have commitments back home while he was on the other side of the world, he didn't think he could keep them if he had them" I sighed, shaking my head. "What a fucking jerk" Luke frowned, the other boys nodding in agreement. "And to think we hung out with them" I rolled my eyes.
"Is she still in her room?" Michaels voice barely left his lips, I nodded with a small smile. "Halle, hun, come here for a minute please" I yelled down the hall, a loud groan coming from her room. "What?" She frowned as she walked in, a blanket wrapped around her. I pointed to the screen, she looked at me confused as she waddled over. "Hey babe" they all cheered, a small smile spread across her face. I watched as her and Michael chatted, catching up and talking about break ups. It was nice to see them smile. "You know what" I smiled at them, "you didn't need them anyway, you've got us"
