[Michael]

I couldn't stop thinking about Mae.

Okay so I haven't really gone a day without her crossing my mind, but lately it's been getting worse.

Even when she...

No, don't think about that. Everything is fine now, right?

She's messing with my head and at this point I can't tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I do know is that I really fucking l-

"Stop stop stop!" Jesse, our sound guy, shouted, snapping me out of my thoughts as my guitar screeched when I stopped playing abruptly. "Mike man, are you doing okay today? You seem out of it."

"I'm doing fine and I know I'm out of line," I started, sighing dramatically. Cal groaned.

"Not again," Ashton mumbled while Luke shook his head and tried not to laugh.

"Let's sing this one more time," I said, a smirk playing at my lips. Jesse glared at me.

"The show is in 30 minutes and this is the first time you're playing the new song. Stop fucking around," he snarled. My face heated up at his outbursts towards me and I hung my head down.

I should probably stop trying to be as funny as I think I am.

"From the top," Luke spoke into his microphone.

"You say that I'm too complicated, hung up and miseducated, well I say 9 to 5 is overrated and we all fall down. I can't sleep cause my mind keeps racin', my chest hurts cause my heart keeps breakin', I'm so numb and I can't stop shakin' and we all fall down," I sang. The crowd grew louder and louder with excitement by the second, while made me smile.

"Frustration, desperation, you say you need some kind of medication, situation no motivation, destination permanent vacation," Luke sang.

"Hey I'm doing fine, and I know I'm out of line, so let's sing this one more time it goes, destination permanent vacation!"

The crowd cheered, making my heart swell with happiness. They love the new song. I just can't wait till they hear what we have in store for them with the new album.

"Michael! Michael!" All the girls yelled over and over again. I couldn't help but smile, due to the fact that some of them are shouting lovely things to me. I tried to pay more attention to those over the let-me-suck-your-dick fans. I took a gazillion pictures with fans, trying to get as many people as I could. Dave begin ushering me into the hotel when a girl tugged on my shirt quickly.

"Michael," she said quietly. I almost couldn't hear her. "Are you ever going to make things official with Mae?"

I chuckled, eyeing her. She had light brown hair with big hazel eyes, and a pointy nose. She wore dark lipstick and all black clothes. She was kind of cute.

"We're just friends," I told her, right before Dave push me inside the building.

Just friends.

Except, friends don't feel the way I do towards their other friends.
