"Here you go!" Halsey sings as she places the pizza box in front of me.

"Thanks." I smile and open the box only to be hit with the amazing smell of pizza.

"So when are you gonna confront Calum?" She asks, eating her pizza.

"I don't know.." I sigh and hear the door unlock. I spin around and see Michael.

"Oh hi Luke," He smiles.

"I'm sorry I'm here, I just wanna hang out with Halsey, you know?" I lie and Michael shrugs.

"That's totally fine bro. Only if you give me some pizza." He says and sits beside Halsey. He kisses her cheek before grabbing a slice of pizza.

"Where's Calum?" Michael asks with a mouthful of pizza.

"He went to hang out with Jack and Alex." I say and he frowns before nodding.

Halsey looks pretty disturbed and annoyed. I widen my eyes to tell her not to tell Michael. Her eyebrows slide up in sadness, telling me that she wants to. I shake my head very lightly and she rolls her eyes and makes a looks as if to say that she was about to tell Michael.

'Don't' I mouth and she rolls her eyes.

"Okay, it's been silent for five minutes, what are you mouthing at each other?" Michael asks, finishing his fifth slice.

"Oh it's nothing." Halsey says and Michael frowns, shrugs then grabs another slice.

{Calum}
What the hell have I done?! Did I really just cheat on Luke? I wanted him to know who was boss, but I didn't mean it to go that far! I don't even know what to do. I need to know where he is, probably with Halsey, she's his literal best friend.

I'm... scared to confront him. No, he should be scared of me. I feel My knuckles tighten before I grab my shoes and begin to slip them on.

This is a mess. Why did I even want to show Luke who was boss? Why did I beat him up? I'm so stupid. I begin to walk to Halsey's house. Has he told anyone? I hope not.

I'm soon at Halsey's door and I knock on it lightly. Michael opens it and he gives me a tiny smile.

"In time for the party." He says and pulls me in.

I see Luke and Halsey sitting at the table. Halsey glares at me for some reason, while Luke gives me a small smile as well. I sit beside him and wrap my arm around him. Halsey lunges forward at me but quickly stops and slowly slides back.

"Are... you okay Halsey?" I ask and Michael sits back down beside Halsey.

"Dude chill." Michael says to her.

"Sorry.. period and.." She trails off before clearing her throat.

"Halsey.. you're pregnant." Michael says.

"Oh.. Oh! Yes, mood swings." She says, giggling and running a hand through Michael's hair.

I look at Luke to see him glaring at Halsey.

"What is wrong with you two?" I ask.

"That's what I asked." Michael says.

I chuckle before leaning into Luke's ear.

"Did you fucking tell anyone?" I ask and he spins his head around.

"Tell anyone what?" He asks quietly.

"We need to go home. I need to talk to you." I say and he leans back before shaking his head.

"N-No.. I-I don't want to." Luke says.
