Ashton:
"Save it Ashton. Just know when you get home, I won't be there."
You were full of shit when you told him you wouldn't be home when he returned. Of course you were going to be there. No matter how angry, annoyed, or whatever you are you could never just leave like that. So here you sat, crying on the end of your bed.
You were sobbing so hard into your hands that you missed the sound of Ashton entering the apartment, or his footsteps carrying him to the door, or even the sound of him in the room.
"Babe," He utters, rushing towards you before dipping down before you on the floor. His hands rest against your knees and you feel his hot breath fan against you. As much as you didn't want to see him right now, you did feel slightly calmer now that he was here. "Look at me please baby." He pleads, taking your hands in one large hand.
"No, Ash-"
"Baby, please." You open your teary eyes and stare down at Ashton before you. His eyes were puffy and bloodshot like yours, as if he had spent a long while crying. "I'm so, so, so sorry. I'm an idiot boyfriend who didn't realize he was hurting you because my head is far up my ass." You couldn't help but slightly chuckle at his words, though you were still crying.
"Ash-"
"No, hear me out. You're right. I'm only home for a short period of time and I should spend time with you. I see now that writing full-time with the guys was my mistake, a big mistake."
"No, you should work. I'm being selfish."
"No Y/N, you're not." You wipe the tears from your eyes as you watch Ashton. "I love you so much and I can't sacrifice spending time with you any longer. I got management to give me a few more days at home before I need to be in LA but I need to know that you forgive me." You nod your head pulling Ashton to you.
"I forgive you. Always."
Calum:
"You can yell at me all you want after I'm done with this. Until then you do whatever the hell you want. Leave or stay, it's up to you."
As much as you hated to admit it, his words stung and as much as they pained you to hear over and over in your head; you weren't going to give up on this relationship, just because of a bad argument. So you waited for him. You waited until he was finished with the show, moving yourself out to the tour bus to avoid the thirty minute break the guys would take after every show. The chatter from the front of the bus signaled that the show was all finished and so was their break and it only grew louder as they approached the rear.
"Y/N?" You look up, meeting Luke's confused facial expression. Behind him you could see Calum, staring at you with a blank expression. "Are you okay?" He notices your body language; usually you were walking onto the bus with them with joy in your eyes, but not today.
"Could I just speak with Cal, alone please?" Luke glances from Calum then back to you before backing out of the doorway and pushing Calum in before shutting the door firmly.
You both stand in silence for a few minutes, unsure of what to say to each other. Should you apologize or should he, or should you both?
"I'm sorry!" You both finally exclaim, not being able to take the silence any longer.
