Chapter 4
Katie looked at you and you at her.
“Who’s that?” You asked her.
“Dunno” she replied
“You don’t think-?” you asked
“No,” she said “he wouldn’t.”
After a few glances at each other she finally got up and walked out of the room and to the door.
You heard a male voice but you were unable to make out who it was.
“Oh come in!” you heard Katie say and you inwardly cursed your best friend for being so nice – you didn’t want to see anyone and she knew that!
“[y/n], Ashton’s here.” Katie called. Walking towards her room.
“Oh, great” you thought sarcastically. You’d never been great friends with Ashton because he was a year older than the rest of you. He normally spent his time with his girlfriend.
“Hey, [y/n]” he said smiling sympathetically.
“Hi” you replied tiredly.
“Ok, I’m not gonna dance around the subject. I need to talk to you about Michael.” He rushed out.
“No Ashton, it doesn’t matter-“ you were cut off by him.
“Yes, it does. Something serious went on and Michael was making everyone weird during tour we almost got kicked out of one of the venues. What happened?” he asked
“Fine” you sighed before leading him to the sofa.
You’d finally managed to carry all the bags down to the taxi outside. You’d loaded the last bag and there was only one thing left.
“Bye” you choked out, hugging him one last time.
“I’ll miss you” he said smiling sadly.
“You’ll come back to visit me though, right?" You asked with tear rolling down your cheeks.
“Yeah of course [y/n]. You’re my best friend.”
“Bye Matthew” you said before kissing his cheek.
You pulled away. You were about to say goodbye one last time when Matthew took your face in both his hands.
“I always liked you [y/n]” he said before crushing his lips to yours. When you didn’t respond he pulled away, disappointed.
“I’m sorry Matthew. I just don’t feel the same. I’m with Michael..” you trailed off.
“I understand” he said as he climbed into the taxi. You waved at him as he drove off tears still falling down your cheeks.
You opened the door into the apartment you shared with Michael. There were things on the floor and the lamp had been pushed over. You noticed that a picture of the two of you had been smashed. You were worried now.
“Michael?” you called.
When you didn’t get a reply you walked through into the living room. Michael was stood in the middle of the room staring at you.
“How long?” he asked. You could tell form his puffed eyes and shaky voice that he’d been crying.
“What a-“ you started.
“Don’t lie to me. I saw the two of you. I want to know how long.” He said way too calmly.
“Michael there is nothing going on with me and-”
“I saw you kissing. Before he left in the taxi. Is that what you do when I’m on tour? Call him up to spend the night?”
“What?! No!”
“I don’t care” he said cutting you off. “I’m leaving, I don’t have to put up with this shit”
“No wait let me explain” you pleaded. You grabbed his arm.
“Explain what? How you cheated on me?” he pulled out of your grasp.
“I didn’t I swear-”
Your voice choked up and you dropped to your knees unable to control your tears.
After explaining all of this to Ashton you broke down again.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t cry but it still hurts you know?” you said.
“It’s alright” he replied handing you a tissue. “I understand”
You took the tissue and smiled at him.
“Thanks, and could you not mention this to Michael? He seems happy with Tammi. I don’t wanna ruin that.” You asked.
“Sure” he replied. “Are you coming to the welcome home party tomorrow night?”
“I don’t know-” you started
“Aw come on. It’ll be fun, everyone’s gonna be there.”
“That’s the problem” you countered.
“You should go” Katie said walking through the kitchen. “I am”
“But I don’t have anything to wear” you whined.
“I thought of that. I’ve got you something, there’s no getting out of this” she said laughing
“We’ll see you tomorrow Ashton” Katie smiled as she closed the door.
“I can’t believe you!” You said glaring at her.
“It’ll be good for you to get out” she retorted. “Plus, Michael will be there” she said glancing at you.
“That’s what I’m worried about” you replied.
