2.6 "I Mean, Calum Or Luke"

Thursday, November 13, 2014 - night

Ashton's POV

I can't believe I lost Luke for the second time tonight, but now I know for sure he's with Adrianna. He better not do anything stupid or I swear I'll kill him. Okay maybe I won't because he's my best friend, but so is Hailey. What the fuck am I supposed to do in this situation? Eventually after searching for Luke for a good 15 minutes, I sigh and go back to sitting in the same spot as I was before. I search the room one more time before giving up and just my luck, I see Luke standing against the wall all by himself. 

"I just sat down" I groan to myself and get up to Luke. When I'm face to face to him he looks up with me with sad eyes. His look of regret. "Luke please don't tell me what I think you're going to say"

He stands up straight, now looking down at me. "I don't know what you're talking about"

Before I can get a word in he says "This is boring, let's just leave" and leaves me standing there alone wondering if nothing happened, or if he was just lying.

Hailey's POV 

I finally stopped crying while I was dancing with Calum but I stayed silent. My mind can't even process what just happened. He said he wanted a break for just tonight, but what if he decided that he really did want to break up. I can't lose him. He's always been there for me when I was feeling down and he'd always support me through all of my decisions. I don't know what I'd do if he wasn't with me anymore.

"Hey, are you okay now?" a soft voice spoke interrupting my thoughts.

I look up at him and nod my head. Calum. The other important boy in my life, besides Ashton. He was everything the opposite of Luke when I first met him. He was rude, disrespectful, and basically an asshole. I don't know how he and I started becoming as close as we did, but I'm glad we did.

"Listen Hailey, I need to tell you something" he says. "I know you're feeling really sad right now and I don't really know how to help you but I will always be here for you. If you wanna talk or just have someone that'll listen, I'll always be here. I don't know if you didn't notice but Hailey, fuck. I'm so crazy about you. I was such a dick to you at the start but I don't know. Before I'd only want to hook up and I would never even think about being in a relationship but then you came along. You made me for the better" He starts leaning in but I couldn't. 

"Calum" I stop him from coming closer. No matter what position Luke and I are in right now, I would never cheat on him. I'm not that type of person. "I'm sorry but I wouldn't feel right if we.." 

He nods understanding my situation.

"After seeing Michael do that to Juliet, I would never bring myself to doing that" I explain. "I love you Calum, as a best friend and I'm so grateful we became this close" I hug him tightly and he takes a second before wrapping his own arms around me realizing that I basically just friendzoned him after his confession to me.  

"Just make sure Luke doesn't hurt you because if he does I won't hesitate to kick his ass" he says.

I laugh quietly. "Thanks Calum, I knew I made the right decision to choose you" 

Calum's POV

"Thanks Calum, I knew I made the right decision to choose you" she said.

Choose me? Does she mean by choosing to stay here with me tonight rather than go to After Semi with Luke? Or does she mean she just chooses me over Luke overall? Well obviously not overall because even after I just confessed all of my feelings to her, she just friendzoned me. Ugh, I probably sound like such a sissy right now. I don't see why she's still with Luke, I can treat her so much better than he ever will. It was probably because I was a dick to her when I first met her. Fuck, I regret that so much. Maybe if I was nicer to her at the start, she would be smiling and laughing instead of crying on my shoulder. I would never make her cry.
