Painful Love (MC fanfiction)

ASHLEY'S POV

"We were out as a band in London one time. Luke brought Aleisha. It was me, Calum and Michael who were out and about constantly. One time, I was drunk and kissed Calum. Calum said the next day that he was gay and he knew. I wasn't. Or at least, I didn't know at the time. I still don't. Then Michael avoided us and stayed away from us. I told him it's okay to tell us what's wrong. He said he had feelings for me. When he said that, I realized I did, too. I kissed him and I had those feelings. But on the plane ride back to here, he sat next to a girl and they liked each other. Because of that, he said that maybe his feelings for me were wrong. I sucked it up and sooner or later my feelings towards him disappeared. He's suddenly started taking a more serious liking towards guys. He came out like almost a year ago that he was gay. Recently, he met you. Now he's confused." He storied.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry." I said, covering my mouth in shock. "I didn't know you and Michael used to be a thing."

"No, I was just an English love affair to him. I think we both forgot it ever happened." He waved his hand.

I just nodded. "Let's go back to the boys."

We walked back to them and I sat on the floor. "Guys, Rena texted me!"

"Rena?" I asked Calum.

"Yeah. When we went for the radio thing, we came right after Cherri Bomb. Remember? Yeah. They have their youngest member, Rena, as the bassist. She liked our music and asked me for my numbers, saying that she'd like to be my friend." Calum smiled.

"Dude, she's like... Thirteen?" Ashton said, his face contorting in disgust.

"I didn't say I like her, I said she wants to be my friend." Calum glared at him.

"She's so young." I said.

"Yeah. I think she's thirteen to fourteen-ish. Their lead guitarist and frontman, however, is fourteen and her name is Julia Pierce." Calum said.

"They sure have a lot of time left for them." Aleisha said, Luke nodding along.

"We should get going." Michael said, finally. We all stood up and headed out. I texted my mom saying we were leaving.

They turned on the radio and we all sat at the exact same seats we sat on the way to dinner the other day.

"Put on some Marilyn Manson, geez." I complained.

"What's your favorite song by him?" Calum asked.

"Third Day Of A Seven Day Binge. The recent one. Damn, I'm in love with that song. I used to love his old music and only his old music, but man. That song." I explained.

"I don't know. It's kinda like pop-ish, don't ya think?" Luke asked.

"No, not at all! It's just the same as all of his other songs, but better." I tried to theorize.

"Yeah, okay." Ashton laughed, putting in the CD with one hand and turning it up.

"Rena!" Calum called, stretching his arms out. She accepted and hugged him.

"Oh, you brought friends?" She asked, looking at each of us.

"Yeah. This is Luke with his girlfriend, Aleisha. This is Ashton, that's Michael. And this is Ashley." Calum said, resting a hand on my upper back after calling my name.

"Hey. I'm Rena, Rena Lovelis. I'm also in a band like you guys. I'm the bassist of my band. I have Julia as our Luke. And Miranda as Michael but she also rocks the keys. Our drummer is my sister, Nia Lovelis. We're called Cherri Bomb." She said, smiling afterwards.
