Painful Love (MC fanfiction)

15 | Calum's Mistake

ASHLEY'S POV

"I told you earlier, about how I lied to Michael... Well, I'm sorry, I did it again. I lied. But not only to Michael this time. I lied to the whole band." He took a sharp intake of breath. "...And the cops."

"WHAT?!" Me and Michael both screamed at the same time, staring wide-eyed at him.

"Calum, you don't just lie to cops!" I shouted, sitting on my knees.

"I know. I know that now. It's so wrong. I can't tell them I lied, they'll arrest me." He started sobbing. "But I don't want anyone else to get arrested."

"Told you he's a lying, desperate little bitch." Michael muttered under his breath.

"Michael, now is not the time!" I yelled at him. "Calum, what did you even lie about?"

"I said that..." He started. "Well, it's not really a lie if I told them a few years ago and a few months ago, but I told them now. Which makes it a lie."

"What do you mean?" I grew frustrated.

"I told them about the drugs!" He said, hitting his fist onto his knee painfully.

"WHAT?!" Michael screamed, standing up and staring at Calum with his eyes the size of dinner plates. "Why the fuck would you tell them about that?!"

"I don't know, man. I'm sor-"

"Don't dare to apologize!" Michael said, as if it was obvious. "We made a bro pact!"

"I know, I remember that now..." Calum cried.

"Oh, so it slipped your mind when you were a desperate cock sucker?!" Michael screamed at him, his face showing pure anger.

Mother, I am so sorry.

"Michael, I am honestly, really, truly upset and sorry about all this." Calum sobbed, he looked genuinely sad.

"Guys, calm do-"

"What is wrong with you?! Do you know how bad this is?! We're only on the start of our chance of being a band and now you do this?! Do you know what our parents would think?!" Michael shouted.

"Guys, plea-"

"You are an asshole! I knew I shouldn't give in to you! What did you add on?! That we forced you?! You were the one who called the drug dealer. We just suggested it. Dude, we were drunk out of our minds! You taught us how to do it! You've probably done it more times than we did!" Michael ranted.

"Michael, Cal-"

"I can tell this all to the cops! They'll put you in jail, too! They'd rather be safe than sorry, I know how this works!" He raised his fist to punch Calum, but he flinched.

"Michael, please stop!" He yelled.

"If you kept your cock-sucking mouth shut, none of this would've even happened to begin with!" Michael screamed, punching Calum square in the jaw. He punched him so hard, Calum fell to the ground and clutched his jaw in pain. Michael straddled his stomach, punching him repeatedly.

I jumped off of my spot and attempted to pull Michael away.

"Michael, stop!" I shouted, but he elbowed me in the stomach, causing me to fall back. I clutched my stomach and whimpered in pain.

"Ashley? Oh my God!" He looked over his shoulder. He instantly let go of Calum and ran over to me. I used my hands to back away from him, until I came in harsh contact with the wall. He raised his hand to touch my cheek, but I was so petrified of him I flinched. His whole face expression changed as I did. He let out a strangled breath of shock. He dropped his hand, sitting on his feet. His nose rose to a shade of red as tears continuously rained down his cheeks. "Ashley... Did you think I was gonna hit you? On purpose?"
