Calum's POV

I woke up cuddled into Michael's bare chest. I tried to detangle myself from him but he just pulled me closer.

"Babe?" I whisper.

"Yup?" Michael says half awake. He opens his eyes revealing those perfect muddy green eyes.

"Do you know what day it is?"

"Wednesday Calum."

"Nope."

"Calum I'm pretty sure it's a Wednesday." He mumbled rubbing his eyes.

"Ugh, whatever." I can't believe he forgot my birthday.

I got up from bed and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth because I can even taste my bad breath. While I was brushing my teeth, I see Michael walk into the bathroom. I spit out the toothpaste and stare at Michael.

"Are you sure you don't remember what today is or are you just playing?"

"All I know is that I have plans with Luke today."

"Okay." I walk out of the bathroom disappointed.

I put down my phone and saw Calum walking into the bathroom possibly going to take a shower.

I shoved on a white t-shirt, random pair of black jeans, and shoes. I left a note for Calum saying "had to leave early, Luke wanted to do something early. I'll be home soon ily 💜"

I walked out of our house and began my way towards Luke's house. I bumped into someone, dropping my
phone. "Oops my bad--" I looked at the person and my heart stopped.

"Dad?" I slowly backed away from him but he caught my wrist. "Why did you leave huh? Did you leave with that lanky ass kid who only just wanted to use you? Am I right? Because you're just a--" "Hey!" I was surprised when I heard Calum running up behind me. My father was shocked at how Calum looked. He has tattoos now and has a lot more muscle than Luke and Me. The sides of his heads were shaved and and the tips of his hair dyed blonde.

"It's okay Calum, I got this." I yanked my wrist from my fathers grasp and picked up my phone. "I lost contact with you for a reason okay. You were an abuser to me and my mother. You're so lucky I didn't call the police on you the day I moved out. And yes I live with and love the used to be scrawny boy. So fuck off before I call the police." And that's when I walked away.

Calum's POV

Ashton and I walked around the city just talking to each other for about 3 hours until we reached a park. He was the only one who said happy birthday to me. "Michael didn't even remember it was my birthday!"

"Tragic." He says sipping on his drink. "Ashton I'm serious." I said frowning. "Okay okay gosh you little birthday brat." Ashton sat on the grass and he patted his thigh for me to lay down on. I took his offer and laid my head on his thighs and just stared into the sky for awhile.

After 15 minutes, Ashton pushed me off him. "Let's go, I got to go pick up something from Luke's." I nodded and we began walking out of the park. As we began walking I began singing. More like screaming.

"IVE GOT A MIGRAINE." I screamed.

"No Calum shut up." Ashton groaned.

"AND MY PAIN WILL RANGE FROM UP DOWN AND SIDEWAYS."

"Calum if you keep screaming I'm killing you." Ashton turned to me and smiled.

"Fine." I pouted and walked up Luke's
steps. Ashton took the spare key from under the pot and opened the door. The living room was pitch black, I couldn't see a thing. "Ashton turn on the lights!" "I'm on that." The lights flicked on and I stood there in shock.

"Happy Birthday!" Everyone screamed. "Holy shit." I covered my mouth and I felt like crying. "You did this all for me?"

"All for you" Luke said.  "Thank you so much." I hugged him. "Michael said he was gonna be with you but where is he." I asked. "Good question Calum! Follow me." Luke dragged me to his backyard and it was all decorated with hearts and flowers. And the best thing I saw, was Michael in the middle, on one knee.

"Michael," I said my voice shaking. I slowly walked up to him. "Calum, I had no idea I would be in this position right now if it wasn't for you. My dad would of probably killed me. And I know that if I wasn't there that day when you were unconscious on the floor with an empty pill bottle, you wouldn't be alive." Michael wiped his tears with his sleeve. "I'm so thankful for you Calum. You make my world. You make me the happiest person ever when I see your face. So I'm asking you Calum. Will you be mine forever, and marry me?"

I stood there in happiness and there's falling down my face. I was also aware everyone was watching.

"Yes, yes, yes! I would love to marry your stupid ass." He stood up and placed the diamond ring on my finger. I looked at it and it said "I will always love you." And on the other side it had a heart.

I looked at him and was speechless. "Michael I--" "I love you." "Too the moon and back."

"Too the moon and back."

He lips softly pressed against mine. They both moved in sync. It felt like,
I was finally home.

THE END
