Best Friend's Boyfriend
Chapter 12

Michael's back. And surprisingly, he's very happy.

Usually whenever Michael has to leave a place he gets sad.

"Meekle?" I say cautiously. He hums in response. "Are you okay?"

He beams. "Yep. I had a wonderful flight. Calum's coming over!"

My eyes light up. "Calum?"

"Yep."

"Is he bringing Luke?" I say, trying not to sound too guilty.

Michael shrugs. "I don't know. All I know is Calum's coming!"

I raise an eyebrows. "Why does that make you so happy?"

Michael's smile falters for a moment. "Because Cal's my friend! Plus, we're having movie night, remember? We always have movie nights on Thursday."

I sigh. "I wish Ben was here."

"You see him in school, don't you?" Michael asks.

"Yeah. I just kind of miss him. We haven't talked much."

"You guys okay?" Mikey asks, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah. We just haven't gotten the time to kind of talk. Like properly. This entire week."

"Do you want to invite him over?" Michael asks half-heartedly.

"He's got to check out the comments on some plane thrice a week. He's not free," I mumble.

Mikey shrugs. "Well, go set the popcorn before Cal-" the doorbell rings. "-arrives."

I shrug. "Too late. You go do it, I'll get the door."

"Okay," he calls out.

I walk towards the door and yank it open. "Hey, Calu- Luke?"

He blinks. "Ashton?"

I turn to Calum. "Mikey said you were coming only."

"And you said Ashton would probably not be there," Luke states, furrowing his eyebrows.

Calum chuckles nervously. "Well, about that..."

He suddenly shoves both Luke and I into the door and locks it behind.

Luke falls on top of me, and we quickly scramble away from each other.

"You two," Calum points at us. "Have some serious tension shít going on. And you will fix that while Michael and I-"

"-do movie night," Michael finishes.

I gape at them, appalled. "Seriously, guys?"

Luke scrambles up to meet Mikey. "Babe, please don't make me do this, I hones-"

"Luke," Michael states sternly. "Calum and I will be in the living room if you need us. Go to Ashton's room. I do not want to deal with drama issues between my best friend and my boyfriend."
