For Julia! Hope it's what you were after lovely! x
“Sh, Mikey.” You whisper, trying to hold in your laughter. “Cal can’t hear us, ok?”
“But I want to tell him, Julia.” Michael whines. “He’s gonna find out sooner or later, Ash and Luke already have. I don’t like having to hide you from everyone and Luke’s already teasing me that he’ll tell him.”
“Come on, Mikey. It’s not that I want to hide, it’s just that Calum is so protective of me. He’s my best friend, he’ll flip shit.”
“I’ll protect you.”
You smile softly at your wonderful boyfriend. “I know you will. But I don’t want to be the person that ruins your friendship!”
Michael sighs heavily. “Julia, you mean a lot to me and a lot to Calum. But we’re not going to ruin our friendship over a girl.”
You scowl, frustrated. “I’m not just ‘a girl’, Michael. I’m your girlfriend and Calum’s best friend. Not to sound up myself or anything, but I’m sort of in both of your lives and all I’m saying is that I don’t want to screw anything up for either of you! Now excuse me, Calum will come looking for me soon.”
“It’s always Calum.” Michael says, bitterly. “You’re always choosing him over me, Julia. You can’t do it all the time. I love you, but I don’t want to be in a relationship where all you do is go running after someone else.”
“Michael Clifford you know that Calum is my best friend!”
“And you know that he doesn’t like to share you!” Michael jumps to his feet. “He’ll always want you all to himself unless he knows about us!”
“You’re blowing things out of proportion!” You snap.
“No, I’m not!” Michael says, exasperated. “I love you, Julia, but I just want to be with you, ok? I need you to make a decision!”
You clench your teeth, annoyed with Michael’s stubbornness. “We’ll talk later, Mike. I’m going to go find Calum now.”
You storm out of the room, trying to figure out all your emotions. Pain, definitely. Hurt too. Anger.
You sigh, slouching back against the hallway wall with your head in your hands.
You love Michael, really you do, with all your heart. But Calum would flip. He’s always been your protector.
“Hey, Julia!” Calum’s cheery voice echoes down the hall and you raise your head to offer him a smile.
But he stops, knowing you too well to be fooled.
“What happened?” He asks, seriously.
You sigh and shake your head. “Nothing, Cal.”
“Who am I beating up?”
“No one, Calum!”
“C’mon, Julia. You’re upset, I can tell.” He hunched down next to you. “Talk to Dr. Hood.”
You chuckle despite yourself. “I’m in love with a guy who loves me back. But I think I just ruined things.”
“It’s never your fault, Julia.” Calum advises. “Because I said so. Wait, who's this guy?"
You laugh. “Sure, Cal. Whatever. He's a guy, ok?"
He grabs your hand and tugs you away from the hallway to the stage where the other three 5SOS boys are lazing around.
Luke and Ashton offer cheery hellos but Michael avoids your gaze and you feel a pang in your heart.
Calum, Ashton and Luke efficiently lighten the mood by cracking loud jokes and messing about. You can’t help but feel cheered up, even though the source of your hurt is sitting right next to you.
You glance over and catch his eye. All I want is to hug you right now without being questioned. His gaze is saying.
And you chew your fingernail.
“You know who would be a cute couple?” Ashton’s loud voice breaks into your thoughts and you refocus on him.
“Who?” Luke plays along, smirking.
Oh crap. You know exactly what they’re doing.
“Julia and Mikey!” Ashton crows.
Nibble, nibble, nibble on that fingernail.
Calum shrugs. “He’s not the worst guy for her.”
Your mouth drops open in shock. “What?”
“Well, Julia, you’ve dated some douchebags.” Calum explains. “At least if it was Michael, I could keep an eye on you two. But don’t go rushing into anything.”
“Well, actually, Calum…” You look at Michael, who has a small smile playing on his lips as he looks at you. “Michael is kind of the boy I was talking about before.”
There’s a pause as the thoughts tick back in Calum’s head and his mouth opens. “You’re in love with Michael!?”
“We’ve been dating for nearly two months.” You admit, sheepishly.
“Well why didn’t you tell me?” Calum whines. “Julia, you’re my best friend! We don’t keep secrets!”
“We’re sorry, Calum.” Michael interrupts. “We just didn’t want to ruin any friendships.”
“Well you didn’t.” Calum says, grinning. “I give you my blessing.”
“Great.” Michael smirks. “Does this mean I can kiss my girlfriend now?”
“Absolutely not!”
