Sweet Nothing (5SOS)

Chapter 13

I've gotta get this off my chest.

I'm startin' to feel a little unrest.

Oh every time I check my shoulder

I see you there with a clueless-look on your face

I've gotta question your intentions.

You're playing this one by the book.

Whichever version you're preaching from?

I've sung it once before. -Time Is Money. You Me At Six.

Michael's POV

I was fast asleep in my bed then I heard my phone ring. I wonder what time it is? I looked at my clock it was 3:49 in the morning. Who would be calling at this time? I know the boys wouldn't be calling. They all like their beauty sleep. I finally decided to answer it. Maybe it's important.

"Hello" I said sleepily.

"Michael?" A girls voice says.

Wait I know this voice. Its Juliet, why is heck is she calling this early?

"Juliet, whats going on?" I said, panicked.

"Liz kicked me out of the house, Can I stay with you for the night?" Juliet asked sounding like she had been crying.

What?! Liz kicked Juliet out of the house? I wonder why. And why would she call me and not Ashton? 

"What? Why would she kick you out of the house?" I asked and half yelled.

"I'll tell you later, Can I stay with you?" She asked.

"Yeah, I guess." I said.

"Ok see you soon," She sniffed. I texted her my address and waited.

Man I wonder why Liz kicked her out of the house? Did she really do something that bad? I have to find out when she gets here. I hung my fire escape ladder from my bedroom window so she could climb up. I smiled thinking of all the times I used to do this. My mom was completely paranoid and we all had these kits under our bed. I guess something good came out of her paranoia. 

Juliet's POV

Once I hang up the phone with Michael I take the bus the rest of the way to his house. I still had some bus money in my jacket left from when I went to visit Brad in jail. I was still overwhelmed with the Liz kicking me out of the house. I never thought this would happen.

When I arrived to Michael house I saw a ladder hanging out a window. That must be Michael's room. I headed over to the window and climbed up the ladder. Once I got to the top I saw Michael sitting up on his bed.

He helped me through the window and pulled the ladder in. I wonder why he has a ladder in his room? He probably sneaks out a lot. We looked at each other in silence for a while until Michael said something.

"So how did you get kicked out?"

I told him everything from the dream to how Luke and I messed around. But Liz caught us and kicked me out of the house. He was shocked. I think it was because of the Luke part.

"What about Ashton?" Michael asked.

"I know, I'm a slut." I whimpered.

"You are not. You're just confused." He nodded. I turned my head. 

"Are you and Ashton still dating?" His brows pulled together.

"He never officially asked me to be his girlfriend. And then we kind of got in a fight the other day. I really don't know where we stand." I said. I wished I could talk to him.
