The boys and I were all very confused at Calum's sudden burst. I feel as though it was directed towards me befriending Marie again, maybe he feels like I'm trying to get her back? I tried not to let him mess with my head and break my focus before the show. I showed up a bit later than I should've, I took the front entrance to Luke's house. Ashton and him were playing a card game on the floor and Cal sat on a separate couch on his phone. "Hey guys" I greeted them, everyone mumbled back a hello except for Calum. I sat down on the single seat and took out my phone which had 2 familiar names spread across it.
From; Marie.
gonna be a little late to the show, my moms bitching but i'll sneak out if i have too :)
From; Alex
can we talk after the show? it's important.
I ignored Alex, the last thing I wanted was to think about her. I know I can't control Calum, to be honest he's only interested in hurting people. But I thought me and Alex had something special, I guess not.
Eventually the time came to go up on stage, we did our usual intro and played a few new songs. Half way through the first half Marie came through the door. Dressed in a velvet black t-shirt that stuck to her body in a way that made it hard to speak. She was wearing a flannel around her black skinny jeans and some more makeup than she usually wears.

Marie's POV
"Hey," a hand tapped my shoulder. I turned to face a girl, short and very pale with very dark hair.
"Hi," I smiled at her, still bopping my head and yelling a little. "Are you Marie?" she asked me and I nodded.
"Oh, hey. I'm Alex. Michael's... friend.. girl.. it's complicated - anyways, um. Your dating Calum right?" Alex asked me. I stopped dancing and turned to speak to her properly.
"No actually, we broke up about a week or two ago" I answered her.
"Oh, sorry." I'm not. "So last night Calum came over and tried to kiss me and stuff but I stopped him and basically he told me that he was really sorry about the whole Jailee thing. It was a whole big misunderstanding and alot of influences, he told me that you were his first love and he just didn't want to loose you. But he did. Marie, Calum loves you. And he just wants a chance."
My blood boiled. I'm not sure why I was so angry with the girl, but I just was. Calum actually made out with one of Michael's ex-girlfriends then after she rejected him, he spilled some tea hoping for her to pity him and either finish or come tell me about it. Or maybe he straight up asked her to talk to me for him. Either way, he cheated on him and then screwed over his best friend.
Calum could buy me New York, and scream out his love to the world but I wouldn't take him back, I wouldn't get hurt again. "Okay" was all I said to the girl before stomping away and out to the front of the house where I entered, and conveniently found Michael sitting on the couch, on his phone.
He heard my footsteps and turned to face me, he smiled setting down his phone. "You look ni-" I cut him off by placing myself on his lap and kissing him hard. Michael seemed taken back, yet he didn't pull away. His hands roamed around me, starting from my waist and going down to my butt. My hands ran through his now black hair. I began kissing down his neck and his hands drifted to the tie of my flannel before pulling it off and throwing it to the ground. He laid on his back and I stayed where I was. Soft moans started leaving his mouth.
Even though Calum wasn't here and would never even find out about this it was just satisfying, possibly hurting him the way he hurt me. Michael's arms around me would never feel as good as his, Michael's lips pressed onto mine would never feel as good as his.
Calum's POV
I walked around the crowd, bought a beer and was just casually drinking and talking with Ashton's girlfriend. I could feel eyes on me, and I originally thought it was Ash - I wouldn't really blame him for not trusting me but it was Alex.
"Hey." I approached her, she smiled.
"Hey. So I talked to Marie for you, it seemed to have gone pretty well. As soon as I was done she ran to go find you. I think she's in the house right now, looking for you" Alex told me and I cracked a huge smile.
"Really?" I asked and she nodded. "Thank you!" I said excitedly, squeezing her hand before hurrying around Luke's house and through the front door. My eyes trailed around the room, trying to find the girl, but then I did. Making out with my best friend. In complete shock, I dropped my beer. Glass shattered and the drinks pilled everywhere. Michael's eyes shot up, but Marie's back stayed faced to me. Michael made eye contact, smirked and then looked back at her. I turned on my heel, stomping out of the house, not hesitating to slam the door shut and leave. Leaving my band a bassless half way through their 2nd self-produced gig.
