Pieces of Time

Michael's POV

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." I looked at Winter, "um- go upstairs?" I questioned.

"Is it Ashton?" She asked. "Please, go upstairs. I promise you will talk to him but not right now." I begged.

She sighed then quickly darted up the stairs. I tried to calm myself as I walked toward the door.

"What took you so long mate?" Calum snapped as I opened the door.

"FUCK! YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK! I THOUGHT YOU WERE ASHTON!" I yelled.

"Why? Is she here?" He whispered.

"WINTER! You can come down!" I shouted.

Within seconds she came bouncing down the stairs. "Oh it's the adorable asshole." She sighed.

"What?" Calum said confused. I just laughed, "Sorry mate."

"Why am I an asshole? I don't even know you." Calum said offended.

"Mr. Celebrity over here said you were an adorable asshole." She shrugged.

"What are these nicknames?" Calum said even more confused. "Just go with it mate." I laughed.

"Anyway," Calum said. "Um- does she-" He stopped.

"She has a name!" Winter crossed her arms in front of her.

"Winter, already knows almost everything. I told her just now." I said.

"Well Ashton insisted that you come to eat with us." Calum shrugged.

He glanced between Winter and I, then smirked, "You should come with us. You can see Ashton and meet Luke."

"Luke is the other asshole." I clarified.

Maybe it was a good idea that Winter spend time with Ashton. Seeing her could trigger something.

"But he doesn't know me anymore, he didn't even recognize me at the airport. Besides, he wouldn't want to see me." She sighed.

"What do you mean?" I dared to ask.

"When you tell me everything, I'll tell you everything." She sassed.

"We've spent a year looking for you and we really think you can help Ashton recover what he lost." Calum smiled.

Ashton's POV

"What's taking them so long?" I sighed as we sat in the restaurant.

Luke, Nicole and I have been waiting for Calum and Michael for an hour now.

"Maybe Calum had a hard time convincing him." Luke shrugged with Nicole leaning into his shoulder.

"He shouldn't come. We would all have a much better time." Nicole smirked.

"What?" I said. "You want to come on tour with us, yet you don't want to hang out with Michael?" I laughed just thinking about how the tour would be.

"When are we leaving again?" Nicole said before taking a sip of water.

"A week from today babe." Luke smiled down at Nicole. "Oh right. I have to go shopping." She smiled.

"Why?" I asked. "Because I have no clothes to take to the UK." She seemed annoyed as she answered. As if I was stupid for asking such a question.

"Do you want me to shop for you too Luke?" She asked looking up at him.
