Break Up

Calum-

"Everything alright?" Calum asked after opening his door for you. "You usually walk in."

"We need to talk, Cal." You took a breath.

Calum sighed. "Yeah, we do. Come on in."

You walked in and stood in his living. "We need to talk about what is going on with us. We agreed to take some space from each other and we have but now I need to know what we are doing. You've been seen with Nia and everyone is wondering if we are still together."

Calum nodded. "Well, why don't you tell me what is going on with your mind?"

"Do you want the truth?" You asked honestly. He nodded. "Honestly, I was hoping that this space thing would get us to come back closer but over the month, I felt relief and not minding the space. I shouldn't be feeling that, Cal."

"So, is this it?" He asked.

You nodded. "I think it would best for both of us if we just made it official and broke up."

"Okay." Calum nodded. "Are we going to try staying friends?"

"I don't see why not. We were best friends before we got together." She smiled. "I have to go. I have classes in half an hour."

Calum nodded and lead you to the door. You two shared a small hug. You waved as you left. What you didn't know was that after you left, Calum slid to the floor and cried.

Ashton-

"How are you holding up, Ashton?" James asked. "Ya know, since you and (Y/N) split."

Ashton took a breath. "I'm getting there. It still hurts when I wake up and she's not there next to me, but she's happy and we still talk."

"What happened exactly?" James looked curious. "All anyone would say was that you two broke up and it was for the best."

"(Y/N) lives in a different country and I'm touring. We would Skype but as she got closer to getting her degree, our vacations and calls became distant and short. We both tried to fight for us, but in the end, (Y/N) did decide that it would be best for us to just go our separate ways and if our paths cross again and our feelings are still present that we can try again."

"Was it mutual?"

"For the most part. I could see where she was getting at but I knew for a long time that she was the one I wanted to spend forever with. I've tried seeing other girls since then but all I can think about is her. So now, I am waiting for our paths to cross again."

Luke-

Luke walked into the apartment and noticed how quiet it was. He looked for you in every room before noticing the note on the kitchen table.

Luke,

I hate that I am doing this but I'm so sorry. I can't take the publicity and the hate. I would never ask you to pick between your dream and me.

I couldn't get myself to wait until you got home to do this but I think it would be best for both of us to break up. I feel like I am dragging you down and not letting you live up to your potential.

I love you and I always will, but I cannot be your girlfriend anymore.

I'm so sorry. I hope that in the future, we can cross paths and everything will be alright, but I can't do this anymore.

Please, do not come after me. You deserve so much more that I can give.

I love you. Please, just continue going after your dream.

Love,

(Y/N)

Luke sat in the chair with a look of disbelief. His love was gone and he needed a way to get you back.

Michael-

Michael watches as you go from your closet to your suitcase then to your dresser then back to your suitcase. "Is there anything I can do to change your mind?" His voice cracks. "Anything at all?"

You shook your head. "This hurts me too, Michael. I don't want to do this but I am not going to be the cause of your life ending. That wouldn't be fair for you or the boys." You looked at his tear stained face and went over to him. You sat on his lap and let him bury his face in your neck. "I will be back as soon as management comes to their senses. I love you, Michael Clifford. My heart will always only belong to you."

He placed a small kiss on your neck. "I love you too."

"This break up isn't forever. We have been together since 9th year. I don't see myself with anyone else." He looked at you. You smiled and kissed him softly. "Call me when you can."

He nodded and reluctantly let you go. He followed you to the front door, where the other boys were waiting. You hugged each of them. "I am so proud of all of you. Continue doing so, yeah?"

They all nodded and you gave Michael one last kiss before heading out of their lives.

Sorry for the late night post, but I started this before work so I thought I would finish it.
