Him. // M.C. 5SOS

Chapter 21

(A/N: so this is gonna pick up right where the last one left off.)

{Alanis}

I see the message and my heart skips a beat. Chance is coming home. He's really coming home.

To: Chance at 8:32pm
OMG! I can't believe you're coming home ^.^ we definitely need to hang out!

I can't stop smiling. Chance was my best friend from 6th grade all the way to Freshman year then he left and now he's coming back for senior year!

From: Chance at 8:34pm
I'll be home tomorrow so we should hang out Saturday. Say 5:30pm at sticky fingers?
To: Chance at 8:34pm
Yes! See you then (:

Damn I haven't seen him for a long time. I wonder what he looks like now and how tall he is and all that?

I hear my phone ring again. It's Michael, he wants to FaceTime. I answer.

"Hey Michael" I smile at him.
"Hey Precious" he seems pretty happy.
"Why are you so happy?"
"Just because I'm talking to my girlfriend who is the best girlfriend ever."
"Awe Michael you're so cheesy" I giggle.
"So baby, are you coming to our gig this Saturday?" He does his pouty lip.

I forgot about their gig when I already made plans with Chance. I can't blow off Chance, I mean we did already make the plans.

"Mikey I'm so sorry, I already have plans this Saturday."
"Oh. Who do you have plans with?"
"Uh—well my old friend is coming back home here and he wanted to meet up since its been since freshman year that we've seen each other."
"Well I'm sure you'll—you'll have fun." He plasters on a smile even though I can see in his eyes that he is upset.

I hear my brother and Elliot giggling and yelling in their room and my dad is on the phone with some girl he's been talking to. In other words, it's annoying in my house. Marina is with Luke so I can't go to her house. I'm just gonna take a walk.

I'll go to the park. I turn the block and walk into the park and see Ashton sitting on top of the monkey bars. There's not that many people here except a few couples.

I decide to just walk up to Ash.

"Hey Ashton" he turns around and sees me. He half smiles. "Hey Alanis. Didn't expect to see you here?"
"Yeah it was loud at my house and I just wanted to think. Why are you here?"
"Well my brother and sister are away for the summer so it's just me and my parents at the house but they're always fighting so I'm usually here."
"Oh. I'm sorry"
"It's okay."

We sit there kind of quiet after that. I'm glad me and him can still be okay even after we dated for a while. I wonder if he ever thinks about what it would be like if me and him were together instead of me and Michael.

That's kind of hard to imagine.

*Imagine*
I walk into Luke's garage and see my boyfriend with the boys. "Hey sweet pea" I chuckle at his cheesiness "hey Ash" I kiss his cheek and sit on the couch so they can get back to rehearsal.

After they finish Ashton comes and sits by me. He wraps his arm around me and I cuddle into him. I kiss his nose and giggle.

"You guys are so cheesy I feel like I'm getting diabetes just watching you" Michael says rolling his eyes.
*end*

"Alanis?" I hear someone call my name, breaking me from my thoughts. I turn to face Ashton.
"Yea?" I ask.
"That wasn't me." He points forward and I see Michael standing there.

I hop down and hug him. "Hey babe what're you doing here?"
"Well I just was going for a walk, but I didn't expect to see my girlfriend with her ex." He motions to Ashton who gets down from the monkey bars.
"Michael nothing was happening. I promise. It was a coincidence that I even seen him here."
"Yeah sure."
"Dude, I swear nothing was happening" Ashton says finally stepping in.

Michael just rolls his eyes and walks away as he mumbled something under his breath.

I turn and give Ashton a reassuring look that lets him know I'll handle it.

I follow Michael and stand in front of him. "Mikey, nothing happened. It was loud in my house and so I went for a walk. I seen Ashton here and so I asked what he was doing here then we just kinda sat there. I swear Michael."

He smiles and looks into my eyes. "Okay". I smile and press my lips against his. I love him so much. He wraps his arms around my waist and I rest my forehead on his.
