Dedicated to all of you. I was so ready to delete this story early on and I knew that I would regret it. Thank you all so much for sticking with me for the past year and a half with crazy update schedules and such. I love you all so much! :)
Michael waited outside of Padre's restaurant for Luke and Spencer. They were supposed to have met him there at least fifteen minutes before and Michael was getting more and more irritated by the moment. He glanced into the restaurant window to see if they had somehow slipped in there without noticing Michael sitting on the bench, but he didn't see them anywhere. The only one that he recognized was the bitchy waitress that they had had the last time they met for lunch there. He hoped to God that she wasn't tending to their table again...he was not in the mood for that bitch.
Irritated with his friends, he grabbed his phone from his pocket, typing out a quick text to them. Ever since Michael had gotten back from Melbourne three weeks before, he had only talked to Luke two times. He felt kind of bad, but he had been preoccupied working on improving himself. He was in the process of moving into a more uplifting and homier apartment. He dyed his hair black to make a bit of a change from the usual blonde bleach color. Another thing that he had gained was a job at the music store downtown, selling guitars and giving lessons. It was a job that he enjoyed and it paid enough for him to have a few extra luxuries that he hadn't had before.

He felt more grown up than he had prior to the changes he was making. Another thing he swore off of was the online dating, deleting every single account. His coworker was a genius when it came to technology and he had blocked all of the websites and apps that Michael had used so there wasn't any temptation for him. It was a step to a more mature Michael. Love was something that would find him if it were meant to be. It seemed that the more Michael tried to find it, the more hurt he got. He was done with breaking his own heart.
Michael glanced up from his phone, looking around the semi-busy streets, hoping to see Luke and Spencer walking towards him, but came up with nothing. What got his attention, however, was his name being called.
"Michael? Is that you?"
Michael looked over to the person calling for him and saw none other than Ashton Irwin walking towards him. He almost didn't recognize the guy.
