Run away// C.H. (NEW STORY)

Zoe's pov

I haven't been sleeping lately and my body has gotten used to it, so I wasn't surprise when I woke up at 8. I was hoping to sleep in. I was jealous of Calum, who was sleeping like a baby, right next to me.

When making myself some coffee, I heard crying coming from the room, Calum and I gave to Michael.

I knock on the door, and hear Michael trying to put himself together, before muttering, "Come in."

I walk in and see his face red and blotchy, with tear stains all over his pillow.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask, my voice still a little raspy.

"Nothing," he sniffles.

"Michael, talk to me," I tell him.

He sighs, "I'm so lonely. You have Calum, Luke has Arzaylea, and Ashton has Bryana. Nobody likes me! I'm just a fat, ugly, ugly-haired, boy."

"You are not. You are handsome, funny, and amazing. You just need to find someone who would appreciate you," I rub his back.

"There is no one. I'm going to be alone forever. I want someone like you," he slowly says.

"Please. You could get someone better,"
I chuckle.

He shakes his head, and surprises me when he leans in and presses his lips against mine.

I pull away, "What are you doing?"

"I-I'm sorry," he stutters.

"Michael, I get that you're vulnerable, but-" I start, but he interrupts me by dashing out of the room and out of the house.

He slams the door, waking Calum. Calum walks into the room, where I was sitting in the bed, still in shock.

"What happened?" Calum asked me.

"Nothing. He was just crying about how nobody likes him and I argued with him telling him that it wasn't true but he just bolted out of here," I tell Calum, leaving out the part where Michael kissed me.

Calum and Michael were best friends. It was a small kiss, that Calum doesn't need to know about. He would make a big deal out of it, and I wouldn't want to start that.

"He'll be back soon. Give him some time to cool off," Calum tells me, helping me off the bed and out of the room.

"Hey, is Mikey okay?" Luke asks, walking out of his room.

"Yeah. He just needs some space," I tell Luke.

It had been hours and Michael still hasn't come back.

I was starting to get worried.

"I'm going to go look around. Who wants to come with?" Luke asks.

I offer my help and we leave Calum and Arzaylea alone back in the house.

Calum's pov

I sit on the couch, trying to get a hold of Michael. It was no use.

Arzaylea joins me on the couch.

"You do know why Michael left, right?" Arzaylea asks.

"Yeah. He was mad that he was the only single one."

She laughs, "No. I heard Zoe and him talking and Michael mentioned that he wanted a girl like Zoe, and next thing I know, they're kissing."

I didn't believe the words coming out of her mouth.

Why would Zoe do that to me?

It made me furious, and I wasn't thinking so I grab Arzaylea and pin my lips to hers. She didn't resist and, instead, she went with it.

We continue this for quite a long time, until the door flings open with Zoe appearing.

"What the hell?" She yells.

"I leave for two seconds, and you start to get on the verge of screwing Arzaylea?!" She turns red from all the anger building up in her body.

"You kissed Michael!" I argue.

"He kissed me and I pulled away! I can't believe you Calum! I had finally trusted you and this happens," she speaks, with gritted teeth.

"Zoe-" I start, but she interrupts.

"Don't. Please don't. Just continue your little lip play with her. I'm done," Zoe sighs, before leaving, again.

"You lied?" I asked Arzaylea.

"No. They kissed, did they not?" She says, with a devilish grin, not concerned with the fact that Zoe will tell Luke and Luke will, most likely, break up with her.

"Fuck you, Arz. You're such a bitch, to me, Michael, Zoe, and Luke!"

"Whatever. You kissed me. Don't forget that," she walked away.

I wanted to pull her head off. I didn't know how someone could be so evil.

I heard my phone buzzing, and I looked at it to see Luke's name pop up on the screen.

I answer, "Hello?"

"Why are you kissing my girlfriend?!" He exclaims.

"Luke, I-i don't know what to say," I sigh.

"Yeah you don't. Because you're a coward. You just ruined a perfectly good relationship and friendship," he hangs up.

He was right. I had lost Luke and Zoe, in the act of jealousy and anger.

While trying to process what just happened, Michael walks in.

"Oh. Hey," he mutters.

"Don't 'oh hey' me. You kissed my girlfriend?!" I questioned.

He ignored me and went into his room.

Just as I thought, this couldn't get any messier, it did.

Ashton stormed out of the room, he had imprisoned himself in for the last couple of days, and yelled at me, "I was the one who got my sister to trust you and now I get a call from her crying that you betrayed her trust?!"

"No. Ashton. It's not like that. Arzaylea told me that Zoe and Michael kissed, so I got mad and kissed Arz."

"You're disgusting," Ashton says, before colliding his fist with my jaw.

I sat there moaning in pain. How could I be so stupid?

I just lost the love of my life.
