Ashton
"Guys! Hey slow down!" I yell as I try to catch up with Calum and Michael.

They both turn and smile happily. "I thought you were talking to Luke?" Michael asked and I shrugged, looking down at my shoes with a sigh.

"You guys looked upset, I had to make sure you were okay." I mumbled and I looked up at them, they were both smiling brightly.

"We're fine." Calum says and I nod.

"Can I ask you guys s-something?" I ask and clear my throat.

"You just did." Michael says with a chuckle at the same time Calum says, "Yes." I roll my eyes at him but can't help but giggle.

"Okay, um." I take a deep breath and frown, wringing my hands nervously.

"Hey, you okay?" Calum asks and puts his hand on my shoulder. I only nod.

"I um, I just have this weird feeling, you know? Ever since...ever since our fight, everything just feels..different. I don't know how to describe it but you guys are just acting different and I can't take it anymore and I just want to know what's going on. Like our we over or-"

"Ashton." Michael says and I stop my rambling, biting my lip nervously. Michael looks at Calum and he sighs.

"Well I'm gonna tell him so if you don't want to then you should probably go." Calum mumbles under his breath to Michael.

"W-what? Tell me what?" I ask and they both look at me.

"Ashton." Calum takes a deep breath and let's it out before looking over my head and avoiding eye contact with me.

"I love you." Calum blurts out and my eyes widen. What?

"And I love you too, and we don't want to make you choose but, we do at the same time." Michael mutters, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

What? Wait, what?

Excuse me did I hear them correctly?

"...What?" I say and shake my head Incredulously.

"We love you." Calum says slowly and I stare at them blankly, blinking a few times before it starts to sink in. Oh god.

My cheeks heat up and I open and close my mouth multiple times.

I want to tell them. I want to tell them I feel the same, confess my love. But then how do I choose who I love more?

My stomach does flips and I feel like I'm going to puke. This was hard and scary and now I was starting to have trouble breathing. I can't choose! They can't ask me to do that! I can't hurt them.

I do the only thing I can think of, I run away as fast as I can.

Holy shit the people I've loved for years just confessed their love to me and now I'm running away.

Although it was fair because I was pretty sure I was going to barf and I didn't want to puke all over them, or in front of them, or near them, or at all.

I run back to the dressing room, only to find it empty. I furrow my eyebrows and look in the bathroom in confusion.

Luke was gone.

I groaned and laid down on the couch. Why did these boys have to do this to me?

I looked up at the ceiling and took deep breaths as I tried to calm down, and then it hit me.

What. The. Actual. Heck. Did. I. Just. Do?

Calum and Michael just confessed to me! That's exactly what I wanted! And I ran away.

I ran away.

What was I thinking?

Oh god I just left them there in the hallway. They're probably so confused, oh no I probably hurt their feelings.

I jumped up and ran to find them again. I needed to reassure them that I was okay with it, that I felt the same.

But as I turned the corner I ran right into someone and fell down on the ground, smacking my head off the ground, hard. Just my luck.

I groaned and rub my head, but when I pulled my hand back, it was red.

"Fuck." I looked up to see Luke staring at me with wide eyes. "Oh my god Ashton stay still." He said and grabbed my chin, tilting my head around to look at my head.

I was a little dizzy and him yanking my head around wasn't helping. I blinked hard before my eyes focused again.

"Ashton? Ashton?" I blinked again and looked at Luke who was looking at me worriedly.

"Oh god. Are you dizzy? How many fingers am I holding up?" He asks and I just nod, squinting my eyes because it hurt to keep them open.

"I don't know, 4?" I say and Luke squeaks.

"Oh god I killed you. It's two Ash. Ok I'm gonna get a medic. Oh gosh that's a lot of blood." I groan as he rambles.

"Of course this would happen. I just wanted to tell them how I feel." I whine to myself and Luke helps me up carefully.

"It's ok Ash." Luke says and I groan in annoyance, he mistakes it as pain.

"No Luke." I whine as we get outside and Luke pulls his phone out, dialing what I assume is the cops who will send an ambulance. I think he was overreacting.

"I love you Luke." I say suddenly and he stops talking to look at me with wide eyes.

Crap, did I say that out loud?
