Wrapped Around Your Finger

Chapter 23

When I awoke from my dark slumber. I took a good look at Michael. I can still tell by the smell of the perfume he was lingering all over him that's it's like 40 dollars too cheap. I shook my head and shot up out of my bed. It was only 4 am but I couldn't sleep. I went out into the kitchen. I made a pot of coffee and put together a list of pros and cons.


Pros: He isn't cheating on me and it was just a miss understanding.

Cons: He's cheating on me and the boy is about to die.

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. Was he really cheating on me? I mean, I know he's getting famous, but you would think the kid would learn to keep it in his pants. I heard rustling upstairs and Ashton popped into the kitchen. "I saw the light on, I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay." Ashton smiles, I almost broke into tears. I shook my head and looked at him. "Did he?" I questioned. Ashton didn't say anything, he just looked at the floor. "My god." I laughed. It wasn't happy tears. I felt like if I didn't laugh, I would start crying. And crying is not what I want. "He didn't come back with us, but we don't know. He was really pissed up Dalia," Ashton whispered, I felt as if I wasn't getting enough air. "And you didn't think to take him back here? I thought you were supposed to be his friend! Jesus Christ Ashton! You are supposed to fucking watch over your friends when they get too drunk because this would fucking happen!" I yell off the top of my lungs. I did not care who had heard. I wanted answers.

I bit my lip and ran upstairs. "Dalia, wait!" Ashton called after me. I bit my lip so hard that I drew blood. I flew the door open to my bedroom. The door had hit the dresser and a couple of ordainments had fallen from their places. A couple of picture frames had shattered. "Michael!" I yelled and he stirred awake. I ripped the covers off of him and slapped his face. He woke up then. "What the hell Dalia? It's five in the goddamn morning!" Michael yelled and got out of the bed. I laughed at him. He looked confused. "Nice to know that you're cheating on me babe, whatever happened to loyalty and trust, huh?" I taunt. Michael stepped down, I knew that if I pushed him too far, he would lose his temper. He didn't say a word.

"Why did you do it?" I ask and he laughed. I was pushing him to his edge. "Why?" I yelled. "Becuase I don't love you, Don't you get it? This whole fucking thing was a bit with Blake. The bet was that I could get you in bed, and truth be told. It was not worth the money I paid. It took me almost 8 years. All that time and It still was not worth it." Michael laughed. I felt hot tears brimming my eyes. I blinked them away and bit my lip again.

"Here, you know what. If it wasn't worth it, then" I say and I walked over to the window and opened it. I pushed out the screen and walked over to the dresser. I pulled out everything he owned, whether it was shirts to picture frames. And I threw it out the window. "Dalia, stop," Michael whispered, but I ignored him. "Get the fuck out of my bed, get the fuck out of my room. Get the fuck out of my house, and get the fuck out of my god damn life!" I yelled. He stood there silently. "How could you do this to me? I trusted you...You are a fucking liar, you are worthless I never want to ever talk to you or see you again. So go fuck yourself. Fuck you" I yell and he laughed at me. "Well you can't really blame me then now can you, it was your fault." I pushed him out of my room. I slammed the door and slid down the back of it crying. "Dalia! Open the god damn door!" Michael yelled from the other side. I locked it and crawled into my bed. I ripped off the sheets and pillows. I crawled onto my empty bed and fell asleep crying.

I felt somebody patting my head, I opened my eyes to find Brooklyn carrying Lexi. "How are you doing?" Brooklyn asked and I almost started crying. "Ashton! Take Lexi," Brooklyn called out. Minutes later Ashton came into my room and took Lexi. Brooklyn crawled into my bed and cuddled me. "I just thought he was different. It's fucking Michael for crying out loud! Why would he do that to me Brook?" I cry and she shook her head. "I don't know baby cakes, I just know that he doesn't deserve you." She whispered into my ear. "Where is he?" I questioned and she sighed. "He went to his parents' house. He thought that he needed to get away from you to make you feel better." She rubbed my back. I put my face in her neck. I cried softly. "I loved him.."

"Shhh, I know baby cakes. It will get better, I promise you." Brooklyn rubbed my back. It may have soothed me for a little. I wanted to just lay there for a while. I didn't have the energy to get up. "Did you really throw all his things out of the window?" She asked and I nodded. "You're too dramatic, it's too damn adorable." She laughed and I giggled. She got me out of my room and headed downstairs. My eyes were bloodshot, they were very irritated. I guess you could say that I have been crying in my sleep if it was a thing.

"Hey sweets, how are you doing?" Calum questioned and I almost started crying. "Aww shit, way to go Calum. You made her cry again!" Luke sighed. Calum started apologizing, I kind of laughed. I went over to Calum and crawled onto his lap. "Sing to me?" I whisper and he smiled. "Sure thing Princess,"

"You want some Ed?" Calum whispered and I nodded. He sighed and Luke busted out his acoustic guitar.

"I really loved him Cal-Pal," He nodded and rubbed my back.

"Give me love like her, 'Cause lately I've been waking up alone. Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt told you I'd let them go.And that I'll fight my corner, maybe tonight I'll call ya. After my blood turns into alcohol,

No, I just wanna hold ya.Give a little time to me or burn this out, we'll play hide and seek to turn this around. All I want is the taste that your lips allow, My, my, my, my, oh give me love (x5). Give me love like never before, 'cause lately, I've been craving more. And it's been a while, but I still feel the same, Maybe I should let you go. You know I'll fight my corner, and that tonight I'll call ya After my blood is drowning in alcohol. No, I just wanna hold ya." Calum sang softly into my ear. The cords to the guitar are matched is voice perfectly. It wasn't heavenly, it was harmony

"Give a little time to me or burn this out, We'll play hide and seek to turn this around. All I want is the taste that your lips allow. My, my, my, my, oh give me love, my myGive a little time to me or burn this out, We'll play hide and seek to turn this around. All I want is the taste that your lips allow. My, my, my, my, oh give me love (x5), M-my my-my, m-my-my, give me love, lover (x12)"

"love me, love me, love me M-my my, m-my-my, m-my-my, give me love, lover (give me love)," Luke and Ashton both joined in by that point. I was already. Luke stopped strumming the guitar, and Ashton stopped thumping the coffee table. "My, my, my, my, oh give me love,"

"I really loved him Cal-Pal," He nodded and rubbed my back. "I know Dali, I know. He had

After my eventual day, I don't think that I ever left Calum's side.
