[Ashton's P.O.V.]

I bet that Michael isn't angry at me anymore. I know he can't stay mad at me forever... I mean c'mon we're best mates! I just really want to feel his soft lips on mine again. Maybe if I start being nicer to him, then maybe he'll start falling for me.

I can call him mine.

Michael Clifford will be mine.

I sigh and stand up, asking myself whether I should talk to Michael right now, or let him be alone for a few more days. I start pacing back and forth, getting anxious. What if he hates me... forever? I can't imagine losing him, he means so much to me. But it feels as if I've already lost him.

I've made my decision. I'm going to talk to him right now, whether he likes it or not. I quietly open my door and slowly walk down the hallway, trying to be as quiet as I can.

I press my ear to the door and listen to see if he's awake or not. It's dead silent, but I still want to talk to him. I tap my fist on the door a couple times until I hear his frail voice ask who's at the door.

"Uh.. who is it?" His words fall out of his mouth in a rush. It seems that he's worried, as if he's just been caught doing something he's not supposed to be doing.

"It's Ashton. I just want to talk. Sort all this out. I apologise. It was foolish of me to do that." I say, sighing, relieved that I actually spoke to him since the incident.

"Fuck off." He growls on the side of the door.

"Please. I just want to-"

"I said, fuck off. I'm not talking to you... until I tell Luke." He explains.

"Uh, why do I have to wait until you tell Luke?" I ask.

"Just because." He says.

"Okay. Goodnight, I guess." I shrug and stalk over and lock myself in my bedroom. As if he's ever going to talk to me. You're so stupid Ashton. None of the guys like you. Hell, not even your own parents love you.

I cry until two in the morning. Eventually, I pass out somewhere in between my crying sessions.

[Michael's P.O.V.]

What the hell was with Ashton last night? He knows that I'm fucking pissed at him! Why would he attempt to talk to me or even look at me?!?

I shake my head and drag myself out of bed. I've missed Luke's warmth, but he's been really uptight and violent lately. I can't even face without a feeling of guilt floating in my stomach. I walk down to the living room and take a seat on the couch.

"Hey babe!" Speaking of Luke....

"Oh hi..." I croak. I avoid eye contact with him, playing with my fingers that rest in my lap.

"You seem crabby this fine morning! You should be happy! This is our last day here." He laughs and sits down beside me, basically clinging to my side.

"Yeah... I'm the crabby one... sure."

"Well, you're being a smart ass aren't ya?" He snaps. I nod and face him, finally looking into his ice cold eyes.

"Stop being a dick." He spits, his face now inches from mine.

"Get off." I demand. He shakes his head and gets even closer, our noses now touching.

"But you're my boyfriend." He whimpers. His arms find their way around my waist, and now he had me trapped.

"Yeah... I don't know about that anymore." I admit. I really don't know what's going on between me and Luke. I feel guilty for almost kissing Ashton back. Plus, Luke has been moody and aggressive. I really don't want to break up with him, but I'm on the verge of ending things with him.

"W-what do you mean? You're not... are you?" His voice drops down to a lower and softer tone, his eyes becoming filled with tears. He removes his hands from my waist and puts his face in his hands.

"No... Luke... I-I- that's not what I mean. You've just been so aggressive and moody lately. I just don't know if I can handle your constant mood swings." I turn away from him, trying not to cry in front of him. I've done that enough.

"I'm sorry Michael... I didn't realise that I was being so rude. I promise to try being nicer to you. But that's not a promise...." He says. I nod. He said he'll try, and I guess that's all I get from him. I turn back to him along with a sigh.

"I'll try too. I'll not to be so... emotional, I guess. And I promise to not to let Ashton kiss you too..." I trail off. Oh shit.. holy shit did I just basically tell Luke what Ashton did a couple nights ago?!? I might of just ruined our relationship forever.

"Too?" Luke questions, his emotion changing for sorrowful to angry.
