Chapter Fifteen;

Abbey’s P.O.V

I sat in my room for about an hour thinking about what to do. I thought about going over to their house and talking to him, I thought about lashing out at Ashton, I thought about asking Luke to talk Michael into talking to me; but there wasn’t anything that was standing out to me. Before I could stop myself I had my phone in my hand.

“Hello?” my brother answered

“Hey!”

“Oh it’s Abbey! How are you?”

“I don’t know, I just need help,”

“What’s happened?”

“Well basically, long story short, when we moved into our house we went to meet the neighbours and they are in this band and they are all like 16/17/19 and one night I got drunk and the 19 year old; his name is Ashton by the way, started kissing me and stuff and I couldn’t stop myself because obviously I was drunk, and then the next day I woke up really pissed off that I let myself do that so I went and spoke to Michael; who is 17 and him and I have a really good friendship going on and then we kind of kissed and he stayed the night but then he had to visit his family and Ashton asked me if I wanted to go to a party thing with him and I said yes because I really wanted to be friends with him and he tried to kiss me and I pushed him away and told him to take me home and then today I was waiting all day for Michael to come back so I could cuddle him and Ashton told him that I was all over him and now Michael is all pissed and I just want to sort everything out,”

“I’m not even going to fully bring the fact up that your 15 and you are making out with guys that are like 3 and 4 years older than you, but you need to talk to Michael. Try and avoid Ashton but if you can’t avoid him keep it civilised and try not to get angry at him okay?”

“So I should just go next door and talk to Michael and avoid Ashton?”

“Try and get Michael to come to your place so you’re not around the rest of the band,”

“Thank you so much, I miss you,”

“I miss you too; now go speak to Michael before it gets too late,”

He hung up before I could say ‘okay’ or ‘bye’. I held my phone in my hands and tried to call Michael, there was no answer so I went to the bathroom and tried to fix up my makeup.

“Where are you going?” Ariella asked, looking up at me from hugging Luke

“I’m going to talk to Michael,”

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

“Yeah, my brother helped me think about it,”

“Okay, well good luck,” she said while I grabbed Ashton’s necklace and walked out of the house and over to Michael’s.

I knocked on the door and Calum answered it for me. I allowed myself in saying a subtle hi. I walked straight over to Michael’s room; completely ignoring the fact that Ashton was in the lounge. I knocked on the door and when there was no answer I turned on my heel and looked at Ashton

“How could you?” I said

“How could he what?” Calum said

“Calum stay out of this. Ashton seriously how could you?”

When there was no reply I threw his necklace over to him and knocked on Michael’s door again. I heard a faint ‘go away’ but I opened the door anyways. He was sitting on his bed playing ‘Pokémon’ with his Nintendo. I closed the door behind me.
