The Torture Tour

Chapter 10

I have been living in the small house owned by Frank for two weeks now. The house almost feels like home. Me and Ethan have gotten really close. A lot of the time we work in silence together. There is never a need to try and fill the silence we are comfortable with each other. He slowly got my story piece by piece out of me, and I got his. He is in love with a girl that only likes him as a friend, and who started dating his best friend breaking his heart. Neither one knew how he felt so he doesn't blame either one of them. They are due to get married in three months. He is supposed to be the best man, and I agreed to go to the wedding with him as his support.

What are we having for supper tonight Ethan asks as he is taking a break after two weeks of nonstop writing? He is scrolling through his social media. Wren you need to see this.

What has you so excited?

Did you know that Michael had brought you a promise ring, and that the kiss that was photographed was him being cornered by a crazy fan girl the day he got the ring?

I haven't been on my phone to know anything since I have been here Ethan you know that. Do you think it's true?

Why don't you listen to the interview and see what you think? Ethan presses play on the video.

We are here today with 5sos. Can you tell us your names and what you play in the band?

The boys all state their names and what they play.

I don't realize I am crying until Ethan hands me a tissue.

Okay Michael there has been rumors of a love interest, and even a picture. Do you have anything to say about the rumors?

I will say that the rumors are true and the picture was a fan girl who cornered me. She caused a lot of problems between me and my girl. I was buying her a promise ring the day the picture was taken. We haven't talked since then and I hope my girl is hearing this so she will know just how much I love her, and that I would never hurt her that way. I hope that she will call me soon.

Any chance you will give us a name?

No she is not ready to be in the spotlight, and we have a lot of talking to do. Soon I hope to bring her to our next awards show.

You heard it here folks Michael Clifford is officially taken.

I didn't want to listen to the rest of the interview. I stand up and head to the kitchen. I don't know what to believe anymore. Cody has not mentioned anything about this video when we talked.

This video was from two weeks ago. What are you going to do?

I don't know. Why didn't he tell me? He had plenty of time before the photo hit the papers to tell me some fan girl kissed him. Why would he hide something like that from me unless he was cheating on me?

I don't know I think that is questions that you need to be asking him. It is time for you to get some answers.

They have a week break coming up. Let me call Cody, and make some plans.

I think that you should call Michael directly.

What if he won't accept my call because I wouldn't even let him explain anything to me?

The only way you are going to find out is if you call him. Call him now. I am right here no matter what happens.

Taking a deep breath I call Michaels number. No one picks up and then I realize I have a new number. I send him a text letting Michael know that it is me trying to call him. My phone rings a few minutes later and I see that it is Michael. Hey Einstein I saw the interview. We need to talk. You have a week off coming up can we meet somewhere and talk?
