Don't Cry ➳ a.i

[twenty-four]

"Hi... I came to explain." He said, standing up. I looked around. Kayla was gone, probably out with friends or something.

"Oh. Well, it's fine, you don't have to, Michael and Calum and Luke already did." I said, opening the door to let him out.

"Oh, okay." He said. He now stood in the doorway, and before I could close the door, he said "Taylor, I don't want this awkwardness between us, and I-"

"Awkwardness? What do you mean?" I asked casually, cutting him off.

"Will you please let me finish?" he asked, and I nodded. "I don't want it to be awkward between us. I hated when we were friends and we had feelings for each other that we were unsure about. It sucked, and I was really upset that it felt that awkward. I don't want to be in that same state again. I want to be friends."

"Okay." I smiled reassuringly, letting him out.

I did want to be friends with Ashton. It was the closest thing I could get to him right now. Even though it sucked that we weren't together anymore, this was as good as it would get. I had to keep reminding myself that over and over, but I couldn't convince myself that being 'just friends' would work. I loved Ashton. I called up Calum, knowing that he would be able to help me take my mind off of things, and he came over. He brought a few movies and snacks and we watched 'Just Go With It' first, and ate some popcorn. Calum must have saw that I was upset because after a while, he finally asked what was wrong.

I sighed. "Cal, I'm still in love with Ashton. We talked today and he said we could be friends, but I don't want that. I want more. I want him."

"I'm sorry, Taylor. That sucks. But I'm sure he still loves you. I know he does, actually. He spent four months being upset over you leaving. You don't just get over someone like that." He said, putting his arm around me and pulling me in for a hug.

"Thanks, Cal." I whispered. I looked up at him... big brown eyes. Before I knew it, our lips were attached. I was pretty sure I started it, but I didn't know why. Calum didn't pull away, and neither did I. Thoughts kept running through my head.

What am I doing? Why isn't he pulling away? Does he like me? Do I like him?
