Is it Hi or Hey?

Chapter 9

*Hazel's P.O.V*

It's been a month since the court date. Mark was sent to juvi, and Ashton refuised to leave me in that house alone. He moved in permanently a week after the break in. Michael is jealous to say the least. Calum and Luke are as casual as I've seen them the past few weeks.

*later that morning*

"Haze?" Ashton called from downstairs.

"Yea?" I called back.

"Do you want breakfast? The boys are on their way over."

"No," was all I mumbled.

He climbed the stairs quicky and flopped ontop of me.

"What's the matter darling?" he asked

"Nothing Ash," I said rolling over so he was lying next to me.

"You sure? You're not nervous to see a special someone with orange hair?" he giggled hinting that Michael would finally be home from a long trip to see his mom for two weeks.

"Maybe," i said running my finger tips over his palms.

"You guys should just go out already. You've kissed, you take his clothes, you have cute names for each other, just do it!" he laughed holding my hand.

"Are you sure you would be okay with that?" I asked.

"You make him happy Haze, and you don't even try."

Before I could say another word the boys were shouting and running up the stairs. They stopped dead in the doorway looking at me and Ashton.

"Something you want to tell me Ashley?" Calum asked looking hurt.

"We were just talking Cal, I still love you." he smirked as Calum smiled and hugged him.

Michael walked through my doorway and boy had he changed in two weeks. He had stubble on his chin and his air was a bit lighter than the last time I saw him. He looked perfect. I didn't realise how much I missed him. I got out of bed and jumped into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"I missed you everyday I was gone," he whispered

"Me too,"

He kissed my cheek and held me around him. The boys just looked at us like we puked up fur balls.

"What?" we both asked.

"You guys sure missed each other..." Calum smirked

"Shut up," Michael huffed walking me into the hall and letting me get back on my feet. I looked him in the eyes and slowly leaned forward. Our lips were about to touch when Calum ran into luke causing him to knock the table in the hall. Michael and I pulled apart and walked downstairs to play some video games. Michael put in a game and pressed play. He passed me a controller and we sat on the couch together. Calum and luke ran for the last controllers as Ashton tripped down the stairs. We all started a round of Team death match. Michael and I were doing great, Luke and Calum? Not so much.

Ashton sat down next to me cuddling into my side as he always did. We had become quite close living together for over a month. The boys laughed as Calum got demolished by me. Everyone was having a good laugh until the door bell rang.

"Okaii Ash take over, I'll be back" I smiled as I handed over my controller fully knowing that I wouldn't be getting it back any time soon.

I ran to the door and opened it to see Vanessa. She smiled brightly hugging me and taking off her shoes. She hardly ever cared to even ask if she could come over anymore. She just did, which was fine by me. Just knock before you come in or send a text of some sort. My house was open to many, I don't like to see my friends in bad places and Ashton kept me reminded that I can't let people over stay their welcome. Sure enough she sat down on the floor next to Calum and pulled out her iPod. She loved reading and Calum didn't mind one bit. He played games with the boys while she read her heart out. He would listen to her little rants about her stories and Fanfictions, he thought they were cute. He really liked her and I could tell that my best friends would be happy together.

Soon after the match ended, Taylor walked in the door and slouched down by me and Ashton. My friends like to let themselves in I see. Tasha and her boyfriend soon followed, as did Salem texting her boyfriend that lived far away. She found him online and they complete eachother very well. I was happy for her in so many ways.

Moving on, tonight we are having a party. Not a huge party but more like a goodluck party because you're getting your teeth ripped out party. Yes, I am getting my wisdom teeth taken out and I'm not excited. I hate surgery, I hate being in the hospital and I hate being put to sleep. Michael was going to drive me to the dentist.

"What are you thinking about my love?" Tasha asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh nothing, just the idea of being left in a room with dentists while im practically dead." I smirked

"You'll be fine, you always worry about things that are completely normal." she laughed

We just smiled and walked to the backyard where the gang was gathered.
