Abbey's P.O.V
There was officially 5 days before the boys went on tour.
Ariella and I each had easy access tickets for the Sydney shows and the New Zealand shows.
The week was spent with Ariella and I helping the boys get ready, and when I say helping the boys I mean Ariella helping Luke and Calum and I helping Michael and Ashton.
It was Wednesday and the first show was on Friday, everything was basically ready, excluding toiletries and technology.
It was 3.30pm and Ashton picked Ariella and I up from school. He drove us to starbucks and shouted us a beverage before he drove us to our house. Ariella got out of the car and ran in the house to get changed.
"Abbey?" Ashton asked
"Yeah?"
"I need to talk to you, and it's kind of urgent so do you want to speak right now or in an hour or two? It's kind of private,"
"Well what's better for you?"
"How about I come over to your place at 6?"
"Yeah okay, see you then," I said before getting out of the car and joining Ariella in the house.
I quickly got changed at sat at the dining table.
"I hate assignments; I just want to see Luke!" She said opening up her book
"I hate them too, isn't it weird how we have to do the same assessment but for the different languages? Like the questions are all the same,"
"Oh really? I never noticed,"
We concentrated on our assessments occasionally whispering words under our breaths.
We finished our assessments around about 5 minutes after each other, obviously her finishing first.
It was 5.30pm now and Luke had shown up. They played a two player game. Michael showed up not long after and I told him that Ashton was coming over to tell me something, Michael said okay and started acting weird, anxious even?
Luke and Ariella left and went over to his house for the night. Ashton showed up on time and I invited him in. Michael gave him a warning look as he sat on the couch ahead of us.
"I'm going to say this quickly, and I'm going to apologise in advance, so sorry," Ashton started
"Ashton I swear to god," Michael started but I shushed him and told Ashton to continue.
"About two months ago, I took you to that party, do you remember? Yeah anyways, I told Michael you were all over me because I was trying to save you from the truth. The truth is, is that Michael didn't go to his family’s house, he actually went to his ex-girlfriend’s house, but it was originally to personally tell her to piss off, she was telling the tabloids all of this bad publicity. But that's beside the point, other than telling her to stop, they hooked up, like slept together,"
I looked at Ashton and I could literally feel my life stop.
"He's lying," Michael said through a cracked voice
"I'm not lying, and I'm pretty sure even you know that," Ashton said looking at me sympathetically.
I hadn't spoken. I sat in silence and looked at the both of them, swapping every few seconds.
"I-" I started
"I uh, need to hear this from you," I said looking at Michael, knowing he was beat he looked at me
"He's not lying, I slept with her, and I have regretted it ever since,"
"Why didn't you just tell me!?" I said yelling
"Because I knew I would lose you,"
"I can't believe this. You called ME a slut; you got pissed at ME for pushing myself onto Ashton when I hadn't! I don't even know what to say,"
"I'm sorry!" Michael said
"Ashton, not to be rude but I'm going to go to my room, if you leave just close the door behind you, and Michael? If you didn't already guess, whatever we had is over," I said standing up and walking into the room locking the divider.
I let myself cry, cry as much as I could. I logged onto my twitter and tweeted.
Tweet: *goodbye my almost lover*
I saw the replies
Tweet from fan: *did you and Michael break up?*
Reply from me: *sadly, yes*
I could hear shouting coming from the lounge.
"I can't fucking believe you Ashton, why the fuck would you tell her!"
"I told you!"
"I never thought you could be so fucking devious Ashton; I just lost her,"
"You never deserved her! You can't cheat on a girl and get away with it,"
"I was finally happy Ash!"
"It was a lie!"
"It wasn't a lie Ashton! I just didn't tell her,"
"I think you should go,"
"Why should I go and not you! She's my girlfriend!"
"I’m pretty sure she said that you were over,"
"Ashton, I know she said that, but I can't fucking believe this, and just before tour,"
"It had to be said,"
A few minutes past and I heard a knock at the divider
"It's Ashton, let me in?"
I got up and opened the divider
"I got Michael to leave, are you okay?"
"No,"
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"What is there to talk about, you just told me my boyfriend cheated on me, but you had made it so much worse because you told him I was all over you, when I wasn't. But in fact he was all over her!"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't not tell you,"
"You didn't tell me for so long, I don't know if I would have preferred you to keep it from me or not,"
"I couldn't watch you guys be together and know that he had betrayed you!"
"I don't think you understand! I love him Ashton, I really do,"
"It was based on lies,"
"Look Ashton, thank you for telling me, thank you so much, but do you think you could just go? Maybe I'll text you tomorrow or something,"
"I'm sorry, I'll tell Michael to leave you alone,"
"Ashton would you stop getting involved? Please just make sure you and him are still going to be friends okay? I'd hate to see this effect the band,"
"Michael and I will be fine, I'll go,"
"Bye Ashton,"
I walked him to the door and locked it behind him.
I returned to my room and locked the divider.
I turned off the light and sat in my bed, staring blankly.
