A/N Hi! I'm sorry if this is later than usual but I have finals to study for ahhhh I hate school. Thank you so much for commenting and voting! My twitter is @teacuplarry so you can talk to me on there if you want, also. Enjoy the story!

Michael

Calum invited Luke over. Calum's a dickhead. We spent the day at the camp. I was writing shitty song lyrics the whole time, while Calum was looking over at Luke and then back to me every 5 seconds, smirking. Why in the hell did I admit to him my feelings for Luke again?
Well now I'm sitting in my room listening to music, trying to block out the sound of Luke in my living room talking to Calum. Well it's mostly Calum doing the talking. Calum just rambles on about meaningless things and Luke just laughs or comments something simple once Calum takes a break in between talking.
I can bet you that Calum only invited Luke over because he thinks he's helping me or something.
"Michael!" Calum yells up the stairs.
"What?" I yell back.
"Come down here!" Calum yells.
"Why?" I yell, sighing.
"Just come on!" He replies. Fuck you Calum. I get up and walk downstairs.
"What do you want?" I ask Calum, trying my best not to look in Luke's direction.
"I'm gonna go get pizza. Stay down here and keep Luke company while I'm gone." Calum says, smiling. I shake my head.
"If you're more than a half hour I'm kicking him out." I warn, making sure Luke doesn't hear.
"No you're not. Now make conversation or something. I'll be back soon." Calum says. I glare at him and he leaves the house. I look over to where Luke is, on the couch watching TV awkwardly. I sigh and walk over and sit on the couch as far as I can from Luke.
"Calum's getting pizza. He'll be back soon." I say, looking down at my hands.
"Alright." Luke says.

Luke

Okay I like Michael. I was trying to convince myself that the feelings would go away and I'd get over it but I haven't. I've liked him since the first time I saw him.
Michael's hair is a different color than it was a couple days ago. Now his hair is a dark brown color with a lot of red streaks. I guess he dyes his hair often. But somehow he still looks amazing to me every time I see him.

Michael

I'm bored. I sigh.
"Do you want to listen to music or something? This is boring." I say, surprising myself that I was able to speak more than a sentence to him.
"Yeah that'd be great." He replies, smiling. I love his stupid smile.
"Do you like all time low?" I ask.
"Yeah I love them." He replies. I put on one of my all time low CDs.
"I saw them in concert a couple months ago." He says.
"Really? So did I, where did you see-" I get cut off by Luke's phone ringing.
"Sorry hang on." He says, answering his phone. I nod.
"Hello?" "Yeah this is Luke." "What do you mean?" "Yeah I- I'm coming, bye"
Well by his face I don't think he got good news.
"Uh, I gotta go, sorry something came up. Tell Calum I said thank you for inviting me." He says, standing up, looking like he's about to cry.
"Yeah, okay. Is everything okay?" I ask, slightly concerned.
"Yeah, probably." He says and walks out. Well that was weird. I sigh and shut off the music. Where the hell is Calum with the pizza?

Luke

My best friend was in a car crash. Just when things start getting okay another thing happens to ruin everything. I got out of Michael's house as quickly as I could because I have to get to the hospital, and because I'd rather not have the guy I like see me cry just yet.
I got to my car and started it. Thank god it started this time. I drive to the hospital and get out of the car. Please let him be okay. I wipe away a few tears that managed to roll down my face and walk into the hospital. I walk to the front desk.
"Who are you here for?" The lady at the front desk asks, in an uninterested tone.
"Ashton Irwin." I say. She flips through a few papers.
"You can see him. He's in room 412." She says, pointing down one of the hallways.
"Thank you." I mumble and walk down the hallway looking for the room. I see room 412 and slowly open the door.
"Ashton?" I say, walking in and closing the door behind me.
"Luke! Hey." He says from the hospital bed. His eyes are tired and there's bandages on his arms but he still smiles when he sees me. He's the same Ashton.
"Ashton, What happened? Are you okay?" I ask. Going over to him and hugging him lightly, to not hurt him.
"I'm fine. A stupid drunk driver crashed into me while I was on my way to my house. I just have a cracked rib, a slight concussion and some scratches. It could've been much worse." Ashton says, hugging back.
"Thank god you're okay." I say, sniffling into his shirt as I hug him. Fuck I'm crying again.
"Don't cry. I'll be fine. It's okay, Luke." Ashton says, rubbing my back.
"Sorry. I'm just really happy you're okay." I say, my voice shaking slightly.
"I'm glad I'm okay too." He says, smiling. I hear the door open and we both turn our heads towards the door. It's a doctor.
"So Ashton, you can go home now if you would like. Just sign out at the front desk before you leave." The doctor says, and walks out of the room.
"Yesss, I can go home. This bed is fucking uncomfortable." Ashton says. I laugh.
"Hey do you wanna come back to my place? You can stay with me for a while." I say. Ashton has his own place like I do, but his house is too far a walking distance from my house so I always have to drive there or he drives to my place and it gets annoying.
"Yeah sure, that'd be fun. Let's go." Ashton says, getting up carefully. We both walk to the front desk and sign out of the hospital and walk to the car. I get in the drivers seat. I start driving towards my house. My phone buzzes and Ashton picks it up.
"Hey put my phone down." I say.
"No. It's fun reading your texts. Hey who's Michael? The text says "hey Luke, it's Michael. I got your number from Calum. I just wanted to make sure you're okay."" Ashton says, smirking. I find myself smiling as he reads the text out loud. Ashton raises his eyebrows. Shit I think he saw me smiling.
"Is Michael your boyfriend or something?" Ashton asks, amused.
"No, he's- he's no one just forget about it." I reply.
"Okay then. But he's not 'no one' if you're smiling like that when you get a text from him" Ashton says, laughing.
"Fuck you Ashton I'm trying to drive." I say. Ashton just laughs again.
