Wake Up Call || 5SOS a.u.

They were so close, I got to the point where I just couldn't control my anger. This couldn't be happening, not again.

I don't know if it was the beers I had before the party or I was just really angry but all I know was that, before Susana could even finish greeting me, Calum was on the floor with a bleeding nose.

"Why the fuck did you do that?" She snapped at me.

"I won't let him get what's mine again."

"So now I am yours?! We met two days ago Michael. I will not stay here and listen to this." She left the room.

"Michael, you really fucked up again, we were just talking." Calum spoke.

"Do you want a bleeding lip to match your bleeding nose?" I smirked.

Some guy grabbed Calum and took him to the kitchen to put ice on the bruises.

I saw Luke and Noémi in the corner, I was going to talk to Luke when they left through the hallway and I followed behind.

That was when someone interrupted me.

"Oh, you're still here. Don't you think you've done enough?" The brat who calls herself Charlotte, asked. And I was in the point where I just couldn't take it anymore so I pinned her to the wall and grabbed her wrists next to her head.

"Listen here, Charlotte, I can do whatever the fuck I want because you can't control my life."

"Yeah, I know I can't, but when someone messes with my friends in my house I have to speak up to those pricks."

"What did you call me, princess?" I stepped even closer to her.

" What did you call me, prick?"

At this point the beers were really getting into my head, and I don't know what made me kiss her.

She kissed back before pushing me away.

"Are you out of your mind?" She yelled.

"I have to be, to kiss someone like you."

"Get out!" She pushed me.

"No. I'm waiting for Lu-" I tried to say.

"I don't care, get out!" She pushed me again.

(Charlotte)

What did Michael thought he was doing?! I will admit I kissed back at first, but it was only because I was too confused to even think properly. But what I saw when we were kissing made me think of what I was really doing - I saw Ashton and he was not happy. He left before I could even break the kiss. I have to go after him, he looked so discussed, so angry and disappointed, all at once.

"Ashton! Wait, Ash!" I called when he was leaving the house.

"Oh sorry, I thought you were too busy making out with Michael to even care about your best friend."

"Ashton, don't be like that. He kissed me."

"And you kissed back." He snapped. "I saw it, Charlotte."

"But did you see what I did next?! I pushed him away, I made him leave. I didn't want to kiss him. Hell, I hate him, Ashton."

"Fine, whatever you say."

"You are not going to be mad at me because of this, are you?"

"Well, sorry if I care too damn hard for you." He said while tears formed in the corner of his eyes.

"Ashton, please don't do this." I felt myself tearing up as well.

"Fuck, Charlotte, it started out just harmless fun, now you've got me thinking you're the one."

"You're drunk."

"As much as I hate to admit it, I was wrong, my whole theory was wrong and I should have known it would never work but now I fell for you, I did and the whole 'sex isn't just meaningless if you are doing it with someone you care about' thing you said, was absolutely right. I guess what I am trying to say is that you are the most perfect thing in my life and I am glad you showed up at the dance studio with that little bun on your head and the tutu that almost fell to your legs. You're my best friend and there's no one in the world I would rather fell for."

"Ashton, I-"

I didn't knew what to say, he caught me so off guard. We started 'messing around' about two weeks and a half ago and first, I will admit I wanted him to fall but then when I saw how much it could ruin our friendship I stopped provoking him, of course we would still have our little agreement but I tried to make it as friendly as possible. I didn't even care about 'being wrong'. But I guess it didn't work out.

"Save it, I know you don't like me like that."

"It's not that I don't like you like that, it's just that-"

"Bye, Charlotte." He kissed my forehead.

This whole night has just been nothing but a mess, first Michael and now Ashton. They both left now, but I wanted Ashton to stay. If things between us get weird I will fall apart. He is my family, my rock, my anchor. I really like him but I just don't know if I love him.

"Hi. Charlotte?"

I forgot about a certain dark haired boy who was laying on the couch with ice on his nose.

"Yes, Calum?"

"Do you mind if I crash here tonight? I am not feeling too well to drive."

"No, not at all. Let me just grab some blankets and pillows. And just ignore the mess around you."

"I will." He laughed."So, you and Michael...?"

"You saw that too?"

"I was with Ashton." Calum nodded.

"He just suddenly kissed me and I didn't know how to react and I may have messed up my thing with Irwin."

"From what I heard, he is still really into you."

"Hey! You can't be eavesdropping my conversations." He laughed. "But yeah, I know."

"And how do you feel about him?"

"I wish I knew the answer to that question, Calum."
