#50 Playing The Blame Game

#50 Playing The Blame Game - You Me At Six (Lyrics)

Ashton:
"You're not on my list of things to do, cause' I've already done you."

He cheated. Plain and simple like night and day, Ashton cheated on you. After 7 months of dating, he easily gave it up for one stupid night. After weeks of crying, you decided to give him another chance, but soon realized that he hadn't changed. You would try to fight for him because you loved him and didn't have it in you just to give up on what you guys had. Once you came to the realization that he obviously didn't care, you walked away, promising yourself that you would never go back.

~*~ 5 Months Later

"Are you kidding me? You looked amazing last night," your friend, Nicole, said scrolling through her phone as the two of you sat on your couch. Last night, you went out with a group of your friends to the local club and before you left, you decided to snap a few pictures of yourself to post on your Instagram, showing off your outfit.

"It was little black dress! No big deal," you protested, laughing as you grabbed your phone.

"Apparently some people think it's a big deal," you mumbled, eyes wide as you read the text that you just received.

"What are you talking about?" Nicole questioned.

"Ashton just texted me," you whispered.

"Hey I know we haven't talked in a while, but I miss you and think we should catch up. Call me sometime," you read the text aloud, laughing hysterically along with Nicole.

"He just saw your pictures from last night and he realizes what a dumb ass he is and now he wants you back," she said in between her laugher. Nicole was right, Ashton did want you back, but that wasn't going to happen. You already knew what kind of guy he was and you knew you deserved better.

Calum:
"You hold me down, by keeping me around."

"So are you really going away?" Calum asked you over dinner.

"I-I want to..." you said quietly, keeping your focus on your plate.

"Why? Why do you want to go all the way to New York? Do yo-" you cut Calum off mid sentence to defend yourself.

"Because Cal!" you yelled, looking up at him.

"I want to go, what more do I have to say?" you felt like this was becoming ridiculous, it was a perfect opportunity. Getting accepted into one of the top colleges in New York was your dream and it recently came true, but Calum was not so excited.

"Why Y/N? I don't understand why!" Calum fumed.

"Do you not want to be with me? Is that was it is?" he questioned.

"No Calum," you sighed getting up from your seat.

"Look," you got on your knees and grabbed his hands.

"I love you, I really do. I just need to go, for me," you explained, "I can't stay here and let this opportunity pass me by. I'll miss you, so much baby. But I need to go." You leaned up and kissed his lips softly. Calum nodded his head.

"I'll miss you too Y/N," he said under his breath, wrapping his arms around your body, pulling you in for a hug.

Luke:
"You're young and in love. That should be enough."

"What do you mean you want to move in together?" your mother hissed, staring at you and Luke on the couch.

"Well, we've been talking and we really think it's time," you said happily, squeezing Luke's hand.

"I love Y/N, a lot, and yeah, it's time!" Luke said smiling at you and then your mother. While you and Luke were overly excited, your mother was not.

"You're young and in love! That should be more than enough, why do you need to move in together right now?" she asked, shaking her head. You shrugged your shoulders, with nothing to say. You thought that you wanted to move in with Luke, but after talking with your mother it seemed like everything had changed.

Michael:
"Desperate minds mean desperate measures."

"I miss you babe," you sighed, looking at your boyfriend on the laptop screen.

"I miss you too Y/N, so much. I'll be home in a few months," Michael groaned, rubbing his fingers through his hair. The two of you continued to talk throughout the night about whatever came to mind. It's been 2 months since you last saw each other and you've been trying to stay strong, but the distance has been getting to you more and more. The next morning, you decided to something you never thought you'd do... You bought a plane ticket to go see Michael.

After packing your bags and telling Michael that you couldn't really talk today because you were 'busy', you were on your way to the airport. Once you arrived, you called a cab and were headed to his hotel. The front desk gladly gave you his room number and within seconds you were on the elevator, pressing the button for the tenth floor.

When you knocked on his door, your heart was racing and when he opened the door, you jumped into his arms.

"What are you doing here Y/N?!" Michael said, tightly wrapping his arms around your waist.

"I missed you baby!" you cheered, leaving kisses all over his face.
