If home is where the heart is then we're all just fucked.

"babbbbeeeee" I heard Michael come in through the door, I quickly wiped my eyes hoping it wasn't noticeable that I had been crying, "I have the best news-Hey what's wrong?"

I remained quiet as Michael sat down next to me wrapping his arms around me, I sunk into the hug and put my face in his chest, he made me feel so small, He ran his fingers through my hair and I started sobbing, I couldn't tell him what was wrong, I couldn't, he'd think I'm pathetic.

"Baby? What's wrong?" He asked but I just sobbed more, I could feel him hugging me tighter, "It hurts seeing you like this, I love you so much and I hate seeing you upset"

"My cousin found out I'm gay" I managed to choke out and Michael kissed my temple, "He's always been against it... He's tried calling me a bunch of times but I'm too scared to answer them"

"Luke, Oh Luke, I think you need to call him, ill be right next to you OK? I'll hold your hand, I'll hold you, I'll be right by your side" he told me and my phone buzzed, I picked it up with a shaky hand and read the texts from my cousin.

Cousin: Hey luke, I've been trying to call you. I just wanted to let you know that I don't hate you and even though I've always been against homosexuality I will try and support you through this, love you bro.

"See, it's OK. Everything is OK baby"

"Is everything OK?" Michael asked as he entered the studio, "Are all the instruments working, and has Luke finished his song?"

"Yep, we all got a version of it and yours is sitting by your guitar now all we need to do is figure out some chords for it" Calum replied and looked at my lyrics, I felt incredibly anxious as Michael picked up my printed piece of paper and started reading it.

I watched his facial expression go from neutral to hurt as he put down the piece of paper and grabbed his bag, my heart sunk. I knew he was going to leave, make up some excuse about why he has to go.

"Crystal and I's fake date got rescheduled to now, so bye I guess. Figure out the chords without me" Michael told us before storming out of the room giving the door a slam. Oh great now he's pissed, what's he going to do? Give me the silent treatment, not like he's actually talked to me much anyways.

"Luke, I did warn you-" Ashton started but Calum cut him off.

"Ash! He doesn't need a fucking lecture he knows that he's messed up, he doesn't need this shit right now. Michael's mad at him already he doesn't need you to be as well" Calum argued.

"I think I might go. You two have fun with the chords" Ashton grumbled before storming out of the room.

"We both might as well go too, we can't do this by ourselves" he told me and packed up his bag, as he started walking out the door he looked at me, "You coming?"

"You go off without me, I need a moment" I gave him a fake smile and he walked out the door. I sunk to the floor as soon as he left, I never used to cry, I was always so tough and I could handle everything but now? I'm a baby. I cry all the bloody time and I was sick of it.

I felt a few tears but I quickly wiped them away as I picked up my phone, I clicked on instagram and thought of a message I could send to Michael, I needed to sort this out, I love him. I then saw the post, the two year anniversary post. They were kissing, I felt my stomach drop and I was nauseous, they've never kissed before other then a peck on the lips.

michaelclifford: It's been two years since we've started dating and these two years have been the best ones of my life. When I first met you we immediately clicked, we had so much in common and I quickly started liking you, after that it was easy, you gave me a reason to get out of my house, a reason to wake up. Falling in love with you has been the best thing that's ever happened to me, I love you Crystal, forever x

"Don't cry Luke" I tell myself, "You've cried enough for now"

"So did you guys figure the chords out?" Ashton asked as we sat down at the table together, we never usually have dinner together but Calum insisted tonight.

"Nope, we can't do it all on our own" Calum replied and the table was suddenly quiet, there was so much tension in the air and I could tell it was making everybody extremely uncomfortable, "Michael, how was your date?"

"It was good I guess but it was overly hot and I sweat too much so yeah" He told us awkwardly.

"Luke! You've been going to the gym with Ashton how's that going?" Calum asked me trying to get rid of some of the tension, I put a piece of broccoli in my mouth to try and waste some time. I didn't want to be here and longer then I had to.

"I went once and it's not like I'll go again, too much exercise in my opinion" I replied.

"Kinda the point of a gym, to exercise" Michael laughed, this was it, I could laugh along and we could make things right. So why can't I say anything back? Why am I so afraid of talking to Michael? I looked up at him, our eyes locked and I felt myself squirming in my seat.

"I think we need a vacation, all this work on our album, the PR pressure, we need a fucking break" Ashton butted into our moment and I peeled my eyes off of Michael's, a vacation!? Are you kidding me? Quality time with my best friends and kinda boyfriend was not what I needed right now.

"Hey that's a good idea! What about Hawaii? Ooh that sounds so nice, I'll call Adam in the morni- You two have been awfully quiet, do you guys have any objections?" Calum asked us raising an eyebrow.

"I mean... This is very sudden" I muttered, we can't just say we want to go on a holiday, pack up and leave, but then again we're five seconds of fucking summer and we do that anyways.

"We need some bonding time! Just us four boys, we've been really distant with each other anyways. We need this" Ashton pouted.

"Fine, I'm in. Sounds good" Michael grinned. A/N: feels good

This chapter was shorter than I intended it to be sorry, I need to be inspired to write and nothing really inspires me so I guess I'll be going on a walk tomorrow to write y'all an amazing chapter :D
