Chapter 9

Michael P.O.V.

breath.

I stare at the ceiling in my room replaying the scene of what had happened two days ago. I can't help but smile at the thought, but cringe at the fact I'm smiling at the image of Ashtons lips on mine. It had felt overwhelming; different, confusing, something I wouldn't mind doing again. 'No stop thinking like this' "Right, I hate him and what he is." I murmur to myself.

I climb out of bed trudging to the bathroom. Taking a look at the faded pink hair on my head, I ran to my bed grabbing my phone from under my pillow. "Hey Cal, it's time for a hair dye" "Didn't you just dye it a few months ago" He yawned. "Yeah but now it makes me look like some kind of fairy, So call up Lou and I'll be over after my shower. Okay" I huffed. "Fine, See ya in a bit" "See ya Cal."

Ashton P.O.V.

"Okay, are you ready to "confess" this so called horrible deed you've done?" Niall laughed.

It was anything from funny to me, I kissed Michael. The same guy that beat me up almost everyday of my life. The same guy that was first priority on Niall's People to Kill list. Niall. He's going to shit bricks once I tell him I kissed someone else, especially Michael.

"You promise you won't be mad or do anything stupid?" I ask standing up pacing the area in front of the bed.

"I promise but what are you on about babe?" He asked concern filling his tone.

"I kissedmichael anditwaastupidbut hewasupsetandlookedsopretty andivelikedhimforages didntmeantohurtyou imsorryniall pleasedontbemadatmei love you yourmybestfriend." I quickly rambled.

"I really only caught a bit of that, but I'm not mad at you Ash. Just upset with myself." He sighed standing up.

"But I kissed h-"

"I know" He laughed

"It's not funny Ni'"

"I know but don't worry, I'm not upset. I knew that we weren't gonna be anything too serious. Especially since you like Michael" He informed me as he rummaged through his dresser.

"I don't like Michael" I huffed.

"Yeah you do, and he likes you he's just to much of a dickheead to admit it."

"Now your just being crazy, there is no way Michael Clifford likes me"

"Oh Ash my naieve little drummer boy, read between the lines it's all there." He hummed pulling me from his bed.

"Are you alright?, I think you're a little wonky" He twirled me around humming some unidentified tune.

"Wonky no, right yes. Now I need you and your boy problems to wiggle out of my house until tomorrow okay." He lead me down the steps and out the front door.

"Woah, what's the rush?" I laughed.

"Nothing, just need some "me time" s'all." He smiled, too forced if you ask me.

"Are you sure your alright?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Im Peachy, ace, top-notch, no problems with this boy" He smiled. forced.

"Okay, if you say so..."

"Hey Niall!" A dark haired boy honked as he pulled into Niall driveway.

"Shit!, bye Ash. Gotta go!" Niall rushed for the frontdoor.

"What happened to peachy?" I laughed as he quickly looked himself inside his house.

"Hey are you Niall's friend?" The dark haired boy asked.

"Depends who's asking?"

"Oh sorry, I'm Zayn a friend of Niall. And we have science together I usually set in the back though" he informed.

"Friend, huh? Why'd he run then?" He asked. This Zayn guy seemed nice, but with a bone structure and eyes like that he was commiting serious crimes I'm sure of it.

"You tell me?" He chuckled.

Michael P.O.V.

"So Michael, Luke tells me you've got a crush?" Lou asked as she finished applying the last bit of hair dye.

"Luke is an arsehole and I do not have a crush" I huffed throwing a comb at Luke, I missed hitting Calum in the head.

"Oi! Watch it" He yelled.

"Don't be a dick, and don't lie to Lou. She's a lady" Luke stretched handing the comb back to Lou.

"Watch this" Luke whispered to Lou.

"Whatever Michael, anyway Ashton is coming over later to hang. Maybe practice for the gig" He smirked.

"He's not even my friend so why do I care what he does." He replied.

"Cool, He's bringing Niall too. Aww Lou you should see them, they're so cute together. Right Michael?" Luke nonchalantly asked flipping through channels.

"Why do I care that Ashton's dating some Irish idiot, not my friend anyway." He mumbled.

"Whatever you say Mikey, whatever you say" Luke sing-songed.

"Fuck off Luke"
