'He's Just Slowly Drifting Away From Everyone'

A/N: FETUS 5SOS!!!! Plus, sorry for misspelled words :) and I also have to say that I warned you ;p

Ashton's P.O.V

Michael had been spending loads of his time with the girl he told the name of.. Stacey, I think it was, no, Steffany. But when I say loads I mean loads. He would be late to recordings, shows, interviews, and everything, this wasn't like him to do this and it was starting to get out of hand.

Calum, Luke and I were getting ready for our small performance that was in fifteen minutes and we were all already dressed and waiting on Michael to get here so he could get ready and we could go through our quick voice warm ups to only find that he showed up to the show ten minutes late but played it off as if he were ten minutes early and not late. But for the sake of our fans, the rest of us played it off to but I can tell you right now that I had me a few choice of words when the show was over.

We were finishing Gotta Get Out before saying goodbye to everyone and walking off the small stage

Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out. And if the skyscrapers, tumble down and crash around then baby we just gotta get out, we just gotta get out. We just gotta get ouuuuuuuut. We just gotta get ouuuuuuuut. We just gotta get ouuuuuuuut. We just gotta get out, we just gotta get out.

"Thank you for coming, that was Gotta Get Out, we hope you enjoyed the show and we love you all loads for supporting us and again, for coming" Luke chuckled as he talked to the audience "and I, well we, hope to see you all again soon. Oh and before I forget, we are having a livestream next week I think" he said and turned to me "yeah, next Tuesday at... two.. in the afternoon of course. We don't want anyone staying up or getting up at two in the morning just to watch us" I laughed which made the crowd laugh. "Well, see y'all soon, don't forget about our livestream. Goodbye" Calum blew a kiss then waved to the crowd "goodbye" Luke and I told them at the same time then walked off the stage. Luke and Calum put their guitars up and I headed towards the dressing room to get changed out of my sweaty clothes, Michael was already in there as none of us had noticed he left the stage as we were talking to our fans so it looked like I was only had a couple of minutes to "comfront" him. "What in the hell had gotten into your goddamn mind?!" I yelled as I grabbed the top of his shirt and pinned him against the wall "what the hell are you talking about?!" he yelled back "YOU! You're late to rehearesel, soundcheck, recordings, shows, interviews, EVERYTHING! I want to know why the hell this is happening because you've never done it and you sure as hell aren't going to start!" I yelled "get your filthy hands off of me" he demanded so I did "don't think that just because you're a couple of inches taller than me that you scare me because you don't" I stated "then don't think that just because you're a little bit older than me means that I'm scared of you" "you must not be scared and think about alot of stuff, don't you?" I asked as I turned around and walked a few feet away then turned half way on my heels and looked at him "did you even think once about the fact that Steffany was and is getting in the middle of you and Marcella?" I asked and he walked over to me as if he were on fire and grabbed the top of my shirt, turned us around, and slammed me onto the wall "don't you EVER bring Steffany into anything! She hasn't done anything but-" "use you for your fame and fortune? I know" I cut him off "shut the fuck up, you don't know anything about her. She's one of the most amazing people that I've ever met so you can't talk about her as if she was" he yelled "oh, I'm sorry, I just really thought that was what you used to think of Marcella" I smart mouthed him "don't say that name ever again you SON OF A BI-" before he could finish, Luke yanked him away as Calum asked if I was okay "yeah, just trying to teach someone a lesson" after that I heard a slap noise and me and Calum looked in the direction it came from and saw that Luke had just slapped Michael "snap out of it bro, you need to calm the fuck down, take a chill pill, do something. We can't start fighting, the band needs to stay together. If Marcella was here to see this you know she would say the same thing" Luke assured Mike and Mike gave him the same look he gave me when I had metioned her name "don't even start with me Clifford, stop trying to fight the truth. You've told us your feelings about her so you can't hide it anymore. You can even see it in your eyes when you think of her. You seriously need to stop acting like the dick you aren't and grow some balls and start acting like the guy you are because everyone is starting to not like it" when Luke finished his whole speech Michael nodded, he had seemed to cool down so I walked up to him "Ashton, I am so sorry" "it's alright mate, I''m sorry to" I said as I brought him into one of our bro hugs.

We all got changed into our normal clothes after the whole thing went down. "I'll see you guys later, Steffany wants to go to this really fancy resturant and I have to pick her up in half an hour" Michael stated as he backed out of the room "alright, see ya" Luke waved goodbye "what has gotten into him?" Calum asked "I don't know" Luke answered 'he's just slowly drifting away from everyone' I thought.
