You're Exes But The Other Boys Try To Get You Back Together P2

LUKE: STANDING OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE YOU WATCHED LUKE PACE IN FRONT OF YOU, RUNNING HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS HAIR CONSTANTLY, MAKING IT EVEN MORE OF A MESS THEN IT WAS BEFORE. "YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITHOUT ME." YOU START OFF AND THAT STOPS HIS PACING AND HE GIVES YOU A SIDEWAYS GLANCE. "APPARENTLY THE SAME CAN GO FOR YOU ABOUT ME." YOU SAT DOWN ON YOUR FRONT PORCH AND YOU COULD SWEAR THE OTHERS WERE LOOKING AT YOURS AND LUKE'S CONVERSATION FROM THE FRONT WINDOW. "THEY'RE WATCHING, OF COURSE THEY'RE WATCHING." HE NEARLY GROWLED AND YOU SIGHED BEFORE STANDING BACK UP AND REACHING FOR HIS ELBOW AND PULLING HIM OUT OF SIGHT FROM THE WINDOW, SO YOU COULD ACTUALLY TALK TO HIM IN PRIVATE. "THEY WANT US BACK TOGETHER." YOU STATE AND LUKE PUTS HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" "TO BE HAPPY." "AND YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITHOUT ME." "PRETTY MUCH." "IT'S ALL MY FAULT THAT THIS EVEN HAD TO BE A CONVERSATION WE HAD TO HAVE AND I'M SORRY, I SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID IT. I KNOW YOU'RE USED TO ASHTON BEING GONE, I JUST, I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO MISS TWO PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME, I THOUGHT MAYBE IF YOU ONLY HAD ASHTON TO MISS, IT'D BE BETTER, BUT I THINK I MADE IT WORSE." YOU NOD. "YEAH, YOU KIND OF DID." "ANY WAY YOU CAN FORGIVE ME?" "DATE ME." HE SMIRKED. "I THINK I CAN HANDLE THAT."

CALUM: THE PHONE RANG A FEW TIMES BEFORE HE FINALLY ANSWERED IT WITH A GRUFF HELLO AND YOU COULDN'T HELP YOURSELF BUT YOU LAUGHED AND YOU COULD JUST TELL HE STIFFENED UP. "(YN)?" "YEAH, HI." "WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?" "MICHAEL BRIBED ME WITH A NICE DINNER AND DIDN'T TELL ME I SHOULD CALL YOU UNTIL AFTER THE DINNER WAS NEARLY OVER. DO YOU KNOW WHY HE TOLD ME I SHOULD CALL YOU?" "UHHH." THAT WAS HIS TYPICAL GO TO RESPONSE WHEN HE WAS LOST AND CONFUSED LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY. "I REALLY DON'T KNOW, (YN), BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HATE ME FOR SAYING THIS BUT I AM ACTUALLY SO RELIEVED TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, I MISSED IT." "DID YOU NOW?" YOU ASK AS MICHAEL DROVE YOU OVER TO CALUM'S PLACE. "YEAH, I WAS AN IDIOT." A START TO ANOTHER APOLOGY FROM CALUM HOOD, YOU LAUGHED TO YOURSELF. "KEEP GOING, CALUM, SO FAR YOU'RE OFF TO A GREAT START." "I SHOULDN'T HAVE BROKEN UP WITH YOU, THINKING THE HATE AND RUMORS WOULD STOP, THEY DIDN'T, I THINK THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN WORSE." "THEY DID." YOU SAY IN A MANNER FOR HIM TO CONTINUE, WHICH HE DID. "AND I'M VERY SORRY, I'VE BEEN SO OUT OF IT SINCE THE BREAK UP, I'M NOT THE SAME I WAS, AND I NOT ONLY MISS HOW I WAS THEN, BUT I MISS YOU AND HOW WE WERE, TOGETHER, FORGIVE ME?" MICHAEL HAD DROPPED YOU OFF JUST A MINUTE BEFORE AND YOU SMILED INTO THE PHONE. "MIND UNLOCKING THE DOOR FOR ME TO COME IN AND I'LL THINK ABOUT FORGIVING YOU?"

ASHTON: WITH WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS A FRIENDLY PUSH, MICHAEL AND CALUM HAD LITERALLY PUSHED YOU FROM THE PARTY IN THE DIRECTION OF ASHTON'S CAR WHICH YOU RECOGNIZED IMMEDIATELY. SIGHING YOU WALKED OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE BEFORE KNOCKING ON THE WINDOW. HE LOOKED OVER AND HIS JAW DROPPED, YOU GAVE HIM A LITTLE WAVE BEFORE HE UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND YOU GOT IN. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" HE ASKS AND YOU LAUGH. "MY PARTY. THE BOYS LIED TO YOU, LUKE'S BROTHER'S AREN'T HERE." HE GROANED AND FELL AGAINST THE SEAT, COVERING HIS FACE WITH HIS HANDS. "I SHOULD'VE KNOWN." LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW YOU NOD. "YOU SHOULD'VE." "WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO DO? THEY'RE TRYING TO GET US BACK TOGETHER AREN'T THEY?" "HAVE YOU NOTICED WE'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT NICE TO EACH OTHER SINCE I GOT INTO THIS CAR? NO SNARKY COMMENTS, NO HATEFUL ANYTHING. WE'RE THE SAME AS WE WERE, ASH, THE EXACT SAME." "THEN WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BETWEEN US. WHY'D WE BREAK UP?" "MAYBE BECAUSE WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE PACE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP BUT EVERYONE WAS PUSHING IT TO A NEW LEVEL WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR AND IT GOT TOO MUCH FOR US AND WE COULDN'T DO IT." HE LAUGHED. "SOUNDS LIKE HOW IT HAPPENED. DO YOU THINK WE COULD GIVE IT ANOTHER GO? I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE ELSE SINCE THE BREAK UP." "NEITHER HAVE I." "SO, ME AND YOU?" HE ASKED DRAGGING IT OUT, YOU SMIRKED. "SURE, MAYBE THE SECOND TIME WILL BE THE CHARM FOR US." "MAYBE." HE LAUGHED. "THINK THEY'LL BE MAD IF I LEAVE THEM HERE?" "THEY PUT THEMSELVES INTO THIS MESS, LET'S LET THEM SORT OUT HOW THEY'RE GETTING HOME."

MICHAEL: YOU WERE NEARLY AT YOUR CAR WHEN YOU WERE PULLED BACK INTO A SET OF ARMS WHICH WRAPPED AROUND YOU PROTECTIVELY. "I MISSED YOU." "YEAH REALLY SEEMS LIKE IT, MICHAEL." YOU SAY RELEASING YOURSELF FROM HIS HOLD AND HE SHAKES HIS HEAD. "I WAS DRUNK WHEN I SAID THOSE THINGS TO YOU, THERE HASN'T BEEN A DAY THAT'S GONE BY THAT I HAVEN'T REGRETTED IT." "THEN WHY DID YOU ASK WHY WAS I THERE THE WAY YOU DID? YOU MADE IT SEEM LIKE I WAS STILL RUINING YOUR LIFE JUST BY STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU." HE WAS ABOUT TO LOSE IT AND HAD TO TAKE A FEW DEEP BREATHS BEFORE HE REGAINED HIS COMPOSURE. "I ACT LIKE AN IDIOT WHEN I LOSE SOMETHING I NEVER WANTED TO LOSE, SOMETHING I WANTED TO KEEP. BUT WHEN I MESSED UP, GOT DRUNK THAT NIGHT AND SAID, WHAT I SAID, I REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT JUST AN IDIOT, I WAS AN ASSHOLE WHO DIDN'T DESERVE YOU. I MADE A MISTAKE, AND IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, I WON'T EVER DRINK AGAIN AND RISK GETTING DRUNK. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU AGAIN." "WHO SAYS YOU'LL GET AN AGAIN, MICHAEL? I'M STILL NOT HAPPY WITH YOU." "FINE." HE GRUNTED AND BROUGHT YOU BACK INTO HIS ARMS BEFORE KISSING YOU AND SURPRISINGLY YOU KISSED HIM BACK WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT, APPARENTLY YOU'D MISSED HIM TOO. "IF YOU DIDN'T MISS ME, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KISSED ME BACK LIKE THAT, (YN)." YOU NOD. "YEAH, YOU MAY BE AN ASS, BUT YOU'RE THE ASS I LOVE, GOD WHY DO I LOVE YOU?" HE LAUGHED. "BECAUSE I'M CUTE." "YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE THE REASON." YOU JOIN IN ON THE LAUGHTER.
