Complicated (5 Seconds of Summer)

The Meeting

Michael's POV

"Hey Mikey, how long has Cal been locked up in his room?" Asked Luke.

Calum had locked himself in his room after he tried to look for Amy. He looked around all their old spots which I don't think are the best places to look knowing that she was running from her memories. at least, that's what I think. She might've found a quiet hidden place so no one can find her but then that would be their old spots.

"About 2 hours. He needs to get out and clear his head in the fresh air. Sulking isn't going to get him anywhere." Luke nodded.

"I say one of us gets him out of there on the count of three. One... Two... Three... NOT IT!" Ashton yelled out.

"NOT IT!" Luke yelled right after leaving me to go to Calum. I'm not saying that I don't want to help my friend but Calum gets really scary when he's pissed since it's so different from when he's all cheery, especially when it's about Amy.

"Good luck and I'll plan your extended at the hospital." Ashton laughed. I'm going to slap him with a banana.

I walked up to Calum's door and knocked. "Calum, you alright in there? Look mate, I know you're upset but you shouldn't worry that much. Remember she's endured a lot so she's a strong girl. She'll be fine." I opened the door and dodged the pillow that I knew he was going to throw but I was not expecting him to tackle me right after.

I found myself on the floor trying to force Calum off of me. luckily Ashton and Luke came in to pull him off. "Mate you need to stay calm. We'll find her. She's smart, she won't just leave without leaving or saying something to assure us that she's safe." I said.

"I... I have to find her... I need her Mike... I'm in love with her!" he shouted.

For some reason my heart sank like it was in quicksand. I can't help but feel a little jealous because I love Amy too. She understood me and made me feel good about myself. I felt comfortable around her. Every moment I laid eyes on her my breath starts tremble and I get weak in the knees like a lovesick puppy. Knowing that she's out there alone makes me as pissed as Calum but at least I know her strengths. She'll can take care of herself but now that I'm seeing Calum state I'm beginning to get worried. He's my best mate and I hate to see him this hurt.

*Ring-Ring*

I checked the caller ID on my phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Mike? Are you alone?" a faint female voice answered.

"A..Amy?"

"Shut up! I can't talk for long so I'll get straight to the point. Meet me at the front entrance of the mall next to the fountain at 2:30 PM and DO NOT tell ANYONE, especially not Calum. No one must know that I'm still lurking around. Bye Michael." The line went dead.

Is she hiding from someone? Maybe she's in trouble. I better prepare for the worst.

"Mikey! Who was on the phone!?" Ashton shouted.

"Uhh a commercial caller."

"Oh okay!"

I wonder why she doesn't want anyone to know. Well it was already 1 PM so I should get ready. I'll just grab a snack when I get there.

...

I looked around the front entrance but I didn't see her. I sat on the edge of the big fountain in the front and waited. 10 minutes had already passed and there was still no sign of her. I was beginning to panic. Oh no... I hope nothing happened to her. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if she was. I waited a but longer before I finally decided to to stand and walk away. Suddenly I heard words coming from right in front of me while I was facing down.

"Excuse me sir, I don't mean to alarm you but... "Amy" will not be coming."

I looked up and saw Amy standing right in front of me. She wore an oversized hoodie with skinny jeans. Concealing her angel-like features. I wanted to scream and hug her so tightly now that I know she's safe but her face tells me not to.

"Why is she so secretive?" I asked.

"She will tell you at her flat just follow me."

...

When we arrived at her flat she quickly changed her act. She was back to being the crazy Amy that we all know and love.

"By the looks of this place you have been doing well on your own?" I asked.

"Yeah I got a job at a small cafe downtown. I made sure it was a place that you and the other boys don't usually go to."

"Why did you so all this? Calum has been going crazy just looking for you. he's been locked up sulking in his room. I tried to help him but that ended up with me on the floor."

I began to see pools of tears drop to the floor.

"I.. I... It's because.. I love all of you guys. I didn't want my stupid decisions to pull all of you down. You are everything to me." She cried.

"Then come home. We miss you." I walked towards her and pulled her in. A warm hug can cure almost anything.

"Does Charlotte know anything about this?" I asked her. She looked up at me and nodded then nudged her head back to my chest. "I promise that none of the boys will ever find out but I still have one more question to ask you?"

She nodded.

"When you dropped your necklace why was there blood on it?" I asked.

"After Calum left my house and after Charlotte and I out argument I took the necklace, held it in my hand, and I started to cut again." Tears still running down her face.

"Hey, don't cry. You don't have to feel shame. Most people cut, but you're smart so I know you'll find a better way soon. Just do what you think is right for you. Remember me and the boys will always love you no matter what choices you make. We will be right behind you one hundred percent."

I can't believe that we made her think that she had no other options other than go back to what happened back in the States.

She has given me a chance to prove her wrong and that it's worth it. She has people to love and care for her even for her mistakes. But my only concern is will I be able to keep this kind of secret from the guys... from Calum?
