Gavin POV

Geoff soon dropped everyone off back at the office and then we headed home. I'm still skeptical about calling Austin home but I found myself doing it anyway.

He pulled into the driveway and lead the car to a stop. I got out and grabbed my things and a few extra items that Geoff brought along.

He talked but I didn't listen. I still smiled and laughed even though he probably wasn't telling a joke at all.

As soon as we entered the house Geoff went to greet Griffon and I was greeted by Millie who wanted to play a game.

"Let him walk in the door at least." Geoff said eyeing Millie and I.

"Nah it's fine Geoff."

I waved him off and he shrugged,"Let me get settled in first Millie." I said and headed toward my room.

I'm not quite sure what exactly has happened today. Ever since Geoff said I was talking about Michael, I haven't felt the same as before."

I just didn't know what I was feeling but the thought of Geoff being right made me feel uneasy.

I plopped my bag down on the floor and kicked off my shoes at the same time.

Geoff couldn't possibly be correct. And for all I know we probably weren't even holding hands. I was probably just grabbing something in the tent.

And then I thought about Geoff grabbing Ryan's hand and asking if he was doing it right.

Michael is just all I am able to think about. The gears in my head dropped everything surrounding me except for Michael.

He is by far all I see and when we are together it's like the world blurs out everything but him.

The world blurs out everything including Lindsey.

Before doing anything I quickly scrambled for my phone and decided to text Michael to apologize.

You may think why are you apologizing?

To be truthful I don't know but the thought of knowing he was okay made me a bit happier.

I settled on calling him so that I could hear his voice and tapped on his number.

I sighed as I sat with my finger hovering the call button.

I probably looked like an idiot from a distance and after a few hesitant minutes I put the phone up to my ear.

What if he actually was mad. What if he was actually mad at me?

I'm sorry if I sleep good at night?

I waited...

One ring..

Two rings...

Three rings...

He didn't pick up but I got his voice mail.

"Hey it's Michael. I'm not here right now I'm probably out with my Boi. Leave a message."

I sighed before speaking.

"Hey Michael. It's me Gavin. I just wanted to apologize about what happened this morning. I don't know why I'm apologizing-" I started pacing back and forth.

"But I'm just sorry. You looked angry and if I could take back the events I would. I'm sorry Micoo."

And then I hung up. Taking the phone away from my ear I ended the call and found myself staring off into space.

I sighed once more.

Why was I so upset? Why was he so upset?

More importantly I have to see him tomorrow and Lindsey is going to be back.
