Ashton's P.o.V
Luke pulled me away from Calum and dragged me back to my bedroom. "I told you not to lead him on!" he scolded. "I'm not!" "Then why'd you grab him?" "To get him away from you and Michael having dry sex!" "We weren't having dry sex," he muttered, his face turning red. I smirk a little at making him uncomfortable. Then it turned into a little guilt.
"Look, you're telling me you didn't see his eyes light up when you touched him?" I shook my head. "Wait, you're saying. He-He... likes me?" I ask. "Oh God. I knew it. He fell. He fucking fell," Luke sounded angry. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Luke you okay?" I ask. "No I'm not okay. Calum fell for you. And you can't even give him a chance because you're fucking straight. Oh God. Ashton, how could you possibly let him fall?"
"Luke I never gave him the chance! I swear! I've only known him for a couple days. I don't know how he could've possibly fallen. I promise you I didn't mean for him to," I defend. "I know Ashton. But you can't break his heart. You just.. You have to get him to not like you," Luke says. "Luke, that sounds a lot easier than it probably is. I'll figure out a way, I don't want to hurt him either."
"Why would you hurt me?" a voice says behind us. I turn and widen my eyes at the sight of Calum. "Calum, um, I-I don't want to hurt you," I stammer. "Luke, what's he talking about?" Calum asks. "Cal, answer this honestly. Do you like Ashton?" Luke asked. Calum and I gulped insync. "I don't know," he whispered.
I released a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Honestly. I said answer honestly," Luke said. "Luke," Calum said in a warning tone. "Just answer the fucking question," Luke hissed, looking like he immediately regretted it. "Fine alright! I like Ashton! Jesus Luke, you're such an asshole!" Calum ran out. I started after him, but Luke pulled me back. I released my arm from his grip and ran after Calum.
Calum's P.o.V
I don't even know why I ran. I was just mad at Luke. And Ashton. They were thinking of finding a nice way to break my heart. News flash dicks, it's impossible. "Calum stop!" I turn to see the blonde, tall, boy running my way. "Fuck off Irwin," I spat. "Calum, just listen to me. Okay?" he says. He had caught up to me now, because I had stopped walking. "What do you want?" I muttered, crossing my arms and looking at our shoes. Less than a foot apart.
I must've looked like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Him being taller than me sure didn't help. "Calum, I'm sorry. I should've told you what we were talking about," he apologized. "It doesn't matter Ashton," I mumble, walking off. He follows me."Calum please. Don't be mad," Ashton says softly. I turn to face him. "To be honest, I don't like you. How could I ever like such a bastard?" I say, turning on my heel and walking off.
Should I feel bad?
Ashton's P.o.V
"To be honest, I don't like you. How could I ever like such a bastard?" Calum spat, walking off. I stood still. I feel his name making its way up my throat. "Calum," I say. But instead of calling him, it sounded more like a whisper. I sigh and walk back to the unit. I slam the door behind me and Luke runs to me.
"Where's Calum?" he asks. "I don't know. He walked off," I say sadly. "Why?" "Because of you! Geez Luke, you're so oblivious. Calum was happy hiding his feelings and you made him spill. He called me a bastard, and I'm sure he wants to kick me out of the band now. Thanks a lot Hemmings," I spat, pushing him off to the side and walking down the hall.
I storm into my room and collapse on my bed. How could I ever like such a bastard? I can't say I've felt like this. I'm a heartbreaker, not a love sick loser. I mean, in those couple days I knew him, it was like love at first sight. And now, he probably hates me. I put my pillow on my face, and my door opens. I sit up and hug the pillow. "Hey Ash, you alright?" Michael asked.
"Hey Mikey. Where's your boyfriend?" I ask harshly. Michael sits next to me. "I told him to go home and check on Calum. I heard what happened. You okay?" he said. I shrug. "Never better," I say sarcastically. "Ashton. This can't possibly be the first time you had your heart broken, is it?" I shrug again. "No, but it still hurts. I mean, he just snapped. And its all Luke's fault," I say. "So, you chose to not tell him how you felt," he pointed out.
"You're telling me, that telling him how I feel, could save us?" I ask. "Not necessarily save you, but it could maybe give you both a reason to try. But not tonight, its getting pretty damn late," Michael chuckled. "Fine. I'll talk to him tomorrow. And Mike, if your boyfriend does anything that screws up my possibilities with Calum, he'll fucking die," I say. Michael smiles a bit. "Not my Lukey!" Michael faked a scared face. I smile a bit. "Night dork."
