Ashton's P.O.V. 

I wasn't angry.  Really, I wasn't angry.  I wasn't angry.  My boyfriend was sitting there with the phone in his hand, and he was giggling like a little girl while texting during our movie night.  Okay, I was angry.  It had been quite a long time in the last two weeks, always with that heck of a phone texting someone.  Usually I never got angry, I found it stupid to get angry, but at that time I had every reason to be angry. "Calum, are you liking the movie?" I asked him, as kindly as possible. "You don't seem to be paying much attention."  Calum didn't listen to me at first, but eventually he put down the phone and looked at me. "What did you say, Ash?"  I simply shook my head, removing the film and turning off the TV. "I'm going to bed."  "Come on, Ash. Thursday nights are always our movie night. " Calum frowned, as if he had paid attention to the film all the time.  "Well now Thursday nights have become the evenings where you ignore your boyfriend and stay all the time with the phone in your hand!" I said angrily. "I don't know what the fuck you did or who the fuck you wrote all the time, but I don't like it." Calum's eyes shrug once I finished yelling at him. I've never done this before and I'm sure it was hard to believe.  "I'm going to sleep at Michael and Luke's tonight." I murmured as I headed for the bedroom, from which I took some clothing.   "Baby, please don't." He pleaded with Calum as he followed me. "This is not from you, Ashton. Don't do that. "   I decided to ignore him while I gathered my things and put them in the bag.  Kiwi pulled his head out of his seat on the bed as he looked at me curiously.  "Ashton, that--" but I cut him, "I'll take the dog too." I told him before taking Kiwi in my arms. I went out from the apartment and entered the elevator. The tears soon began to slip on my cheeks and Kiwi did his best to lick them away. "I think it's just you and me now."  I was tired of Calum's behavior in the last few weeks. He ignored me, with all the "job" excuse until late, and always with that damn phone in his hand.  I didn't want that to be the end of our relationship because it's ruined. I didn't want to think of a time when Calum wasn't going to be in my life.

Michael's P.O.V. 
We had just returned from one of the meetings, to which Luke confessed that he had relapsed last night and got drunk again.  I knew things wouldn't get fixed instantly, but I still didn't like the fact that he kept letting go every now and then.  Lauren and Lily were in bed because the next day they would have school, and Liz was in the kitchen preparing us for coffee.  "M-Michael I really am so sorry." Said Luke silently. He then moved to my side on the couch where I sat.  "Am I? Am I doing something wrong? " I asked him. "Am I not giving you enough help?"  Luke shook his head quickly and embraced me, pulling me towards him. "Of course not, Michael. It was my fault, you can't expect me to improve instantly. "  I nodded comprehensively. I knew we were on a path full of ups and downs, and I should have helped Luke with these.  Immediately after the bell rang and Luke stood up, both wondering who it might be. Soon after he returned to the hall, with a tears and Kiwis Ashton in his arms to him. "Calum is an asshole and I'm sad. Can I stay? " He whimpered, while the tears kept slipping on his face. Kiwi was asleep on Luke's lap while Ashton was sitting next to me while crying watching "The Princess and the Frog".  We only had DVDs for kids, for Lauren and Lily of course; And Ashton said he wanted to continue his movie night or whatever it was.  "Tiana is motivating you know," Ashton sniffed, "he was going to open his restaurant all by herself. This is the power of the girls. "  Luke looked at me and raised an eyebrow, I shrugged my shoulders.  Ashton turned to Luke, casting a dirty look at him. "No, it looks like Calum! that damned traitor. "My eyes were wide open. It's rare for Ashton to say things like that, which made me realize that he was really sad and heartbroken.   "Well think well, it's a frog. A filthy, slime frog? " I did my best to cheer him up, but he just came back to watch the movie. I sighand looked towards Luke. "You must speak to Calum." I was not sure that I would have endured a long time staying there to hear Ashton cry on Disney movies while he hated Calum.
