Ashton's P.o.V
I woke up with a goal. I had to tell Calum how I felt. It was the only way I could save any future us. I quickly showered and got dressed. "Ashton, Luke just called me," Michael said. "Cool, what'd he say?" I say, fixing my hair. "Calum got back with his ex," he states. I freeze. "You're kidding, right?" I say. He shakes his head.
"You okay?" I just nod. "Yeah. It's not like I loved him or anything," I scoff, knocking my brush off the counter. "Ash, you can't change Calum's feelings. You know that. I'm sorry, but maybe he wasn't over Josh," he says. I stayed quiet, bottling my anger. "I'll be back," I mumble, but Michael blocks me. "Where are you going?" he asked. "Out." "Where?" "Just out. Michael, you're not my mum. Let me leave if I want to leave," I snap, walking out the door.
Michael constantly called and texted me, but I didn't bother to pick up or respond. I texted Luke for Calum's number, and after much debate, he gave it to me. I dialed it. "Hello?" "Hey Calum." He stayed quiet. Maybe he didn't know who I was. "Its me.. Ashton." He still stayed quiet. "What do you want?" he snapped. "Look, I just need to tell you something. Meet me outside your unit?" I say with hope.
"Please?" I add. "Fine. I'll meet you in five minutes." He ended the call and I drove over to the building. I waited outside, until finally he showed up. His face looked clearly pissed off. "What do you need to tell me?" he asked harshly. "Calum, I need you to know I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday," I say. "Is that all?" he asks.
"No. Calum, I-I know you took back your ex-boyfriend, but I have t-to tell you something. I don't know if its gonna change a-anything, but I have to get it off my chest," I stammer. He stayed quiet, but nodded his head slightly. "Okay. Um, C-Calum, I, uh... You see, I, uh, I-I... I l-like you."
I let the thought sink in. I told him. He looked down and crossed his arms. "Its a good thing you know I took back Josh. I don't have to break it to you, bastard," He scoffed. "Calum. I'm not trying to tear you away from him, I just needed to tell you," I say. "Why? Why did you need to tell me that you like me? Because I said I liked you? I'm over you Ashton. You couldn't spew it out when you had a chance of stopping me? Ashton, I need time and space away from you and Luke. You two don't get anything I go through. So goodbye, bandmate."
He walked back inside and I was back where I was yesterday. Feeling crushed. Feeling bad. I snuck inside and Calum was on the phone. He didn't see me. "Tonight? Joshy, I don't know." He started to smile. "Okay. okay. I'll be ready at eight." He smiled wider, and it looked adorable. "I love you too Josh. Okay, bye." I felt even worse. I ran to my car and drive off.
I drove home and just sat there, listening to the radio. I sat there for almost two hours. And I still would be sitting there, if my fucking car battery didn't die. I slam the door and take my time going up the step to my unit. I stop at my door and groan in frustration at the fact I had forgotten my key. I lean against the door and sit. I play games on my phone and roam on Twitter.
I was so mad at Calum. No, not Calum. I was so mad at Luke. He ruined any chances I had with Calum. If Luke hadn't intervened they way he did, maybe I could be Calum's boyfriend. Instead of that Josh person. "Stupid Luke," I mutter. I bang on the door, but Michael doesn't open. He's probably in the shower. Or thinks I'm some serial killer, like the paranoid idiot he is.
After about half an hour, Michael finally opens the door. "Ashton, where were you?" he asks. "Waiting for you," I say angrily. "Sorry, I was in the shower. But, where did you go?" he says. "I told you. Out," I say, walking to my room. "You talked to Calum, didn't you," he says. I didn't say anything. "Ashton, what did you do?"
I ignore him and lock my door. "Ashton, c'mon dude! We can talk about this," he says. "I don't want to talk to anybody!" I snap. He shuts up, but I'm not sure if he left. I sigh and turn on the telly. I was just so mad. I needed Calum to know, that I needed him.
Calum's P.o.V
I couldn't believe the nerve of Ashton. I went back to my room and fiddled with my phone. a couple hours later, Luke knocked on my door. "Cal, uh, Ashton's here to talk to you," he says. "Tell him to fuck off," I spat. "Calum. C'mon, dude. Just talk to the poor kid," Luke said. "No." I hear slight shuffling. "Hey Calum, look. I'm not trying to get you to ditch Josh. I just, I felt bad about yesterday, so I thought if I told you how I felt, you could forgive me for being such a douche yesterday. I'm sorry," Ashton said.
Then, it fell silent. I don't know if I was ready to forgive him. "A-Ashton?" I stutter. No response. Then, another knock. "Calum, Ashton left." I sigh. "Okay." I was getting frustrated with myself. I wasn't over Ashton, I don't think its possible to get over that boy. This was all Luke's fault. It all went back to him. If he hadn't talked to Ashton about 'breaking my heart', this wouldn't have happened.
I sigh and go back to playing on my phone. I find Ashton's contact and delete it. Afterwards, I regret it, but chances are he doesn't want to talk to me after we're forced to, band wise, so, it wasn't a big deal. I put my chin on my knees and sigh again. But after a while, I tried to think about my date with Josh, rather than my heartbreak with Ashton.
