Calum's POV:

Y/N comes inside the basement and sits on the couch. I try my best not to roll my eyes, I've been annoyed by her since the say the boys told me she liked me. I just want to be friends, I don't want to ruin our friendship, if you want to call it that. We've, well I've been ignoring her as much as possible because it's awkward. I continue to play wrong notes and Ashton stops playing, "You okay man?" He asks and twirls the drumsticks with his fingers. "Sorry I just got distracted." I mumble and look at my bass. "Is it because Y/N's here? You getting nervous?" Luke wiggles his eyebrows. I glare at him, the boys don't know I don't like Y/N in that way. I never got the chance to tell them since she's always with us, we're all very close. We met each other in year 4 and stuck with each other since then. "No, I just got confused at what song we were playing." I look over at Y/N and she's blushing, crap, I don't want her to get the wrong idea. "Sure..." Michael trails. "I don't like her okay! Geez just stop! I will never feel anything towards her, she's just my friend!" I snap and almost throw my bass on the floor. "Y/N, I didn't mean..." I begin to say when her eyes tear up. Why do I have to screw things up? "No. It's okay, I get it. You don't like me, I can't force you to." She stands and runs up the stairs. "What's wrong with you?" Ashton nearly yells and crosses his arms. "I wanted you guys to know that I didn't like her." I retort, facing the 3 of them. "You better go after her and apologize." Michael orders and they all nod their head. Well then, fine. "Whatever." I mumble, it's not my fault that that's how I ended saying the words. I didn't mean to hurt her, but I wanted to get out there that I'm not looking forward to be in a relationship right now, and if I were, I still wouldn't like her, Y/N's like a sister to me. I step out to the chilly night and see her sitting on the sidewalk on the other side. "Y/N..." I begin but suddenly not know what to say. "Don't! Don't come here and comfort me. I don't need it, just leave me alone." She let's out a sob in the end. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." I tell her and walk closer. "Sorry for what Calum? That you don't like me? I don't need an apology! It's your choice anyway so don't say sorry okay?" She stands and walks down the street. She becomes one with the darkness and I squint my eyes. I want to go after her but if I do, she'll just be annoyed with me, more than she is now. I sigh and walk back in the house, about to tell the boys I tried my best.

Luke's POV:

"Just go Luke!" Calum exclaims and pushes me towards Y/N. "You got this." I whisper to myself. I tap her on the shoulder multiple times before she turns around. Her friends leave and I felt bad for some reason. "Hey Luke." She smiles, her smile is so beautiful, it could make anyone happy. "Luke?" She asks again, I blush when I realize I've been looking at her lips for too long. "Sorry, umm. Can you, do you want to go on a date with me?" I stutter. Y/N furrows her eyebrows together and looks at me sympathetically. "Sorry Luke, but I have a boyfriend. He doesn't go here though." She says. "Really? You're using that as an excuse?" I almost yell, why can't she just tell me no? "I'm not lying to you Luke." She grabs my arm, "I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow yeah?" She asks and walks away. I look at the floor for a minute before walking back to Cal. I feel so embarrassed, being rejected is the worst feeling ever. "She said no. I'm not sure if she was lying when she said she had a boyfriend." I open my locker and put my books inside. Calum pats my shoulder, "It's okay man. It wasn't meant to be, you'll find that special person." I slam my locker, "Yeah, I guess." We both look up when a teacher yells at us, "No slamming lockers!" He yells. I flip him off and grab Cal's hand, we run out to the parking lot and get in my car. "Why'd you do that?" He snaps, "You could get us in trouble." I shrug, "Felt like it." I start the car and drive to Calum's house. "See you later." He says and throws his backpack over his shoulder. I stay in the car for a while before actually driving away. I can't just stay alone after being rejected. I need something to do, but homework is boring so I'll skip that option. I make a turn and drive back to Calum's house. I knock on the door, and his mom opens it. "Hey Luke, how are you?" She smiles warmly and let's me in. "I'm fine thanks. Is Calum here?" I ask. She points to his room and walks back in the living room. I open the door and slump my shoulders. "What the hell?" I ask and stare at Y/N on Calum's lap. "Luke, it's not what it looks like." He carefully pushes Y/N off and he walks towards me. I take a step and punch him in the jaw, "You knew I loved her!" I yell and run out. I hear Y/N asking Calum if he's okay and I hope he isn't. How could my own best friend do this to me? I start my car and drive away when Cal comes running out.

Michael's POV:

Today's the day. The day that me and my best friend are going to Disneyland. We've been saving up for this trip for maybe 2 years. Working in Target sucks, but this makes it all worth it. "Mikey! Hurry the freak up!" Y/N yells, she doesn't like swearing so it's kind of funny when she changes the swear words to something else. I roll my eyes and get my bag since we're staying in a hotel near by, for a week. "Done." I smile and immediately frown when I see Y/N's other best friend, he pisses me off so much. "Hey Mikey." He waves. "It's Michael." I mumble and shake his hand. "Well, I just came by to ask Y/N something." He says and takes Y/N's hands in front of him. What's going on? "Y/N, will you go on a date with me?" He smiles. My mouth opens and I can't seem to close it. I love Y/N, and today was supposed to be the day we were going to be alone, for a whole week. She smiles and tightly wraps her arms around him. My heart aches at the sight and I keep myself from pushing him of her. "Sorry John, but I just want to be friends." She pulls away and glances at me. I smirk when he frowns and makes a sigh. "Oh, okay. Well, call me if you change your mind yeah?" He asks the girl of my dreams. If he calls her I'm going to hunt him down and break his phone. Y/N nods and leads John out the door. "That was awkward." She chuckles, "Ready?" She asks. I smile widely and bring both of our bags in the trunk. I start the car and face her, "You don't like him?" I ask. Y/N looks into my eyes and replies, "Nah. I have my eyes set on someone else." She says. I quickly look away and drive out the garage. "You okay?" Y/N asks when I stay silent for 5 minutes, I'm not really the quiet type. I nod and turn the radio on. She turns it back off though and stares at me. "What?" I snap. "What's wrong with you?" She barks back as I roll my eyes. "Nothing." I reply and focus on driving. "Doesn't look like it." She murmurs and looks out the window. I'm ruining the day now, great. "I just... Who do you like?" I glance at her, seeing her lips curve into a smile when I mentioned him. My heart aches again and my hands tighten around the steering wheel. "He's really nice and annoying at times. His eyes are gorgeous, I could get lost in them forever. He's amazing to be around with and when I talk to him, he actually listens." She goes on about how cool this guy is, geez he's such a bastard. "Great." I say. "You don't get it do you?" She asks. "What Y/N? What don't I get? He's amazing and wonderful." I flip my nonexistent long hair. She rolls her eyes, "It's you, idiot." She says. I turn to her for a second and look back to the road, "What?" She nods her head, "Yeah. I like you. Would you like to go on a date with me?" She fights a smile and stays serious. "I would love to Y/N. You finally asked." I say, I love this about us, we can joke about things and still make it serious. She intertwines our fingers and kisses me on the cheek, making me grin.

Ashton's POV:

"Y/N! Stop!" I yell as I push my legs to run faster. Y/N ran out of the restaurant the second I told her I just wanted to stay friends. I want to be with her, but I'm not good enough. She's been my best friend since I said my first words. I will always want her but I can't be with her. I can't lose Y/N, she's too important to lose. She finally stops at a bench and lays her head in her hands. "Get away from me Ashton." She sobs, I ignore her and sit beside her. "Y/N, you don't understand." I say and pry her hands to look at me. Her eyes are red from crying and I nearly kiss her right then. "Leave me alone." She tries to snap but fails and ends up being another sob. I can't see her like this, broken, all because of me. "I like you, I actually love you." I confess. Y/N laughs for the first time tonight and narrows her eyes at me, "You feel bad don't you? Don't lie to me." She growls. "I'm not, I promise!" I plead and stare into her brown eyes. "Then why did you say you just wanted to be friends? I don't get it." She slumps her shoulders and glances around us. "I thought I wasn't good enough for you. You deserve someone better than me Y/N. I'll break your heart, I'll leave you alone and heart broken. I can't bare to do that to you. I love you too much." I let a tear escape, she brings her hand to wipe it. "No you won't. And never say you're not good enough for me, it should be the other way around. We can love each other without breaking each other, does that make sense? We can at least try." She pleads. "I'm scared that I'll hurt you." I say and kiss her hand. "No one's perfect babe." She replies. I shake my head and stand up, "We can't." I say as she exhales. I walk away and head back to the restaurant, where I parked my car. I hear footsteps behind me and I glance back, "No Ashton! I love you and we can be together if we tried. Trust me." Y/N stands a few feet away from me and lets the tears fall. "No." I stand my ground and walk away again. I can't believe I did that, I had the chance to be with her and I didn't take it. I really am an idiot, what's wrong with me?
