Ashton was lying in bed, in one of Michael's jumpers that he left over. He was crying into his pillow. It has been four days since the break up and Ashton couldn't take it being without Michael any longer. But of course Michael believes that he doesn't love him and just used him.

His mother walks into the room and tries to comfort him but it doesn't work "oh honey why don't you tell me what happened"

Ashton sniffed and nodded "it was in music...”

*In music class*

Ashton was back to the old him, wearing his batman t-shirt and blue jeans. He also had his glasses on too. He feels weird, he misses the leather and the bandanas, but of course that wasn't the old him.

Angel was delighted that Ashton was back, so was Ashley a little bit. But Bethan was pissed; she wanted to slap that smile off of Angel's god damn face. How could she do this Ashton? The other girls thought that when he smiled it was real, but Bethan new it was fake. He was hurt, broken that he wasn't with his love.

The four were in music class when Michael walked in. Ashton noticed that he wasn't eating properly and he had bags underneath his eyes. Michael met eyes with his and they just stared at each other.

"Um Ashton I asked you a question"

He turned his head to Angel "Sorry what did you say?"

"Niall or Harry?"

Ashton rolled his eyes with the question. Why is she obsessed over them "umm Niall"

"What I thought you were a Harry girl"

The conversation continued until the teacher came in. He drops some papers on the desk. "Um nothing to do today so just talk"

Michael hand rises "um sir can I sing a song"

The teacher nodded Michael stood up and grabbed his guitar and stood in front of the class.

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted

I thought about our last kiss, how it felt the way you tasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?

When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

Tears were forming in Ashton’s eyes; he knew this song was about him.

The pictures that you sent me they're still living in my phone

I'll admit I like to see them, I'll admit I feel alone

And all my friends keep asking why I'm not around

It hurts to know you're happy, yeah, it hurts that you've moved on

It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me

Like all of this was just some twisted dream

I'd hold you closer than I ever did before

And you'd never slip away

And you'd never hear me say

 Ashton looked down and let out a cry, hoping nobody could hear, of course the whole class heard, including Michael. He stopped playing and looked up at Ashton, but then he continued playing.

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

'Cause I'm not fine at all

No, I'm really not fine at all

Tell me this is just a dream

'Cause I'm really not fine…..

 He suddenly stopped and looked at Ashton, who was staring back at him with tears streaming down his face. Michael dropped his guitar and ran out of the classroom. The teacher stood up “That’s all today”.

 *Present time*

Ashton cried out into his pillow. His mother placed a hand on his back “Sweetie, everything’s going to be okay”

 “No it’s not mum” Ashton cries out “I need Mikey”

 She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. “Sweetie why don’t you go over Angel’s, she’s having a movie night and invited you over”

Ashton nodded and wipes his eyes and stands up and goes to get changed when his mother left the room.

 Aww poor Ashton, he just wants Michael.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
