Love me the way I love you

Calum

Luke and Gia were still out, and Ashton wants to go day drinking. I got ready for the day in a simple black skinny jeans, a black shirt shirt, and boots.

Ashton knocked on the door with a smirk "You guys hooked up again last night."

I rolled my eyes and let him in the room, I sat on the bed slips on my boots "Whatever. So where are we going?"

"You guys did! Oh my god!" He laughed. "Where should I sit that's clean?"

I stood up walking into the bathroom, "Sit on the other bed." I could hear Ashton laughing. I quickly brushed my teeth and grabbed my wallet "Let's go."

We decided on walking to the pub and ended up at some random dinner bar. "So, are you guys dating or what?" Ashton asked me after ordering his drink.

"Quit asking" I told him.

"It's an honest question. Last night had a lot of flirting couple stuff" he added. Calum rolled his eyes "If you guys aren't, you should stop hooking up with Gia" he blurted. I furrowed my eyebrows "What, I'm just saying. It's bound someone is gonna want more and it's obvious who it is."

The lady gave us our drink and walked off. "What's that suppose to mean?"

Ashton sighed "Seems like you guys don't know what to do."

"Shut up" I defended.

"You guys would be dating already, but you aren't. It's not a complicated situation and you both know it, this isn't just some friends with benefits thing" he explained to me.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.

"It is complicated, there's no strings attached. It's friends with benefits like you said" I lied. I'm sure Ashton could see it all over my face that I flat out lied to him.

Ashton shook his head "Your telling me, spending every night and day with Gia, hooking up with her, going on little dates, holding her, cuddling, innocent kisses, and being around that gorgeous girl means absolutely nothing to you?"

I sighed "It's exactly that. It's just flirting..." I took a sip of my drink and swirled my drink staring at the middle.

"You're lying."

"Fine, I am" I told him annoyed. "I'm still in love with my best friend. I know I shouldn't feel this way and just stay away, but I can't. You think I'll willing put myself in this situation... No one compares to her, she's the one."

Ashton's eyes widened staring directly behind me, I turned around and Gia and Luke stood there.

I groaned and put my heads in my hands "Of course, of course this would be happening!" I complained.

Luke sat on the other side of Ashton and Gia sat next to me facing me. "Cal..." she said softly.

"I don't want to talk about it, it's whatever" I got up and left a 20 on the table before leaving. I groaned and started walking back to the hotel "Of course..."

I'm so stupid.

"Calum! Wait!" Gia yelled. She ran in front of me to get me to stop "Just, just talk to me" she huffed out of breath.

I looked away from her "It doesn't matter" I walked off and she stopped me again. "Just leave me alone."

Gia stood their staring at me "Cal... Just let me explain." I let out a long breath and looked at her, "Can we talk about this in the room?"

"Just leave me alone, Giovanna!" I mumbled and turned away walking to the hotel. I stuck my hands into my pocket looking down.

Being honest, I thought Gia would still bug me following down to the hotel.

I walked pass the fans with a soft smile heading into the hotel lobby. My phone rang and it was was Gia, I declined her call and stuck my phone in my pocket. During my walk back to the hotel I canceled our dinner reservation that I had planned out 5 months ago.

It took a while before I even got in the room, but one I did I laid on my back staring at the ceiling.

"Of course she doesn't love me the way I love her..." I clenched my jaw and tears fell down the side of my face.

Gia

After Calum walked off, I headed back into the bar place where Luke and Ashton where. I sat beside Ashton and the two stared at me "He doesn't want to talk to me."

I ordered a drink and looked at them as they had soft smiles. "Well did you tell him?" Luke said.

"Tell him what?"

I sighed "I never got a chance to tell him how I feel... he walked off before I got a chance to..."

"Wait what?" Ashton said lost in Luke and I's conversation.

Luke chuckled "Gia and I were talking about her complicated relationship, she said she doesn't know how to tell Calum she's like in love with him still."

Ashton's jaw dropped "Really?! Why don't you go tell him?"

"Calum doesn't even want to talk to me" I told him annoyed. "It doesn't even matter anymore at this point" I mumbled. I thanked the bartender with a simple nod and worked my drink before taking a sip.

Luke's phone rang and he showed us his phone, Kim was calling. "Hey, you're on speaker" he said.

"Don't get to drunk tonight, you have a morning interview, a tv appearance, then we're heading to the venue" she reminded us.

"Yeah, bye" I mumbled and hung up.

Ashton looked at me a bit confused "What are you gonna do about Calum?"

I shrugged "He won't talk to me, there's nothing I could do now."
