Michael’s P.O.V.
“Calum told us”
*flashback*
“Where were you yesterday?” Luke asked “We tried calling you about five times” Calum shrugged “I was with Amber” “You still could’ve picked up your phone” I said and Calum shot me a glare. “Woah, woah, okay. Have you been, like, making out or what?” I asked, chuckling. “No” he said, starting to get pissed. “Awww, come on, what were you guys up to?” “She just wasn’t feeling well” Calum said. “So she was with you the whole night?” Luke asked, wiggling his eyebrows. “Yes, Hemmings, dammit she was” “What was wrong with her?” I asked and Calum shook his head “nothing” “But you told us she wasn’t okay, what was wrong?” Luke asked. “Guys, just leave it” Ashton spoke up. “What happened? Come on it can’t be that bad” I said and chuckled. Calum shot me another glare and shook his head “Shut up Clifford. You have no fucking idea” he said. “Aww, someone has a bad night?” Luke asked, now laughing loudly. “No” Calum said annoyed, “shut the fuck up Hemmings” “Don’t tell me to shut up, I didn’t do anything wrong okay?” Luke stated calmly. “Yes you did” “I just asked what was wrong with her, what’s wrong with that. Not my fault you’re too dumb to make a move” “I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP” Calum yelled, it was slowly getting out of hand. “WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU; STOP YELLING AT ME” Luke shouted. Calum stood up and looked down on a sitting Luke “You just have no fucking idea what’s wrong and I’m sure as hell not telling you” he hissed. Luke pushed him backwards, but Calum took a step forward again, slapping Luke across the face. “GUYS STOP IT SERIOUSLY” Ashton yelled and I just watched, unable to do anything. It’s never a good thing when bitchy Luke and annoyed Calum collide. “WHY THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU JUST SLAP ME” Luke yelled, trying to kick Calum’s balls. The started shouting at each other and I just sat there, staring at my best friends fighting, waiting for them to calm down, like they normally do. But they didn’t. “WHY CAN’T YOU JUST TELL US WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH HER?!” Luke shouted “Luke, stop” Ashton said, trying to pull the blonde boy away from Calum, but he swatted Ashton’s hand away. “BECAUSE I FUCKING PROMISED HER!” Calum yelled. “STOP YELLING AT ME” Luke yelled back, “JUST GODDAMN TELL US ALREADY” “NO” “YES” “NO” “YES” “YOU’RE ACTING LIKE GODDAMN TODDLERS” I yelled. “WELL IT’S NOT MY DAMN FAULT HE ISN’T TELLING ME” Luke shouted “I JUST CAN’T TELL YOU; DEAL WITH IT” Calum shouted. “YOU’RE SUCH A PRICK” “IT’S NOT MY FAULT HER SISTER KILLED HERSELF” It went dead silent. Calum’s face got white, along with Luke’s, and I just couldn’t believe it. “I hope you’re happy now” Calum spat and ran out of the room. “I told you to leave it, dammit” Ashton cursed and went after Calum. Luke kind of collapsed on the floor, tears streaming down his face “I’m such a fucking horrible person” he whispered “this is all my fault” he said and suddenly lifted his head and stared at me “HE FUCKING TOLD HER HE WOULDN’T TELL ANYBODY!” he cried “I’M SUCH A FUCKING PRICK; OF COURSE SHE WOULNN’T TELL ME WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER ARM! FUCK!” Luke cried. I felt tears welling up in my eyes. “HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM?!” he yelled at me. “I-I” I stuttered as a tear left my eye. Luke stumbled out of the room. I stood up to follow him, but by the time I reached the door, I only saw his tall figure at the end of the street. It was pouring. Restless, I started to walk through the rain, until I somehow ended up at Amber’s house. Without thinking, I rang the doorbell.
*flashback ends*
“I’m so sorry” I croak out again, while she stares into nothing. “A-Amber?” A tear slips down her face but she smiles at me. “M-Michael I seriously thought that you’d all leave… once you know” I held out my arms and she threw herself into my embrace. “Why would we do that?” I asked quietly. “I don’t know” she whispered “everyone did” There it is again, this something that makes you feel protective over her. Maybe it’s the fact that she’s so tall and skinny, she sometimes looks like a foal, clumsy and fragile. Maybe it’s the way how she was always crying when we first met her, and maybe it’s just because we got really close friends.
After a while of just sitting there, the doorbell rang again and she stood up to answer it. “Mikey, get towels, they’re in the bathroom” she laughed and I walked into the hallway to see her hugging a crying Luke, with Ashton and Calum behind her, both looking guilty. “God, I’m so sorry” Luke said and she smiled. “Actually, I’m pretty glad you know now… I mean, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you by myself” she said. “Okay, come on” she said and led us all into the living room, then made me get some towels while she made hot chocolate. (Which tasted a lot better than Australian hot Chocolate by the way) While we were all just sitting there, Luke spoke up. “What was your sister’s name?” he asked. I thought she’d be uncomfortable with the question, but she smiled “Victoria.. or, Vicky, most of the time” she said. We talked a while about depression and stuff, and she told us literally everything. About how she met Ashton at therapy, about how Calum found out, about her breakdowns. Everything. “I guess I saw it coming, somehow” she said and smiled “I’m just glad you’re all still here” “THIS SCREAMS GROUP HUG!” Ashton yelled and laughed, and soon enough, we were all cuddled up in a group hug.
A/N:
EVERYTHING IS AWESOOOME. More or less but I felt like not making much of a drama about this. I think the fighting part is kind of shitty because it's unrealistic but hell I didn't know any other way to write it like Calum didn't mean to tell the sooo.. bitchy Luke?
STEAL MY GIRL ASDFGLWBG I'm dying, the quiet sobs you hear are mine.
I have soooo many ideas for the next chapters and I'm so glad writer's block isn't being a bitch in this story anymore :)
Also, holiday or vacation or whatever you call it is soon, so I may or may not be updating more. Depends on whether my mum says I'm on the internet too much or not. Which she probably will.
PRAY FOR ME AND MY WIFI
