Chapter 5: Memories are paper view

Kara's POV

(The Next Day)

That night I was sitting in the living room by myself because Ashton drove the guys home. I was watching TV and writing song lyrics in my notebook. I just can't get the thought of Michael and Adin out of my head. I'm with Adin but I think I'm falling for Michael. I shouldn't but I am, but how would it work? He's in a fucking famous band. I was then snapped out of my thoughts by my phone ringing. I took it out of my pocket seeing Adin face timing me. I sighed and answered it. I saw his face and for sure he was drunk.

"Hi Adin." I fake a smile.

"Don't hi Adin me!" He slurred. "I bet you're fucking cheating on me! That's why you ignored me yesterday!" He yells. The front door of the house opened and Ashton, Luke, Calum, and Michael walked in.

"That's not why, I just forgot!" I reply. Tears brimmed my eyes. I hate it when he's drunk, he's a completely different person drunk. "Please don't jump to conclusions Adin. You know I wouldn't do anything like that!" I felt a tear go down my face.

"Well you're with your brother and his friends! And they're fucking stars so you might as well give it to anyone!" He replies. Which almost sounded like he was sober.

"Adin s-stop you're drunk you don't know what you're talking about." I started breathing rapidly because I was crying. I saw the guys had surprised looks on their faces.

"Is that Adin you're talking too!?" Ashton asks, he came over and took my phone out of my hands. "Hi Adin this is Ashton. Kara's brother, I hope you know that you don't deserve Kara. But as much as I've been told, you've done nothing but hurt her!" Ashton yells which kinda scared me. Then Michael grabbed my phone out of Ashton's hands.

"Plus she has been through enough with her father! You're just making it worse, do you ever wonder how she feels!?" Michael yells. "You do look like a fuckboy who just uses girls for sex!" Michael's face was red with anger.

"I bet you're the one who fucked my girl! Actually I bet you 3 fucked her!" Adin replies.

"You're so fucking lucky we're on the phone." Ashton says lowly. I buried my face in my knees and was trying to calm down my panic attack.

"Just leave her alone you hurt her enough already and I don't wanna sit here doing nothing about it because she's amazing!" Michael says which caused my cheeks to heat up. "But you can't seem to see it, you don't deserve her!" Michael yelled and the room went silent, I kept my face buried in my knees. I felt the couch dip as someone sat beside me. "Are you okay Kara?" I hear Michael's voice. I nod silently, keeping my face in my knees.

"That guy's a douche bag." Calum says. I felt someone hug me. I didn't even know who it was but I hugged them back because I needed it. I opened my eyes and everything was blurred because my eyes we're filled with tears but I could tell I was hugging Michael because of his red flannel. I took deep breaths and closed my eyes. We released from the hug and I looked down.

"Kara, why haven't you broke up with him yet?" Ashton asks. I open my eyes and look at Ashton who was kneeling on the floor in front of me.

"Because he..." I sigh as I was thinking. "He's so cute when he's sober. But I... I'm also kinda scared of him." I reply honestly. I felt Michael tense beside me and I saw the rest of them looked serious. "Like I said it's not that big of deal, so don't waste your energy on me." I say as I grabbed my phone off the table where Michael put it. I stood up and went up to my bedroom. I shut the door, I sigh as I sat on my bed. I started watching Dan & Phil on YouTube to help me calm down. I didn't even wanna see my 'boyfriend' anymore.

After about maybe an hour of watching Dan & Phil, and me laughing my butt off. Someone knocked on my door, I sigh and pause the video I was watching. I got up off my bed and opened my door seeing Michael standing there.

"Hey Kara," He smiles at me. "Dinner is ready downstairs." He tells me.

"I'm not really hungry right now." I admit as I looked down avoiding eye contact.

"Are you okay? Do you need a buddy to talk to?" His voice was gentle and held worry. I shook my head.

"I'm okay, I'll be fine. I always deal with things by myself and it's not that big of a deal." I reply as I look up at him.

"Come on don't be like that. I'll carry you downstairs if you don't come downstairs." He tells me which caused me to laugh.

"I'm good Mike, I'll eat later." I tell him.
Unexpectedly Michael swung me over his shoulder. "Ashton! Mike is trying to kidnap me!" I call out and Michael walked downstairs with me swung over his shoulder. I heard the guys laughing and I just roll my eyes. "Can I not be depressed in peace?" I ask. Michael walked into the living room and swung me off his shoulder and onto the couch.

"At least come watch a movie with us." Luke whines. I roll my eyes and smile.

"You guys are so annoying. Why can't you just leave me to cry in peace?" I reply as I put my hands over my face.

"Because we're actually here for you." Calum replies. I sigh and removed my hands from my face. He's not wrong. These are the only people in the world right now that are actually here for me and actually care.

"Pwease watch the movie with us?" Michael asks and sticks out his bottom lip. I roll my eyes and sigh.

"Fine, if you're really going to bother me that much." I reply. "Where's Ashton at?" I ask as I looked around the room noticing he wasn't around.

"He drumming in the basement. He's taking all of his anger out because of Adin." Calum tells me. "I'm pretty sure he's fine, he'll come out of the basement eventually and probably go right to bed." I sigh and nod. We started watching 22 Jump Street. Luke and Calum were on the couch and I was on the other couch with Michael.

About halfway through the movie Luke and Calum were asleep on each other which was funny. They act negatively towards each other but are really just cuddle bugs. Michael had his head on my lap which made me smile like an idiot. I layed down on the couch beside him and he now had his head laying on my stomach. I gently started playing with his bright red hair. This isn't considered 'cheating' is it? I shouldn't even worry about it anymore, as much as I know, we're not together anymore.

After a while of running my hands through Michael's hair which was really satisfying, I slowly started falling asleep. I think I really need to get my shit together and think about what's happening and what will.
