Couldn't Be More Different (Cashton/Muke)

Chapter 12

Michael's p.o.v 

Tonight was the Halloween party at Ashton's house. I bought a costume yesterday. I went to a thrift store with my mom because she wanted me to have a costume since everyone else will. I was fine with going in normal clothes but she insisted. I told her we don't have the money. She said it would be cheap enough. When we went to the costume rack and saw a banana costume. I thought others would find it funny so why not. I was walking by the hair dye and saw a bottle of blue hair dye. My hair has been red for a few months now and I wanted to change it up. I looked at the price before getting it though. I would be able to make up for the money I spent yesterday with just one shift at work. I walked out to the kitchen for supper. We were having kraft dinner again. I sat down with my mom as we ate. I heard my dad get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen. He pushed me out of the chair and started kicking me. I just laid there defenseless. When he finished I got up and made my way to my room. I put on the costume and grabbed my phone. Luke texted me saying he would be here in 10 minutes. I was scared. I didn't want Luke to pick me up. I am meeting him outside of the house though. I didn't want any chance if him seeing where I live or seeing my dad. The outside of the apartment building looks ok so as long as he doesn't come inside I will be fine. I don't know what I would do though if he found out what goes on in my house. I walked out the front door and saw Luke's car pull up front. I got in and we both started laughing at each others costumes.

Luke: Nice costume!

Michael: Thanks Buzz Lightyear! You look fucking ridiculous!

Luke: Well so do you! Let's get Calum and go!

We drove to Calum's house and texted him when we were outside. He was going as a vampire. When her got into the car we went to the party. As we were driving to his house. Every house we passed just got bigger and looked more expensive. When Luke pulled into the driveway and parked the car Calum and I were amazed. Luke thought something was wrong with us but we have just never been in a house this big. We walked to the door and Luke just opened it and walked in. We went a bit early to help set up. Ashton came down the stairs smiling at us. We looked at his costume. He was Mr.Blonde from the movie Reservoir Dogs. We helped set up the food and drinks. When it was time for the party people started showing up. It was weird. There were all kinds of high school students here. I thought it would just be a whole bunch of jocks. When Ashton and Luke's friends got here it was awkward. They didn't want Calum or I to be here.

Calum's p.o.v

It was a few hours into the party and I was actually having fun. Michael made me a few drinks I have never had alcohol until tonight. Everyone at the party was either drunk, high or both. it was weird because the football team was actually being kind of nice to me. Well when they are sober it will go back to normal. Luke and Ethan went somewhere doing who knows what. Michael went to the bathroom leaving Ashton and I alone.

Calum: You're so fucking hot did you know that?

Ashton: Calum how many drinks did you have?

Calum: I don't know ask Michael.

Ashton: Calum you can barely walk you should sit down.

Calum: I'm fine cutie.

Ashton: Calum I know you are just saying this stuff because you are drunk.

Calum: Maybe I actually like you.

Ashton: Ok you can lie down in my room for a bit until you sober up enough to walk.

Since Calum was too drunk to walk I picked him up and carried him to my room. When I opened the door I set him down onto my bed and tucked him in. He passed out immediately. He looks so cute when he is sleeping. Well I hope that doesn't sound too creepy. I went back to the party and hung out with everyone. When the party was over I started cleaning up the mess. My parents aren't home until late tomorrow but my sister and brother are coming home in the morning. If they found out I had a party they would rat me out. I went to my room and laid down. That's when I realized someone was in my bed. Shit I forgot Calum was in here. Luke drove Michael home but forgot that Calum was sleeping in my room. I didn't want to wake him so I just turned over and attempted to sleep. It was no use. I wouldn't be sleeping for another few hours. I just laid there and tried to sleep.
