Is he the one? A Muke fanfiction

Chapter 3- Do I like Calum?

(Ashton's POV)

"Do you wanna work with me?" I ask Calum. Cal and I have been friends since year seven. We've worked together on almost all of our projects since.

"Yeah sure, buddy." Calum replies. He didn't seem to thrilled to work with me. I wonder whats up with him. I'm sure its nothing. Calum gets like this sometimes. He can go from the most outgoing and spontaneous person to the most depressed and suicidal person in a matter of hours.

"What's going on with you?" I ask him sitting down at a drum kit in the back of the room. I eventually want to have a set of drums for myself. The drums are all black with silver screws. I want mine to be all black because I'm punk rock. Not. I chuckle to myself at the thought of actually being in a band and touring the world.

"Nothing" Calum says grabbing his bass. The bass he has today is black with a red smile on in made of duct tape. Another one he has is white with the words "Love' on it. He widely supports sucide and self harm help. "You sure?" I say genuine. "Yes Ash." He says. "Now lets work on what we're going to do for our performance."

"Cal, I have an idea." I say making him look up from his bass. "What is it Ash. You've said this like five times already this class." He snaps back. "Damn, anyway we should write our own song." I say practically jumping in my seat.

"I dunno Ash, I'm not very good at songwriting neither are you. We just do covers." He replies adjusting his bass strap. "So! You gotta believe we can Cal!" I shout putting my hands over my head. I take the opportunity to adjust my bandana. The class stares at me. They already think I'm crazy. Who really even cares what they think of me.

The bell rings loud in my ear. I rush off the drum set. Calum puts his bass back on the holder on the wall. He looks at it longingly. He whispers "I'll be back for you baby." He doesn't think anyone heard him but i did I don't mention it to him.

"Text me later" I yell to Calum as he walks out of the room. "I will! See ya Ash!"

Ashton Irwin:Hi Cal! Whats up buddy?

Calum Hood: Nothing just contemplating whether I want to actually go through with the whole songwriting thing.

Ashton Irwin: We should totally do it! Maybe we can ask Lukey if he wants to join us.

Calum Hood: Lukey? But I think he has prior arrangements

Ashton Irwin: With who?

Calum Hood: I think his name is Michael Clifford.

Ashton Irwin: Name rings a bell. I think he was in our first period class. He has red hair right? It didnt look like their conversation lasted long.

Calum Hood: I'll invite Luke to the convo if you want.

Ashton Irwin: Yeah go ahead and do that.

Calum Hood has invited Luke Hemmings to join the conversation. 

Ashton Irwin: Hey Luke. Welcome to our convo!

Luke Hemmings: Hey guys! Thanks for randomly adding me to you conversation. What's up?

Ashton Irwin: You know that project we have to do for music? Yeah well we were thinking about writing our own song for it. You wanna be in on it?

Luke Hemmings: Sorry guys Im already working with someone.

~Flashback~ (Luke's POV)"Hey Michael, would you wanna work with me?" I asked him. Michael was a shy boy so I wasn quite sure if he would actually say yes. He already had some sort of chorus written down which I could probably sing.

Without you I'm a lost boy

Without you I'm a lost boy

Come find me I'm a lost boy

'Cause without you I'm a lost boy
 The chours from what I heard was really good. I hoped he would allow me to sing it for him.

"Sure Luke!" He replied standing up with open arms. "Im not very confident in my singing skills. You'll probably have to sing. I play guitar as you can see." He points to his guitar.

~End of Flashback~

Calum Hood: Oh that sucks. We figured you'd be pretty good at writing lyrics to a couple songs.

Luke Hemmings: I would totally write it for you if I didnt already have prior arrangements.

Ashton Irwin: Oh that sucks. We'll I gotta go. I'll text you guys later!

Luke Hemmings: Bye Ash! Have fun doing what your doing!

Calum Hood: Bye babe! See ya later Ash!

That final text is what got me. He called me babe. Cal and I have been friends since year seven and I've never felt anything toward him. He hast had any feeling beside friendship for me either. I wonder what's gotten into him recently. Maybe I do have feelings for Cal. I mean his hair though. The way it falls perfectly onto his forehead. When we do covers, Cal usually sings the most because im a drummer and drummers usually don't get many solos. When he sings I get a get a warm feeling all over my body. Idk if its just a coincidence or if its him.  Its most likely him. Cal is my best friend and In think I've had suppressed feelings for him. I don't know if he even has feelings for me, but I defiantly have feelings for him.
