Chapter 23

Tori's P.O.V.
I was laying there in my bed. My hand was feeling the soft blue material of my bed spread. I was crying into my silk pillow. Also, I was wondering why Calum tries so hard to help. Sometimes he screws things up. He kind of deserves this, or does he? I don't know! Maybe, I'm just over reacting and in the process also breaking his heart. I knew I was breaking his heart.

I got up and wiped my eyes. I removed the ruined mascara from my cheeks. I opened my door. I was going to try to talk to him. I suddenly hear violent screaming, in the voice of Calum. "What the hell happened to my girlfriend?! What the hell did you do Ashanti?! Were you mad Michael kissed Tori?! Was this your revenge?!"

I walked down the stairs slowly, so they didn't hear me. I got to the bottom step, still unnoticed. I step off the last step and take one more small step. I clear my throat, to get acknowledged. Calum turns to me, along with Ashanti.

"Tori, what the hell happened? What did she do? I'm sorry that you have to live with that thing." His words hurt my ears. It hurt how he thought my friend hurt me like this. No, I just ran away, come back fine and within two minutes two solid black lines of mascara form under my eyes. I could tell he was waiting for an answer. I decided to give him one, one he wouldn't forget.
"What happened? You screamed at my friend, who didn't do anything. If anyone was a thing, it would be you. Okay?
Ashanti didn't hurt me. She never would. However, apparently you would, like every other fucking boy on this planet. Except, a few, like the three others in this room."

"Wh-"

"No. Get out of my house, now." I was scared on the inside, this was mine and Cal's first major fight.

Calum turned to his friends/bandmates. "C'mon guys, let's go."

"No, they can stay. You, Calum, you go, now." His expression showed he was hurt. He shuffled to the door with his head down. I looked away from the door that Calum just exited. Everyone's facial expressions were shocked.

"Look, it's almost 8:30. We also have to record tomorrow, it's the last couple of tracks for our new album. And we are writing one more. So we are going to go because we need to be up early tomorrow." Ashton says probably as an excuse to leave, because we all know 11:30 isn't early. Ashton got up from the couch and soon did Megan. Megan hugged him and Ashton kissed her head. Luke whispered something to Rylie, then they stood up hand in hand.

"Tori?" Michael asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can I get a drink of water?"

"Yeah sure." Michael and I walked into the kitchen. I went over to the cabinet where we stored our cups.

"No. I need to talk to you. I don't want water."

"Oh okay. What?"

"Calum was really mean to you and Ashanti. I really feel bad for you two. I was wondering if I could stay here for the night. I don't want to go back to Mr. Screamer. Please?"

"I don't know. I mean you are Ashanti's ex, it would be weird."

"Not if I still loved her, it wouldn't be weird."

"Awe, that's so cute!" I said smiling. "Can I tell her?"

"No" Michael grabbed my sholders so I couldn't move. "I want to tell her. Not now but later I will tell her."

"She still loves you too. If you can believe it." He smiled at this. They still loved each other, and they didn't until know.
"So can I stay here for the night?" He asked still smiling.

"Yeah sure." I smiled and exited the kitchen. Ashton, Luke, and Rylie were waiting. Ashton was just tapping his foot, Luke stood like a statue, and Rylie was fixing her purple and blue hair. I found it kind of weird that she wasn't with Michael, they both had dyed hair. However, Michael's changed color recently and her'a has been the same for three years.
Michael soon walked into the living room. "Ready?" Ashton asked.

"No, I'm staying here for the night." Ashton looked to Luke. Luke just shrugged. They left after that. Michael, Megan, and I just sat there for a couple minutes.

"Let's watch Netflix!" Megan says.

"Okay." Michael and I say in unison. Michael reached for the remote. He was about to turn the television on, but he was interrupted by Megan's phone ringing. The All Time Low song, Break Your Little Heart started playing. She looked to see who it was and then answered.

"Hey Ash, what's up?" She says.

"It's Calum. Put the phone on speaker." I hear him say since the phone is two inches away. Megan selects speaker on her phone and put it on the coffee table. "Okay. We got home and looked everywhere. We can't find Calum. He won't answer his phone."
