14: so you got a girlfriend

*knock knock*

*opens door*

"hello!"

"hi..?"

"does um, michael live here?"

"which michael?"

"colorful hair."

"oh yeah, why?"

"i'm um, his girlfriend."

"girlfriend?"

"yes. um, is he here? can i come in?"

"whatever."

i opened the door and she came inside.

"michael, baby!" she yelled out.

calum & luke went downstairs & gave me a confused look. i just darted my eyes away.

michael and ashton then came downstairs.

"oh. h-hi marie."

"michaeeeell!" she squealed and ran towards him. she jumped into his arms and he caught her and looked at me.

i just mugged him and stood next to calum. marie started pecking michael over and over on the lips.

ashton cleared his throat.

"and you are?"

"oh i'm sorry for being so rude, i'm marie, michael's girlfriend."

"girlfriend?"

"yes, girlfriend."

"for how long?"

"we got together 4 weeks ago."

"a month ago?" i blurted out.

"yes haha. i haven't seen him in weeks." she said as she squished his cheeks.

"how come?" ashton asked.

"i've been busy. we met like 2 months ago and were instantly attracted to each other."

"oh, yeah?"

"yep. i watched the interview babe. and you can tell people we're dating. i love you."

"OHH SO THAT'S THE GIRL WE HEARD--"

"luke! let's go get everyone some sodas, yeah?" i yelled out.

"um, okay."

i quickly pushed past him and went and got 3 sodas. luke got another 3.

we went back to the living room where marie was found sitting on michael's lap. he looked uncomfortable, but who am i to say anything?

i sat down next to calum and ashton, across from michael and marie.

"so, uh, marie, tell us about yourself."

"well i'm good in bed according to michael."

i started choking on my soda.

"you okay, syd?"

"y-yeah *cough* just fine."

"anyways, yeah. who are you?" she said in a tone that can't be explained.

"*scoff* she's my girlfriend," calum said before i could say anything.

"oh so like, you too do--"

"no, no, i'm actually ashton's sister too."

"too?!" michael & ashton said at the same time.

"y-yeah."

i looked over at calum and he was smirking. i then looked over at ashton, slowly, and he had a confused look on his face.

i kept noticing ashton was just staring at me and calum, back and forth, whenever one of us talked. weird.

after a while, marie eventually left, and it was time for another world-famous "talk" with ashton. ugh.

"syd, go to your room, i'll be up there in a bit."

"okay."

i went upstairs and into me & ashton's-now shared room and sat there. i rubbed my eyes and sighed. i was tired.

a couple minutes later ashton came in.

"okay. i'm gonna make this short. you, *sigh* you can date calum. as long! as long as you two promise not to go to another level. now if he tries anything with you, you tell me and break up with him. he hurts you. its over. he touches you wrong, i'm gonna kill him. be careful, have fun, and better not fuck up. love you."

he rubbed his knuckles in my hair and gave me a smile. he called calum into our room.

"yeah?" calum said as he walked in with his world famous smile.

"good luck with her."

"thanks man."

ashton left the room and closed the door.

"so?"

"so."

"we're together!"

"yeah i guess."

"are-are you glad t-that we are?"

he gave me his adorable puppy eyes and stuck his bottom lip out. i gave him a soft smile.

"of course, haha."

"great. now you're my girlfriend," he said as his smile turned into a plain face.

"holy fuck you're my girlfriend...i-i gotta get you a present! and-and i gotta tweet about this! and we-we--i wanna tell the world!"

"haha, easy cal. you don't need to do anything," i said as i hugged him. he hugged me back.

"i'm so lucky."

"yeah. me too."

late that night, i snuck out of me & ashton's room. i went downstairs and into the kitchen, just to find michael stuffing his face with vegemite.

"michael?"

"uh--h-hi syd!"

"you okay?"

"y-yeah, just hungry haha."

"i can see that."

i sat on the counter facing him. i gave him a weak smile and he smiled back.

"so you got a girlfriend?"

"uh, not exactly."

"that stung. alot. you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend when we--yeah."

"i didn't remember."

"oh don't give me that bullshit. who doesn't remember having a girlfriend that pretty," i started tearing up, "and i actually thought you liked me."

"syd, i--"

"goodnight michael. i hope calum treats me way better."

he sighed and i wiped my tears away, jumped off the counter and ran back upstairs. i tried to stop crying as i put a pillow over my head to not wake up ashton.

i eventually fell asleep. and that my friends, is crying yourself to sleep.

i mean, its amazing that i get to date calum, but i wasn't really interested in dating calum. i like him yeah, but i liked michael more.

but he's a liar. guess calum will do me good.
