The Legacy Bell

I'll call you back so leave a message.

"Class dismissed." Professor Jacobs says and I pack up my guitar and push my way out of the community college classroom.

I did my first year on line so this year I have to be in classes for my degree in guitar theory. I decided a couple years ago I wanted to be a guitar tech so I am one year away from my dreams.

I finally make it home and unlock my apartment door and run face to face into the graffitti Zayn and I did. I smile and set my sticker covered guitar case on the couch and walk to the kitchen.

I grab a Peace Tea from my fridge and grab my cell phone and check to see if I have any missed calls.

None. Wait! There's one!

Oh. It's from Vic. 

Not that Vic calling me isn't exciting but I was hoping it was Mikey.

I sigh and decide to wear the pants in the relationship and call him.

Ring....................... "Hey. You've reached Mike. I'll call you back so leave a message." the familiar voicemail says. "Uh. Hey Mikey. It's Bay. I just got done with class and was hoping to talk to you. Please call me back. Love you Mikey." I say and hang up.

I walk to the couch and plop down next to the guitar and fiddle around with the unplugged electric guitar, playing some notes from Weightless by All Time Low. 

I put the guitar away as my fingers start to bleed. I grab a tissue and wipe the blood up off my guitar and walk to the bathroom and clean my hand. 

12:30. Shit. It's passed midnight. 

I finish washing my hand off and change into a baggy shirt and short yoga shorts.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" my alarm screams Perfect Weapon and I slide out of bed and get dressed, letting the song keep playing. I turn of the music and walk into the kitchen and grab a granola bar and race out of the building with my guitar case bumping against my leg. 

"Hello again." the professor says when he walks into the room. He starts with my first class.

The day speeds by and I walk out of my fourth class of the day. I know way to many college classes per day but I want to get the degree as fast as possible. 

"Hey Mikey. It's Bay...again... Did I do anything? Can you please call me? Or text me? Or talk to me? Please? Okay, well, I love you Michael." I say and hang up.

I sigh and sit on the couch arm and as soon as I do there is a knock on the door. I groan and stand up to answer it.

"Taylor?" I ask when I see my twin at the other side of the door. 

"You messed up big Bailey." she says and pushes her way into my home.

"What do you mean?" I ask and Taylor throws a magazine at me. I flip it over and the cover says.....

5SOS star's heart broken by a small town girl? How is Mikey mending his heart?

"What the hell is this?" I ask and look at Taylor. "You broke a member of my favorite bands heart." Taylor tells me. "What? No I didn't." I say confused. "You have. Look at what the interview says." Taylor says and flips to a page in the magazine. 

"So, if you don't mind me asking, how did she break things off with you?" 

--"It was so random. We were doing great. I kept trying to call her, since we are over here [In London] and she is in the states. Eventually I got a hold of her and she said she couldn't do the long distance relationship. I offered to fly her out but she refused and broke up with me."

"How horrid. Now. I understand you have met someone who accepts the distance?"

--"Yes I have. She is amazing. Her name is Amanda. She has the prettiest eyes and long blonde hair." 

I look up from the article and at my twin.

"I haven't talked to him since he left for London with everyone else." I tell her and she scoffs. "Please believe me." I beg. "Sorry Bay." Taylor says and walks to the door. 

"Wait!" I say and she turns around. "I have proof I'm telling the truth." I say and grab my phone. "Fine." Taylor says and walks to me. I show her my call log and her eyes widen. 

"He's lying." I say and she hugs me.

"I want to know more." Taylor says and I scroll through my contacts and look for Liam's number.

RIng.........

"You have a lot of guts calling me." He says and I sigh in relief that he picked up. "I didn't do anything." I tell him. "Right. Now, who am I supposed to believe. You or the person I have been living with for almost a year?" Liam asks rethorically.

"Please Liam. I didn't do anything." I say. "Don't call us again." he says and hangs up.
