Stress.

Stress.

Calum: "Ugh, I can't do this!" You groaned in frustration as you pushed your pile of textbooks off the desk, causing a loud thud to be heard. "Babe, come to bed." Calum called from your bed behind you. You propped your elbows on the table and buried your face in your hands and you soon began crying softly. Calum quickly got up from his side of the bed and walked over to you, bending down beside you as you sat in the chair. He ran his fingers through your hair as he looked up at you worriedly. He gently pulled your hands away from your face and you looked down at him. "Baby." He cooed. "You need to take a break. Come to bed with me. I want you to get some rest." He said to you. "I can't, Calum. I need to finish this." You replied as you looked at the book you shoved on the floor and tiredly began to cry again. He stood up and wrapped his arms around you from behind, placing soft kisses to the back of your neck. "Come on." He whispered as he picked you. He carried you over to your bed and he laid you down on your side, climbing in next to you. You faced him and cried into his bare chest, letting him wrap his arms strongly around you. "I love you, baby girl." He whispered as he kissed your forehead. "Get some sleep. I'm right here."

Ashton: You rushed around the house frantically, checking everything and finding new things to worry about. "Ashton, can you help me find it!" You yelled at your husband in frustration. "I am baby. Calm down, it won't be too far." He yelled back trying to soothe you. "Ash, don't tell me to calm down." You snapped as you walked into the lounge room where he was looking. He came over to you and reached out for you hands. "Just breathe sweetie." He cooed but you pulled your hands away and turned around. You stood at the counter and began looking through draws, leaving a trail of mess behind which would only cause you more annoyance later on. Ash walked up to you and hugged you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder and wrapped his arms around your waist. "Ash, let go of me." You said to him, trying not to lose you temper. "No." He replied blankly. "Ashton, I need to-" You began but he cut you off. He turned you around so you were leaning against the counter and he took hold of your hands. "Hey, hey, just listen to me for a minute." He spoke. You sighed a let him continue, unsure of what he was going to say. "I know that you're nervous and panicking, I am too baby, but it's ok. You need to relax, alright? Stress isn't good for the baby." He told you. You felt tears pool in your eyes and soon enough you were crying, no doubt due to hormones. "I'm sorry Ash." You mumbled and let him pull you against his chest. "You have nothing to be sorry for." He assured you as he wiped away some of your tears. "Now how about we go cuddle in front of the TV and not worry about anything for a while?" he asked, pulling always slightly and tilting your chin up to look at him. "I'd like that."

Luke: You had texted Luke while he was at the studio and asked him to come home, though you felt incredibly guilty for doing so. Luke had guessed that it was something important as he knew you never liked to distract him from his work so he texted you saying that he was on his way. You heard keys rattle and the front door close from downstairs and seconds later, Luke was calling out for you. You sat up in your bed and wiped away your tears which were softly rolling down your cheeks. The bedroom door gently opened and Luke poked his head in, pushing the door open and walking over to you once he saw you. You gave him a sad smile and allowed him to sit next to you and pull you close to him. You sniffled slightly and leaned against him, taking a deep breath in. He laid back against the bed and pulled you down with him, your head resting on his chest as he kept his arms around your waist. He mumbled a soft "You ok?" against your hair as he let uh nuzzle up to his side. "I'm sorry. I'm just really stressed about a lot of things." You replied to him. "Hey, don't ever apologise for needing me, alright?" He said as he lightly kissed your forehead. You nodded in reply before letting him continue. "Whatever is stressing you out, don't worry about it, ok? If you need help I'll be here. Just breathe baby."

Michael: "Hey Mikey." You beamed, pulling him into a warm embrace as he walked through the door. "Yeah, hey." He mumbled back, shrugging you off. You felt a little disheartened by his cold action but you tried not to let it get to you. He dropped his stuff on the floor next to the front door and walked straight past you into the lounge room. He turned on the Xbox and grabbed his controller out, also putting on his headphones to block out the sound of everything else. Your phone vibrated in your pocket me you walked into the kitchen to read your text in privacy. You saw it was a text from Ashton so you unlocked your phone and went straight to reading what he sent you. 'Hey Y/N. I'm not sure if Michael's told you but he didn't seem to have a good day at the studios today. I think he's just really stressed and beating himself up about stupid little things. The boys and I were just hoping you could talk to him to find out what's bothering him? Thanks.' I frowned as I read the text, sending back a message thanking him for letting me know and saying that I'll go and speak to him. I walked over to the lounge and stood in the door frame, watching Michael intently, noticing that he wasn't getting into the game as much as usual. I walked over to him and took a seat beside him. He looked over to me, his features soft as he gave me a sad smile. I slowly took the controller out of his hands and paused the game, waiting as he took his headphones off. He sat them on the table next to the controller and propped his elbows on his knees as he rested his head in his hands. I placed my hand in his lower back, rubbing in circles soothingly and leaning against his side. "Michael, baby. Talk to me." I spoke gently, keeping my eyes on him. He sighed deeply and shook his head. "What's bothering you? What's on your mind?" I asked as I pulled him closer to me. I leaned back against the couch and pulled him to my chest, keeping my arms around him and he leaned his head against my shoulder. "I've just had a terrible day." He mumbled to you. "How so?" You asked wanting to know what exactly is was that was making him feel this way. He sighed again before continuing to talk. "We were recording songs for the new album and we all took turns." He began though stopped for a few seconds to let our a deep breath. "I couldn't sing at all. My voice kept shaking and I was holding everyone back. And then I came to try my guitar to see if I was any better at that today but the strings were buzzing and I just couldn't do it." He admitted to you. You ran your fingers through his hair and just as you were about to speak he muttered the words "They were right". "What? Who were right?" You asked confused as you looked down at him. "The fans." He spoke, continuing again when you didn't say anything. "When they said I shouldn't be in the band." He said and you heard him cry softly. "Michael babe." You whispered heartbroken as you sat up with him, making him look you in the eyes. "Whoever said that are not your fans, ok? Babe, everyone has off days. I can assure you that you weren't as bad as you think you were. Luke has off days, Calum and Ash too. It's not just you. I love you and I am so proud of you, Mikey." You spoke, keeping your eyes on him. He smiled softly and you pulled him in for a tight hug. "Thank you. I love you." He whispered.

So when I first published this, in Luke's one I accidentally put "I'm just really stressed about a lot if thongs" and I don't think I have ever laughed at myself so hard.

Mikey's was kinda sad, aww.
