Michael's POV

I can't believe Calum would betray us like that. Betray me like that. He was like a brother to me, and then goes and pulls a fucking stunt like this. After all the shit Megan has put Alison and I through over the last few weeks, surely he would realize how toxic she is.

"I can't believe it!" I seethed as Alison and I got back to the flat, after a very silent, anger filled drive home.

"I know, what a dick move!" Alison agreed, kicking off her shoes and following me into the kitchen, where I was leaned on the counter, using all self control I had not to smash every plate in the cupboard.

"But then again, this could be beneficial to everyone," She said distantly, running a hand threw her hair. I looked at her, half confused, half angered.

"How!? In what fucking planet is this a good thing!?" I shouted, softening slightly as Alison recoiled at my harsh tone.

"Well, it means that Megan is finally off our backs, and Calum isn't as lonely," She explained quietly, and I used my arm that was closest to her to bring her into me, resting my chin on top of her head.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right," I began, punctuating my sentence with a kiss to her forehead.

"But what if she hurts him? I can't just stand by and watch my friend get ruined by that she devil," I said, smiling to myself as Alison giggled at the description of Megan.

"True, she might hurt him. But, when we saw them together, I read it in both their eyes that they really like each other. And if she hurts him, we can't turn our backs on Cal, we need to be their to support them," Alison reasoned diplomatically.

I reluctantly nodded, and she pulled away from where her face was buried in my neck, attaching her lips to mine, in a passionate, spark filled kiss.

"You never know, Megan might actually be nice, now that she's not trying to steal you from me," She whispered against my lips, and I chuckled, connecting us in a kiss

~Taylor's POV~

I was sat in my kitchen, spinning on the bar stool as I watched Adam make hot chocolate, his back turned to me so I could stare all I wanted and he wouldn't even know! What!?

I felt my phone buzz next to me, and picked it up, unlocking it to see a message from Alison.

'Family meeting at mine in half an hour! Be there or be square!'

"Ad, we need to go to Ali and Mike's for a 'Family meeting' I said, using my fingers for air quotes. He turned around to face me, putting our hot drinks in travel mugs that we could drink from during the 15 minute walk to their flat.

"Here you go, Angel," My boyfriend chirped, handing he the mug and kissing my cheek. I smiled, blushing as I stood up from the stool.

"I don't deserve you," I sighed as we closed my front door behind us and he intertwined our hands.

"Correction. I'm the one who doesn't deserve you," He replied charmingly.

Once we had arrived at Ali's and Mike's, we took our usual position on the floor, all the other couples around us as we waited for what Alison and Michael had dragged us here for.

I noticed Calum wasn't here, and I was slightly confused, but tried to ignore it.

I then saw Ellen cuddling into Ashton's side, smiling at the new couple. They were quite adorable.

"Guys, we brought you here, cause we felt you needed to know something," Michael said in the most slight, irritated tone, grabbing all of our attentions.

"Calum!" Alison called to the door, and in walked Calum, with a very unexpected person beside him. Megan. I looked down to their hands, seeing their fingers laced together. Oh hell to the no!

"Da fuck!?" Tamara shouted, standing up, and I joined her, staring in disbelief at the two of them.

"Someone care to explain?" Luke asked agitated, and I watched as he tightened his grip slightly on Emma's waist.

"Megan and I are seeing each other. I know, you all hate her, and you probably hate me now too. But I care about her, and whatever you think, that's not going to change," Calum said, pulling the blonde bimbo deeper into his side.

"For what it's worth, I'm really sorry for everything I've done, and I don't expect any of your attitudes towards me to change," Megan said quietly, and for a second I actually believed her. It kind of looked like others did as well.

~Luke's pov~

We all went quiet not know what to say. My protective side came out and pulled My little Emma further into my side if it was possible, her small body curled to fit in.

"I ughhh I guess I will be going then." Megan mumbled and walked away from Calum to her apartment. It genuinely looked like they really liked each other. I don't know is Alison and Michael could see that after what happened but I could see it. I think Kitten could see that as well as she looked up at my from where her head rested on my chest.

"I better be going as well then." Calum whispered as well reaching out to close the door.

"Cal." Michael said quickly to grab his attention. Calum looked up with hopeful eyes to him. He looked like a lost puppy stood in front of us all. It was obvious he didn't feel welcome. Right then I don't think he was, it was a bit of a shock to us all what happened. No one expected it. "I- umm I'm sorry for what I said before. I was angry."

Michael spoke in a hushed and rushed tone obvious he wasn't happy about what he was saying but he did look guilty.

"Thank you." He mumbled and headed out the door.

"So..." Someone dragged out. The silence was filled with confusion and tension.

"Well..." Alison said breaking everyone out of their day dreams as she told us what was going on.
