Are we wasting time, talking on a broken line. Telling you I haven't seen your face in ages, I feel like we're as close as strangers.

Calum woke me up by calling me, and he never calls me. It's only Ashton or Michael that ever calls me.
"Hello? Calum, what's wrong?"
"It's Michael, I think you should find a way to come out here."
"What's wrong with Michael, Calum? Please tell me he's okay," I have to choke down a sob, I so hope he's okay.
"He's depressed, Charlie. He hardly ever wants to get out of bed anymore."
"I'll be there soon, Calum. Don't tell Michael I'm going," I want to surprise Michael, at least I hope he'd be surprised.

Two Days Later

The boys have a small three day break in London so I figured this would be the time or I wouldn't be able to see Michael. Calum and Luke pick me up from the airport. The two of them hugged me so tight I could barely breathe! Boy, have I missed these two. Just can't wait to see Ashton and Michael.

My eyes well with tears once we get in the car, Luke said that they're hotel is less than ten minutes away. I'm finally going to get to see my boy. As soon as we get to the hotel room, I see that Michael is playing video games on the floor. I decide to sit behind him on the couch and see if he'll say anything. I sit down and put my legs next to him, he doesn't do anything. Just continues to play video games. I lean over on top of him. He pauses the game. Finally. He looks down at my arms, turns around at me and jumps on top of me to shower me in kisses and I missed you's. I become a giggling mess but then he gets serious. He looks me dead in the eye, "I missed you so fucking much, Charlie. You have no idea."
I smile back at him, "I think I have a small idea, babe. But I'm here now, you're happy, and I love you."
He smiles so big, I honestly don't think I've ever seen him smile this big, "I love you too, Charlie. Thank you for coming, I really needed this."
We lay on the couch for hours in the same position until I have to pee. Michael groans and gets off of me. When I come back from the restroom I ask him if he'll help me unpack my bags. Of course, he does. He forces me to sleep in his bed with him. Not that I'm complaining, I just don't want him to get too annoyed with me.

Around six o'clock or so Ashton asks if we all wanted to go out to eat before they have to go back on tour. Luke doesn't pick anywhere fancy, just a place he's never been. Longhorn Steakhouse. I personally, haven't been there either. Calum claims he hasn't. Ashton loves it there so he's excited. Michael's just glad to get out of the hotel room. At the restaurant four of us order a steak, including me, and Calum orders a cheeseburger because he wasn't sure what to trust. We all pay for our own portion of the bill so it's fair. As I'm pulling out my card Michael pays for mine.
"Mikey, what are you doing?"
He looks at me with an obvious face, "Paying for my girl of course!"
I sigh but love the offer, "Well thank you, babe, but you don't have to do that."
"Yes, but I want to."
So, I let him.

Back at the hotel we all watch some movies, Michael and I cuddling while my legs are draped over Luke. After watching a movie with Kevin Hart in it we're all nearly in tears laughing, this is probably the funniest movie I've seen.

After the movie ended Calum decided to put Toy Story in for some reason. Halfway through the movie I started falling asleep on Michael's side. He smells so good, I missed his smell, I missed his voice, I missed hearing his heart beat against my ear when I lay on him, I missed his laugh, I missed laugh, how he looked in my eyes when I talked to him or told him I loved him. As I start to drift to sleep I begin to realize how in love I am with this boy. I want to down the rest of my life with him.
