MICHAEL'S P.O.V

I can't believe he just called Angie a slut. I don't even know what happened, but I was pissed at how he could be so rude to a girl so sweet. I look over to see Angie's makeup is running down her face, I've never seen someone cry so hard. I decide I probably shouldn't say anything right now, with the rage in me I would probably end up saying something stupid.

We get to her place and I walk her up to her room.

"Thanks, Michael"

"No problem." I start to walk down the hall.

"Wanna come in?" I hear her say. I turn around and walk into her flat. It's a cute little place, with a fireplace in the living room, two bed rooms, and a kitchen.

"Nice place" the only thing I manage to say.

"Thanks." She smiles. Damn. That smile is gorgeous. "Thanks for coming to get me. To be honest, I don't know why I called you." I laugh.

"I was thinking the same thing. I thought you hated me." I smile, saying it kind of as a joke, but kind of as a question.

ANGIE'S P.O.V

His laugh. It's contagious.

"I don't hate you. I mean, I have to admit, I did." He acts like he's offended at what I just said. "Oh c'mon. You're constantly Hooking up with girls, and you don't even care."

"That's all you know about me. You can't hate someone without knowing them." He giggles.

"What is there to know about you, Michael Clifford?"

"Well, I play guitar in a band called '5 seconds of summer'" he smirks, like that was supposed to make me like him.

"Is that how you pick up girls?" I ask annoyed.

"No, I usually just flash a smile and say 'hi' and there all over me" I rolled my eyes and laughed at his answer. He's so full of him self. Why'd I call him and not Luke? Why did I invite him in?

"I'm kidding. But I got you to laugh." He says smiling. "What happened with you and that guy anyway?"

"His names Andy. And I caught him with another girl." I said, trying to hold back the tears.

"Oh, shit. What a dick."

"Your calling him a dick? You're the one who probably sleeps with 10 girls a week." I'm not taking Andy's side, but it is the truth.

"Hey, I may sleep with a lot of girls, but if I had an amazing girl like you, I would never sleep with another girl" He sounded very serious, and sweet when he said that. I his my face because I knew I started to blush.

The next thing that happened caught me by surprise. I leaned in a pressed my lips against his. I don't know if it's because I was still mad at Andy and wanted to get back at him, or if I was actually falling for Michael, but it felt right. I climbed over his lap and he held my waist as my hands combed through his bright, obviously dyed, red hair. He pulled away slowly.

"I should go." He said as I got off his lap.

"What?" So he can hook up with a million girls, but as soon as I try to hook up he doesn't want me? What was wrong with me?
