Liam

On Friday, Louis and I weren't back to England. I rode with him to Cheshire so I could spend the week of Christmas with my own family and maybe even Louis too.

We parted ways when he dropped me off at my house. I hugged him goodbye and watched as he pulled out and drove off. I lazily made my way inside. My mum was sitting in the armchair watching TV and my dad was asleep on the couch.

"Liam!" She exclaimed when she saw me. "Oh my goodness; it's been ages!" I smiled and dropped my bags and went over to hug her.

"I missed you so much," she told me, squeezing me tight.

"I missed you too, mum." I moved my bags away from the door then went and sat across from her in the rocking chair.

"So how's school been?" She asked me while she paused the TV.

I began with telling her all about my classes, similar information that I gave Louis when he asked. Then I told her all about the crazy Niall situation, and finally my feelings for Louis.

"Why don't you ask him out?" She asked me. I scoffed.

"Louis? Please. He could do so much better."

"Liam," my mum scolded, "you are an amazing young lad, and anyone would be extremely lucky to have you."

"I don't know," I said. "I might. I don't know, though."

"I think you should."

Michael

For Christmas, Ashton, Calum, and I went back to Australia. We lived in different cities though, so we didn't really see much of each other.

I don't know what Luke did. He and I had kept in contact a lot, but last time we spoke, he was trying to decide whether or not he should go.

I went out for a walk on Friday afternoon, four days before Christmas. I wanted to call Luke and see how everything was, but I needed privacy away from my parents. They were too nosey.

"Hello?"

"Luke," I breathed, smiling as I walked along the sideway.

"Oh, hey Mikey," he greeted. "How's it going?"

"Pretty good," I told him. "How's everything with you."

"Perfect. Everything is just perfect."

"Really?" I asked smiling wider.

"Yeah. I came home...to Australia. I came to be with my family and...I love it here. I think I might stay, you know? I mean, if I go back, I'll be trapped in that stupid gang, but they don't know where I went, so like...I'm all good here."

"Oh." I was surprised. I didn't know he was in a gang. Why hadn't he mentioned that before?

"Um...gang?" His end went silent. I couldn't even hear him breathe. I had to check my phone and make sure he didn't hang up.

"Luke? You still there?"

"Yeah," he whispered. I pursed my lips, waiting for him to speak some more. I heard him sigh, then he started.

"I didn't mean to let that slip out," he admitted. "Gah. Okay. I trust you. Here it goes; I used to live here in Australia, then I moved to England to see if I could make my life better. At first, it was going great. I was working at American Apparel and I was happy. Then I met...them. They acted like they were my friends. Everything was great until they started stealing from my store and got me fired. That's when I found out they were a gang. Since I had started hanging out with them, that automatically put me in with them. They fucked up my entire life. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I was so ashamed, Michael. I never wanted it to happen, but it just...did. Do you hate me?"

"Of course I don't hate you," I told him. "I'm just...surprised."

"Do you think we could meet up?" Luke asked me.

"Where?"

"Sydney? That's where I am. Or I could come to wherever you are."

"I'll come to Sydney," I told him. "I live ten minutes outside of the city anyway."

"Awesome. Tomorrow?" I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, tomorrow."
