So I actually didn't "End the drama for good" that day.

Once I didn't answer after Michael's third text he called me, I answered and he talked-

For two hours.

Michael sat in his hotel room and talked to me for two hours, about everything and anything.

His feeling about Ashton and I

His feelings about us

And our friendship in general

He seemed so determined to make something work between us and the fact that he didn't push a relationship with me made me happy and comfortable.

It was nice.

It's been two months since Michael and I figured everything out. And then I honestly couldn't be happier.

Ashton and I haven't talked though, it's been two months since that too.

I still don't know how I feel about it, but Michael says I should move on. I haven't even seen Ashton at all for the last two months, whenever Mikey and I hang out he always comes to me for the most part.

I try not to think about it lot, I know Ashton doesn't so it makes it somewhat easier to just move on.

Getting out of my bed, I grabbed my shower bag and headed to the bathroom. My parents have been extremely nice lately, maybe sensing that I haven't really been myself ever since I got home.

They make me breakfast almost everyday and insist on us watching a movie together ever week.

At first I was completely against it but honestly it's not that bad, sometimes we invite Mikey over , it's almost laughable the way he gets into movies.

Last week we watched frozen for the first time and I thought he was going to cry when Ana froze.

I laughed my arse off at his expense obviously and he pouted the rest of the night.

Quickly I jumped into the shower and washed in preparation for the busy day Michael had planned for us today.

He was on a tour break and promised to take me to lunch and then mystery place after.

He says he has a surprise for me, I'm just hoping it's nice another arts and craft project.

The last one ( a paper mâché ninja turtle ) is still sitting in my desk.

"Yay! He's here!" I say to myself as I hear a knock on the door. I ran over to open it and am greeted by a rather surprising hug from Michael who was grinning ear to ear.

"Mikey!" I scream as he picked my up in the hug.

"Josephine!" He replies.

"Oh my God Michael Gordon Clifford stoppppp!" I whine. I hate when he uses my full name but he always does it to annoy me.

"Haha you love it!" Michael said, winking as he walked in.

"So, what's my surprise? Is it another arts and craft project?" I ask, dying to know what it was.

"Um..not quite." He walked back outside the door and a few seconds later I could hear him shout; "dude just c'mon! Get out of the fucking car!"

Please not Calum. Anyone but him.

A few minutes later, Michael walked back in, not alone.

"Ashton" I say turning to face the late visitor.

Ashton shrugged me off and sat down on the couch across from Michael and I, and took out his phone.

Michael and I shared a moment of confusion before Michael for up from his place.

He walked over to Ashton and grabbed the phone out of his hands and dropped it on the floor before placing his military boot over it.

"No Ashton I didn't bring you hear for the wifi. You know why you're here. We both do. So you step out of line once, you'll be saying bye bye to your new iPhone 6" Michael said, smirking as Ashton's jaw dropped.

For someone who was younger and weaker, Michael sure didn't seem scared of Ashton at all.

"Fine" Ashton mumbled as Michael looked back at me.

"Now I gotta get something out of the car so I'll be back in a minute. Please, try not to kill each other" Michael said as he kicked Ashton's phone over to me. I picked it up and placed it down beside me.

As I heard the door close, I try having a civil conversation with Ashton.

"So how have you been?" I asked before being faced with silence.

"Any news or anything?" I tried again.

"You do realise Michael never even liked you. Firstly it was a joke that you took way to seriously and secondly, why the fuck would he like you?" Ashton said squinting his eyes at me.

"He never will like you. So just stop thinking he will" Ashton continued, "no one will ever like you. Especially not me. You think I actually ever liked you!? Why on earth would I like you ? Thats the thing, you're a slutty, bitchy princess arent you?"

Breathless, I watched as he walked over to the couch I was sitting on and picked up his phone.

"Sorry princess" he whispered before walking back to where he originally was.

Before I could react Michael was back and handing me a small box wrapped in golden paper.

"What's this for?" I ask.

"I promised you I'd get you something either next time I was on tour or when I met with Alex again for song writing. So here" Michael says as I tear the packaging off the box.

"Hope it kills you" Ashton mumbles sarcastically and loud enough for me to hear.

When I finally had all the paper off I couldn't believe what I was holding.

"Mikey no...you didn't. You couldn't have. Future Hearts doesn't come out until April." I manage to say staring at the new All Time Low album I was holding.

"Well since Luke and Cal wrote on of the songs, I managed to get it. But look at this too"

Michael carefully opened the cd case and pointed at the inside cover. It read;

Dear Jo,
Hope you enjoy the new album
keep it a secret pleaseeeeeee
Hope to meet you someday
Lots of love from,
Alex x :D

I literally could not believe it. I wrapped my arms around Michael's neck and said thank you a million times.

"By the way, I heard half of what Ash was saying to you before I came back in. Its bullshit. But don't worry I'll get Calum to beat his ass. Ill tell Cal that Ashton said something about his sister - he'll go ape on him." Michael whispered.

"They're that close?" I questioned.

Michael nodded, his scruff rubbing against my cheek making me giggle which lead to Michael giggling too.

"Oh my Jesus Christ - would you two just stop!" Ashton shouted
