Flatmates// Cake & Mashton

Chapter fifty four

Luke's pov

So it's been a week since our 'never have I ever' night, luckily mine and Calum's relationship was going really well, Ashton and Michael have been doing really well between each other too, Michael had been really supportive to Ashton about his STD and from having sex with Polly, although I don't know if Michael has told Ashton that he had sex with Chloe, I sure hope he did. As a four our friendship was very strong, we we're closer than we had ever been together, it's a pity something so bad had to happen in order for it to happen, the twin twats were still being assholes but they had mellowed down a bit, I don't know if that's a good sign or not, I hope they aren't up to anything else, I don't think we'll be able to take it. Tyler was being really supportive throughout all this too, we were all seeing him a few times a week currently, there was too much shit going on not to.

Currently we were all in Polly's class "sooo..who's next!" Polly said and scrolled through the register on her computer, the class was performing our songs that was due in today, it was very nerve wracking to say the least "Michael Clifford!" she said and glanced over to Michael "right.." Michael mumbled and got his acoustic guitar, standing up and going to the front of the class "this song..is called..um..Jet Black Heart.." he said nervously, nawh bless his heart, Michael took a deep breath and began to perform.

Everybody's got their demons
Even wide awake or dreaming
I'm the one who ends up leaving
Make it okay

See a war I wanna fight it
See a match I wanna strike it
Every fire I've ignited
Faded to grey

But now that I'm broken
Now that you know it
Caught up in a moment
Can you see inside?

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

Now I'm holding on for dear life
There's no way that we could rewind
Maybe there's nothing after midnight
That could make you stay

But now that I'm broken
And now that you know it
Caught up in a moment
Can you see inside?

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

The blood in my veins
Is made up of mistakes
Let's forget who we are
And dive into the dark
As we burst into colour
Returning to life

'Cause I've got a jet black heart
And there's a hurricane underneath it
Trying to keep us apart
I write with a poison pen
But these chemicals moving between us
Are the reason to start again

The blood in my veins
Is made up of mistakes
(To start again)
Let's forget who we are
And dive into the dark

Woah, that was beautiful..my heart really felt for him, especially when he started to tear up at the end of the song, I felt like a proud dad, Michael smiled at Ashton and sat back down, I was in too much of my mashton awe seeing them smile at each other when Polly spoke up again "that was beautiful Michael..a very great job" she said and clapped, looking at the register to see who was next "so next is..Luke Hemmings!" ah fuck, I tried not to show it but I was really fucking nervous, I knew it was coming, it was only us four that was left to perform but that didn't stop the nerves, I got up and grabbed my guitar, giving Michael a brotherly pat on the shoulder before I walked up to the front of the class to show him how proud I was "you got this Luke" I heard Calum say quietly and looked at him to see a supportive smile on his face, what a gem "what a fucking pussy" I heard Chad mutter to Brad, what? did he seriously just insult Michael right then? if we weren't in class I would have beaten the shit out of him , wanting to even more when I heard Brad whisper back with "I know right, I bet they all have pussy songs" pft, that's rich coming from them, they ended up doing basic covers anyway since they obviously aren't creative enough, double pft. I could tell the boys heard too, Ashton giving the twins a discrete dirty look made that clear "so um, this is called Lover Of Mine" I said and cleared my throat, I really hope that Calum likes the song, to help my nerves I pretended that he was the only one in the room while I performed.
