He Thinks You Cheated (Requested by mollie_mcglew)

A/N: the update is awesome woah at this interface hell yeah. Michael's here was the most fun to write. Sorry that one is so much longer wow x

Ashton:

You arrived home at 9AM after sleeping over at a friend's house. "Ashton, I'm back! How was your night? Did you watch the movie I recorded?" Your voice travelled throughout your small, shared apartment. Only a deafening silence replied. You dropped all your sleepover gear in the living room and called his name again, with still no response. A painful worry settled in your stomach as he'd usually wake up to your voice. You entered yours and his bedroom and your heart dropped. All your items were packed in bags around the room. Ashton was on the bed on his phone, acting as if you weren't there. "Ash?" You called quietly, approaching the bed slowly. "Why are my things packed?" You asked warily. He looked up and you noticed his eyes were puffy and his nose was red. "Ashton?" Your voice was barely audible. You could tell he was holding back tears when he took in a deep breath to speak. "I don't care if you were drunk or it was a dare or whatever. You did it and I'll never trust you again," he said coldly, not looking up from his phone. "Ashton, what are you talking about?" You forced yourself to laugh and try to break this unbearable tension. He looked up in shock. "You think what you did to me was funny? I was crying all night because of you!" You went to lie down beside him but he moved away. "Tell me what you're talking about," you pleaded. He threw his phone at you. You picked it up and saw that Calum had sent him a video with the message, 'sorry, but you have the right to know :('. You clicked play and watched a video of a couple making out on a couch at a party. You realised straight away that the girl looked a lot like you, and even owned a similar shirt to the one you wore to your friend's house. You turned the phone off immediately. "Ash, I was at my friend's all night," you told him and he shook his head. "No, you probably slept over at that guy's house. Calum saw you two leave. Did you feel bad at all?" His voice broke and the tears he was holding spilled freely. "It's not me, Ash! Look," you remembered there was a video on your phone you took at your friend's, so you showed him. He seemed to calm down. You turned on his phone again and studied the video as he watched the one of you and your friends. You paused it and smiled. "Look, I don't own those earrings," you said as you screenshot the paused video and zoomed in, showing an earring you've never owned. He snatched his phone and stared at it closely. He threw it carelessly to the end of the bed. "You have permission to never speak to me again," he mumbled. "I'd have reacted the same way," you admitted. "Maybe would have spoken to you before packing all your belonging but that's beside the point," you joked. He hid his face in his hands. "I just love you so freaking much. I acted drastically and I'm an idiot. I'm putting your things back after I cook you a fabulous meal I'll probably end up screwing up so I'll just order something now actually," you laughed at his blabbering. "Why do you even like me? I'm the worst boyfriend ever," he mumbled, reaching over to grab his phone. "Because I can't imagine myself being with anyone other than you," you said, leaning on his shoulder. "I love you."

Calum:

"Calum, you have to believe nothing happened," you pleaded with him as he started gathering the few clothes he kept in your apartment. "As if," he said coldly. "I saw the way you two were acting. You still love him. You don't love me, you never loved me!" He yelled. You shook your head frantically. "That's not true. I love you more than anything," you promised. He looked you up and down. "I saw you go upstairs with him," he spat. "He dragged me, I left as soon as I could to run to you but you were gone!" You explained. "You didn't object to him dragging you and you know it," he said more calmly. "You don't know what I was thinking," you said through your tears. "Stop trying to justify yourself," he said, walking around your room to look for more of his things. "I have nothing to justify!" You yelled. The things he was holding in his arms fell and he swore. "You know what. Take these. Keep them. Steal them like you did my heart and you can rip and shred them along with it," he turned to you with tear stained cheeks. "Calum!" You yelled and he froze. "You know I love you and trust you more than anyone and anything in the world. If you leave now because you don't trust me as much as I trust you then I don't think you love me like I do you," you said. "I love you," he said simply. He dug the bottom of his palms into his eyes. "You didn't do anything," he said and you nodded. "You were downstairs just as I was leaving," he was more talking to himself. "Just, the way he looked at you. I thought for sure you'd leave straight away, but when you were going upstairs the worst things came to mind," he explained. "I'm sorry," he apologised, stepping towards you warily. You nodded and closed the space between you both, burying your face in his chest. "Just promise you won't ever think I'd do something like that again," you asked of him. You felt him nod, "I know, I know. I promise."

Luke:

You found Luke in yours and his hotel room in bed, staring intently at his phone. As soon as you walked in he hid it and stood up. "Y/N," he said slowly. "Yeah, Luke?" You could tell something was up. He was shaking a bit, and when you walked up and went to place a hand on his arm he flinched away. "Luke?" You asked, now suddenly worried. "I saw you, they showed me," he gestured towards his phone. "Showed you what?" You asked. "You and him," his voice broke. "Oh, I hope you're not thinki-" "I just can't believe I had to find out from the fans. As if you think I wouldn't see the photos. Do you see the things being said about you?" He asked and you were in absolute shock. "N-no, but Luke-" "Don't. Is this the only reason you came with me to London? Have an English love affair?" He spat. "Luke!" You shouted and he stepped back. He was shaking more now from speaking to you like that. "He's my cousin!" You exclaimed and every muscle of his seemed to relax. "Oh god, you're serious. Oh my god," he couldn't stop the quiet laughter when he hid his face. "How freaking embarrassing am I?" He asked which made you laugh also. You stepped forward and wrapped your arms around his torso. "Very," you teased. "I need to tweet the truth," he said quickly, picking up his phone. "#staystrongluke was trending, you know?" He asked and you gasped. "Your fans care about you a lot," you said. "I should've spoken to you before believing the stories that people put with those pictures," he shook his head, disappointed in himself. "Yes, you should've."

Michael:

You were in your favourite coffee shop waiting to meet Calum. He'd just texted you to come to an emergency meeting. His best friend Michael had broken up with you a few weeks ago and you had no idea why. He made you take your things and hasn't spoken to you since. The strong friendship you built with Calum through this relationship though was still in tact. He also had no idea why he broke up with you, as Michael wouldn't even talk to him any more or say a word about it to anyone. You heard the door open and saw Calum walk in. He rushed to your table as soon as he saw you and sat down opposite you. "I know," he said, a look of determination on his face. You cocked your head. "I know why he broke up with you," he said and you gasped, "why?!" You asked. "Your friend," he said. "Tori?" You asked and he nodded. "What about her, does he like her?" You asked sadly. "Are they together?" You added, suddenly more depressed than ever. He shook his head slowly, seeming to be dramatically building up to this great reveal on purpose. He paused before he said, "she likes him. She told him you were cheating on him. She wanted to break you two up so she could get to him," he said finally and your jaw dropped. "You are joking," you whispered. He shook his head, "I heard her talking to a friend at a party all about her amazing plan. She didn't know I was there," he smiled. You swore and leaned back against the seat. "There's more," he said, pausing with a bigger grin on his face. "This isn't a commercial, Calum, just spit it out," you demanded. "She said you were cheating on him with me. Which explains why he isn't talking to me," he nodded and folded his arms, proud of his detective skills. "She said her next plan of attack was to get Michael in his depressed post break-up phase and 'mend his heart'." He shook his head in disgust. "She's the one that broke it! If you like a person you don't purposefully hurt them!" A few people in the shop stared at you and you sunk into your seat. "But wait," he held up a finger, "there's more," he giggled. You glared at him. "Guess what," he smirked. "What now?" You asked, worried. "Tell me I'm the most amazing person right now and get it over with because that's what you'll be saying in a minute," he said. You rolled your eyes. He held up his phone and you shrugged, "what?" You asked. "I recorded her." You practically screamed. "SHUT UP!" You slapped him from across the table and he laughed. "Okay, you're the best," you agreed and he beamed. "Wanna show him together?" He asked and you nodded. So after ten minutes of you both begging Michael to open his door you sighed. Calum handed you his phone on the video he recorded, giving you the honours. You turned it up to full volume and slid it under the door. When the video ended the door opened slowly and a teary eyed, guilty and embarrassed Michael looked at you shyly. "I'm so sorry," he mumbled and you flung the door open, wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him. His arms held you tighter than ever and he kissed you back. "Woah," Calum said in amusement. You pulled back and giggled. Michael handed Calum back his phone with a blush on his face. "I'm so sorry I thought either of you would do something like this. I feel terrible," he mumbled and you just smiled at him. "I'm just glad I have you again. We have Calum to thank," you looked back at Calum who stared at you both proudly. He waved his hand at you, "oh, shucks," he laughed. You three spent the rest of the day eating and watching movies together whilst also coming up with a plan to get Tori back. Michael suggested posting the video on Facebook while Calum suggested drawing rude things on her new Toyota in sharpie. You ended up doing both.

A/N: ahah Michael's is my fave I was excited when I came up with the idea. And you better believe I referenced English Love Affair, that's right
