Them. [5SOS]

Chapter Sixty-Two

~Jade~

"I'm going home," Luke said and Ashton and I nodded.

•

"Kellin, you haven't gone home. You need to rest," I said stroking his arm.

"No, I'm fine," he muttered rubbing his eyes.

"C'mon, Kellin. If you want we can go to my place and you can sleep there," Ashton said.

"Kellin, you should go," Curtis said.

"Are you sure?" Kellin asked.

"Yeah," Ashton said giving him a small smile.

•

"Thanks, man," Kellin sighed.

"Lets go to bed. We all fit in my bed, so its fine," Ashton said.

"Okay," I said.

We got ready for bed and Ashton was right, we all fit on his bed. There was extra room, too.

I drifted to sleep shortly.

~Calum~

"Hey, Michael. Can I ask you something?" I asked as I dodged a turtle shell in Mario Karts.

"Yeah."

"What's your relationship with that girl you saw at the hospital?"

"I don't want to talk about it," he sighed.

"Are you sure?" He slowly nodded.

He groaned after slipping on a banana peel. "Dammit!"

"I have to talk to you about something," I said pausing the game.

"What is so important you have to pause the game," he groaned.

"I talked to Luke-"

"You talked to the traitor!?"

"Michael! Yes I did and he is friends with Jade."

"What!?"

"And he convinced me-"

"We had a deal! I guess we're gonna bully her again," he said.

"I'm not doing hurtful things to her anymore."

"You're such a pussy. Be a man!"

"Hitting females isn't being a man!"

"You aren't anyone to tell-"

"I still want to be your friend, Michael. I just don't want to be apart of you hurting her. We've been bullying her for no reason."

"I don't care anymore. Do whatever you want but I can't be with Jade."

"You can't hurt her. Can't you see Luke had strong feelings for her? Imagine if you had someone whom you loved and they were getting beaten all the time by someone you once called your brother!"

"I- you're right. I need to think about this. I need to go," he said and walked out of my room.

•

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and looked at the screen.

Michael.

I quickly pressed answer.

"Michael?" I yawned.

"Yeah.... can we talk at a cafe or something?"

"Yeah, sure. When?"

"In about two hours."

"Do you want Luke to come as well?"

"I- no, just you."

"Okay," I said and he hung up.

~Jade~

"Kellin, what do you want?"

"General Tso chicken is fine."

Ashton walked away to order the Chinese takeout and Kellin sighed.

"Did you not sleep well?" I asked noticing the bags under his eyes.

"Kinda. I slept but I kept waking up like every hour."

"Cat will be okay," I gave him a small smile.

"I hope so," Kellin said and Ashton walked back in.

•

"I haven't had Chinese in a while," Ashton said with his mouth full.

"I can tell," Kellin chuckled and Ashton opened his mouth to reply but his phone vibrated and he instantly picked it up.

Kellin and I looked at each other and he raised his eyebrow. I mouthed,'I don't know.'

Ashton has been on his phone a lot. Like, everytime it vibrates, he stops what he's doing and he grabs his phone.

"Are you okay?" I asked Ashton once he out it back down.

"Yeah. Why?"

"Who are you texting?"

"Oh, I uh, met someone," he sheepishly replied.

"Really? Is it a girl?" Kellin asked wiggling his eyebrows.

"No, it's your mum."

"Damn, it was just a question."

"Fine, yes it's a girl. Her names Katie Turner."

"Like Timmy Turner?" Ashton rolled his eyes.

"Are you into her?" I asked.

"I don't know, honestly. I love talking to her, but I'm not sure if its love. Maybe she's just a crush."

"Have you ever even met her?" I asked.

"No, but I'm hoping to," he grinned.

~Michael~

"Hey, I'm glad you could make it," I told Calum as he sat down. I handed him a latte I had boughten him.

"Thanks. So what'd you have to tell me?"

"I- I know Cat because....."

"Because why?"

"We are friends."

"You know she's friends with Jade, right?"

"Yeah, that's the problem. I have feelings for her," I admitted.

"And?"

"I can't date her because of that. I just, I feel like I can't. And um, she went to my birthday party and I treated her like total shit. I made her cry. I think that was before the car ran over her. I feel guilty," I sighed.

"I didn't know," Calum sighed.

"Well know you do. Promise me something?"

"Yeah."

"Promise you won't tell anyone."

"But why can't you just try to make it work with Cat and-"

"Please?"

"I promise."
