GOOD GIRLS WAS MY SHIT OK MICHAEL U MADE THAT VIDEO UR BITCH

Ashton: "It's been a while since I've felt butterflies, do you feel the same way too?"

"Hey, hurry up!" You laughed, hoisting yourself up the window. You climbed the wall, so you could sit down on Ashton's rooftop. Ashton emerged from the window as well, shaking his head as he laughed, his prominent dimples popping out of his cheeks as he did. You gently pat the space next to you, and Ashton took the spot beside you. Today was new years eve, and you made a little tradition with Ashton since you were children. You would climb up the roof of his house and watch the fireworks together. It has always been you two against the world, but ever since Ashton joined a band with a three high schoolers from another school, he hasn't been able to make time for you at all. He's usually busy rehearsing with his band, or hanging out with them to play video games or something. You haven't really seen him in a while, and it's summer vacation - you have made so many plans for the two of you before summer began, but he was never around anymore because of his band. You don't hate him for ditching you for the band, it was what he wanted to do and you weren't going to stop him from trying to make his dreams come true. You just thought it sucked because you haven't been able to spend time with him in such a long time. "I missed you," He breathed out, scooting closer so your arms were touching now. "Missed you too," You smiled, casting your gaze over at the golden haired boy, who just wrapped an arm around you. "Look," You pointed towards the night sky, which was already filled with colorful, bursting lights. "Beautiful," Ashton breathed out, as he watched the fireworks explode in the sky. You glanced over at your best friend's profile, feeling those familiar butterflies you have only recently started feeling around him. It was cliché, you have been around him so much that you started to fall for him. It only started around senior year, when you realize that Ashton wasn't just that boy with an adorable giggle you met during year four. He became a man, and you couldn't deny that you were attracted to your best friend. That attraction eventually grew into something more, you realized that since you first started feeling weak in the knees and those butterflies start fluttering, all because he was around. It's been a while since you've felt this way, but the important question was - does he feel the same way too? You might never know the answer to that question, you were afraid of finding out the truth. But when he turned your way and smiled, leaving a soft kiss onto your lips and whispered, "Happy new year love." It was then that you knew that he did, in fact, feel the same way.

Michael: "I gotta say I wasn't expecting you to come this way, and fall into my arms. And now I know I can't deny these feelings any longer,"

When year twelve rolled around, you had to transfer schools because you moved into a new state with your family. Transferring schools meant leaving behind everything and everyone you loved - and you were extremely nervous during the first day. No one really talked to you, despite being the new girl because everyone knew one another - you were practically a fish out of water. But on the first day, you noticed a certain boy by the name of Michael Clifford. You didn't know what it was about him that caught your attention, it could have been the long blonde fringe or because he was really tall, or because you heard him singing during music earlier that day and you were mesmerized by his voice. But there was just something about him that you couldn't shake off, and you were surprised when he sat down beside you during lunch and started talking to you. Michael became your first friend, and he introduced you to Calum and Luke, his best friends later as well. You became part of their little group, and you liked being around them, especially around Michael. "Hey," Michael greeted, plopping down on your bed as you fumbled with the last button of your shirt nervously. Lately, your tiny crush on Michael grew tremendously, and you found yourself falling in love with your friend over the course of a few weeks. You tried to keep it in, but it was just too much for you to handle. You loved him so much that you wanted to cry, that was when you realized that you can't keep your feelings bottled up inside you. You had to tell him and you decided that now would be the perfect time to do so, because graduation was only just a few months away and you were gonna go your separate ways. You had to tell him soon, you didn't care if he didn't like you back, you just needed to tell him how you felt. "Hey," You felt your heart race in your chest, hammering hard against your rib cage as he scooted closer and cast his jade eyes onto you. "So, what did you call me out here for?" He asked, running his fingers through his blonde hair with a smile. You thought that confessing your feelings was easy, but you couldn't get the words out now that the real thing was happening. You let out a shaky breath, gathering as much courage as you could, "Michael, you were practically the first friend I ever made and I can't thank you enough for that." Memories with Michael flashed in your head as you talked, all the good and all the bad replayed in your head. "And you're like my best friend," You chuckled, recalling the one time he got so drunk and fell into your arms at a party. That was the first time you felt a spark, when he caressed your face gently, even when he was drunk, he was still adorable. "But lately, I've been feeling something different," You continued, swallowing the lump in your throat. Your eyes flickered towards Michael, who was listening intently and had a serious expression fixed on his face. "I thought I began feeling sick, because my stomach hurt whenever you were around and my heartbeat picks up. But as time passed, I realized that I wasn't sick at all. It was something different," Your eyes fluttered close, seeing the image of Michael smiling at you in your mind. "And I now know I can't deny these feelings any longer. I've tried to stop it from growing, but the more I fought, the more it grew and I found myself falling in love with you." You took a deep breath, opening your eyes as you prepared yourself for Michael's reaction. He had a faint smile on his face, and he held his hand out, cupping your cheek as he leaned in. "Thanks for falling in love with me," he shrugged. "I know I might not be able to love you just as much as you love me now, but I do know that I feel something for you, I just have to fall harder so it could grow, if you would give me a chance to." Michael liked you back, it was unbelievable, although he didn't like you as much as you loved him, you didn't care. He felt something for you, and that's what matters. "Of course," He grinned, and enveloped you in a warm embrace. "Thank you for giving me a chance."
