-Hey... Psst. Michael?
He slowly moved around and looked at me. ''What?'' he whispered while trying to keep his eyes opened.
-I think you should wake up and go... It's almost 9am.
-What am I doing here?
Michael got off the bed and looked around the room. He walked towards my window and looked outside.
-This isn't the hotel... Where am I?
-You're in my house.
-What am I doing here?
-You really don't remember?
-No...
His voice sounded concerned, but also very calm when he looked at me.
-Well, last night I heard someone outside making noise, so I went to check and it was you. You were drunk, very drunk, and you started talking to me. I couldn't let you alone, in the dark, without knowing where you were exactly, so I took care of you. I gave you a bath and put you on my bed so you could rest.
-Really? Oh, thank you... Shit, my head hurts.
-Do you want some water?
-Yes, please.
-Okay, I'm going to call Luke... is that okay?
-Yeah, sure.
I went to my kitchen and grabbed a glass. I poured water into it and took it to Michael. I picked up Michael's phone and went to the living room.
*-Michael where are you? We're worried about you.
-Sorry, it's Sophia. He came to my house last night, still don't know how, and he was drunk. He spent the night here so he could rest, but I think it's better to have someone here to pick him up.
-Sophia! Yes, I'll ask our driver to there to get him... It might take a few hours to get there, though. Please take care of him.
-Don't worry, I will.
-And too bad you and Phillipa didn't take our offer.
-Offer? What offer?
-You know... Of coming with us on tour... I mean, I understand you have a job and everything but we would help you. But if you really can't, I guess it's okay.
-What? No one asked me that...
-Really? I asked Zoey and Christy to ask you and they told me you and Phillipa said no.
-No! They never said anything about coming on tour with you. The only thing they told me was that they were going to England yesterday...
-Oh, you must've heard wrong. They're coming with us...
-Are you serious?
-Yes, I wouldn't lie about this.
-Excuse me, Luke, but I have to go.*

~Michael's P.O.V.~
The water was actually making me feel a bit better. I'm confused... I don't remember anything from last night besides the fact that I went to a club. But that's it... Nothing else comes to my mind.
''What the fuck?!'' I heard a scream coming from the opposite side of the house and I immedeatly detected as Sophia's voice.
-Sophia? Is everything alright?
-No!
-What's wrong?
-I can't believe this...
-What's wrong, Sophia?
-Were Christy and Zoey supposed to ask me something?
-Yeah, if you wanted to come with us on tour, but they said you refused.
-They didn't asked anything! They told me they were going to England. Is this some kind of joke?
-No, it's not. Are you sure they didn't ask you?
-Yes!
-Look, give me my phone and I'll show you.
Sophia handed me the phone and I grabbed it. I searched for my texts, to see a lot of new ones and some from last night that I didn't remember. I ignored them, especially because Sophia was in front of me and I don't want her to see them. I started remembering small details from last night.
-See? I have here text messages for them... They told me you refused to come with us because of me.
-Luke told me that I ''said no'' because I had to work.
-Really? Are they lying to us?
-Apparently...

After talking a bit with Sophia about what we just discovered, I came to the bathroom just to go through my phone. I saw some unseen messages from this morning.
From: Luke
Message: Where are you? We're worried about you.
From: Luke
Message: Please, answer!
From: Ashton
Message: Call me when you see this... We need to know where you are.
From: Zoey
Message: Michael, we need to prepare our stuff for our flight tonight!
From: Calum
Message: The guys are sick worried about you. Are you still drunk?
I responded to some of them to let them know I'm okay, even though Sophia already called Luke. But I saw some texts from last night that I don't remember... From Amy?
From: Amy
Message: How are you doing? I miss you...
In which I responded when I was drunk.
To: Amy
Message: I kind of miss you too...
From: Amy
Message: Aww, I knew you would miss me...

-Michael, is everything alright? You've been there for a long time...
-Sorry... I'm just going through my phone.
-I'm making you breakfast, if you want...
-Sure. I'll be there in a second.
I walked to my kitchen and started making breakfast. I tried not to think a lot about what happened last night, of the thing he told me, but his words kept replaying in my head.
I heard a phone buzzing and I saw it was mine. I picked it up and answered.
*-Hello?
-Hi Sophia. It's Phillipa... I'm calling from my mother's phone. How are you?
-Oh... I'm fine... And you?
-A lot better. Have you heard anything from Calum yet? -Uhm... No. Sorry...
-It's okay. Did Michael visit you last night? He called me asking for you house address.
-Yeah... He got here in the middle of the night, drunk. I brought him inside and took care of him.
-What do you mean ''took care of him''? Did you took advantage of him?
-What? No! Is that all you think of?
-Well sorry, but you should've...
-No Phillipa, I didn't and I won't. I mean I gave him a bath and brought him to my bed to rest.
-Yeah, ''to rest''.
-Oh, come on...
-I'm kidding! Just kidding...
-I'm going to need to talk to you later, can you stop by when he leaves?
-Sure... I have to go now, my mum needs her phone. Bye!
-Bye.*
-So, where's breakfast? -Michael said suddenly.
-It's on the table...
-Are you going to tell Phillipa about Zoey and Christy? Or about us?
-About Zoey and Christy... There's nothing about us to tell.
-Oh, I thought we...
-No Michael, we didn't.
-Sorry... I don't remember anything.
-It's okay.

''Michael, your driver's here!'' I screamed so Michael could go. He rushed to the door and kissed my forehead.
-Are you sure you don't want to come?
-Sorry, I can't. I have to work...
-It's okay... Love you.
I didn't even blink. He got in the car and the car disappeared in a matter of seconds. Did he just said that?
-Phillipa!
-Hey! I just saw him in the car...
-Yeah, he just left. Come on, we need to talk.
We both got inside the house.
-What's up?
-Look, Phillipa... Zoey and Christy did something...
-Did you called to talk about them? I'm not apologizing to them.
-I don't want you to apologize! The guys asked them to ask us if we wanted to go on tour with them and -she interrupted.
-Yes! Let's go!
-BUT... they told them we refused. They told something to Michael and something completely different to Luke... They lied. And they're going with them.
-Are you joking? Is this some kind of prank?
-No, Phillipa.. It's not.
She left my house and started running to her mum's car. She looked furious.
-I'm not letting them win.
