Michael's P.O.V

I almost kissed her. I'm such an idiot. 

Once Luke and his mom pulled up, I jumped in the passenger seat. Then we started the 15 minute drive. "What happened, you seem.. off." Luke whispered. "Later." He nodded.

Once we arrived at Luke's, he and I went straight to his room. 

"Ok, so what happened?" Luke asked.

"I almost kissed her, before I left."

"Why didn't you?"

"I scared her yesterday, besides why would she want to kiss me?" 

"Michael, she obviously likes you."

"I'm just gonna wait for us to get close. Then when i'm positive she likes me, I'll kiss her."

"How long do you think that will take?"

"I don't know." I really don't know. But I'll wait.

2 Years Later

I did wait. I haven't kissed Anna yet. But I really want to. 

Anna turned 16 last week, and we have been best friends for two years now.

 I have a feeling that she likes me, but something is holding her back. I'm not sure what that is. It worries me, because we tell each other everything. 

"Hey Michael." I heard Ashton call from the front door. The band and I bought a flat, we're doing pretty good. This year we are touring with a huge band, One Direction. It's really exciting.

"Hey Ash. Where is Luke and Calum?" 

"I guess they had to stop at Luke's house. Her mom needed help or something."

"Calum really needs to get his own car." I laughed.

"Agreed." Ashton laughed as he grabbed his drum sticks. "So how is Anna?" 

"She's good. We're going to hang out tonight."

"When are you going to ask her out. We all know you're crazy about that girl." I was.

"Well I might try to talk to her tonight about it." I mumbled, as I rubbed the nape of my neck. 

"Good." Ashton chuckled.

We started playing with our instruments, waiting for they others to show up. God they were slow.

"We're here!" I heard a voice that definitely belonged to Calum. It's about time.

"You guys are so slow!" Ashton called.

"Luke's mom needed help moving furniture around." Calum sighed. Luke walked in and rolled his eyes.

'Whatever, it's not my fault. Let's get to work." Luke said grabbing his guitar. 

"She's dropping out of school 'cause she don't need the grade,
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
I couldn't take her out 'cause Mom's got no money,
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
That she makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
'Cause I'm trying too hard again

She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school,
I followed her 'round the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now
Sitting here at home, it's obvious

She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
That she makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

But now, who knew?
She's in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose,
She's standing right in the front row
The perfect view,
She came alone on her own,
And there's something that you should know

You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
Yeah she makes me feel, she makes me feel
It's obvious

She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard
'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
That she makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
'Cause I'm trying too hard again" Luke finished. 

 "That was great guys. Calum finally isn't squeaky." Ashton joked.

"Hey! I'm not that squeaky." Calum shot back.

"Whatever guys, i'm going to Anna's." They all waved to me, and continued bashing Cal. 

I hopped in my car, and started the 5 minute drive. How was I supposed to tell her I like her? If I don't, I at least need to figure out what's holding her back. I don't think I can take her not being mine for much longer.
