"I almost unblocked Calum today." Michael says, almost so quickly that I can't catch it, but I do. And I feel a bit relief, but also confusion. As far as I know, Michael's moved on. He has a boyfriend, he's happy. Why would he want to unblock Calum?

"You- what? Why?" I ask, turning to face him on our uncomfortable couch.

"Miss him." He says, and his voice even cracks as he does. Which breaks my heart.

Michael loved Calum. You could tell; I don't think anyone could have that kind of love. The way Michael looked at him, and the way they treated each other; it was the kind of relationship that you pray for.

That's why I don't trust anyone.

I sigh, pulling him in for a hug as I see his eyes water. He let's out quiet cries as I run his back in sympathy. Michael doesn't cry over Calum, at least not anymore. If he does, its because he really does miss Calum. Like, so much it hurts.

I sigh, resting my chin on his shoulder , still rubbing his back. "I miss them, too, Mikey."

"You have Kaleb now. He's pretty great, yeah?" I say, pulling away from his hug and smiling at him. I know that even though he has Kaleb, he still really misses Calum. And that makes me hate Calum, even if we were best friends at one point in time. Yeah, Michael has done me wrong in the past, but I've forgiven him. He's a great guy, once you get him to open up.

He smiles, nodding shyly, "Yeah, he is."

"You want me to invite him over?" I ask, sending Michael a smirk. Michael laughs, pushing my shoulder in a teasing manner.

Kaleb and Michael met at an All Time Low concert about three months ago. Michael was still upset about about Calum, so I thought I'd do something special for him and buy tickets to see his favorite band. Kaleb was the guy seated next to us. They just started talking and singing along and they went out for something to eat after the concert and hit it off, I suppose. They're cute, can't deny that.

"Guessing that's a yes?" I ask, smiling at Michael.

He smiles, wiping away his tears and nodding, "Yes, please, Ash."

I decide not to tell him that I almost unblocked Luke today, because he's got enough stress on him, he shouldn't have to worry about me unblocking some jerk that just happens to be his ex-best friend. I'm over Luke, anyway. I have Connor - who also happens to be an amazing guy.

I met Connor while I was getting coffee from Starbucks. It's the cheesy story of the boy meeting the girl and they get to talking and the guys asks the girl on a date. Then they start dating. Have you heard that story? Yeah, it's like, every cliché movie ever. It just happened to happen to me. Except I'm not the 'girl' in the relationship. Connor is. Ha.

But, I'm happy.

I think.
