As Time Goes By;

Months have gone by of waiting on Michael. Michael said he would still talk to you even though he couldn't see you. You hated the fact that Luke had so much power over you.

'Ash do you ever think Mikey will call me? I mean you guys see him a lot for practice. Does he ever say anything about me?' you ask Ashton, one late night while watching Gossip Girl on Netflix.

He glances at you trying to put words together, like his mind is a jumbled mess.

'I think he is too scared to honestly do anything with or about you at this point because of Luke. He kind of just shows up and plays what we tell him to do, it's actually kinda sad. I know he has written a few songs about you but he doesn't share them with the group. I'm sorry, Dev, I know this isn't something you wanted to hear.'

'No, no it's okay. I think it'll be better for me to hear something rather run my head bonkers trying to figure out if he still cares.' you rest your head on his shoulder.

'Maybe one day.' Ash whispers to you.

-

'Mikey c'mon! I told you I was better at FIFA than you but you don't have to be a pouty baby about it.' you giggle at him.

'I didn't expect you to be that f***ing good.'

'Luke was my best friend what do you expect.' You look at him with a sad expression.

'Hey let's not bring him up okay?'

-

Sh*t. You wake up sweaty and press against Ashton's chest. Gossip Girl still playing on the tv and the only thing illuminating your tiny bedroom. You have to talk to him. You throw on a sweatshirt, leggings, and some boots then send the message.

Hey please meet me at the park in 10. I really have to talk to you.

Sent.
