Ashton:
You groaned as you finished another one of the Ben and Jerry’s your mother had bought you. It’s been a day since you ended your friendship with Ashton, and he hasn’t called nor texted you, at all. This made you hate him even more, your impression of him deteriorating as time passed. You’ve decided to just drown the hurt out with food and decided to do a lot of comfort eating these past two days, the food didn’t help cure the broken heart but it numbed it down, even just a little bit. You tried to be strong though, and you were strong for only a second before you burst into tears once more. You loved Ashton so much, you loved him to bits and having him around was something new for you. You had to admit that what he did hurt and was a really dick move, he would choose to treat you like shit in front of his friends but whenever he was only around you, he was the selfless and kind person you fell for. You didn’t understand it at all, was he ashamed of you? Or was there another reason why he just pushes you away whenever he has his friends around? You wanted so desperately to know, but you weren’t gonna come crying for Ashton to take you back as his best friend. You weren’t gonna do that after you severed your bond with the one guy who stuck with you through thick and thin for years now, you have decided to move on with your life, even if it meant that you had to let him go. You had to learn how to be strong without him, but it was extremely hard to do and you couldn’t just forget about him. You rolled around your bed and buried your face into your pillow, wanting nothing to do but sleep to forget about him. But you still thought about him even in your dreams, which brought you to the conclusion that you could never escape the thoughts of him. Every single thing reminded you of him and you didn’t like that, at all. You suddenly felt a hand on the back of your head, stroking your messy and unruly hair. You thought it was one of your siblings, but you realized that your siblings wouldn’t be this loving towards you so you lifted your head to look at whoever was stroking your hair. You let out a gasp and immediately distanced yourself from the boy with the curly golden hair. His beautiful green eyes weren’t as bright as they used to be, they were bloodshot and puffy, like he was crying. He also had huge black bags underneath his eyes and his hair was extremely messy, like he had just woken up. He looked like a wreck, but he was nothing compared to you. You were a total mess and he actually still looked good even if he was a wreck. “Ashton,” His name escaped your lips and he quickly pulled you into an embrace. He buried his head into the crook of your neck, with his arms snaked around you tightly. “I missed you,” His voice was raspy, as if he really had just woken up and it made your heart race. You found yourself hugging him back, rubbing his back with your hand as you took in his familiar scent with a small smile. You missed him dearly, and you were glad to have him back in your arms because you didn’t know how much longer you would last without him. “I’m so sorry,” He murmurs against you, before pulling away slightly to look into your eyes. “I’ve been such a dick to you, and you don’t deserve that at all. I really am sorry, I was just afraid…” He trailed off, and your eyebrows met in confusion. “What are you so scared of?” He bit down on his bottom lip and shrugged, “I guess I was just afraid that you would want to befriend those boys. And I don’t want them to befriend you, so I tried my best to push you away whenever they were around.” You still didn’t understand and so you asked him why he did that, and he just looked down. You noticed the faint streak of pink across his face when he answered, “I didn’t want you to fall for any of them, and I didn’t want any of them to get to know you and fall for you.”
Michael:
You continued to stab Michael’s picture with the pen that he let you borrow the last time you tutored him. It’s been almost a week since the day he used the nerd card as a cover-up, and you were still very much furious at him. You didn’t understand why he would just hide you, the girl he likes, from his best friend and pretend that you were just a nerd who was helping him pass the subject he was failing in. He could have just told Luke the truth about the two of you, but instead, he chose to do a dick move. It didn’t really hurt that much to be called a nerd by Michael, you were used to that nickname because you would admit that you were kind of one. The thing that stung the most was that he didn’t tell Luke the truth, he hid the fact that you two were dating and that hurt you. You assumed that he was just ashamed to be with a nerd like you, because there wasn’t any other explanation why he would hide your relationship like that. You needed him to explain himself, but he hasn’t been replying to any of your messages or calls, which led you to believe that he only used you for his own advantages. He whispered sweet words in your ear and fed you lies, only to get his grades up in class, which made you tear up. You can’t believe that he used you, the boy you liked and the boy you believed to be such a sweet and kind person. You should have just believed what everyone else said about him - he really was a selfish dick who would do anything to get what he wanted. You were blinded by infatuation once again, and you dropped Michael’s picture onto the carpeted floor, your hands making their way to your eyes. The tears stung in your eyes, and as they streamed down your cheeks, you wiped them away furiously, wishing that Michael never came into your life and made you fall in love. He made you fall for him in such a short amount of time and you believed that he would be there to catch you. He was at first, but then he just dropped you like a hot potato and it hurt when you fell on your own like that. Your phone buzzed and you picked it up from your drawer, wiping the last of the stray tears away from your face. It was a text message from an unknown number, but it might have been something important so you decided to open the message. "Hey, can you please meet me at the park in 5 minutes? I need to tell you something - Luke" You didn’t know what Luke was planning, but it seemed like it was an urgent plea or something similar, so you decided to just go ahead and meet Luke. You didn’t trust him just yet so you decided to keep your guard up as you made your way to the park. You were expecting to see a certain blonde haired boy, but instead you were met with Michael, who was holding a guitar in one hand and a red rose in another. You raised an eyebrow at him, eyeing the rose in his hand and then fixed your gaze onto his pale face. He had an apologetic expression on his face and his eyes were really sad. He approached you and looked directly into your eyes, and you tried your best to hold yourself back as he was making it really hard to stay mad at him. “So, I’m sorry for being such a dick to you before. I should probably tell you why I lied to Luke about you,” You took the rose from his hand with a small smile and looked up at him. “I was scared that he might not accept you, you’re not like most of the girls I used to date before. You’re so much different than they were, and I didn’t know how Luke would take that and I was scared that he might judge you. I don’t want him to judge you,” he says, leaning to wrap his free arm around you. He rested his chin on top of your head and your ear was pressed against his warm chest. “I am in love with you, and I need to do this right.” Once he pulled away, he began to strum on his guitar. He kept his gaze locked on you and he would occasionally look down at his guitar, checking to see if he was doing the right chords. “I’m gonna break down these walls, I built around myself,” Michael’s soft voice made you giggle, and you loved how he was singing your favorite All Time Low song to you. “I wanna fall so in love with you and no one else could ever mean half as much to me as you do now. Together we’ll move on, just don’t turn around…” You leaned in and Michael’s eyes widened before you pressed your lips onto his. He pulled away after a while and his jade eyes were fixed on you with a smile. “Let the walls break down.”
Calum:
You sprinted as fast as you could, you needed to run as far away as you can from Calum. You couldn’t show him just how weak you were, because as soon as you ran away from the group, tears started to stream down your face like an endless waterfall of hurt. What he said was actually pretty painful, considering that he told his friends that he was just going to fuck you and leave you. You didn’t know if he was lying or not, but either way, saying something like that would hurt, especially if you have developed feelings for the person who said that. You realized that you liked Calum a whole lot more than you thought, because you were easily hurt by what he just told his friends. It shouldn’t hurt that much if it was only a crush, but it hurt a whole lot more than you expected, leading you to the realization that Calum meant so much more to you. You were hoping that he wasn’t going to chase after you, you were half-expecting that honestly because he didn’t seem to care about you. You were proven wrong though, when you heard Calum’s voice calling your name behind you. You started to increase your speed, but your efforts were fruitless when you felt Calum’s rather muscular arms wrap around you, taking you down onto the ground. You yelped when your back hit his chest, and you tried to thrash around so that he would let you go. “Let me go right now!” You yelled as you continued to thrashed around, but Calum just hugged you tighter. “I will never let you go, no matter how much you tell me to let go, I would never ever let you go. The more you resist me, the more I will keep you close so don’t even bother resisting,” Calum’s hot breath tickled your ear, sending a shiver up your spine. You figured that you should just give up on trying to escape because you were just wasting your energy. It was clear that you weren’t gonna escape Calum’s hold anytime soon, so you just stopped moving and frowned. “That’s better, I just wanted to explain something and I’ll be out of your hair afterwards, so don’t worry.” Calum withdrew his arms from around your waist, but held onto your hand when he let you go. You shot him a look and he gave you a sheepish smile, “Just to make sure you wouldn’t run away again.” You sat yourself up and Calum did the same as well, his light brown eyes boring into you, taking in every single detail on your face. You felt slightly conscious of yourself and tucked a few strands of your hair behind your ear shyly, “What is it you wanted to explain to me?” You cleared your throat to snap Calum out of his daze and he looked up, giving you another one of those close-mouthed smiles of his. “I didn’t mean any of those stuff I said to the boys,” he started. “My team mates are huge assholes who just think that girls are playthings to fuck around with whenever they liked, and they usually make fun of me whenever I mention a girl because I don’t share the same idea about girls as they did. Girls are also people who have feelings and they deserve all the love and respect because they are beautiful people who make the world go round,” He smirked, reaching out to run his fingers down your jaw. “And I think of you as a girl, of course. Someone who has feelings and who deserves all the love and respect because you are a beautiful person both inside and out,” He leans in closer and rests his forehead against yours. You could feel his breath fanning on your face, and your eyes fixed themselves onto his plump lips. “And I may have a tiny crush on you since the first day of school,” He giggled, making you giggle as well. “So I would never ever do that to you, I prefer to actually have dinner with you first before fucking you senseless in your bedroom afterwards,” He sent you a wink, and you slapped his arm playfully as a blush crept it’s way onto your cheeks. “Then I guess you should go buy me dinner before you fuck me senseless then.” You leaned in and whispered in his ear, “I like to get kinky sometimes.” You pulled away and you were met with a blushing Calum who had his eyes set on your intertwined fingers, making you laugh. “So, dinner tonight then?” You gave him a firm nod, smirking at the thought of having Calum naked in your bed soon after your dinner. You were gonna have a great night, you could just feel it in your gut,
Luke:
"I don’t wanna hear any excuses!" You screamed out, covering your ears with your fingers to try to block out his empty words. Three days have passed since Ashton and Michael came over to your house to play some FIFA with your older brother, along with Luke, who arrived so much earlier than they did. Luke always did that, he would come a few hours earlier than the agreed time and he would use this time to mess around with you or talk about absolutely anything with you. You loved how he was willing to spend time with you before spending time with his best friend, and it made you feel special somehow as he would also prioritize you before your own brother, which was kind of odd. The more you spent time with him, the more you would fall in love with him. Deeper and deeper you fell, trying to find a way to get out but you knew that you were already in too deep to get out anymore. You accepted the fact that you can’t get out before, but now that you’re just desperate to get out of this hole you let yourself fall into, you would do absolutely anything to get out. And three days after that little dick move he pulled about telling his best friends that he didn’t even like you, he was already trying to apologize and explain himself, but you were having none of that. What he did hurt you immensely and you didn’t need his apology, what he just said the other day proved that he wasn’t that different from all the other dicks out there. You honestly thought he was different, that he was this shy kid who’s awkward for the first few weeks but breaks out of his shell when he gets comfortable around you. You thought that he was the type of guy to buy you flowers and apologize if he didn’t get your favorite ones and he would buy another bouquet of your favorite flowers. You thought that he was genuinely sweet and would honestly mean each and every one of his compliments. You thought that he was the type to get a girl falling hard for him but was there to catch her when she fell, but you were wrong, as usual. "Please just listen to me," Luke’s deep voice pleaded. You shook your head, not wanting anything to do with him anymore. You just wanted to forget him and all the memories you shared with him. "I just wanted to talk." He grabbed your wrist and slowly turned you around, making you scowl. Your eyes were met with those familiar blue eyes that always seemed to mesmerize you, and you found yourself being pulled in with those eyes once more. "There’s nothing to talk about," You looked away from him so that you wouldn’t have to look into his eyes anymore, you didn’t like looking straight into those gorgeous eyes because you were afraid that you would fall for him all over again if you did. "No words could ever make me forgive you." You pulled away from him, biting down on your bottom lip as you continued to walk away from Luke. You instructed yourself not to care about Luke, but it was hard not to care for someone you used to have feelings for. "Then maybe I don’t need words," You heard him say, before you felt his huge hand pull you back towards him. Your eyes widened when you felt warmth on your lips, and you were shocked to see that Luke was kissing you. You didn’t want to kiss back but the way his lips moved against yours made you melt, and you gave in. Your hands found the back of his neck and you closed your eyes, kissing him back. You felt him smirk against your lips, his hands making their way to your sides, rubbing them up and down as you pushed down on his neck to deepen the kiss. His kiss left you breathless, with your heart pounding harshly against your chest. You pulled away slowly, your eyes fluttering open as they met with the familiar cerulean ones you’ve gone used to. "I’m sorry, can you ever forgive me?" You gave his lips a quick peck with a giggle and sighed, "Does that answer your question?"
