Ashton's P.O.V
My eyes widened. Mena was finally mine! She loved me and I couldn't be happier than I was right now, with her arms wrapped around me.
To cherish the moment, I pressed my lips against hers, putting one hand on her waist and the other on the back of her neck, bringing her closer to me.
When I pulled away slowly to catch my breath, I smiled. "Mena, will you be my girlfriend?"
She smiled and pecked my lips. "Absolutely!"
Calum's P.O.V
Later that night I went over to Michael's house after texting Mena to see if she wanted me over.
I knocked on the door a couple times until Ashton answered the door...I thought he would've been gone by now.
I walked into the living room behind Ashton to see Mena, Michael, and Crystal all sitting on the couch watching Captain America: Civil War.
"Hey, Cal!" Crystal smiled as Ash sat down snuggling in close to Mena.
"Uh, hey." I gave her a quick smile and she stood up quickly, tugging Michael up with her.
"Let's go get the pizza." She said walking over to the kitchen, snatching her keys.
"Why am I being forced out of my own home?" Michaem complained following Crystal out of the door.
Mena laughed, sitting up more. For someone who had recently been punched, in the hospital, and crying not too long ago she seemed happy. I loved seeing her happy don't get me wrong but there was something about her that I just didn't get. She had a certain glow to her I hadn't seen before.
"I didn't mean to interrupt anything. I'll go then-"
"No wait." Mena stopped me before I could even finish. "I have something to tell you."
My heart sped up and I bit my lip.
Was she going to tell me she loves me?
That we can move in together, sleep in the same bed, and have random pillow fights?
Were we gonna be the cutest couple in L.A or what?
She looked down at her hands. "Ashton and I are together now." She said.
Someone please shoot me
"What?" I asked quietly not believing what I had just heard.
"Calum, I love you so much. But I opened up to Ashton so easily almost the day after we met and I could just feel he was the one, even thought it took me so long to realize it. But Cal, this doesn't mean I won't hang out with you, cuddle with you, or be there when you need me. I'm still the same Mena, and this has nothing to do with last night." She explained as my heart sank to the floor.
I loved her too much to watch her be someone else's. But I want her to have nothing but happiness. So I when I saw that new glow about her, I guess it was from Ashton. I know he will treat her well but I still hated how she wasn't mine.
I nod slowly, "I completely understand. Can I just talk to Ash for a second?" I asked and she fidgeted nervously knowing that the last time Ash and I spoke he punched me.
Ashton put a reassuring, large hand on her thigh and lead me to the sun room where a huge bay window showed the city with a beautiful sunset lowering behind it.
"Cal, please don't be mad about this. Y'know I love her can you just accept that? I don't want this to ruin our friendship. I can't lose you man. I love you too much for our friendship to be destroyed like this." Ashton shoved his hands into his pockets and looked at me with hope in his eyes.
"I'm really now mad. But just know that if you hurt her, I'll beat your ass. You get every ounce of that beautiful girl I love, but i respect her feelings. So if she's happy with you, I'm happy for you both. Plus, I can't bear not having you as my bestfriend." I admitted.
A smile broke out across Ash's face and he stepped forward pulling me into a tight hug.
We went back into the living room where Mena was snuggled up in a huge fluffy blanket.
"Ugh, Bucky's hot!" She muttered and we laughed.
Ashton curled up next to her and I laid on the other side of Mena laying my head on her lap.
"So you like Bucky huh?" Ash pretended to be jealous.
"Uh, hell yeah." She giggled making me smile up at her.
Soon enough all of our eyes grew heavy and we drifted off to sleep, even before Mike and Crys came home with the pizza.
Mena's P.O.V
I woke up on the couch, in between Ashton's legs, and Calum's head on my stomach. Ash's hand lying gently on my chest.
Suddenly my phone began buzzing uncontrollably. I leaned over slowly, picking it up to see Luke's name on my phone with a picture of him making a funny face on my screen.
I answered quietly. "Hey, can I call you back? Ash and Cal are sleeping-"
"S-she broke up with...with me." Luke sobbed into the phone and my jaw dropped.
"Oh my God, Luke I'm so sorry. Where are you?" I asked.
"My, my house." He replied shakily.
I gently moved Calum off of me, getting off the couch as quiet as possible, grabbing Michael's keys.
"I'm coming over. Stay where you are." I ordered.
Ashton started squirming underneath Calum and his eyes flickered open, looking over at me.
"Morning, beautiful." He beamed sitting up.
Calum groaned waking up too. "Where are you going?"
Calum ran his hand through his dark locks, tugging at them slightly. He rolled off the couch stumbling to his feet.
"Luke's. Arzaylea broke up with him." I replied crossing my arms.
Ashton stood up from the couch, rubbing his eyes. "You can't drive let me."
"I'm going with." Michael appeared in the doorway.
"Me too." Calum yawned.
I nodded throwing Ashton the keys to his car and grabbed the tub of ice cream we had in the freezer.
In the car, I sat up front with Ash while Cal say in the back with Mikey.
I had no words to describe how pissed I was at Arzaylea for breaking Luke's heart like that. He had so many good memories with her, and with how much he seemed to love her, he had grown attached. My fists clenched in anger and Ashton put his hand on mine.
I looked over at him as he kept one hand on the steering wheel, smiling over at me.
"He'll be ok." He said and I smiled softly.
"I hope so."
When we got to his house we knocked on the door several times until Calum finally just walked in.
"Luke?" We called.
We walked into the living room to see Luke staring at his phone scrolling through old texts. Tears rested on his cheeks as Michael snatched his phone from Luke's hand, chucking it across the room.
Michael, Calum, Ashton, and I sat on both sides of Luke giving him the ice cream along with some comforting words. But I remained silent, watching the other boys comfort him. Ashton's hand laying on my thigh as he spoke to Luke.
A knock on the door echoed through the house and they grew silent.
"I'll get it." I stand up and make my way to the door.
I opened the door to see Arzaylea on the door step where short ripped jean shorts, and a low cut tight black tank top. But with her were groups of people with cameras and microphones getting out of their vans.
Paparazzi.
"Where's Luke?" She crossed her spray tanned arms, putting her sunglasses on top of her head, showing a complete full face of makeup but no sign of crying.
I raised an eyebrow. "He's busy, and definitely doesn't want to see you. Goodbye Arzaylea."
I went to shut the door, but she grabbed it with her perfectly manicured hand, stopping me from closing it.
"I don't give a fuck if he's busy!" She forced the door back open. "Now let me in."
"Fuck off!" I yelled back but a hand appeared on my shoulder. I looked over to see Luke standing behind me.
"What do you want?" He asked coldly, the boys coming up behind him with crossed arms.
"I just wanted to see your face again before I went on vacation." She fake smiled batting her eyelashes.
Luke remained emotionless while leaning down to grab something from beside the door. I saw him grab a duffle bag pushing it into her chest making her stumble back a little.
"There's your shit. Now dont come to my house again." He growled going to shut the door.
I shot her a smug smile and she scoffed. "Whatever hang out with this whore and your stupid ass bandmates."
My eyes widened and I heard some people in the yard gasp. She had no idea what she was in for...
"First of all, the only whore here is you because I can see you already have another guy in your car. Second of all these guys behind me have more talent in their dicks then you have jk your entire body." I raged while everyone in the yard stared.
Arzaylea was speechless. So she just rolled her eyes and started to walk back to her car while the paparazzi whispered
"Wait!" I shouted after her.
She turned around after shoving the duffle bag in her car, a hand placed on her hip.
"Mena what are you doing?" Calum asked from behind me but I just grinned.
"You forgot something..." I stuck up my middle and she huffed getting back into her car and driving off.
The boys cheered behind me and the paparazzi huddled closer to me on the doorstep.
"Mena how does it feel to have been in two fights in the past two days?" An MTV interviewer asked me, pushing his microphone into my face intently.
"Uh, honestly the first fight was stupid and we all pushed through it together. But Arzaylea, we all knew it would happen, and somebody had to put her in her place." I explained looking around at all the camera's recording me as I spoke.
"Is it true you and Ashton are together now?" Another asked.
I smiled pressing my tongue between my top and bottom teeth. The word 'Together' already loving the term they used to talk about Ashton and I.
"You don't have to-" Ashton whispered but I just ignored him.
"It is definitely true." I confirmed then I waved to the crowd of people the yard. "Sorry guys but no more questions."
Once I shut the door I turned to the 4 boys I called my family since the family I had been born with didn't accept me like these boys that I love so much.
"That was fucking amazing!" Michael grinned hugging me while the others agreed.
Ashton walked to my side as the other 3 boys walked into the living room. Wrapping his arm around my waist, I look over at my best friend I could now call my boyfriend with a smile.
He pressed his soft lips to my forehead then giggled softly.
"I love you." He said with a small smile.
