Calum (Why won't you love me?)
I sat in the bar where Calum and I liked to go, at a table for one. I knew that it was meant to be a date, but it never felt like that anymore. Now, it felt more like two strangers catching up after years apart. I looked up and gave Calum a small smile as he walked into the bar.
"Hey." He spoke as he walked to the table, prompting me to stand up. He kissed my cheek before looking at the table.
"You couldn't have gotten me a chair?" he chuckled awkwardly.
"Sorry." I mumbled as I sat back down. He sighed and gave me a small smile before grabbing a chair from another table and placing it opposite me before sitting down.
"Can I, erm, can I get you a drink?" he asked.
"My vodka coke is fine, thanks." I nodded. He returned it and sighed as he rubbed a hand over his face.
"Can we please just talk about whatever the fuck is going on with us right now?" he scoffed, shaking his head as he looked at me. I sighed and looked down.
"Can you tell me, love? Why I hold onto you, and you hold onto me? Clearly, this isn't-."
"Don't say it." I shook my head as I looked back at him. He sighed.
"Y/N, babe, we can't keep ignoring what's right in front of us." He spoke. I bit my lip as tears pricked my eyes and I downed the rest of my drink.
"I best be getting home." I nodded as I grabbed my jacket and stood up.
"You want me to walk you back?" he asked.
"I'm good. You still okay with me seeing you off at the airport tomorrow?" I asked.
"Course." He nodded. I gave him a small smile and rushed out of the bar before the tears started to fall.
Calum's P.O.V
Calum walked through the airport tunnel with the boys. He looked down at his phone, clicking the airplane mode on before sighing at the picture of Y/N, smiling. He hadn't seen her smile genuinely in a long time.
"Be good 'til I get back." He whispered, gently pressing a finger against the screen before putting his phone away.
"You guys okay?" Luke asked. Calum sighed and shook his head.
"No. We're not alright, but I'll pretend. That's what she wants." He nodded. Luke sighed and returned it as they boarded the plane.
Y/N's P.O.V
Tears streamed down my face as I dialled Calum's number with shaking hands before putting the phone to my ear.
"Hello?" he picked up.
"Um, hey." I gulped and looked down. There was a pause.
"What was with the three missed calls at two a.m.? You okay?" he asked.
"No, I, erm, need to talk to you." I nodded.
"About what? What's wrong?" he asked. I looked down as tears streamed down my face.
"My best girlfriend just got engaged, and it made me realise that I need to make a change." I nodded. There was a pause.
"What are you saying, Y/N?" Calum spoke quietly.
"I'm saying that it's so hard to be lonely." I choked. There was a sigh.
"Why won't you love me? Why won't you just love me?" he choked. I looked down.
"I promise that when I close my eyes, I'm with you on the other side, but I just can't do this anymore. I can't love you anymore." I cried. My heart broke as I heard Calum start to cry before the line went dead. I choked and just said there for a moment before putting my head in my hands.
Luke (Lie to me)
I quietly opened the door to mine and Luke's apartment before slipping in and gently shutting it, being careful not to wake him. After all, it was three a.m. I took off my heels and padded through the apartment before slipping into our bedroom. I quietly sighed in relief as I saw Luke in bed, asleep. I tiptoed to the wardrobe, being careful not to wake him before slowly peeling my dress off of my shoulders.
"I thought that if I could make it to dawn, it wouldn't be hard to see that I'm not happy." I whipped around and gulped as Luke was now awake and sat up in the bed.
"I was trying not to wake you." I chuckled slightly, my heart thumping through my chest. He looked at me as he stood from the bed.
"I changed flights from New York City so that you could stay with me, I thought that I was getting it right, I thought that I was making you stay." He spoke. Tears started to prick my eyes as it was becoming clear that he knew.
"But obviously what I did wasn't enough for you. Mum saw you with him yesterday, I lied to her and said it was your brother. I keep being left to clean up your mess, whilst I know that that asshole is taking off your dress." He choked, shaking his head. I sighed and looked down.
"If I asked you, would you lie to me?" he asked. I looked back at him.
"Asked me what, Luke-."
"You know damn well what. If I ask you if you love me, will you lie to me?" he asked, his eyes wavering as a tear fell from them. I choked, a tear falling from my own eye.
"Yes. Yes, I would lie, and tell you that I love you." I admitted. His eyes wavered again and he nodded before looking down.
"All this time, I thought I had it right. But no." he scoffed, shaking his head.
"I'm sorry, Luke." I whispered. He shook his head again before sitting on the edge of the bed and putting his head in his hands.
~One month later~
"How about Panda Express?" Michael asked as Luke and the boys walked through the shopping centre.
"Works for me." Luke nodded before looking forward. His eyes wavered as he saw Y/N, looking brand new virtually overnight.
"Is that..."
"Yup." Luke nodded, his eyes wavering as he saw her with the guy that she had cheated on him with.
"I'm sorry, mate." Calum sighed, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"It doesn't matter." He mumbled. His eyes widened as she looked at him, and her eyes wavered slightly before looking back at her boyfriend and smiling.
"Honestly, I wish we'd never met, she's simply too hard to forget." He scoffed, shaking his head as he sighed.
"I know, mate, we're here for you." Michael reassured.
"She looks happy." Ashton spoke.
"Happier than she was with me." Luke replied, his eyes wavering once more before looking down.
Michael (Want you back)
Tears rolled down my face as I carried the last box out of mine and Michael's apartment before putting it in the car. The rain hammered down, soaking me through as I slammed the door.
"Y/N, wait." I closed my eyes, another tear leaving them before I turned around to see Michael rushing out into the rain. He gulped as he looked at me.
"I can't help but wonder if this is the last time that I'll see your face." He admitted, looking at me with broken eyes as the rain soaked his blond fringe. I sighed.
"I hope not, but something tells me that it will be." I nodded. He returned my sigh before walking towards me and looking at the tear drops on my face.
"Are those tears, or just this fucking rain?" he asked, chuckling slightly as he looked up.
"They're tears." I admitted. His smile dipped and he looked back down at me before sighing.
"I haven't been trusting my brain lately, so I wish I could say something that doesn't sound insane. I know you think that I won't ever change, but the truth is that I want you back." He admitted. My eyes widened slightly.
"Michael, I have literally just packed the last of my shit up, why are you telling me this?" I choked.
"Because no matter where I go, or how long you're gone, I'm always going to want you back. I know, that you know that I'll never get over you. I just want you back, babe." He choked, shaking his head. I sighed and looked down.
"I know I said that I've moved on, but I still dream of you. I still remember the freckles on your back, I remember the way I used to make you laugh, fuck, I even remember the roses on your shirt that I was staring at when you told me that this would never work." He scoffed, shaking his head as the rain continued to soak us through.
"I'm always going to want you back." He nodded. I sighed and looked at him.
"Okay. Let's go inside, and talk about this out of the rain." I nodded. A small smile spread across his lips and he returned the nod before gently taking my hand and leading us inside.
Ashton (Ghost of you)
Ashton's P.O.V
Ashton slowly peeled his eyes open and immediately blinked at the sunlight streaming through the windows. He looked at the untouched other side of the bed, Y/N's side. It had been a year and he still couldn't sleep on her side. His eyes drifted to the coffee mug that sat on her bedside table, the one with the lipstick stain that was fading with time. His eyes wavered and he sighed as he sat up, scratching at his stubble. He walked around the bed and gently picked the mug up before walking into the kitchen. He should have gone back to sleep, that way, Y/N could have told him that he'd be just fine. He wouldn't have believed it though. He turned the faucet on, the water immediately soaking his hands and his wedding ring. He took a deep breath before running the sponge over the lipstick stain, wiping the mug clean. His heart pounded through his chest as he clutched the edge of the porcelain sink.
"I'll be just fine." He whispered to himself.
"Ash? You up?" he looked up as he heard the front door open and Calum's voice.
"In the kitchen, mate." He yelled back. Calum smiled at him as he walked in.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Getting there." Ashton nodded, turning to face Calum as he dried the mug. Calum's eyes widened.
"Is that Y/N's mug?" he asked. Ashton sighed and nodded.
"It is. I just washed it, for the first time since she died." He spoke, placing it gently on the counter.
"And you're okay with that?" Calum asked. Ashton sighed.
"I actually am. I also found this yesterday." He spoke, picking up the zeppelin shirt that was over the back of a chair.
"She wore this when she ran away, when no one could feel her hurt. Everyone said we were too young and too dumb to know things like love. We showed them." He smiled to himself, running his fingers over the fabric.
"You're doing well, mate. It's good, Y/N would want you to be okay." Calum nodded. Ashton returned it before going back to the counter.
"I still dance with her, you know." He nodded. Calum looked at him.
"What?" he asked.
"Y/N used to get home from work, she used to be absolutely shattered and in a bad mood. The only thing to do to cheer her up would be to dance around the house. She loved it. So, I still dance with her. For her." He nodded. Calum returned it and smiled.
"That's really nice, mate." Calum spoke. Ashton smiled and looked down, grasping Y/N's mug in his hands.
Ashton stood in his and Y/N's bedroom, sorting clothes out. He looked up and smiled to himself as Y/N walked in.
"You here for your dance?" he smiled.
"You know it." She returned, making him laugh as he took her hand. He curled his arms around her waist, making her loop her arms over his shoulders as they gently swayed to non-existent music. Ashton closed his eyes, a tear leaving his eye as he rested his cheek against Y/N's hair and tightly cupped his hand around her head, petrified that she would disappear if he let go.
"You'll be just fine." She whispered. Ashton opened his eyes again, another tear leaving his eye as he was alone once more.
"So, I drown it out, like I always do, dancing through our house, with the ghost of you, and I chase it down, with a shot of truth, then my feet don't dance, like they did with you." He sang gently, singing Y/N her favourite song, for the last time.
Calum (Youngblood)
Calum smashed our lips together as we stumbled into his apartment and he shut the door. I smirked as he immediately ran us to a wall, pinning me against it as he gripped my hips and pushed them against his own.
"Do you remember the words you told me? You said you'd love me 'til the day I die." He mumbled against my lips. I closed my eyes as he moved his lips down to my neck.
"What can I say, Cal? I just love taking from you." I smirked, trying not to moan as he bit at my neck. He stopped and looked at me.
"See? You used to call me baby, now you're using my name. It takes one to know one, huh." He smirked. I returned it before pushing him back, making him fall onto his bed. He looked at me and propped himself up onto his elbows as I walked towards him.
"You know I need it, that's why I keep saying that I want you back in my life." I spoke as I straddled him and joined our lips again. He returned it, holding my thighs as I pushed him down onto the bed before moving my lips to his neck.
"You leave me a dead man walking every night that you do this. I'm just a dead man crawling tonight, because I need it too, and you know that." He spoke, making me smirk against his skin.
"Why do these encounters always start with one of us getting drunk and calling a hundred times?" he chuckled. I returned it as I looked at him.
"Because that's the only time we both realise that I shouldn't be calling anyone else baby, because nobody can take your place." I nodded, making him smirk.
"I know that you look at strangers, hoping to god that you see my face." He spoke before leaning up and joining our lips again. I returned it and smirked into the kiss as I pushed Calum back down onto the bed.
Luke (More)
I sat on the window sofa, staring out of the window as rain pounded against it. I sighed as I heard the floorboards creaking as Luke walked in, the echoing sound being evidence that our house was painfully empty.
"Can I ask you something?" he spoke. I looked at him and raised my eyebrows.
"If me and you are living in the same place, why do we feel alone?" he asked. I sighed and looked back out of the window.
"I mean, we have a house full of everything we wanted, but it's an empty home." He admitted. I looked at him and sighed again.
"We can both feel that something is broken." He scoffed, shaking his head. I stood up.
"The issue is, all the dreams we had? They don't mean what they did before." I shrugged.
"Babe, I just want to get back to us, because we used to have more. Fuck, it feels like we're missing out on so much, it feels like I'm standing behind a door." He admitted. I sighed and looked down.
"Look, I know that it's hard when we're living in different nations, and I know that enemy lines have been drawn, but I just want us back. I want to stop talking through the bedroom walls." He choked, tears pricking his eyes. Tears pricked my own eyes as I just looked at him.
"It feels like time has frozen, but in a place where we're breaking. And I've got to be honest, I can't stay without hoping. I can't stay if I think we're not going to get better." He nodded. I gulped.
"We'll never be alone, Luke. I know that we've been speaking in different tongues communicating, I know it feels like we've lost what we used to have, but we'll be okay." I choked. He sighed and nodded.
"I just want to get back to us, cause we used to have more." He nodded, a tear leaving his eye as he left the room, tears leaving my own eyes as he left.
Michael (Meet you there)
Michael and I lay in his bed, his crisp white sheets covering our naked bodies. I rested my hand against his bare chest, feeling at ease with his hand rubbing up and down my back.
"You know, every moment spent, I wish I was with you." He mumbled into my hair. I looked up at him.
"No matter where you go, you know that I'll wait for you." I nodded. He smiled and looked at the ceiling.
"You know, when it's physical, I can't keep track of the days." He scoffed and shook his head. I briefly sat up and looked at my phone.
"It's Saturday." I nodded.
"I'm trying to be romantic, goddammit." He laughed, making me return it as he pulled me back against his chest. His smile dipped slightly as he looked at me.
"I hate to admit it, but I think we need to go our separate ways." He nodded. My smile dipped too.
"What?" I choked.
"You go your way, and I'll go mine, and if we're meant to, I'll meet you there." He spoke as he sat up and took my face in his hands. I sighed and looked at him.
"Look, this time, and next time, you know I'll meet you there. We can't speed up the hands of time, but if we're meant to, I promise you that I'll meet you there." He nodded, looking into my eyes. I sighed.
"You'll meet me there." I mumbled.
"I promise you." He whispered. I gulped and nodded again before joining our lips, a tear leaving my eye as I realised that this was the last time that I'd be kissing Michael for a while. He broke the kiss and touched our foreheads.
"I'll meet you there." He whispered.
Ashton (Moving along)
Ashton's P.O.V
"Ash? You awake?" Ashton slowly opened his eyes as he heard his front door open, and Luke's voice. He looked around and his eyes widened as he realised that he had fallen asleep on his sofa. Naked.
"Don't come in!" he yelled as Luke walked in.
"Why-oh, Jesus Christ, mate, it's too early in the morning to be seeing my best friend's dick." Luke groaned as he closed his eyes and held out his hand to block the view. Ashton rolled his eyes and sat up as he grabbed a pair of boxers.
"Did you fall asleep drunk again?" Luke asked as Ashton pulled his boxers on before grabbing a T-shirt and jeans.
"I think so. I can't really remember." He spoke, pulling his clothes on.
"Yeah, well, the empty vodka bottle remembers." Luke sighed, holding up the glass bottle.
"Is it bad that I fell asleep naked and drunk on my sofa?" Ashton chuckled.
"Yes, yes, it is, now, let's get some coffee down your neck, we've got the studio in an hour." Luke smiled, making Ashton chuckle again as he grabbed his phone, keys and wallet.
Luke and Ashton sat in the window of the café. Ashton looked out at the street outside.
"Is it bad that I'm hoping that she's broken?" he asked. Luke looked at him.
"What?" he asked. Ashton looked at him.
"Is it bad? That I'm hoping she's broken, and hasn't found any fish in the ocean?" he asked, making Luke sigh.
"Y/N cheated on you, so, no, I don't think it's bad that maybe you don't want her to be happy for a while." He nodded. Ashton sighed and looked down at his untouched coffee.
"I've been thinking about her a lot lately. I keep wondering if she eats breakfast alone like me. And then I start being the stupid one who regrets ending it." He sighed.
"Ash, don't feel like that. She cheated, she betrayed you. I know that you miss her, I know that you feel all alone without her, but the fact is that you're better off without her, mate." Luke reassured, Ashton looked at him.
"I hooked up with a girl last night." He admitted.
"Ey, good! Get yourself back out there." Luke smiled.
"No. It isn't good, because as soon as she left, I started wondering if Y/N is filling empty beds just like me. Then, I asked her to come over, and I told her that I love her." He nodded.
"Ash, you didn't." Luke sighed.
"I just want to know if she's moving along. Because maybe if I know that she is, I can move along too. And I know it may not seem like it, but that's all I want to fucking do." He scoffed and shook his head, tears pricking his eyes. Luke sighed.
"You'll be alright, mate. You'll be okay." Luke reassured. Ashton sighed and nodded before looking down.
Calum (Babylon)
"Y/N, stop." Calum sighed as I stormed through the house, throwing my stuff into the cardboard box that I held.
"Why should I?" I spat.
"Because you're clearly way too faded to drive, you may as well stay one more night." He shook his head. I sighed and threw the box down before holding a hand to my head.
"I thought we had our place. It was just our place, it was my fucking headspace." He scoffed and shook his head. I looked at him.
"See? I can see it on your face, a small trace. We've been erased, because of you." He choked. I looked at him.
"This isn't just down to me, Calum. We said we both loved higher than we knew we could go, this is on you too." I scoffed.
"You were the one who burned too bright. You admitted that the hardest part was knowing when to let go. You burned too fighting bright and now the fire's gone. All we can do is watch it all fall down." He spoke. I bit my lip as tears pricked my eyes.
"I know that I fucked up. I know that my short fuse made you tired of the view, and I wish we could start anew, but the truth is that we can't." I choked.
"I just, I can't help but watch it fall down. Look, I'm way too faded to fight, so you can stay one more night, but I think you should go tomorrow." He admitted quietly. I nodded and my eyes wavered as a tear left my eye.
"The fire had been gone for a while, Cal. We were never going to get that back." I shook my head. A tear left his eye and he looked down again.
"It was just too hard to know when to let go, huh. You had to let us burn too bright." He choked before walking into our room and shutting the door, making tears fall from my eyes.
Luke (Empty wallets)
"Luke, I can't find my purse." I whined as he pulled me out of the club.
"Stop digging in your heart, tonight is on me." He smiled.
"Stop trying so hard." I chuckled, making him laugh as he pulled me into another nightclub.
"Come on, we've got the whole night. Will you spend it with me?" he asked, looking at me as he pulled me onto the dancefloor.
"Only because you got me high." I smiled, the drugs making my head foggy as we started to dance.
"You get high when I do. That's how we see eye to eye." He chuckled.
"I thought we see eye to eye because you love me." I smirked.
"No." he chuckled and shook his head before leaning down and kissing my neck. My smirk widened and I closed my eyes as he gripped my hips.
Luke and I lay in his bed, his sheets covering our naked bodies.
"You know, I always believed in second chances. That's why I always believed in you. Maybe I shouldn't have though." He mumbled, looking up at the ceiling as he rested his hands against his stomach. I sighed and looked at him.
"The sugar caught a break. For once, the fluid isn't to blame for the sugar causing pain." I chuckled slightly, trying to lighten the mood. Luke sighed and sat up before grabbing his wallet and opening it.
"Great. I spent all of my money last night. We're living our lives on empty wallets." He mumbled, chucking his empty wallet onto the bed. My smile dipped.
"Why do you do this?" I asked as I sat up and held the sheets against my chest. He looked over his shoulder at me.
"Do what?" he mumbled.
"Get us both high, so that we can have a good time and see eye to eye, but then we go from higher to low, and you act like you don't even want to be friends, let alone lovers." I scoffed. He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face.
"I don't know, I just...we haven't loved each other for a long time, we both know that. But when I'm high, it feels like we have that back, and I love it." He admitted, looking at me. I gulped and nodded, tears pricking my eyes.
"But we can't be high forever." I smiled slightly but it faded quickly as I tried to swallow the lump in my throat.
"And that's why we're no longer together. We only love each other when we're high, so our love would literally kill us." He mumbled as he stood up. I gulped, looking down and fiddling with my shaking hands.
"I get it. For the record though, I love you even when I'm not high, but...it's okay that you don't feel the same anymore." I nodded, giving him a small smile. He sighed and returned it as he sat next to me on the bed. He smiled slightly as he leant over me to grab the small bag of cocaine that sat on the bedside table.
"How about we love each other one more time?" he asked, holding up the bag and making me smile.
"Okay." I nodded. He returned it before starting to open the bag.
"Wait." I spoke, putting my hand on top of his and making him look at me.
"I don't want to get high for this." I whispered, shaking my head. He sighed and nodded, giving me a small smile as he looked at my lips. He looked back at my eyes before leaning in and kissing me. I closed my eyes and held his face, a tear leaving my eye as I knew that this was the end. I broke the kiss and touched our foreheads as a tear left Luke's eye. He gave me one last small smile before touching our foreheads again and closing his eyes.
Michael (Better man)
Michael's P.O.V
Michael stood in the kitchen, getting another drink as the party raged on. He took the cigarette from in between his lips before taking a drink of his vodka coke mix, his face screwing up as it was a 70/30 mix, the 70 being vodka.
"Strong drink, huh." He turned around and his eyes widened slightly as a beautiful woman walked into the kitchen. He looked down at the cup.
"Um, yeah. Usually I'd go for beer or something, but I want to get absolutely fucked." He chuckled, making the woman laugh.
"You're funny. What's your name?" she asked.
"Michael, you?" he asked.
"Y/N." she nodded.
"Will I see you again, Y/N?" he asked.
"If you want to." She smirked as she left the kitchen, leaving Michael stood there with wide eyes.
~Six months later~
Y/N's P.O.V
"I can't do this anymore, Michael." I choked as I grabbed my purse and coat.
"Please, babe, just wait." He returned my choke, taking my hand. I sighed and turned to face him.
"When you met me, most people would find me at quarter to three with a cigarette in my hand. I was fading away, I'd have new friends again and again that would all be gone when the morning came. But you, you made me a better man." He nodded. I gulped and looked at him.
"Darling, all of my wrongs have led me right to you. In your arms is where I'd die for your love." He smiled and shook his head as he took my hands.
"Michael-."
"Look, I know that I've never been easy to be with, but you topped the highest of my highs. You are what shined in the dead of the night, and I was the first to fall. I would wake up next to someone with nothing to say, but you changed that all." He nodded.
"Do you mean that, Michael?" I asked.
"Every word. You're the only one who can lock this wild heart up in chains, and that's the way I want it to be. With your love, I'm a better man." He admitted. I sighed and nodded.
"Okay. I'll stay." I spoke. He sighed in relief as he gently kissed me.
"I love you, Y/N." he whispered.
"I love you too." I smiled before hugging him.
Ashton (Talk fast)
I stood in Ashton's bedroom, looking at my scarcely clad body in the mirror. I smirked as he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, peppering a couple of kisses along my neck before looking at us in the mirror.
"Goddammit, we look good together." He smirked, making me smile.
"Not going to lie, I know this is meant to be a "friends with benefits" gig, but I no longer want a moment with you. I'm kind of hoping for forever." He admitted. I scoffed and turned around in his arms.
"This won't last, and I know that you're okay with that." I nodded.
"I'm serious, I've been dreaming about a knitted sweater for two." He smiled, making me laugh.
"Look, I know that this is a burn and crash romance, and I will totally take what I can get from you, but I'm also ringing the bell for last call. I want this to go somewhere." He admitted. My smile dipped slightly.
"I know that you left your indecisions at home, that's why it's so easy for us to just casually sleep together. But why does the idea of us having a relationship have to be so complicated? Throw me a bone, I want your love in every flavour." He nodded, looking into my eyes. I sighed as I looked up at him.
"How do I know you're serious? Ash, I love you, but you've done this before, you've said you want to be in a relationship, and then have turned around the next day and said "let's go back to friends with benefits"." I scoffed. He sighed.
"I know that I've not got a great track record. But let me prove it. Just give me a second, that's all." He pleaded. I looked at him and sighed.
"Okay. We can try this again." I nodded. He smiled and returned my nod before taking my face and kissing me passionately.
Calum (Monster among men)
Tears ran down my face as I stared at the Instagram photo of Calum hugging another girl and smiling. I choked as I could see that he was hugging her the way that he hugged me, his hands cupping her waist and pulling her hips against his own.
"I'm home!" his voice rang out as the door shut. I choked as I stood up and wiped my tears away as he walked in. He looked at me.
"You okay?" he asked quietly.
"You tell me." I scoffed as I showed him the photo. His eyes widened and he gulped.
"Babe, I can explain-."
"No. I've heard your explanations one too many times. I'm done." I choked as I grabbed my stuff and rushed out of the door.
"Y/N, please." Calum spoke as I rushed out of his apartment and into the rain.
"Why? So that you can tell me that you cheated again?" I choked.
"That's not what happened, please, just listen to me." He replied, taking my wrist and turning me around.
"What, Calum?" I scoffed. He sighed and looked down as the rain soaked us through.
"Look, the truth is that demons hide behind my back constantly. They lead me to do their dirty work, but because of you, I won't let them knock down my door." He admitted, looking at me. I sighed.
"I can't take it anymore, babe. I won't break your heart again, I swear, I don't want to be a monster among men." He choked.
"Calum, you've said this before, and I'm sure you'll say it again, how do I know that I can trust you again?" I scoffed, making him sigh.
"Look, I know that it's time to admit that I'm an asshole. I know I am. I know that our relationship is so fragile and is always on the verge of falling like sandcastles, but I really want to make this work." He nodded as he slowly walked to me and took my hands in his. I gulped and looked up at him.
"I'm done being a monster among men." He nodded, looking into my eyes. I sighed and nodded before leaning up and kissing him. He returned it instantly, kissing me passionately and holding my face as the rain continued to pour down.
Luke (If walls could talk)
I stood in the kitchen at Calum's party, getting myself a vodka and coke.
"You know, if these walls could talk, I'd hope they wouldn't say anything." My lips curled into a smirk as I heard the familiar voice.
"We'd fall from grace, they've seen way too many things." I replied as I turned around. Luke smirked as he walked towards me.
"Good to see you again, babe." He nodded as he walked in.
"And you, Hemmings." I smirked, making him laugh.
"Have I ever told you how much I love your hair and your face?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Luke, you tell me every time that we hook up." I chuckled as I turned back around.
"Why wouldn't I? You're a queen, just without a crown." He shrugged. I smirked again as he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and started to kiss my neck.
"Why is everything so primitive?" he hummed against my skin.
"Don't complain, you always give in." I spoke, my smirk widening as he bit at my neck. I gasped slightly as he suddenly turned me around and pressed my hips against the counter, pinning me against it with his body and his hands firmly on my hips.
"Some things are meant to be secret, so if I tell you, just keep it, and don't say a word." He whispered as he looked at my lips.
"Is this your way of telling me that no one should know about our little "friends with benefits" situation?" I smirked. He returned it and nodded.
"You know, when the doors are all closing, it's bound to get loud, but we can control that. The issue is that these bodies are hoping to get addicted to that sound." He nodded. I bit my lip and smiled at him.
"Oh, if only these walls could talk." I whispered as I leant up and kissed him, making him smirk as he quickly returned it.
Michael (Valentine)
"Baby." Michael whispered as he gently kissed my neck, making me slowly open my eyes.
"Hey." I yawned.
"Happy Valentine's Day." He smiled.
"Happy Valentine's Day." I returned before leaning up and kissing him. He returned it, rolling on top of me and running his hand up and down my leg. I broke the kiss and smiled at him before my eyes drifted past him. My eyes widened.
"Jesus Christ!" I gasped, holding the sheets against my naked chest as I sat up and looked at the massive Teddy Bear that sat in the corner with balloons wrapped around its foot.
"That's your first present." He smiled. I sighed and put a hand against my chest.
"It scared the shit out of me, but I love it." I smiled.
"Sorry, baby. But come on, I'm taking you out." He nodded.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter, just as long as I'm with you tonight." He smiled. I returned it before kissing him.
"Have you had a good time?" Michael asked as he let us into our apartment.
"It was amazing, Mikey. You know that I love our permanent chase and the bite of our bark." I smiled. He chuckled and nodded as he gently wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Not as much as I love the light in your eyes and the dark in your heart." He smirked.
"What can we say? We're classic together like Egyptian gold." I chuckled.
"Did you really just use a lyric from one of my songs to describe us?" he laughed.
"I did." I nodded. He laughed and shook his head.
"Well, speaking of Egyptian gold..." he spoke as he got something out of his pocket and got down on one knee. My eyes widened as he opened the velvet box to reveal a beautiful engagement ring.
"Michael." I choked.
"I know, I'm so cliché for proposing on Valentine's Day, but we're going to ignore that." He smiled, making me laugh.
"Y/N, I've got nothing but love for you. In fact, I fall more in love with you every day. I'm so deep in, that your DNA is messed with my touch, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I want to keep fuelling this fire because what we have is so real, love. So, will you let me fall in love with you more every day for the rest of our lives?" he asked.
"Michael, yes, oh, my god." I laughed, tears leaving my eyes. He smiled as he stood up and gently put the ring onto my finger.
"I love you so much, my valentine." He whispered before kissing me passionately.
Ashton (Woke up in Japan)
"Jesus Christ." I opened my eyes slightly as I heard Ashton sit up beside me. I opened my eyes fully and rolled over to look at him.
"What happened last night?" I asked.
"I think we got high." He chuckled as he stood up.
"I've always wanted to wake up in Japan." He smiled as he went to the window and gently peeled back the third-floor curtains.
"Last night was the best I've ever had." I spoke as I lay back down.
"I should hope so, considering it was me." He smirked, making me laugh as he turned on the morning news from the day before.
"It's been more than just a neon weekend. It feels like the end." I admitted. Ashton looked over his shoulder at me.
"We don't have to feel lonely, you know. We can fall fast, and breathe slow. I know that our time is up, but it doesn't matter. The end is just a dream." He spoke as he crawled over me.
"You're enough to let the night let go of me." I nodded. He smirked before leaning down and kissing my neck. Suddenly, there was a knock on the hotel room door.
"Goddammit." Ashton growled as he got up and opened the door. I yawned as I looked at the TV again.
"Great. We got a noise complaint from room 304." He grumbled as he shut the door and crawled back onto the bed.
"I'm not surprised. We got high, and whenever we get high, we have sex, and loud sex too." I chuckled, making him laugh.
"How about a round two now?" he smirked as he crawled on top of me and kissed up my body as he went.
"Nah, I don't like fucking you when I'm sober." I joked.
"Wow. My own girlfriend." He laughed before leaning down and kissing my neck again.
